Well just got a Y580 but

Im using external keyboard, so the laptop screen will be in distance.

I never intend to buy FHD to see from far.

joke aside, higher ppi with FHD in 15" screen, lots of things does look smaller in it. Images looks crisps and all but still, i need to squint to get see the detail. Most website i need to scale 125% to get it viewable, at least for me.

Hi,
Anyone who bought original local set Lenovo Y580/Y480 will be entitled with 2 Years warranty.
You will need to send an email to ASEAN@lenovoreg.com with title "2 Years Local warranty registration MALAYSIA"
With the email content with your,
1) Laptop serial number found on the laptop box i.e. CB125321562
2) Exact date of purchase of your machine in following format: Dec 14th 2012
3) A clear snapshot/scanned copy of your invoice/receipt with Retailer's Chop

Lenovo will update your warranty data base from the date of your purchase instead of factory default date and, upgrade to 2 years warranty later.

Below is the sample email respond from Lenovo


Hope this would help fellow members here.

1) Yes. 640M is the older gen Y480. Latest is 650M
2) Assume you use Balanced Power Plan when u play game with battery, your machine will conserve battery energy by using internal graphic card only. Try change you power plan to High Performance, or in Lenovo Energy Management to highest available performance mode. Or, you may try play your game by right click the icon> Run with graphic processor> High performance NVIDIA processor

May i know the price that you bought?

The y480 you bought is pretty costly at release, at RM2999.
The shop had to sell it off at below cost assume they unable to finish their stock. http://static.lowyat.net/uploads/attach-19...-1342174978.jpg

Remember to redeem your 2 years warranty ya.

and....sry to burst your bubble. The headset came free as well for y480 with gt650m.

1) local set has 2 years warranty as opposed to 1 year.
2) possible warranty service screwed up due to none affiliated distributor (unsure since they claim its international warranty)
3) oversea set use US electrical plug, so need converter to be used here in malaysia
4) Different spec. I've seen sub rm2500 y580 but only in 1366x768 res, not Full HD.

Could be grey import set. Check their warranty period 1 year, and i do came across a thread where TS cant claim warranty due to grey imports.

Local set gives 2 years warranty.

Its the heat vent, sure it will be pretty hot.
