Confirmed legit??

So TEMPTING.

lenovo inform me that there is no FIRM information on these model. however, they do mention that some reseller already import these model from oversea.

just be careful before buying.

Sorry just a question here, is GN36 stated here equals to 655M 2Gb?

i think it's the external gt650m ultrabay.

but what gn175546 is offering is 655M not 650M for the external.

be careful then... better wait for lenovo official announcement.

me waiting for more variant n review about gaming performance n heat dissipation.

nice laptop...i will bring it from US with such lower price soon...:-D

Anyone found any benchmarks/reviews on the web regarding the GPU? I really can't wait to see the 3DMark11 benchmarks.

Not sure whether it's the one :

But it does stated SLI enabled.

Thank you for the link. Can anyone else approve this?
If it is true, AWESOME!

hi,just wan to check with you...is 170w ac adapter for thinkpad w520 can work/use in y500 also?As we know Y500 with external graphic required for 170w ac adapter)..BUT here the problem come, i did an order for a y500 with external graphic,but the supplies told me that the ac adapter is out for stock now=.=so will only deliver to me the Y500+external graphic but without the ac adapter!!!The problem is, i m going oversea for study soon (in 2 week time)seem like dun have much time wait for that ac adapter available,if ac adapter for w520 work in y500 as well,i would just buy it.some 1 please check for me!!

u order from who? do they giv any refund/discount without the adapter?

as long as the watt remain the same, shud be no problem. however, if anything happen, it might void ur warranty.

from my fren which selling this ,ya ,they got offer the ac adapter to me,but out of stock,and he told me will send to me later on,but the most i can only wait for 2 week,if not have to buy ac adpater for w520 for myself{it cost 300+}.btw,the watt the same,and ac adapter for w520 also for ultrabay

what a good thing about this laptop compare to y580? izzit their graphic card or price?

Both.
Where can you get a laptop with a performance of a GT675M(looking at the 3DMark11 results) that cost only RM3799?
That's about RM800 differences, which is only 27% more expensive for an increased of 70 to 80 percent gaming performance.
Some more, that price were told to include extra 170w adapter.
Most importantly is that you don't have to sacrifice the weight when you want to take it out outside to work or school by taking out the extra GPU and use back the default 120w adapter(same as the Y580).
They both(Y580 vs Y500) weight about the same on stock(without the extra GPU).

I would recommend those looking for a cheap gaming laptop to wait for the release.
Also, if possible, wait until there's a review of it, just to make sure there's no issue with this laptop.

Good one there bro
