This is the major warranty claims issues on grey imported set from US reported in local Lenovo facebook as quoted below. Pity her got the bad apple and experience the major warranty claims issues.

So, please be very careful and don't get poison by those good deals of the grey imported set (AP set) from US.
It will save your hassle and headace during warranty claims.

For those who owned the AP set, pray hard that you are lucky and nothing go wrong with your lappy.

Lenovo Malaysia:
"Hi Ms Radhika, sorry for the delay. I have intended to contact you as soon I was able to speak to the reseller who sold you the U300 but was unable to since their number was not reachable, however, in the process, dialled your brother's number which was written in the purchase invoice (thinking it could be the salesman's contact number) and I have spoken to him with regards to the management disposition on this case.

Lenovo management has decided that we will not be able to support your request for a replacement or refund because this machine is a US based machine. The dealer who sold you the unit is not an authorized Lenovo reseller. I have tried to contact the reseller but to no avail, in order to advise them the situation and for them to liase with you with regards to the solution that they may be able to offer you. I suggest that you walk in to the reseller's office if you also fail to reach them via telephone and bring up this issue to them.

Although Lenovo is an international company, the services that we render is subjected to the company's local policy and at the same time governed by Lenovo International Term & Condition.

For your existing U300 which are still at our service center, we will finish up the repair but there won't be any more warranty repair should any issue surfaces after this. "

Hello,

And i find it strange that when i try to run game with single gpu.
The game is Far Cry 3 , its ran smoothly on medium preset.
Meanwhile, Activate the SLi(dual GPU).

What is probably the problem is?

My friend has been looking for Lenovo Y580.
He's been told by several resellers that a new batch is coming out, with new specs...
Now everywhere is out of stock, as resellers are clearing stock, and waiting for the new batch of stock.

Is there anybody here knows that, what specs the new batch offers? How about the price?
Any idea?


THANKS.

New batch with new specs is lenovo y500, to replace y580 which is already eol.

y500 coming with new specs?? where's the source? and when ar?

hi sifus..i want to ask about the y400..
is it come in 2years warrNty or 1year warranty?
also is it come with gpu ultrabay or only with the optical drive?

thanks in advance..

Please just read the 1st post of this thread lah

Local set comes with 2 years warranty, imported set comes with 1 year so-called international warranty.

Did i say y500 coming with new specs?
Lol

shit i just read back what you said i realised i was confused
sorry bro

I have a question, the local set y500 can support mSATA right? and if yes only specific brands or any also can?
Thank you

Yes, y500 does support msata, any msata ssd will do.

anybody know is that y500 motherboard can support higher gpu model in ultrabay slot e.g gtx680m

whats the best msata to put? 120 or 240++ with pricing

too used to my desktop with ssd hahahaha.

1. Lenovo don't release GTX680M in ultrabay. (and no one else is )
2. To run SLI, you need 2 of the same GPU model.

There is no way a GTX680M can SLI with a GT650M

Crucial M4 m-sata SSD is the best bargain, either 128gb or 256gb will do

^^v

is there a way to transfer all the files to new msata without reformating
