you can buy from me.

Hi,

What is market price for Lenovo Y400 now ?

Thanks...

RRP is RM2799.

Latest Y500@3799 come with same spec and extra 120W AC adapter . Not with extra swappable ODD.
Refer to post#1 for updated details.

There are some buyers bought the latest Y500(59-364676) with dummy plastic in ultrabay & 120W AC adapter in the box, but some reseller didn't give them the ultrabay gpu and 170W AC adapter.

So, remember to check carefully before you pay.

Here the pic for ultrabay gpu & 170W AC adapter.

I heard that the long due y500 adaptor has arrived at distributor warehouse(one of the many lenovo local distributors) already, so for those who still hasn't got your while you purchased it earlier, time to check with your reseller.. cheers!

Oh GOD
thatx bad
=(

I'm considering the Y500 now, 1 question the ultrabay I can add additional harddisk? Eg, SSD?

Can, but can use those provided by Lenovo itself only.

Which means I buy the bay or its a bay+SSD thingy? Similar to the ThinkPad's?

Side note as well, what SATA interface does it use? SATA3 or SATA2?

In Y500 already have SSD Slot in the laptop no need to put the SSD in Ultra Bay

You can buy the mSATA SSD and insert in mSATA slot. Else you can buy normal SSD and swap with HDD, get Lenovo HDD ultrabay for HDD but quite costly. Its cheaper to use it as external HDD.

Beware the normal HDD caddy bay can not fit in the Y400/Y500 due to its design and ports.

The ultrabay optional accessories are not available in the local market currently. Wonder they will bring in the ultrabay accessories.

You can refer to ultrabay accessories selling at US Lenovo for more details.

Here the pics for ultrabay accessories.

mSATA you mean?

USD189, man I could use that to beef up the budget to buy a bigger SSD instead!

Btw, for those with the new SLI Y500, it only runs on SLI when you are using the 170W adapter? My main reason of purchasing a Y500 is mainly due to the looks + its a quad i7 and 1920x1080 display hehehe...

Seems like USD 189 Removable HDD comes with 750GB of HDD that explains the price.

That is overpriced for a 750gb hdd

yes it is, very overpriced.

This is where they make their money lol.

Y500 with dual gpus(gt650m SLI) is overkill since you are not into gaming.
Latest Y500 bundle with both 120w & 170w psu. You can bring the 120w psu when you need mobility. Swap in the ultrabay gpu and use 170w psu when you need the extra gpu performance.

If you want i7 , full HD laptop and don't mind the overkill gtx660m. Better get the cheaper Y580@2999 with gtx660m and longer battery life. Use the remaining budget to buy SSD and swap it with HDD, get a much cheaper HDD caddy bay and swap it with ODD. use the ODD as external drive. If you wish to retain the ODD, then get the mSATA SSD for mSATA slot.

i have gone through the various blogs and found that y500 has the touch-pad issues.any of you guys are facing same problem?

heat wise Y580
option 1 = SSD in HDD original location, HDD swap to ODD or
option 2 = mSata SSD install slot, HDD swap to ODD, leave the original HDD slot empty
which one better?
any real life sifu implement this, what is the degree celcious improve
TQ

i never face any touchpad prob in y500. but i send for warranty 1 or 2 unit some problem with GPU i think.
otherwise ok.
