Y580 is bigger than Y480, should be better in heat control. Many of us are using Y480, and yet the heat issue is minor so far, and quite a lot of us will be buying a special caddy to move the hdd to the dvd drive bay, when this is done, the heat issue on the hdd will be gone.

just don't stress the graphic too hard, then it'll be OK...

Any recommended seller for Lenovo Y580?

nope, as I know Y580 is LIMITED edition

haha, there are many, below are just part of it, check them in details, some even provide free delivery without down payment):

Found one that costs only RM3117. With FullHD 8GB ram 1TB HDD

Link pls, blueray?

yeah wow! this price is very low. please list the specs here and the link...

3117?! i got it at 3599 ==

The new processor i7-3630QM only offers 100MHz more in base clock and 100MHz more in turbo boost. Not sure about the TDP yet but it'll be mostly the same. Frankly speaking, if all things equal (believe its the same chip, just clock higher), I'd rather have a cool and efficient chip.

Nope. On my Y580, 1 hour of MW3 gaming the GTX 660M GPU only recorded max temperature of 68 Deg C while the CPU recorded max temperature of 67-70 Deg C. No cooler but in air conditioned room set to ambient 20 Deg C.

hi all, any idea if y480's motherboard and the i7-3610QM can support 16 GB of RAM? and if they can, has anyone tried that?

no issue running 16gb
i7-3610QM can support up to 32gb

no idea , you try first.. do you need that much...i ady use 8gb and my usage never exceed 4gb even in graphic intense game...i rarely use photoshop

How to check whether it is FHD?

I have a feeling that mine isn't FHD

I've read that. Is there any other way to check besides:
Desktop > Screen Resolution

I threw the box already

And mine shows its 1366x768 ( Recommended)

no box & documents? then look at the label at the bottom of your unit (480 or 580??), what is the Model No.? my y480 is 20131. maybe you can check on Lenovo using this model no.

The box I threw already but what documents are you talking about?
Its Y580. Model name 20132.
How to check on Lenovo? On their website?

hmm... honestly i'm not sure. i found this with 20132:

http://www.kwcheah.com/2012/08/17/lenovo-y580-review/

inside my box, there is a piece of packing list, that describes the components of the unit, it will tell whether your display is hd or fhd LED.

maybe you'll have to use your serial no. to check on Lenovo, or ask your seller.

another possiblity is the display card driver - is it the correct one installed? or is your y580 came with the windows pre-installed?

I'm not sure what packing list is that.
I only have some setup poster, limited warranty booklet, safety and general information guide.

Display card driver? How to check?
Yes the windows is pre-installed.

I'm pretty sure the seller said its FHD.
