ei~ hei guys do any1 know tat~ is it possible to add msata ssd at Y480?? so tat i could switch on laptop and few minutes~

Can. Msata hard to get. Get a ssd better.

hehe im currently at china msata only sell around 600RMB (RM300) 80GB
is it near wlan card there?

Despite the fact the laptop is crazy fast, it’s slow to bootup, the hard drive is like a huge inertia that has to be overcome before the speed and momentum of the other components can take over.

I just changed mine to a ssd sata3 , the laptop spec now can be fully utilize , 18 sec boot-up(with gadgets rdy) and 8sec of shutting down .

lol mine send for warranty already
change mobo & processor
need order from china duno wait until when
sigh...

I bought the GT650 variant last weekend, and let me tell you this puppy is sweet.

One thing to note though, I bought the FreeDOS version and it does come with the driver CD, but OneTouch recovery will NOT work for this laptop.

Also, during first boot, do NOT boot into windows or DOS, but instead go to BIOS immediately because it will give you the Advanced configuration menu. Once you boot into any OS, the Advance configuration menu will disappear. We will need to wait for a modded BIOS hack to access the Advance menu (InsydeH20).

I got a 7.0 score on the Windows experience index, with a 5.9 for disk transfer rate, which kinda sucks, which is why I'm thinking of upgrading to an SSD.

Oh yeah one more thing, if you're planning to buy it make sure you get the PC1600 DDR3 and NOT the PC1333 DDR3. I got "free" RAM upgrade and they gave me the PC1333, and now I have to pay to get a PC1600 to sync with the original

Does anyone of you face problem with its Bluetooth drivers? I couldn't saw it in my Device Manager, and failed to detect my newly bought Bluetooth headset.. :-(

same for this model as well,

any owner here can confirm this? ...they got warranty sticker blocking the changing HDD or not? does upgrade to SSD on ur own void warranty due to the warranty sticker? I scared touching things that void warranty lol

have any of you get the ambient light sensor working?

I just got one like urs too. Kind of adjusting myself to it.

The default 4gb ram is PC1600 DDR3 or PC1333 DDR3? I added a 4gb Apacer ram which is supposed to be PC1333 DDR3 without prior knowledge of the existence of PC1600.

Besides that, is ur lcd plain brushed metal design


or

with those lines and boxes style with orange edge?

Yup , change to SSD and use HDD caddy bay to gain high speed in booting , opening program and etc .

The default RAM is PC1600 DDR3 it is labelled PC12800 on the RAM module itself (i.e. high performance RAM). If you got an additional 4 gb PC1333, then just download CPU-Z and see if that Apacer module will run on the same timing as the PC1600, if not, then get one that will.

I got the one with the styles and orange edge, it's the Nvidia GT650M model. Yours is probably the GT640LE. No offense bro, but the benchmark performance difference between those 2 cards are quite big (around 40%).
