I think when they show you the unit, the box itself will prove is a local set or AP set. Usually you must see the description i guess. Y500 i saw someone selling RM 3500.

cz this is my first laptop~
spent months working to buy
thatx why feel very scare to buy the wrong set

Guys....I think I have the the keyboard problem, sometime it just freezed whenever I pressed it...sometimes automatically typed randsa1f5jkl;\om...see that...I didn't type that...I tried to find for the solution on Lenovo forum....seem that I'm not the only one...the solution they gave was to disabled the USB always on from the BIOS...tried that and it didn't work...any advice?
*
can we disable the keyboard input but leave the backlit on
and den we plug in external keyboard?

I have no problem with my y400 build quality but I notice the LCD display used for Y400 is of lower grade compared to my Sister's OLD DELL Inspiron 1440.. -cutting cost practice.
*
lower grade as in how ?
the colour ?
or something~

i think for video rendering stuff
processor is more important than graphic card~
both y580 n y500 are using the same processor
so i think either one cn perform within ur expectation

as for graphic card~
y500 sli most probably will win y580
but den~
since its not for gaming but for rendering
it won bother u much~

i think the main thing that u shud consider is the cooling gua~
which y500 is outperforming y580~

btw
good luck in finding y580~

i intend to buy y580 oso~
but
those in the market are mostly imported unit~
im not confident with the warranty~
so i will be buying y500~
for d beauty~
for d cooling~
for d graphic cardsss~
haha

isnt the y500 supposed to be the successor? I read that it has a lot of problems but it does not have the heat problem in y580
*
i tot the main prob with y580 is oway the heat issue? rclxub.gif
some sifu shift the hdd to odd in order to improve the heat dissipation?


QUOTE(xDragonZ @ Feb 12 2013, 08:06 PM)
Okay thanks for your information, maybe I'll get Y500 too but its too expensive currently and the battery life is around 3 hours

How about ASUS-N56VZ (i7)? did you compare too? seems not bad also.  hmm.gif

EDIT : found this http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Lenovo...ok.87585.0.html for anyone who wanted to know more info about Y500
*
i like design of n56 too~
but den~
asus warranty is the main drawback ~
besides
d graphic card cannot compare to y500 orrhxx~

thatx why i didnt put it in the consideration list~
