If you are gamer, wait and grab the upcoming Y500/Y400 +GT750m(GDDR5) which have better performance above GTX660m (ie Y580), much better cooling system, poisoness red backlit, optional swappable ultrabay, removable battery, slot for mSATA SSD and easier self upgrade of HDD, SSD, ram and dust cleaning compare to new Z400.  brows.gif

Else wait to grab new Z500/GT740m around the same performance of GT650m( ie N56vz) with bigger screen and better cooling compare to Z400.  biggrin.gif

How soon will it be? I need my new laptop urgently!

No swappable disc drive for Z400  laugh.gif . You can check with skycrawler in garage sales, whether any suitable slim caddy bay (not swappable)  for Z400. You need to remove your ODD and use it as external drive.

You need to check with Z400 user or reseller whether HDD bay or ODD bay is sata3 port before you get the SSD. Generally, HDD bay is sata3 port and ODD bay is sata2 port. But pls check it out.

Z400 don't have extra msata slot for msata SSD.  sad.gif
Y400 has msata slot.  biggrin.gif

hey, care to explain the part in bold?

What is HDD bay or ODD bay? does it matter? rclxub.gif

HDD bay is hardisk slot and ODD bay is optical disk drive slot.  biggrin.gif
Generally, HDD slot come with sata3 port which will speed up the SSD. ODD slot come with sata2 port which will slow down the SSD like HDD speed.  sweat.gif
You need to make sure Z400 come with sata3 port to enjoy the speed of SSD.    nod.gif

not just sata3 port but an extra sata3 port because i want to add SSD into my laptop, not replace my HDD cry.gif

Is it possible to check from the lenovo website?

If sata3 port is at HDD slot for Z400, you can swap your HDD with SSD. Get a suitable slim caddy bay to place your HDD and swap it with ODD. Use the ODD as external drive. This is similar to how Y580/Y480 users installed their SSD.  laugh.gif

If you want to retain your ODD in laptop, then use the HDD as external drive.  biggrin.gif

Suitable slim caddy bay? is it an extra component or is it in the laptop? rclxub.gif

Furthermore, i dont think the ODD is swappable for the HDD. Correct me if i'm wrong

Personally, I'd wait for Acer's offering, waiting for something like a  i7, GT750M, Full HD Matte IPS display combination. Currently, Acer only has this, GT750M> GT740M (Lenovo Z400) > GT730M. Perhaps Acer might refresh their V3-571G-736b8G1T with a GT750M...who knows smile.gif

V3-571G-736b8G1T, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT730M(DDR3) + (1920x1080 IPS) @RM2899[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8

I don't know about the Y400 but the older brother, Y480 suffers from BAD viewing angles.

Hey man, thanks but i got bad experience against acer so nah, will stick to lenovo tongue.gif

Any y400 owners got comment on the viewing angle of y400?

I place an order from US, since their specs is higher than here
such different as below

Malaysia spec  cry.gif    GT 650M SLI  /  500GB HDD  /  4GB RAM         

US spec  rclxms.gif            GT 750M SLI  /  1 TB HDD + 16 GB SSD  /  16GB RAM
isn't it obvious? besides that I went to PIKOM PC fair 14 April 2013, Lenovo Malaysia selling Y500 at RRP, while the US having a discount USD 289 rclxm9.gif

PS : My sis is coming back from there though so, I have no trouble with the shipping

I think malaysia having similar specs, but without the ssd i guess.

Maybe less RAM as well.

Perhaps, he get mess up with Y400/GT650m.  tongue.gif
Best is to get someone walk in and see with their own eye.  laugh.gif

Its better to check with the resellers in garage sales. They have faster updates on any new model.  biggrin.gif

Some resellers already accept pre order for Y400/GT750m/W8 around RM26xx. Check it out at garage sales.  icon_rolleyes.gif

Y400/GT750m  will come with W8 and freeDOS choices.  thumbup.gif

I will personally check it out myself. Hopefully its true biggrin.gif

new Y400 specs & retail price?
How much they offer you, any freeupgrade/freegift?

Guys. Specs will be uploaded tonight. I dont think there is a difference with previous y400/gt650 models.

Price is 2799. Not sure if they only have 1 unit for display or they have ready stock.

Edit: idk why but on the laptop screenshot of the specs... There is a sentence saying "diy to the max" then they listed the specs. Will upload tonight for further clarification
