Mini Tips

1. All local Y480/Y580 (not sure for Y400/Y500) sets comes with 2 year warranty. The steps to register the warranty as follows:

2. Currently, Microsoft is offering cheap Windows 8 Upgrade for Windows 7 owner for only RM50.

3. It is recommended to make factory default disc after you bought your laptop. Go to OneKey Recovery and choose Create Recovery Disc. Then select Factory default recovery disc. It should take about 4 blank DVD for this purpose.
4. It is also recommended to change to SSD for major speed improvement. Many opt to use SSD+HDD combo by replacing HDD with SSD while putting the original HDD at ODD spot with caddy.
5. There are some pre-installed softwares that come with laptop that are safe to be uninstalled. But, make sure don't uninstall important ones such as Energy Management, OneKey etc..

Added on December 8, 2012, 2:34 amWell now got one things make me think abt it...
If buyer does buy Y400/Y500 come with single GT650M GPU and dun want add an extra GPU ultrabay, it actually perform slightly weaker graphic performance than Y480 since what we seen from Y500's single GT650M is downclocked?

probably yeah....well, the main selling point of those two model is the ultrabay which most probably be used for extra GPU for SLI setup...
but maybe can find a way to overclock it back

Congratulations for the new thread!!!

been waiting for quite some time for you guys to open up new threads before joining in...

Been owning Y580 for quite some time already and all I can say is I'm impressed with the value vs performance of this laptop... Coming from desktop gaming, I'm pretty much satisfied with this laptop..

I'm still curious though on few things... one thing is extra cooling. Of course by default this laptop is not that hot (though I'm pretty nervous when I run it first time because I'm used to having 38'C CPU idling on my desktop) but any good extra cooler suggestion? I'm on Targus Chillmat at the moment and I dont really notice much improvement in cooling actually...

Another thing is, we all know that gtx660m is capable of running 3d vision, but I wonder if anybody has tried that?

well, most of us use CM Notepal U3 for our Y580 because of adjustable fan position. It do helps a bit in cooling our laptop

As for that 3d vision, i dunno... never tested it

1 post for user review and another one for mods

Oh man. Thundermatch offer me y580 for rm2999 for the usual spec but add a 500g ext hdd & add 4g ram

For the model 5934-6843/9463

make sure it is FHD 1920x1080

well, the listed price is the suggested price.... it's up to seller to price it above or below the price

Yeah, when they open the box i'll turn on & check

Btw the spec on the side of the box can be trusted?

Should be, make sure the box is sealed.

But if can confirm on the spot, its better.
