I only have 4Gig but gaming experience for me its the best so far, it meets my requirement therefore I won't upgrade to 8Gig. Too be honest I prefer the overall feeling of the y500 than playing on my friend's Razer Blade, call me weird but its true.

My palm doesn't feel much heat (Blade have a focus heat spot, which annoys me) and jumping from keys to keys is pretty at ease (hardly pushed the wrong key)

I brought my machine to chill out at a nearby Starbucks, last about 2 hrs 45 mins with continuous gaming (DOTA2, GW2 in max setting, battery 'high performance' profile.

and 1 more thing, it make head turns! 

Good to know that you are enjoying your notebook man~
And thanks for the reviews   

People are attracted by the cool backlit keyboard i guess.

Btw, what is the colour of the backlight of the keyboard?
Is it red backlight?

Yes it is the irresistible Red colour

i have 12gb of ram..it's worth for me especially when running multi apps together

I guess most people here are not willing to spend on Blu-rays kua 

but how is it if you compare it with macbook keyboard?

I will still pick the y500. 

Although both y500 and mac keyboards looks the same, the reason is because y500 keys are curved into the middle (if you look carefully at the pics) that fits in perfectly to your fingers during compression while mac keys are flat so it kinda feel a bit rigid and dull. 

Since Y500 utilise ultrabay, it means owner could easily buy a ultrabay Bluray from Lenovo and swap in later when you have more money
