can anyone with Lenovo Y500 try out the warranty extend & accidental damage protection from their website. Cause they need serial code to know the price.

its good for us know how much it will cost if we would want to extend or add protection to this notebook.

Y500 & Y400 ultrabay support both PCIe and SATA as per the pic below. External gpu connected to PCIe port and ODD connected to SATA port.

What Jabberwocky posted was more like a confirmation for Malaysia context Good job Jabberwocky (if I remember correctly he mentioned this is the 1st time he run benchmark suite) and the rest And thanks ytlay 
The 1st post of this thread already listed a few benchmark done in China (same GT650M SLI).
In short, benchmark indicate it is about GT670M level, under GT670MX. Of course benchmark can only tell you so much, with the normal caveat that come with SLI setup (in this case apparently through SATA rather than PCIe).

Can the owner of y500 here do me a favour, plz check if the wireless network adapter in your laptop is Atheros or Broadcom.
Thanks.

Ouch I'm at work right now and I keep my darling back home 
If you can wait I can check it for ya after I went back home, or better still if there are any other y500 owners that can do you a favour 

qualcom atheros AR9485wb-eg
but i face a problem weak wifi signal strength within it mybe bcoz running on wind 8.

If it is Atheros, the wifi signal should be a lot stronger than Broadcom brand.
Perhaps driver problem?
