The basic y500 varient already out?

Ahhhh... I see thanks guys! Hope to see it next week!

I don't think there will be a FreeDOS version anytime soon, the normal variant also not yet out.

1)So now there is only 2 variants in instead of 3?
2)Did you manage to fish out when will it arrive stock in MY?

Oh, for Pete's Sake!! the wait is killing me!! When only the y500 gt750m sli going to come lah?

Basically the whole point of getting a Lenovo Y500/400 is because you want a gaming monster but you have a tight budget, so things like disabled Nvidia Optimus, heating problems, touchpad faultiness is expected, if you want to get a proper gaming laptop, your budget must be at least RM6000, you guys better look elsewhere rather than the Y series of Lenovo. Just sharing my thoughts.

Now, lemmie do a price breakdown for you here, assuming that we're comparing both the w8 model not FreeDOS
Y400, i7-3630QM, GT750M(GDDR5)@RM2799, 4GB, 500GB, W8, red backlit, 120w psu, ODD (swappable), 2 yrs warranty
+RM229 (170 w Adapter)+ RM 99 (Good RAM Card)+ RM580 (GT750m graphics assuming that it is the same price) = it adds up to RM3707

Next we take the
Y500, i7-3630QM + GT750M(GDDR5) + 1920x1080@RM3899, 8GB , 1TB , W8, red backlit, swappable GN37 exGPU & ODD, 120w+170w psu, 2 yrs = RM3899

The difference between these is RM192 more for a
1) larger screen
2) more storage space
3) less likely heating problems
4) most likely resolved touchpad problems

All for an extra price of RM192, I'd think the verdict is clear here.

Where to get the AC adapter and GN37 exGPU when it is released?

Many thanks!

Lol the Lenovo shop fella said that most of the customers looking for the Y580 instead of the 500

Yep, only 4 units available though, I'd just got mine so left 4, he said stock just arrived late last night. [from lenovo reseller near acer at ground floor]

Y500 with SLI is not available yet he say, and "dunno when will come"(his exact words)
Only the Y500 with the ODD is available at RM3099.

I din check upstairs with Thundermatch and other stores though, I'd just went straight for the Official Lenovo reseller only

No probs, The only thing I'd upgraded is my warranty from 2 to 3 years (RM150). Hardware upgrades no. Yep I got it from them, Since they're the official reseller for Lenovo (PC3) at the Lenovo webpage.

That's the overseas price, You'd have to wait for the local GPU card to arrive, might be cheaper
