In my opinion, some people don't like it because it is completely different than previous windows 7

Well... Maybe you can still use the desktop function but difference is quite huge. I found myself trying to understand the functions because in laptop is not as easy to use compared to tablet.

Also, some of the features, need time to adjust. I'm currently logged into UK store, dunno why.  biggrin.gif

IE took me some time understand the usage like type the address because its hidden, extra tab, in private, etc. only problem now is how to get to gutteruncensored.  tongue.gif

Yup, it's completely different... while it's intuitive with touch screen, traditional input will have some learning curve... I've tested Win8 since consumer preview so it's not that alien for me (to be frank, I still stutter and struggle for certain functions) but for those who just getting to know it, I can understand the frustration.

Desktop function is only to:-
1. maintain compatibility with older Windows apps
2. File Explorer

And the worst thing is, the search function is actually degraded from previous iteration Windows shakehead.gif (and the previous is already bad). Good thing it boots up fast, and I actually like the Start screen better now because it leave my desktop clean of icons and I dont have to struggle looking for my games in cluttered Start Menu laugh.gif

I'm not 100% sure but I believe if there's an option for that, it will be in the BIOS menu...

U3..... U2 is kinda small for Y580... not sure bout Slim, but highly suggested that U3 as you can reposition the fans

Those who has moved the HDD to ODD location, what's the clearance we have for that area? I'm trying to see over on amazon or ebay if I can get cheaper, but I notice there's two size (12.7mm and 9.5mm) which one will fit Y580 ODD space?

Have you installed the driver?
You can still use it in Win8 but there will no on screen notification when you switch between modes each time.
