QUOTE(imrance @ Jan 26 2013, 12:11 PM) mSATA you mean?QUOTE(ytlay @ Jan 26 2013, 12:34 PM) You can buy the mSATA SSD and insert in mSATA slot. Else you can buy normal SSD and swap with HDD, get Lenovo HDD ultrabay for HDD but quite costly. Its cheaper to use it as external HDD. USD189, man I could use that to beef up the budget to buy a bigger SSD instead!Beware the normal HDD caddy bay can not fit in the Y400/Y500 due to its design and ports. The ultrabay optional accessories are not available in the local market currently. Wonder they will bring in the ultrabay accessories. You can refer to ultrabay accessories selling at US Lenovo for more details. http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/control...e&cc=us&lang=en Here the pics for ultrabay accessories. ![]() Btw, for those with the new SLI Y500, it only runs on SLI when you are using the 170W adapter? My main reason of purchasing a Y500 is mainly due to the looks + its a quad i7 and 1920x1080 display hehehe... |

QUOTE(ytlay @ Jan 27 2013, 02:05 AM) This is where they make their money lol. Yeah... but the Y500 looks better than Y580! Love the brushed metal finishing on the Y500... Y580 is similar? Dimensions?Y500 with dual gpus(gt650m SLI) is overkill since you are not into gaming. Latest Y500 bundle with both 120w & 170w psu. You can bring the 120w psu when you need mobility. Swap in the ultrabay gpu and use 170w psu when you need the extra gpu performance. If you want i7 , full HD laptop and don't mind the overkill gtx660m. Better get the cheaper Y580@2999 with gtx660m and longer battery life. Use the remaining budget to buy SSD and swap it with HDD, get a much cheaper HDD caddy bay and swap it with ODD. use the ODD as external drive. If you wish to retain the ODD, then get the mSATA SSD for mSATA slot. |
