When i bought the Y480 (5934-7549) freedos version, i was told that it comes with 2 years warranty but when i check warranty lookup status at lenovo website, it only stated 1 year warranty.

Then i went to warranty extend at (http://support.lenovo.com/templatedata/Web%20Content/JSP/warrantyLookup.jsp#) but still only getting 1 year. Any1 with any idea how to extend it?

hmm not much info on the fhd screen. any comparison or opinion to your previous laptop or display?

tks

Its too late Guah...i bought 3 weeks ago,and finding this model y480 is dam hard    only 2 retailer still selling..one is the GT640M LE (current one is from jayacomm) another is GT650M..but the one selling GT650M give window home basic,and he charge me higher price =/ and it sounds like a prank to me as i saw the spec in the flyer is home premium,so i didnt get that one.Well,i promise my dad not to get an overly expensive one..so yeah    *sigh*

hmm.. so cannot straight away install back win 7 using the old key ar?...

btw.. I have problem with the usb 3.0 port.. all 3 of them..

when I connect usb 3.0 device.. it cannot detect.. when I connect 2.0 device.. it has no problem... n when I connect 3.0 device to the only 2.0 port.. no problem also... just that the 3.0 device dun work with the 3.0 port.. abit wtf lol... anyone has any clue?

Yupe. But the UI changed, still trying to get used to it.

wonder why ppl still call Y580 gaming laptop   
Y500 is the gaming laptop, not Y580....
p.s: once again, i'll try to update the main page soon

the Win 8 Pro pruduct key just like upgrade key with reformat enabled function

Hmm, coz Y480 is cheaper... Initially I targeted Y500, I like the design too (especially the irresistible red backlit keyboard)... but then I realized that I actually don't need sli and also heard that sli support problem... Then I just choose 1k+ cheaper version, Y480, and then I can use the money to buy a tablet. (2 is better than 1~ )

does 1366x768 vs 1920x1080 bring much different?

Hi anyone with a Y500 can you share your experience of gaming with it ? And your specs and price pls ? Thanks

Powered separately mean not from laptop but external power source?

And wanna ask if anyone did format their Y580 500GB HDD? Just realized that the drive got quite a number of small partition here and there, any reason for that and is it safe to clear all of the partition?

And Cobby, in case you missed out on this...

Nvidia new driver is out:

Y600 incorperating dual GTX680m with 4th gen i7 processor,

why format to win 7?.. :

lol... dun exist la...

so u removed ur hdd??

man now im so confused. y580 vs y500 vs y400

I guess the first main question would be GTX660M vs GT650M and I really dont understand all the jargon on the comparison sites. I guess in the real world, while actually playing games, does it make a somewhat significant difference?

thenext would definately be that I dont understand what this whole ultrabay thing does. from my understanding basically its a slot where you can replace the the DVD drive with a harddisk and case or another graphic card and case. I guess that would be useful if playing super high demanding games. but otherwise its useless. the reason this is confusing for me is that I dont play too many games. im not a gamer. but when I do play accidentally start of playing something, the whole world shuts down for like a week. last time I did that was 2 years ago. ive been on rehab ever since.

3rdly now a lot of sellers dont have the y580. and y500 is quite expensive i believe. does the price drop if I dont buy a nother graphics card and go for a simple DVD drive instead? the y480 is around the same price as the y580 non blu-ray. but some sellers say its 14 inch and some say its 15.6. im confused. also is it 1080p full HD? cuz im not sure.

other than these which is a better machine in terms of looks, build quality and structure and cooling etc ? I really have no idea about all this.

hoping to get some real world answers that a semi-nerd-semi-noob can understand
