Waaa quite a buy oo! Congratz congratz!

mine same as urs, except dun have SSD but have SLI... total rm3889 including bag...

Why do u ask?

According to my friends and some posts in forums, they say it's better to remove battery when plug-in adapter because if not, battery life-span will be shorten.. well, that's what they say, but still i'm not so sure about it..

For me, i just kept the battery there while the adapter is plugged-in...

Lol no money at the moment... all used up to buy this lappy

But really wor bro, if i dont remove battery is ok also right?

It's a hassle to remove battery everytime i wanna use it..

Same here bro.. except is not getting dimmer overall, only a few keys getting dimmer..... especially around the center part of keyboard (from "F" to "J" letters, and "Y" to B")

Ooo i see.. Well, honestly, most of my gaming life is on a desktop pc with WinXP OS (for 7 years dy on this gaming rig)... i never had laptops before so this is my new one ><

well, i had little experience using win7 from my fren's lappy, but after getting my new lappy with a brand new win8, i find it quite user-friendly.. i'm kind of used to it now

it took me, let's say, around a week to get used to.. now's my 3rd-4th week of owning this laptop.. so i'm used to typing on this lappy already (before use desktop pc keyboard only)

But what i'm trying to say is that, windows 8 is actually quite simple to use.. win7 user should find no prob getting a hang of this new OS..

i thought the new y410p suppose to have 1600x900 reso?

I'm too lazy to quote since I have the same reply to most of the recent comments here:

People buy y500 because most of them use it for gaming (SLI! DUH!)
So those who buy y500, knowing that it has SLI but still want Nvidia Optimus, stop complain about regretting ur purchase... If u don't like the absence of Optimus, why did u buy y500 in the 1st place? U already know the risks of SLI right?

If u really wanted Optimus function and SLI as well, then sell ur y400/y500 and buy the new y410/y510 series..

Well i'm not actually referring to u lol bro~ Just about y500... not specifically u

Hurm, that's weird ooo.. y400 still no have stock for extra-gpu? It's been a month oredy, i think... and what u say is agreeable as well.. no point have SLI ready machine but no ex-GC for SLI...

Well urm... I read on forums that SLI if enable Optimus has some software conflicting.. can cause system instability.. laptop will lag, stutter, etc.. but that's just what they say, not confirmed by nvidia admins

well, this is for EVERYONE.. FYI, y410/y510 have SLI and Optimus, but can only use 1 function at a time. Means that if u plug-in extra GC and go SLI mode, ur Optimus is disabled.. If u remove extra GC and disable SLI (mean only use onboard GC), then Optimus is enabled automatically... All in all, there is still no way for SLI and Optimus to run at the same time for the moment.....

What @raymondtong94 said is true... lenovo simply disabled it.. but i read from some other forum that there is a possibility to enable optimus without SLI by tweaking with the BIOS or something.. i'm not sure.. i read it about a month ago.. only prob is that enabling it will cause some problem with the lappy like official lenovo probs, onekey probs (i'm not sure about this tho... i think is mentioned), and also warranty probs....

Btw, i always wanted to ask.. y400 if max charge how long does battery last? My y500 lasts for 4hours 20 mins...

Lol, 4h30m for documents and such only? I played Dota 1 and Sniper Elite V2 on my fully charge lappy (Balanced power plan, Maximize battery life) can stand to 4h.... if movies and others will last 4h30m.....

Thanks for the info bro!

Btw, how do i discharge my laptop battery? I mean, there's 2 way I can discharge it.. Play it without adapter until battery reach 30% or so, or do I use the Lenovo Energy Management Tool? Coz that software also provide battery discharge service..

Which is more safer for my battery life?

Owh i see.. thanks a lot for the info!

Just wanna ask to all owners of y400/y500/y410 with Nvidia Geforce GT750M, did u guys updated ur graphics driver? I can't seem to find any drivers for my GC from Nvidia's official website, as well as from using Geforce Experience.. The driver version I currently have is 311.27...

avoid 320.18 drivers? Why? is it bad for gt700M series?

oh yeah... thru the lenovo website, which tab should i download from? The video ones?

what driver version is that?

hurmm i'll try from the lenovo main site 1st... if still same version, i will try the beta one

Sorry for spamming~

I tried installing the driver from the red link, turns out it's the same as what i currently have.. version 311.27..

I want to try 320.14 beta, but can anybody else confirm if this is ok or not for GT750M? I'm worried it will mess up my lappy

Actually this is not the thread to post about that matter bro. However, I recommend to order from @Devour... Very good reseller! (Bought mine from him myself )

U can also pm him thru fb: @Frixfox Solutions

Ya i'm still using same driver, and NO! There's no problem with this driver

But as u know, I just want to update to new driver to improve performance on my games, especially Skyrim. It ran pretty well at first, but after installing around 70+ mods, the performance was just, urm..... yeah u know how it is

And as u can see, there are new drivers for GT740M already, but GT750M still has no new drivers...
