Until now still no further news released from Lenovo regarding this Y400/Y500.
Undecide between Y500 and Y580, such a headache for me

But then heat issue will rise..

take y580 only la...

if the new y500 is not as good as y580 den regret like sh*t
dun knw whether lenovo will continue to sell such a worthy labtop o not nia
i am in dilema oso

Externally. An eGPU solution.
No cooling problems and very upgradeable.

ya lar...y580 good enough already...

Some people need more.............

But then it will not become portable anymore... How do you supposed to put all the stuff including the bulky PSU for the eGPU into your laptop backpack?
In the end, desktop is the choice if portability is not the main concern.

Y500/Y400 will be priced higher than Y580/Y480 except for the low end versions. (Lenovo is still trying to reduce the cost though.)
Additionally, Y400 only has 1366x768 screen res, which is not good. (The screen should be at least 1600x900)

I hope for the best.

Ideapad Y500/Y400 will be available in Nov 2012 according to Lenovo insider in China.

Y500 thermal design look promising in cooling of GT650M in SLI.
- Dual GT650M with separate heatsink/ fans and large ventilation area look promising.
- Repositioning of HDD will improve its cooling compare to Y580/Y480.

The back cover of Y500/Y400 can be completely removed for dust cleaning.

A question here, since the y400/y500 come with build in gt650m, even it is sli, only can pair with gt650m right?
No higher gpu like gtx670m or gtx680m?

yes, only a gt 650m and another gt 650m can work togheter in SLI mode. Cannot add higher end cards and lower cards

guys!!
how much thinner y400/y500 compare to its corresponding previous version y480/y580

no one knows

those weight still no change i thought, but look more thinner than previous model i guessed
i hope will be available in malaysia on nov.

According to Lenovo reseller in China HERE.
- Y500: FHD for highest specs model only, optional ultrabay GPU, backlit keyboard, ETA around mid Dec.
- Y400: no option for ultrabay GPU, no FHD, with backlit keyboard, price around Y480 and ETA around mid Nov.

Swappable ulltrabay GT655M(2GB,35W) & 170W PSU for Y500 rsp CNY1299 (around RM635), very tempting ahhh.

it's 1999(rm900++)

Doubt y400/500 will release in November as scheduled.
Still no further news from Lenovo.

I hope so..

Lenovo giving a hard time for customers? But I'm sure it's worth waiting.

it's better they release it a bit late rather than releasing it early n not meeting any of our expectations. be patient. with windows 8 official launching, i believe they're still tweaking it for compability.
