Someone in garage sales is selling Y500 with single card GT750m from RM28xx. Probably is the default spec of the upcoming new Y500 as below.
Y500, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT750M(GDDR5) + 1920x1080, 4GB, 500GB, 120W psu, swappable ODD, W8, red backlit, 2 yrs warranty

You can easily upgrade 500GB to 1TB or swap it with the reseller.

This is the best bang for the buck for tight budget gamers with performance better than GTX660m and featuring cool red backlit, extra mSATA slot, optional swappable gpu(GT750m)/HDD/fan and easy maintenance.

Yeap, Z500/GT740m@2299, Z500T/touch screen/GT740m@2499

price is rsp & negotiable.
refer post#1 for updates.

Y500 with GT750m is coming very very soon according to Lenovo Premium reseller storm88

Y500 also come in two variants GT750m and GT750m sli according to him.

If u are gaming, the better choice is Y400/ GT750m/ freeDOS selling around RM23xx with better performance, cooling, cool red backlit, extra mSATA slot, easy maintenance, optional extra swappable graphic card(GT750m), HDD, fans.

When is the ETA? next week?

Both Z400 & Z500 with backlt keyboard.

Both Y400 & Y500 come with extra mSATA slot.

nope, but some resellers at garage sales already accepting pre-order.
My guess is around the corner probably in coming week.

upcoming Y500 no freeDOS variant as far as we know.
Only 3 variants of Y500 as provided by storm88

Which models are u comparing?
Refer to post#1 for more info.

swappable ODD = swappable optical disk drive (DVDRW)
Y400/Y500 are featuring optional swappable graphic card/ ODD/ HDD/ fan as stated in post#1.

u need to get 170W adapter also.

refer post#1 for more details & get it at garage sales.
Y400 Removable Graphics GN35(GT650m) RM580
IdeaPad 170W AC Adapter (CE) RM229

Graphic GN35 only can use for old Y400 with GT650m. It cannot use for new Y400 with GT750m.

Compare to Y400, Y500 has bigger and better full HD screen, better cooling and GT750m Sli option. If u wish to game on FHD, better get GT750m sli variant with much better performance.

There won't be any major cpu performance gain for Haswell platform except intel igpu. Its not worth for the price increase on Y410/Y510 without any significant gain in performance since optimus is disabled.

u can install windows & software in mSATA SSD.

Z400 battery is replaceable.

If u wish to sli later and have tight budget, Y500 basic model is a better choice with better cooling & sli option. Later if u have extra budget & need performance boost, add in 170w adapter and second swappable gpu (swap it with swappable ODD).

I wonder Lenovo will launch second swappable gpu(GT750m) for Y400, since no where to be seen till todate.
I won't think is a good idea to do sli gaming on 14" Y400 just imagin the heat generated by i7 & dual gpus.

GT750m sli performance according to notebookcheck early reviews quoted below:
http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForc...LI.91280.0.html
"Depending on clock speed and memory configuration, the GT 750M SLI performs similar to a single GeForce GTX 675MX. Depending on the game, there can be big differences here, depending on how well SLI scales in a particular case. Overall, most current games (as of 2013) can be played fluently in 1080p and (very) high settings."

Bro, pls remove and post it at garage sales.
Here is not the sales thread.

huuu, grey imported set from US (AP set )...

Most probably no, since swappable GT750m for Y400 still no where to be seen till todate. According to trustworthy reseller in China, there won't be any of it for Y400 and its only available for Y500.
imo, its not advisable to do sli gaming on 14" Y400 due to heat generated by i7 & dual gpus.
