Added on August 10, 2012, 9:32 pmyup..2.... just finish install my y480... I like the feel of the keyboard when typing... only not used to the location of the key... the layout a bit different...

Although just installed I sense a bit warm at the palm rest ( at the i7 & gt650 sticker area)... hasn't look at the bottom.. is it where the hdd located?...

Now searching for SSD and change ram to corsair vengeance 8gb... anyone have the link to the ssd tray at odd... can share the link...want to get it... as planning to move the hdd to odd and replace hdd with ssd... smile.gif

must buy both same type of ram to avoid ram throttling.  or else u cant max out 1600mhz optimum speed.

Kingston 4GB DDR3-12800 SODIMM RAM seems like is compatible with the default one la, seems like can be synthesis to same CAS Latency after comparing(but I still no buy la)
That Corsair one must be two same RAM to synthesis to same CAS Latency...
