just leave it empty.. it's not required to fill in that

Just receive the reply... apparently the 1 year warranty is the base warranty & the 2 years is the upgrade.... they asked for my invoice btw as somehow my y580 haven't registered in their system

1st thing you should do is to make factory recovery disc using one-key recovery
as for stuff to uninstall, i uninstall some lenovo stuff, like powerdvd... make sure you don't uninstall energy management and one-key recovery
i also uninstalled chrome, mcafee & office 2010 starter, replacing them with mse & office 2013 preview
try to update both intel hd and nvidia driver, windows update should take care of intel hd and as for nvidia, we prefer to use latest beta driver compared to stock driver

iinm there's mSATA port in y580m but not sure whether it's SATA II or III...
and someone said that lenovo bios is blocking mSATA cache unless it came with the system

probably in between hdd & odd?? there's empty space at that spot.... i'm not sure since i never saw mSATA port before

1 year base warranty & 1 year upgrade... basically 2 years warranty....
email them at asean@lenovoreg.com stating that your warranty somehow is only 1 year... attach also your screenshot of the warranty status that shows 1 year warranty

try revert to older version driver like 305.xx

4gb corsair vengence and the stock 4gb ram has different latency.....
not sure there'll be compatibility issues (dun know much bout ram latency) but as long as you stick to that combination, iinm it is just same as you using 2x stock ram

try ask others about the ram... couldn't help you much about it

as for me, why bother upgrade if later just downgrade the vengence potential.... just my 2 cent

then, just customize your nvidia control panel to force running program using nvidia gfx.... or just right click on that program and choose run with graphics processor -> nvidia
the purpose of optimus is to save battery when normal usage (internet surfing etc)

haha... yeah... playing solitaire using nvidia is much more waste imo...

what do you mean by RAM not original? stock RAM for y580 is from samsung

that's why most of us use hdd caddy... all stuff sumbat in hdd, freeing space in ssd

welcome
u made backup based on factory or current system?

oh... mine was 4 dvd

looks nice.... thinking of ordering from you..... sadly i'm not in malaysia starting next month

how to check the screen made on when?

depends on whether you want a larger screen or not... want a lighter laptop to carry around
as for gfx comparison, actually gtx660m and gt650m are not that much different... besides, not many current games can play at ultra setting smoothly on gtx660m

about ssd, it should be either m4 or intel 330... eventhough intel 330 use sandforce controller, it should be ok as intel ssd firmware is great

are you hosting a wireless access point or something? if not, then i think you can disable the virtual wifi as it splits the bandwith
