Was about to buy Y580 then saw this thing in lowyat yesterday. Dafuq.... What a quality lookin laptop... In my oppinion far apart then Y580 (I compared it side by side). Now my problem is now to increase the budget (Damn it!) and hopefully to get one without the second GPU ( Its upgradable, so might as well upfrade the worthy one in coming years)

I now see Y580 as an ugly brother of Y500.... Its built solidly and the design is classy. Wonder why theres still no professional reviews for this unique laptop. Usually reviewers run to review new tech.

Yep that is the problem, its RM800 more but then again what we get here so far in msia is the SLI version highest spec version, I saw a black friday sales last week for Y500 single GPU FHD at around 799USD if not mistaken, thats the same price range with Y580!

So here im hoping we will get the single GPU version of Y500. 660GTX to 650M is not a bad tradeoff, especially u know u can always upgrade it sometimes in the future 1 year from now that external 650GT should be in lelong price hehehe. (or simply, order from outside the country. its an ultrabay after all)

I thot this trend also happened with Y580, where they release full spec first for Msia 2 months ago, then slowly we have spec cut here and there to minimize the cost... so im waitin for next month i guess
