I got mine for only RM34xx.

Just have time to really play with it.

1st impression: a Razer Blade clone! (with less than half the price of the Razer Blade), feels very solid, but not too bulky.. a bit heavy, about the same as the Alienware M15x

Got some flickering in DOTA2, maybe its my outdated driver. I'll update and make more reviews lol

What kind of "flickering"? Micro-stuttering? (finger cross) (Shouldn't since it is only DOTA2)
*
Oh apparently its a general SLI problem, which faced by all the SLIs out there, so no worry about that the machine is working perfectly fine. In fact, i turned off SLI and run DOTA2 in max graphic and its smooothhhhh.... brows.gif

btw here's a quick pic, I'll post more later laugh.gif

btw the latest Nvidia driver doesn't support 650M SLI, and it says I need to download the package from manufacturer (lenovo) itself, which is the same driver that comes with the machine.

Ok I've done a Furmark test with 1920x1080, 4X MSAA for 20 mins.

The CPU/GPU temperature starts to stables at 6 min mark and I let it run until 20 min before I took the screenshot.

Here is it.

Don't boom me if I done it wrong, first timer here blush.gif

Edit:
- No laptop cooler/fan was used when the test is running, except the ceiling fan in my room running at 2x.
- GPU-Z is showing the primary GPU 650M profile while CPUID is showing both.

Many thanks.  notworthy.gif

Y500 stress temp is very promising.  thumbup.gif
External gpu temp before and after stress around the same at 38C.
Look like it only stress the on-board gpu. weird!    shocking.gif

Can post display adapter in device manager as in pic.
Wish to confirm any Nvidia optimus support for Intel HD. Wonder how is the battery life?  hmm.gif
I was wondering about the external GPU too but 1 thing fur sure more heat flows from the left (primary GPU).

Display adapters as requested.

Never really tested out the battery life since it was on power all the time. I'll unplug it and do some gaming tomorrow and update you guys k blush.gif

I only have 4Gig but gaming experience for me its the best so far, it meets my requirement therefore I won't upgrade to 8Gig. Too be honest I prefer the overall feeling of the y500 than playing on my friend's Razer Blade, call me weird but its true.

My palm doesn't feel much heat (Blade have a focus heat spot, which annoys me) and jumping from keys to keys is pretty at ease (hardly pushed the wrong key)

I brought my machine to chill out at a nearby Starbucks, last about 2 hrs 45 mins with continuous gaming (DOTA2, GW2 in max setting, battery 'high performance' profile.

and 1 more thing, it make head turns! icon_idea.gif

but how is it if you compare it with macbook keyboard?

I will still pick the y500. blush.gif

Although both y500 and mac keyboards looks the same, the reason is because y500 keys are curved into the middle (if you look carefully at the pics) that fits in perfectly to your fingers during compression while mac keys are flat so it kinda feel a bit rigid and dull. laugh.gif

What Jabberwocky posted was more like a confirmation for Malaysia context smile.gif Good job Jabberwocky (if I remember correctly he mentioned this is the 1st time he run benchmark suite) and the rest thumbup.gif And thanks ytlay  notworthy.gif
The 1st post of this thread already listed a few benchmark done in China (same GT650M SLI).
In short, benchmark indicate it is about GT670M level, under GT670MX. Of course benchmark can only tell you so much, with the normal caveat that come with SLI setup (in this case apparently through SATA rather than PCIe).

No problem! Glad to help anytime blush.gif

Can the owner of y500 here do me a favour, plz check if the wireless network adapter in your laptop is Atheros or Broadcom.
Thanks.

Ouch I'm at work right now and I keep my darling back home rclxub.gif
If you can wait I can check it for ya after I went back home, or better still if there are any other y500 owners that can do you a favour laugh.gif
