I don't think the website drivers are exactly the same. I downloaded all the Y480 drivers for a total of 1.2GB but the Lenovo driver CD has more than 3.5GB on it.

If anyone dun have the driver CD better get a new one from the seller quick.

Anyone having problems with games or nvidia drivers? Battlefield3 seem to have problems with fullscreen, witcher 2 can't get past the loading screen, deux ex will freezea few seconds when i face a new direction/new area, etcetra. Not terribly nice mobile gaming experience so far.. think I regret ditching my desktop already. sad.gif

Wonder if anyone wanna start a gaming forum for Y480/580?

Haven't figured out about the One-key rescue and one-key theatre but the mute button is working.

Your boot time is awesome notworthy.gif , notice any other significant improvement when using SSD?

I plan to get a SSD soon as well, since I've already move my HDD to DVD rom slot
