Any difference in the touchpad? Some y500 come with Elan and some with Synaptics, right ?

u upgraded from window 8 slv?

y580 can do this?

if simple click one can i believe, but probably not if applying gesture... unless can use the touchpad

finally ibm reply my email and confirmed that my laptop warranty valid.
now im thinking to upgrade ram and extend warranty, will send them email ask 8gb ram quotation first.

In a 20c room? wow mine was hotter around 28c when I tested this. The way I position the fans is vital for the efficient cooling (2 big fans in diagonal,2 small fans opposite, didn't cover the the laptop's own fan) I put the big fan directly on the HDD, 2nd big fan directly near the laptop fan and covered the upper HDD whereas the 2 small fans cover the GPU and CPU directly. Even when I switch off the cooler the whole temperature just rose around 2-5c.

I can use some of the gesture but not the swipe lock.. lol

What is the best price I can get in Lowyat plaza for Malaysia unit y580 ?

maybe I should try...

if the temp still not dropping then can confirm my thermal paste needs replacement then... nowadays I'm freezing in my own apartment, room temp 25'C can make the laptop goes close to 100'C...

if everyday BF3, probably it'll be dead before it's time...

hi there ppl , do you guys think i should buy a US set ? whatre the disadvantages regarding warranty and software/hardware

Thanks all for your comments

You can purchase RAM by yourself. make sure it is 1600 then you will be fine. I added the RAM by myself. However, Lenovo Y500's back cover come in 1 set. Which means that you have to dissemble the whole back cover in order to install the RAM. You probably can find the tutorials online and it's not hard. xD

back cover y500 is amazing.u can easily cuci the kipas

My one comes with Synaptics. So far no problem yet. Many Y500 and Y580 users complain about their touchpad malfunctioning but so far I dont have any problem with it.

No the Original window 8 64-bits come with the picture lock function

For Y500, standard one comes with 2 years Carry-in warranty. You need to register your product's warranty at lenovo's website. You need to attach your invoice with date and company's chop in order to register for warranty. So one thing you HAVE to be careful is that you need to make sure that there's a CHOP in your invoice.

Regardless to the hardware problem, as what i see in the community forum, most users have touchpad problems (but I dont have), so if you are the lucky one, you will get the good one. Then, Lenovo Y500 comes with different specs now. Some comes with Blu-Ray optical drive, some come with DVD drive (which means they are not GT650 SLI). depending on what you want.

The GT650 SLI is not that stable yet. Need to wait for Nvidia to release the latest drivers to solve the slacking and glitch problem in certain games, most identical one would be Dota 2. The vertical sync problem still remain unsolved yet.

Can I bring my laptop together with newly bought ssd and caddy to the lenovo service centre and ask them help transfer my current windows 8 from the hdd to sdd ? then my hdd will replace odd place, ssd insert into hdd place. hdd will act like storage drive after that. I really dont have idea on how to do it on my own.

Thanks for answering. u upgrade from windows 7 to windows 8 ? my laptop is upgraded from window 7 hp to window 8. when i receive it it is already in window 8 pro( bought 2nd hand) and how i know it is still "fresh" and clean or how to perform a clean install again for this upgraded windows 8 from windows 7 hp?

hard question
i believe you can go to pc settings -> general -> remove everythhing & reinstall windows...
but haven't tested it yet

From what i had googled. Follow this will be considered as clean install ?

i never heard before windows xp windows 7 windows vista need to "clean install"

Only windows 8 start to become "dirty" and need "clean install".
