Hi silly question here , if I were to buy from the Lenovo US ONLINE website for y500 it doesn't include the extra ultra bay graphic card right ? And there is a new year promo going on now so should I buy from there or buy from Malaysia ? What about the warranty and stuff if I buy from us ? Pls help tq !

QUOTE(Unomi @ Jan 17 2013, 10:46 AM) Hey there, y500 ftw bro ! for me so far no problems. apparently there are some touchpad problems but mine feels fine. only downside i would say is the battery life Im planning to get Lenovo y500 or 580, After reading the previous post, found out that y580 have wifi problem. What about y500, im planning to get the SLI version. Is it a good buy? or any cons about the laptop, the specification and price looks tempting. Is certainly comparable in alienware laptops (Certain price range). cant tahan for long ! other than that the sli card works like a charm and powered all my games beautifully ! try not to get windows 8 tho :/ imo windows 8 seriously sucks... |

QUOTE(onizukaeikichi @ Feb 13 2013, 11:23 PM) Guys Im about to buy a y580 but I am just checking out on the y500. 1) malaysia set already comes bro you can get for rm 3.5kDear y500 users, 1)Does the y500 already come with 2 GT650 or its optional upgrade with the ultrabay? (dumb question >.<) 2)I heard that the vents are on the right so hot air blows on the mouse hand, got any problem? I, for one find the red keyboard distracting but can get used to. However, it has superior cooling compared to y580 but a lot of ppl say the heating issue is nothing. Thanks 2) yes if you are right handed and if you play games with the BOTH GPUs turned on for me the heating is not that great but its satisfactory i believe its better if you get a cooler pad |
