Went to lowyat yesterday hunting for y580.
Found out an interesting offer for y500: 15.6" FHD + 8GB RAM + 1TB HDD = rm2900 this one must be grey import set is it? I'm a bit confused actually. |

QUOTE(mrl @ Jan 15 2013, 03:12 PM) now, Lenovo Malaysia doesn't really have a Y500 set that doesn't come with extra GT650M I believe... if you can find one, high likely it's imported set... and it's cheaper than dual GT650M config. Grey import..is it bad?in terms of cooling, Y500 has better cooling design... Y580 is not that bad after you apply the workarounds... From my understanding, users are not entitled for 1-to-1 exchange. Plus, if it doesn't come with extra gt650m, better go for a single powerful gpu which is y580. Any other disadvantages? |

QUOTE(kuroneko0509 @ Jan 15 2013, 03:53 PM) the problem with imported ones lies in when claiming warranty. there's a user before unsuccessfully claim the warranty as service center requested the original receipt where as that user bought imported ones from a seller here & no such receipt... ..ended up spending more money to get the laptop repaired. Cheaper in price, not worth a peace of mind.For y580, lets say in the future i want to upgrade from 500gb to 1tb and adding up ssd, does it void the warranty? |

Most of sellers at LYP told me that the y580 model are now discontinued.
Anyone can confirm this? |

QUOTE(kuroneko0509 @ Jan 31 2013, 05:34 PM) go to pc settings -> general -> remove everything and reinstall windows (for disc-less) Will go through this later. Thanks! or you can just get iso online and reinstall as usual, given that you knew your serial QUOTE(Mclaren88 @ Feb 1 2013, 12:11 AM) bought my Y400 last friday at RM2650 with free 4GB ram upgrade. Where you bought at?Really happy with this laptop temperature n noise level. :-) Yah! Temp quite good. Bought CM Notepal U2 yesterday and can feel the differences. Going to stress test with straight 2 or 3 hours of gaming. |
