Sg price for this machine = 1499 $ dollar
My price could be like this = RM 3597.6 rounded to the normal price = RM 3599 sithout FHD

damn!!!
*
According to leaked information, we should get the same machine for RM 3299 wihout FHD. It's still uncertain if the FHD option will be available in MY.

Yes, the difference is extremely tangible unfortunately sad.gif
Well, you can still consider the MSI GE60 and Asus G55vw, even though their more expensive...
Otherwise, just get this, and pair it up with a good external monitor~
The GPU in this beast is quite capable  thumbup.gif

15" notebooks usually only last around 2.5 hours with a 6-cell battery hmm.gif
The Y580 doesn't have Nvidia Optimus right?  hmm.gif
*
The Y580 should have optimus... and also from theverge it's supposed to give up to 5 hours of battery life... the figure seems to be different for deepcool here.

Your right picture's driver version seem to be newer than your left picture. Are you certain.... left is after update?

That seems to be the only drawback,well then do you think it's a good idea to flood the Lenovo MY facebook page with FHD variant request? hmm.gif

They have contradicting replies. Initially said that there will be no Full HD, then say there will be one. Now they are unsure if Lenovo Malaysia will offer it.

i wonder why the price are so cheap? 2day i walk in lowyat plaza surveying this laptop they sell for 2900 only, very tempting but i dont want to make a mistake like last time i buy lenovo y570 that come with gt555m, later then i research that y570 gt555m are the gimped and cripple version and also i just know that gt555m have many version, also i just look at the review for y580 graphic performance score for WEI is 7.1 but asus g55vw score are 7.3, maybe many people said that WEI are rubbish but i dont think so, i have already use asus g73jh that use ATI 5870 (WEI = 7.3) (way better then 192bit gtx 560m) and asus g53jw that use gtx 460m (WEI = 7.1) the performance are totally different, so can anyone here comment anything about y580?are this laptop come with cripple gtx660m? bcoz if really used gimped version there is no point buying it for gaming
*
So far there's no report that the GPU is gimped. If there is it would be discovered immediately.

so can any one explain i already see a picture that state y580 core speed clock around 400mhz +/- sumthing ( i dont remember where i see it) but on notebokcheck they state the gtx660m come with 800mhz sumthing for core speed, can any one comment on this?

Driver issue. Deepcool once showed two screenshots of two drivers. You can search it through this thread.

just realized ur GTX660M clock speed is so high! O.O

my 670M just 598MHz (core clock) and 750MHz (memory clock)

why?
*
Because 660M is Kepler and 670M is Fermi....

true oso lar... but just feels something not right.

have to do more research on kepler architecture when i'm free.
*
The key is that you can't really compare two different architectures just on core clock speed... in that case we could easily compare AMD and Nvidia just by the core speed, which would generally be different because of how scarce components can be placed in the die. What Nvidia has removed from the Fermi has to be compensated by something in the Kepler architecture, so it's no big deal if the clock speed increases, but the result of the entire die does not beat the 670M. Again Kepler is a focus on efficiency and a slight improvement on performance, in short a give and take. Having best of both world is what we called the ideal GPU.

If you want to compare clock speed, you need to make sure other things like architecture are constants in the discussion subject.

can anybody tell me about the importance of full HD? because most 15" are still equip with normal 1366x768 screen

It's more like a matter of preference. Personally, I need the extra resolution workspace and portability.

i just saw this msata 120G at rm66x and i think is worth a try change to ssd.
of course moving ori hdd to optical drive is one option as deepcool did.
so lenovo official still no stock and those selling now at forum is impotered?

I'm wondering too.. personally I'm waiting for at least a FHD...

Lenovo Malaysia Hi guys! Great news, the Lenovo Y580 Full HD with 1920x1080 resolution will be coming to Malaysia! However we cannot at this point confirm an exact date of release, it should be sometime in July! Please stay tuned for more updates on this, and thank you for being so patient so far smile.gif

From Lenovo Malaysia FB page. smile.gif

I must be blind.. but I cannot find the mentioned statement on Lenovo's Malaysia FB page..

seriously,what is the ap set everyone is talking about?whats the difference?
Also,why wana bulk when lenovo malaysia already have plans to bring in fhd y580? sweat.gif

got seller offer me an option to extend y480 warranty from 2 years to 3 years..onsite/carry in..
*
Cuz there are different configurations available at different countries. This is not just Lenovo actually, other brands too.

It means the seller imported the laptop from another country and sell it locally. In other words, it's not from the official Lenovo Malaysia distributor. Thus, AP set.

Not really long, probably less than 2 weeks  hmm.gif

By the way, does Lenovo Y580 comes with any integrated graphic card?

Such as switchable graphic option as I have try to Google around but didn't found any article mention about it.

Something like Intel GMA 4000? (for longer battery)
*
It comes with Optimus Technology (Switching GPU) and Intel HD4000
