QUOTE(slimfox @ Jan 19 2013, 02:13 PM) The guys in Lowyat is really pushing y580 yesterday when I went. with a blueray drive asking rm3400++. At that price I would rather get the y500. Just wondering if there is any msata ports in the y500 and if yes can we use it when buying local set? Original reboot times are not very attractive so it either msata or change to SSD. Grrr.. I've been searching for Blu-Ray and can't find any. All selling DVD. Now suddenly, Blu Ray come out..

QUOTE(guilt79 @ Jan 20 2013, 12:51 PM) Did you check SriComputer? Seems that is all they have y580 with blueray drive. Quite pointless cause I've not use a disc (cd/dvd/blueray etc) with a computer for the past few years.

QUOTE(maggot05 @ Jan 20 2013, 10:16 AM) ah.. makes sense.. but i suppose that really wont be as fast as an SSD. in any case sorry for being a noob.. well we all start somewhere yup, won't be as fast as real SSD as most data will still be pulled out from HDD... in some occasion, it will be faster, some will not... no worry... we all start from knowing nothing... nobody born with great vast of knowledge right in their head...

Hm, any Y580 users here that's playing a lot of Dota2? Just encounter some minor issue after playing around 3 hours of Dota2, i saw the background(the burning fire) behind the main page will be lagging and when i type some msg also will see some lag with the time i type and the time the msg appear on screen... Weird that just right before that page, i was in game and there's no apparent lag at all...

Why would you bother to buy it without second GPU? All local set comes with second GPU in package, unless you are getting the imported set. Don't ever get the imported set unless you want to go through hassles in future for warranty issue.

It's the client's issue, no problems with your laptops.

I heard US set , some are faulty unit?

I heard US set , some are faulty unit? my opinion, it's better to get Y580 if you can find one rather than getting Y500 US unit if you're tight on budget... it's not advisable to get US unit... you'll face problem if you ever need the warranty... and given the current circumstances, it seems to be you'll need the warranty... if you still want the Y500, just grab Malaysian unit... spend extra for extra peace of mind...
