OK found the problem.
Lenovo Y users kindly take note not to use nvidia 295.93 drivers on the lenovo CD. It disables graphics switching. Use the one on Lenovo website (295.5x)

enable switching graphics in BIOS
install nvidia drivers (but NOT 295.93 on the Lenovo CD)
GO to nvidia control settings and set global setting to run high performance nvidia
go to energy managment and set to max (the rocket)
NOTE: this will suck the battery.

Njoy! Really kick ass. Can run ultra settings in Battlefield 3 with no lag and no throttle.

y480 cheaper but no fhd,but can get ssd with the cheaper price..
y580 alot more expensive,plus got a blu ray which i definitely will not use but theres fhd..
sweat.gif duno how to choose... rclxub.gif
But looking at how things are,probably will go for the cheaper y480+ssd.
Its confirmed by lenovo malaysia in their fb page that they will release y580 fhd around mid july..

OC to gtx 660 speed with MSI Afterburner. (Core 975. mem 1300) GPUz shows new speeds but on load, the max core clock speed is not responding to Afterburner - max speed still stock 885mhz. only can OC memory speed hmm.gif
Maybe msi only support forceware ver 296. Anyway, no 296 version from Lenovo yet. Anyone manage to OC core speed with Afterburner?
Kinda waste if not overclock core as the GT650 with DDR3 version (eg clevo) all run at stock GTX 660 speed anyway.
However, the memory speed is really overclockable...

guys I have a problem:

I installed windows 7 on my laptop and when everything is done, reverted back to HDD boot device priority. All it loads is the initial lenovo startscreen, then it went blank with a blinking underscore, and everything repeats itself ad infinitum. what could be the issue?

Things I've done:

-multiple OS reinstall = not CD install issue
-swap hard drive with friends laptop = both HDD intact
+My HDD can boot his laptop
+his HDD can boot my laptop

the the issue is:
my HDD can't boot my laptop

WHYYYYYYYY?

Use one-key recovery to create restoration disk and restore to SSD.

you can get it cheaper from people here. make sure only to buy from trusted sellers.
Also remember the memory is 1600mhz, not 1333mhz
