y580 the keyboard & the palmrest there hot?

On the left hand side of the lappie gets warm after probably 30 minutes of gaming. WARM... Not HOT!

I'm thinking to buy one between Y400 & Y480.
1. Y400 is going out soon before 2013?
2. Should I choose Y400 over Y480 for its better cooling system? (it's better right? lol)

Basically I'm concerning on the "heat" it gives on long period of using it.

Any advice? thx

Heard devour said is ady out....
Y400 should be in better cooling system, but Y480 with better cooler pad is also fine too.....

anyone knows whether we can still claim warranty for a faulty gtx660m in the y580 even if we have upgraded the ram and installed an ssd?

Dear all users of y480/y580,

Added on December 11, 2012, 5:58 pmSo far my Y480 not problem at all....
My laptop normal temp would be 38-40+ something in CPU, 35+ in HDD;
Gaming temp would be 60+ - 70+ in CPU, 70+ in GPU, 40-42 in HDD;
After gaming would be 40+ - 50 in CPU, 40 in HDD

thanks s2, how long u using this? and are u core gaming or just normal play?

I bought it at 29/7/2012, so is 4 months and one week ++....
Yeap I'm hardcore gaming(when I'm free I may play few hours, and put those game to maximum possible graphic setting) and also convert video by using GPU- acceleration, later I will use it for 3D modeling and engineering rendering

how u feel y480? if consider between 480 and 580 which one u recommend?
i'm quite confuse about the quality of lenovo and also the temperature of this thanks s2

What I bought Y480 is portable la...
At least in 2kg++
If I buy Y580 sure hard to bring it since it's 2.6kg++ mcm...
Y480 is quite solid built
And since Lenovo can handle the previous IBM ThinkPad series, I'm sure they will can be handle the their IdeaPad series too

^^ thanks so much

anw, u have any recommend for seller? or where i can buy this?

p/s: u wifi signal is good ? some said quite slow #_#

I'm very interested in buying this laptop. I saw someone selling US unit with 1 year international warranty. The price is about 15% cheaper. Worth it? or should i go with local set?

have same question with u #_#....the price is quite cheaper but only got 1 year. #_#

waiting some sifus here to reply.

Finally!!! downloading windows 8 pro upgrade..waiting for Windows 8 pro DVD

yay finally some y500 user reporting in here.... will add later in front page after class finished

stock y580 wifi adapter is lousy one... max speed only 72Mbps.. besides, the bios somehow detect the wifi adapter... so, if wanna change, you might need to flash to custom bios (later i'll update front page with this info... later)
the temp not that high imho.... it's kinda normal temp when you doing daily stuff or gaming.... don't expect very uber cool temp when doing heavy load on your laptop

well, if you're really think extra warranty is not needed & yakin can take care of your laptop well probably can get from him... but i heard that there might be some problem in claiming warranty ... i'm not sure about warranty stuff since i never claimed any warranty on any of my devices that i owned.

you ordered the DVD??

well the problem only exist on Y580 Wi-Fi card, u can request the service centre to help u change to Atheros one or if u buy the oversea set try find the Intel Wi-fi card one
