Let's hope it won't cost a Bomb.

It is weight around 2.88kg(probably without the 2nd GPU), and only packed with a 1366x768 LCD on an 15 inch.

Would rather get a Sager with a single 7970M(which probably even beat 2x GTX660M), weight around 3.1kg, and packed with a 1920x1080 LCD on an 15 inch.

Again, the question is, will it cost(inclusive of the 2nd GPU for SLI) about the same as the sager or cheaper.

Good thing you can still use your Asus adapter.

Really interested with the price.
If the price is right, it'll be an awesome machine for our local market.

Wow. Not a bad price!
They should include a 90w adapter, which I think should be enough to run 1 GPU.
So people can bring around outside with 1 GPU + empty bay + 90w psu.
When get back home, insert the GT650M bay, and use the 170w adapter for performance.

Not sure whether it's the one :

But it does stated SLI enabled.

Both.
Where can you get a laptop with a performance of a GT675M(looking at the 3DMark11 results) that cost only RM3799?
That's about RM800 differences, which is only 27% more expensive for an increased of 70 to 80 percent gaming performance.
Some more, that price were told to include extra 170w adapter.
Most importantly is that you don't have to sacrifice the weight when you want to take it out outside to work or school by taking out the extra GPU and use back the default 120w adapter(same as the Y580).
They both(Y580 vs Y500) weight about the same on stock(without the extra GPU).

I would recommend those looking for a cheap gaming laptop to wait for the release.
Also, if possible, wait until there's a review of it, just to make sure there's no issue with this laptop.

Thanks for the clarification.
Means that the users have to bring along the extra GPU(inserted) and 170w PSU, which is not that convenient compared to carrying a 120w adapter and without the extra GPU for everyday outdoor use.

Hope there's an option for the owners to buy an extra blank ultrabay or anything to replace the GPU, and an extra 120w PSU adapter.

Thanks Man!

Review please!

Very nice results there Jabberwocky!

Yeah, do some temperature testing.

Also, if possible, test some more games, see whether there are issues with the SLI.

Thanks Jabberwocky.
71c.. Nice Temp for a single GPU stress test!

Waiting for SLI temp..

I think it should be GTX675M instead of GTX670M.

You can still upgrade(SSD, RAM, etc) the Y500 in the future.
But you can't do anything to improve the gaming performance on the Y580. Except by overclocking.

Just have to wait for more review on the gaming performance and gaming stability of the GT650M SLI.
Whether the improvement over the GTX660M is worth it or not.

Yup, they should introduce additional ultrabay battery in the future like what the fujitsu offers. So, it should be possible to implement.

http://www.fujitsu.com/hk/services/computi...h792/specs.html

Optional bay for Fujitsu SH792:
-Bay Projector
-Bay Battery, 3-cell Li-ion 28Wh, up to 12hrs10mins1 battery life (Standard + Bay Batteries)
-Blu-ray writable drive
-Dual Layer DVD Super Multi writer
-2nd HDD Fitting Kit (w/o SATA HDD)
-Weight Saver

Some more the GT650M fitted in the Y500 is the GDDR5 version.
So, it differ with the GTX660M slightly in core clock(735MHz vs 835MHz) and memory clock(1000MHz vs 1250MHz), of which can easily be ocable.
So if you have trouble with SLI on some games, just insert an ultrabay fan for a better cooling, and OC the GPU to a GTX660M clock, then done, you have an almost identical setup to a Y580, but with better cooling on the system compared to the Y580.
Also, no more worrying on the HDD temp like the brother Y580 is having.

Depending on games.

Notebookcheck did a test.

Average results from 14 games :

Ahh.. They have also include 1366x768 into the average result..
Didn't notice that..
