Nope, Y480 is using Atheros and it can up to 150Mbps WLAN speed(according to my modem setting)

Got user report that if u r buying the Windows bundle version(I'm bought the FreeDOS version), please remove the antivirus(McAfee I think) bundle too as it will draw out all ur internet access

As Y500 is preload Win 8, it is not in RM50 Win 8 Pro upgrade program(after 11/1)

any user y480 got any issue about this lappy ??? @_@need some info before made decision...thanks all

it's officially launched already? I went to the lenovo retailer last weekend, didn't see any (not even for y500)

It's pretty much very nice of it, except it has only 1 x 3.0 USB which is so ...

yes, be ready from shipment from Germany

Well I think they(Lenovo Retailer) not even wanna sell this two model, maybe they still keep lot of stock for previous Y480 and Y580(as u can see in Lenovo Malaysia page, they keep promoting Y580 and they skip those ask for Y500)

Hello everybody...a proud owner of Lenovo Y500 reporting in. I bought the laptop from gn175546 on the 30th November 2012. A good and helpful seller I must say. He can deliver free of charge within the Klang Valley. Here's the link to his thread.

Now, I unleash the the Lenovo Y500 to you guys. Enjoy!

AmyDazz, is it heavy? @_@.....with and without adapter how heavy is it?

oh my oh my @_@

I can say it is quite heavy. But, most of the time I kinda use it as a desktop replacement. I don't carry it...but if I must..putting it in the new Targus 15.6” Revolution Laptop Backpack XL, makes me feel more comfortable and less stress on my shoulders.

Here's the pic of the bag.



Actually, the bag that comes with the laptop quite lousy one, quite thin and less cushion for absorbing the impact. That's why I bought the Targus backpack.

how much grabbed that bag? looks a bit nicer than my targus metro

I'm a user of Y580 myself, been owning this cool laptop like 2 months++ already...

WiFi issue is because of the wifi card spec... it's only capable up to 72Mbps... but signal strength, data throughput, I have no problem at all... this is already faster than my previous wifi adapter I used on my desktop before, so I have no complain... signal strength is definitely better than my Note 5.3" and have no problem at all...

temperature wise, it might be high if you come from desktop scene and customized to get better cooling, but all in all I think this laptop is pretty good... I'm running high performance profile all the time and my HDD is within 42'C and CPU is within 40-45'C with normal operation which is normal for laptop with this size... gaming will get a lil bit higher if I push it too much, like 60'C CPU, HDD probably in 50'C range... palm rest and keyboard is a little warm for gaming but it's not hot... but warm enough to make me feel uncomfortable (maybe because I'm used to external keyboard so my expectation on heat while gaming is different) so I normally use my BlackWidow/Nostromo for gaming... some would say the temperature of HDD is dangerously high that it might shorten the lifespan of the HDD, I'm not really have a big concern on that, I store my data on my NAS and clouds... but you can always relocate the HDD to optical bay and have cooler HDD...

I can't compare the weight with G50 coz I've never used one, but for me this is much better than carrying desktop all around when travelling...

Screen, for my Y580 it's FHD so it's quite good... viewing angle is not that bad for me (i think i dont have problem in that region) but some people do say some other screens have better viewing angle... but if I want to compare this laptop's screen with my previous LG monitor, this screen rocks better...

Any issue? so far, none... hardware wise, this laptop is great... software wise, you might want to remove the bundled McAfee... it's one of the biggest headache on my work laptop... other than that I pretty much like the bloatwares, especially the power management thingy... but if you are upgrading to Win8, none of those will work and actually gives you a lot of error, it's better to do clean installation and install the apps for win8... so far, Lenovo only has one and it's for the power management (yeayyyy )

how the temperature of this when normal using y580?

Selling price is RM309 here in JB...but I managed to get discount. Bought at RM280...not much..but alas..better have than none.
