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!

Hi guys..y400 user reporting in!

At first i thought windows 8 is gonna be a real hassle since i never had my hands on it..never tried w8 before..ever... But then after installing the menu start button...ALL IS WELL.. lol...of course,certain things here and there that i still need to get used to...


quick question. I'm very new with mSATA SSDs..currently, my research about mSATA is still on-going. Still noob.. Just want to know some prices for the mSATAs. for 128gb or 256gb. I believe it is slightly more expensive than the normal SSD? Anyone who bought mSATAs can share the prices of it would be much appreciated....

Planning to put one in my y400 in the near future..

Thanks!
