The fundamental reason to get an SSD is to install your OS in the SSD, else it'll defeat the entire purpose of getting one If you have extra space, you can install your games in it so that loading times would be much faster

Yup, the main reason of getting an SSD is so that applications and loading times will be much faster and more responsive (due to the fast read/write speed). To do this, the OS and applications has to be installed in the SSD. Installing them on a conventional HDD will defeat the entire purpose of getting an SSD

Yeah, that's why people spend a lot of money getting a bigger capacity mSata SSD/SSD

By the way, you won't get 80GB of usable storage actually. You'd just get around 93% out of it (the rest used for backup,etc), so in the end you'd get around 74.4GB. Windows OS usually takes less than 20GB and the rest are for applications. Not sure how many applications do you have installed in your computer

Also bear in mind, modern high graphical games nowadays eat up a lot of space, for example Tera Online/Guild Wars 2 eat up 25GB each while something like Battlefield 3 eats up around 20GB. I'd say, with a 80GB mSata SSD, you can probably install at most, 1 big sized game. I suggest you to go for 128GB mSata SSD instead

One more thing, from what I hear, it's best not to use up all the space in your SSD (where the OS lies in) to ensure a more optimum performance..

Yeah no problem one but best to have all installed in the SSD For me, I'd install the heavy applications in the SSD such as Photoshop CS6, Lightroom 4, Photomatix Pro (all picture editing programs ) and some games into the SSD. If it's filled up already, then would have to put the rest of the programmes into the other HDD. For myself, I'd probably target something like a 180GB/240GB since right now my C drive is already occupying somwhere around 180GB++

good good.. thank for your hard work research running around the lowyat.  \

but im planning to get the Y500, wonder when they will come out

No news yet but coming soon.... stay tune. 
Hope we get suprise for more Y500 variants:
Y500/FHD/i7/GT750m and GT750m sli. 

Any insider leak you gorek from the lowyat resellers?   
New Y400/freedos & Y500/GT750m?

Guys, i have a few questions here.

Are software warranty important? Because if i were to install an intel mSATA ssd, i think it would void my windows warranty according to the salesman today.

How am i going to install my OS into my mSATA if i dont have a backup CD or what so ever? Sorry, i'm a complete newbie.

Just bought the Lenovo ideapad Y400 with the Nvidia Geforce GT 750m a couple of days ago, and it's a beast

Thanks dude  gonna upgrade it's ram to 8 gigs, hope the ultrabay gpu is coming out soon, can't wait for the SLI 

ughhh... you guys really make me jealous! today went to lowyat... Y400 no stock already........ Mr devour oso din reply my PM...  what an unlucky day...

Get help from ur IT friend or nego with reseller to install OS. 
Suggest to get CM u2 or u3 (60~80) to suite ur needs.

I think I'll just go withZ400. About 700 cheaper and suites my needs well I guess.

Only drawback I can see with the U2 cooler is that it cannot move the fans? Not much point getting U2 then. Lol.

Cann Im using it with my y400 too

I think want to play ps2 games on y400....as i already have the pc controller.....

the difference between y400 and y500 will be on the screen size only?

damn nice!! wish i've known this earlier
