Count me in. My Y480 also have this issue, but I don't think its a big deal though. Although a bit loose, still acceptable because I don't think that the connector can disconnect by itself from the socket.
Y580? That indeed cheap.    I don't know if that cheapest one though. Anyway congratz!     
Well, for me there's nothing wrong using this series of laptop for work, as that's what the actual purpose of mine. 

These Y series are great: their high-end specs, design, quality are unmatched compare to the price (so cheap!). If ones looking for All-in-One portable PC that able to do everything with lowest price, this are the best for sure.

But for your case (assume that your task are mostly for teachings and meetings), I really recommend Ultrabook, because of great battery life and easy to move around (thanks for their weight and slimness). Lot's of my clients (most from higher-ups, government Putrajaya area) are using Ultrabook because of these reasons. But be alert: you cannot do other great things like gaming because of lack of powerful graphics inside most Ultrabook. Also, the price is a bit expensive compare to other type of laptops.

Unless you're also love gaming or other heavy task (video editing, software development etc) and not afford enough to buy multiple PC's / laptop for that, or didn't care of weight / battery, I recommend ultrabook for you.

Yesterday i just tried to use. and the experience is unbelievable. sound visual all very nice.

yesterday i was like :"what ?! laptop sound can perform that well?!" too many bad and normal laptop speaker, so this y580 speaker just stunt me.hehe

Asus Altec Lansing in A-series are weak.
Bang & Olufsen on the Asus N46/N56 is better.

the cons is the weight. quite heavy actually. other than that it is powerful. 

wonder why ppl still call Y580 gaming laptop   
Y500 is the gaming laptop, not Y580....
p.s: once again, i'll try to update the main page soon      

I do not think he meant exactly y400/y500 specific, but SLI in general... not all game came out with SLI ready upon release and sometimes perform worse than single card... some people find this as turn off factor coz they're lazy to update the driver...

of course if you are willing to tolerate that (which for me it's tolerable), there's nothing wrong with SLI... unless he meant something else....

Wanna share ur specs? 

well, I'm willling to call this as gaming laptop unofficially since Razer Blade has the similar spec (same CPU + GPU....)

however, Lenovo US coined Y580 as Powerful Gaming Laptop PC...

and I'm not kidding... http://www.lenovo.com/products/us/laptop/i.../y-series/y580/  

i think y500 lighter

does 1366x768 vs 1920x1080 bring much different?

got....     
after got FHD screen, i cannot stand HD screen 

oh now i see.my pc 1920 x1080 quite nice with 23 inch screen..1366 x 768 less stress for gpu..gpu can last long la..

i think 14 inch doest not have FHD screen ?am i right?

14'' dont have, 11'' got FullHD

Care b4 you fried your USB controller chip...

Powered separately mean not from laptop but external power source?

And wanna ask if anyone did format their Y580 500GB HDD? Just realized that the drive got quite a number of small partition here and there, any reason for that and is it safe to clear all of the partition?

And Cobby, in case you missed out on this...

Meaning using 2 USB port on your laptop? I don't really get it

Oh, but still...be care not to burn the USB controller ship...

whats the next release "brother" for Y500, any news?

Hello to all Y series users..

I have my eyes on this laptop series just recently..and I'm very impressed. Just need some clarifications,as I am planning on getting either y400 or y480. y580 seems abit stretched with my current budget but will be last on my list.
1) for the y400, does it only come with w8 out of factory?if i want it with w7, i hav to install it myself?Just read up a post on w8 & w7 dualboot..That's pretty cool...

2) For the y400 and y480, both DO NOT come with FHD, correct?

3) Anyone here plays DOTA 2 with y400 (single card/non-sli) or with the y480? To what extend is it playable? Maybe medium settings ~ 30 fps?

Planning to get the laptop maybe during CNY. Only playing dota,PES and some MMORPG games. The y480 or y400 seems perfect for my needs.

Hoping to get some insights regarding these. Really appreciate the help. Thank you in advance! Cheers!
