dual graphics capabilities mean that theres 2 graphic cards in it??

Maybe
As now currently GT650M cannot do SLI, so hope that GT655M can do SLI...

to be precise, graphics switching like nvidia optimus.

Not really fond to slim gaming laptop.

Just copy from notebookreview.com:
"This piece of news should interest some people. As far as I know the new Y400 and Y500 are not going to replace the Y480 and Y580, but they will certainly be close in specs and potentially more capable in performance as they have an UltraBay (like ThinkPads offer) that allows for either a DVD Burner, Blu-Ray or another graphics card that can be paired with the Nvidia 650M / 655M the Y400 and Y500 will be equipped with.

No matter is optimus or SLI, both ways are good as we can DIY the notebook GPU.

If its optimus, than we can swap in any available discrete GPU in ultrabay. It save the cost of future GPU upgrading.
If its SLI, than it may bottleneck by the on board discrete GPU for future upgrade to more powerfull GPU.

Let hope that performance of ultrabay GPU are close to on board discrete gpu and Lenovo didnn't patent the ultrabay idea so that DIY notebook GPU can go to mainstream.

Not if the gpu is soldered to the board.

Yes, since we can add a discrete GPU in ultrabay no matters the on board GPU is HD4000 or discrete GPU.

it all depends on how Lenovo is gonna price the laptop and the dock...

Sony and Fujitsu have already tested water with similar concept, and they never take off...

interesting....

DVD take away?! good!

the design of this laptop definitely looks nice and slim...really like to hav a look at the carbon fibre pattern cover of the laptop...

HDD bay that users can swap out for dual graphics chips

Shall laptop manufacturer produce laptop with screen resolution higher than 1366x768 in 14"?

At that resolution, slim laptops seems not look nice.

definitely, i simply can't use 1366x768... too unproductive D:

at least should be 1600X900 if not 1080p...

without OBD.. seems like y480/580 slim version

I just wonder why lenovo cannot just come out with some different design on different series even on the out look of these new comer also look same to y480/y580... just the colour different... lol

Alienware the same, no?

Yes indeed.. all the same.. but i thin alienware even worse... all generation is the same only the spec different. hopefully can see some changes from these money making company

i guess no need to pening kepala with designs, just focus on specs & performance all the way
