Now still no any info released?
It is mid of October btw ady

I guess most ppl would go for the dual graphics card ....

I was waiting the GT655M news....lolol
NVIDIA still no any news on it, and Lenovo website there already put

OMG !? PRICE??? *drool*

Then my guess would be the same day of the Win8 release...

Fuuuuuu Please dear God let me have the money at the time of release to get this........

i like the Y500 too but sad part is, it is on the extreme heavy side. at 2.9kgs if i am not wrong, thats is pretty heavy.
other than that, the spec and design and color theme is just
such a beautiful machine...

Can someone tell me the detail bout this y500 and y580 different?

time will tel~~

the detailed spec for y500 is not known yet. i am waiting for it as well to do the comparison..

655m and 660m diff should be small right?

660m is like 570m kah?

According to China forum there GT655M seems likely is SLI version of GT650M, GT650M does Not support SLI BTW

Hmm.. Would GT655M SLI be greater than GTX660M in term of performance?

GT650M is pretty close to the performance of the GTX660m already...
If the driver works, it is highly possible that GT655m SLI would be better (if that those are the official GPUs for the Y500)

The price would be higher than Y580 then...

Wow, nice backlit keyboard.. Interesting.

Have been following the topic for a while now.
Registered because I wanted to share a few thoughts.

overall it seems that the lenovo y500 will have 650m in SLI.

Performance-wise, we can compare the 560m-560m SLi ratio and draw some theoretical conclusions:
560M - 2051(3dmark 11)
560M SLI - 3997(3dmark 11)

About 195% improvement, however it only works when both cards are on the same board.
The ultrabay slot might have bandwidth issues and a general bottleneck but overall I expect it to perform at about 170-180% of the GT650m. (Should at the same level as GTX670MX but will probably get a major drop on the clocks so it will be between 580m and 670mx.)
Expect it to burn your lap and make a gash in your wallet.

Regarding the price.
I'm obviously speculating, but if you look at the market, you will see that there is a pretty clear price-performance ratio in most of the mass produced laptops (not including alienware, eos, deviltech etc...).
A 15" (a pretty compact one at that) gaming laptop with 1080p panel, an I7QM and an SLI GPU (Two chips with individual cooling cost more than a single beefy one) should go for about 1050$ for the basic build with the ultrabay card costing additional 250$.

MSI GX60 - Radeon 7970m 1300$
I found more on newegg but all of them are way above the 1.3k mark.

I just hope they do some initial discount and go for 1k-1.1k, but this is the LOWEST price I can expect.

I was hoping to pick it up for 950$ without the ultrabay but it seems pretty delusional considering the design and demand.
>.<

BTW somebody misunderstand what I write....lol
What I mean is GT655M seems like is GT650M+SLI circuit, so single GT655M would be same as single GT650M

GX60@$1.3k.. interesting.

Still can't find any review about it, i wonder how much that A10 will cripple the mighty 7970M.

according from NBR forum, the apu bottleneck gaming performance quite huge on some games.. bringing it down to the level of GT675M.
