I got something need to ask...
Y480 can install mSATA SSD right?
the slot is behind the wireless card there right?
*
I think mSATA much more sxpensive than SSD rite?

Y don't change to SSD since SSD will give much faster than mSATA + HDD

mSATA price (Mushkin):

hi, i know heat will harm the HDD, but if we put an SSD there, wont the heat harm the SSD too?

hmm.gif

actually the heat is come from HDD as well... thats y ppl put SSD in the middle and move HDD to ODD port... which is opposite part of the GPU/CPU.

CPU heat + GPU heat + HDD heat -> make the left and middle of the board hot...

CPU heat + GPU heat -> make the same area less hot & HDD heat will heat a bit the board on the right side... smile.gif

64GB only RM255?!
I think I need to save and earn some money for SSD and HDD candy bay jor.... lol

yup... thats y topup a bit and change to SSD... If want to use mSATA better get bundling with the notebook... but after checked all notebook price, its either the price for notebook to high (since high-end) or specs of the GPU/CPU is less than Y480...

I prefer CPU & GPU performance rather than the mSATA since I could save money to upgrade SSD straight instead using mSATA.. smile.gif

not sure since the bd-drive provided cannot burn blu-ray disc
MSE tu microsoft security essentials, free antivirus from microsoft.. been using it since beta days.. smile.gif
as for gc, i'll check later, probably will use other stuff to test/monitor it


Added on August 25, 2012, 1:30 am
Yep, since it will make backup based on default factory settings... The reason we need to make recovery disc is because microsoft didn't provide us with win 7 oem disc nowadays. So, if anything happen & u need to format, just recover it using the disc.

Yup... I've also been using mse... Speedier bootup compared when my pc/notebook installed with other antivirus...

Hi all, attached are my 2 sticks used in my Y480.

My questions:

The timing for the Samsung 1600 stick is 11-11-F3 right? and the Team Elite 1333 is 9-9-9-24. Can they work well with different speed and CL?
How do optimize this pair, without changing any of them? I try not to sell and buy again if possible.
*
It will work just fine... but the samsung stick will be downclock as 1333

hi thx. I understand 9-9-9-24 (Team Elite 1333), but what is 11-11-F3 (this is on Samsung 1600 4gb stick)? i guess not only the 1600 MHz will dg to 1333, the Team Elite's CL will be dragged to 11 right?
*
yup... thats y most of the brand will sell the RAM in two stick to make it fully compatible and give the best performance on dual channel... smile.gif

I got an answer from Lenovo regarding WARRANTY issue....
For those bought 1st batch(Free Lenovo P890 headphone) entitled 1 year limited international warranty..
While 2nd batch(NO free headphone) entitled 2 years limited international warranty..

For 1st year warranty is from Direct Lenovo Service warranty, means the laptop will sent back to Lenovo for warranty...
For 2nd year warranty is like DELL On-Site Service warranty.....
While checking at Lenovo official website, our laptops have 1 Year warranty because it's the Direct Lenovo Service warranty

ru sure? as far as I know 1 year warranty is for the GT640 LE and 2 years for GT650M and both warranty send-in to service center... only the upgrade 3 years is on-site... hmm.gif
