they hv got vat also, but if u buy on9 then no vat ler... if u go to shop got also..

except their sales tax not that high compared to europe's vat and depends on where you're living, you may get lower tax
besides, living there = buy online la (like my friends) tongue.gif

anyway, generally, how long stock thermal paste will last? thinking of reapply it smile.gif

i talk with the person in service center, Y580 is a problem machine, everyone send their device via common issues such as display problem:
1. screen stuck while playing game
2. hardware problem such as myself, bluescreen and power problem

EDITED : mostly Y480 hav no big issue, from the aspect of performance are better than Y580 although the spec is not that high, mostly the problem in Y480 is bluetooth issue.

bro try and go lowyat lenovo service center, really highly recommended, trust me  smile.gif  i been sitting there for whole day chit chat and while fixing my lappy problem with the engineers there.

lol... don't demote my future job to the guys handling at service centers cry.gif cry.gif
did you check whether those problematic y580 is from which variation? since somehow i have a feeling that many problem got on the no bluray variation hmm.gif

Im playong some games at lenovo .. Ps2 emulator and pes13

Wanna ask should i take out the battery or not while playing games??
Bcause last time i use acer.. It have 3 hours battery, then after i played fifa with battery in it,,my battery drainn so fast..
It only last 20min, then 10 then 5 minutes ...
Also anyone can recommend cheap wireless mouse that actually works really well..
Not gaming mouse..just normal bcause im not used to the trackpad ..
*
if gaming that long, just remove the battery la... the heat sure will build up and decrease battery performance fast..
as for mouse, i'm using microsoft wireless 4000... it's ok with many surface type

Is it just me or is there no webcam software (not driver) on the install disc?

Which webcam software should I use (preferably free?)

stock unit comes with cyberlink youcam... for alternative, you probably can try manycam

Thanks for the help biggrin.gif

1 more question tho, if I start driving from Setia Alam @ 6PM, can I reach the service centre in lowyat before 8:30PM ? ( Arrived IN the shop )

cus my col say maybe cannot reach doh.gif 
p/s: fast driver, but not local so dunno the road, follow GPS only (Sygix)

Which area I shld avoid driving thru ? Really duno anything.. follow GPS blindly.
*
probably hard.... since at that time people will start going back home, the traffic sure loaded...
i'm not sure about alternative way other than using federal highway, but that will sure got traffic jam

- May i know is that possible to create more partitions for new purchased y580 ? is it to shrink the volume from the disk management ?

-how do i know which USB ports are USB 3.0 or 2.0 ?

thank you
*
probably not, since there's already 4 partition on the HDD... for usb 3.0, usually it's denoted by blue port

4gt to mention, I'l just need it for caching/cache drive

u can't use mSATA to cache on y580 since the bios is locked... only mSATA that came fresh with the unit from factory can be used to cache..... that's what i heard
