Yeap, one left one right

haiz. only left one got light. need to post back la this lappy, afraid got something wrong with other hardware later.

Yes, it's microsoft offer... if you own win8 pro you can upgrade to media center pack for free in limited time... i think the offer is still on... but i dont know when to use media center... last time in win7 I can watch iptv via media center (cbs is one of the channel i watched) but in win8 there's no internet tv channel anymore...

hey guys why i feel that the processor is slow? like my acer laptop with i7-2630 is faster than this i7-3610.

do the battery management make it consume less power?
although i am not running on battery currently

What make you think its slower?

Most likely the HDD affecting it...

Hi, Any Y500 owner here that already claim the 2 years warranty with lenovo malaysia?
I had an issue dealing with the 2 years warranty, lenovo malaysia said that Y500 didn't bundle with a 2 years warranty.

bought a 2nd hand y580. change the 1tb hdd with 150 ssd

How much for 2nd hand Y580 you buy?

I wish the Y580 came with more space to put a second drive, so I can have both a HDD and SSD. Their option of using a small SSD isn't worth it

*eh, I can buy a mSATA SSD from outside and use as standalone dive right? First time I asked the guy, he said the 32gb SSD is only for a speed boost, not as a standalone drive

Thinking of getting the Crucial M4 mSATA

well, you can also opt to use SSD+HDD combo by removing your ODD
and yes.... mSATA can be used as standalone drive... iinm since the bios is locked, only set that originally comes with mSATA can be configured for cache purpose..... (not sure if this still true or not)

You can replace the original HDD location with SSD(to avoid hdd high temp. between the CPU/GPU)(window OS on SSD), and move the original HDD to ODD location with hdd caddy. ODD use usb cable as external drive.

I think I'll keep as it is, and find a mSATA SSD to use a drive for OS and games.

nope
any mSATA can be used as cache or standalone drive.
Putting the Drive mode from ACHI to Raid will enable the caching method.

imo, for the SSD solution in Y580, i recommends using mSATA instead of transfering your harddisk to caddy.

Quite some customer walk into my shop buying Y580 but with their own caddy bay bought at forum.
The built of the caddy directly affect the slotting which will leave out extra space that the whole caddy is quite "Koyang"

Mechanical harddrive is very sensitive of vibration especially when you're working with your unit.

Added on December 19, 2012, 1:24 pmbtw, i'm doing a full review of Local Y400 review. where should i put the thread at a?

hrmm... iinm on previous y480/580 thread, got someone mentioned that the y480/580 bios locks the caching except when the mSATA really comes with the unit...
as for review, there's official review sub-forum on computer section but not sure if there's other place where you can post it...
later when i get things right, i'll update the 1st page and probably can link your review later
