hurmm that means i have to wait for official caddy from lenovo.
thanks for the clarification
luckily didnt buy yet.

around when will all these ultrabay be available in the market? D:

someone should update the first page..got too much on ro2 i guess

how dare you.....
i'm on exam mode la

haha.all the best for your exam..anyone know how to register warranty online for y400.someone say need to attach receipt..

what does it means by base warranty support?

the easiest is usually register on lenovo website, but then sometimes it didn't register the warranty correctly..
the best way is to email them to register your laptop warranty. that way u need to attach your receipt. a simple digital photo or scanned is enough. i believe i've quoted hikashi's post in 1st page for the proper steps... eventhough his post mentioned for y480/580, i believe it's applicable to y400/500 too

edit: base warranty i believe basic warranty that applicable... since not all country offer 2 year warranty for lenovo product. basically our 2 year warranty is based on 1 year base warranty + 1 year extended warranty (smth like that)

alrite then.tq for the info..

Anyone feels that web browsing on Windows 8 will slow down every now and then? It's not constant though, if I load a page after not touching the browser for some time, it will load quite slowly. After that it will be fast again. However, the cycle repeats itself everytime I leave the browser not doing anything.

Any y480 user here? gonna buy y480 with gt650m soon, hows the cooling? performance? and if im not mistaken the new y480 only comes with the orange line at the lcd right?

Local set Y480 already phased out already and replaced by Y400 with better designs. Most of the Y480 available in the market are grey imported set (AP set). You might get a refurbished set or end up with major warranty claims problem. Its best to avoid and go for local set Y400.

Yeah but y400 kinda expensive and the spec same like y480, besides, I'm on budget now. Y480 the least that I can get. heard about some of my friends have the same laptop and he got no problem at all

Try to look for a sealed unit.
I think some sellers will still have stock for it.

Buying laptop is not like buying vegetable. We need to look at price/performance and also good service/warranty support. What happens if we are unlucky to get a refurbished set or bad apple for cheaper imported set and local Lenovo reject your warranty as reported in http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2647407.

Dont get carry away by the good offers on cheaper imported set (AP set)
and overlook the important of good service & warranty support before we

Spend a bit extra for local set Y400 and you get better designs, cooling and optional swappable ultrabay.
You can check the Y400 pricing in garage sales & nego for it.

cant find any sealed unit though, wonder if you have the web link?

yeah ill think about that, could be worth it though to buy y400. So you have y400? hows the gaming performance? can run ultra setting? and the hightest FPS that you can reach

Y400 & Y480 have similar spec/performance but different designs.
Y400 has the options to add extra ultrabay gt650m/170w psu for sli when you need extra horsepower later.

what browser are you using... I don't have any issue on Chrome...

Any y500 (local unit) user experiencing random typing keyboard issue? o.o

guys I have a few questions..

basically I am planning to get the y580 the full HD, DVD writer, 500gb HDD model cuz it starts at 2700

1... I want to upgrade ram to 16gb. its cost about 200rm to do that so its worth it I suppose. only problem is that now most of this model comes with windows 8. I dont want that. I want windows 7 and the problem with that is that this model comes with home basic whic is not compatible with 16gb ram. what do I do ? I do not want the i7 3610 model. do you know how I can get windows 7 premium, professional or ultimate ? is there any seller here who is actually doing that ?

2.. I also want to upgrade to SSD. either I get an msata and keep the HDD inside or I replace the HDD with a 2.5" SSD. msata does not seem to be a viable option at the moment as it is much more expensive perGB in malaysia and also the R/W speeds are much less compared to sata 3 SSD.
now I just want o know that when I do get one, how easy is it to transfer the OS to the SSD? is it a pain to do this ? can I do it by my self?
will that void my warranty? (though I dont think it should)

3.. current owners.. how do you find this machine ? is it worth the price?
I currently use a second generation i5 with 8gb ram. and I work on autodesk maya.. this is the only laptop I found in my budget that seemed like a worthwhile upgrade (on paper). how is it to use though?
I ask because once I make this choice I plan to be stuck with it for atleast the next 2-3 years. I dont wanna USE a PC for now
