Y500 lenovo user here. First day experience. 1 word. Excellence =)

Wa I thought Im the only person got problem with the Vsync. LOL... Downloading driver now

I updated to the latest Nvidia driver.

Dota 2:
The V-sync flicking bug had been solved.
Still got some bug when typing in game. Anyone has same problem like me?

It's like when you type in the chat, some weird graphic glitch appears. beside that, it's perfect.

i will check with other games see whether it's dota 2 only or graphic problem.

Guys. i think we all missed 1 very good function here. Actually Y500 and Y400 supports WiDI. But I cannot install the drivers... =(...

Picture lock feature as in the 3-4 fingers scroll down from the touchpad issit?

Qualcomm. But in the website as advertise, the WiDi feature should be available. that is what people complain about it.

Wow... very interesting... Im using it now.. xD!!

The only thing I hate about Y500 is that my palm unable to reach "y" key easily. It's beyond the bending area between elbow and palm.

I suggest you to get the SLI version. some come with GT 655, or single GT650. But Sli GT 650 is not very stable yet. Need more update from Nvidia.

You can purchase RAM by yourself. make sure it is 1600 then you will be fine. I added the RAM by myself. However, Lenovo Y500's back cover come in 1 set. Which means that you have to dissemble the whole back cover in order to install the RAM. You probably can find the tutorials online and it's not hard. xD

My one comes with Synaptics. So far no problem yet. Many Y500 and Y580 users complain about their touchpad malfunctioning but so far I dont have any problem with it.

No the Original window 8 64-bits come with the picture lock function

For Y500, standard one comes with 2 years Carry-in warranty. You need to register your product's warranty at lenovo's website. You need to attach your invoice with date and company's chop in order to register for warranty. So one thing you HAVE to be careful is that you need to make sure that there's a CHOP in your invoice.

Regardless to the hardware problem, as what i see in the community forum, most users have touchpad problems (but I dont have), so if you are the lucky one, you will get the good one. Then, Lenovo Y500 comes with different specs now. Some comes with Blu-Ray optical drive, some come with DVD drive (which means they are not GT650 SLI). depending on what you want.

The GT650 SLI is not that stable yet. Need to wait for Nvidia to release the latest drivers to solve the slacking and glitch problem in certain games, most identical one would be Dota 2. The vertical sync problem still remain unsolved yet.

2. 5934 - 9366

Did you overclock?

Which model are you talking about. So far for Lenovo Y500 the highest temperature i got is around 65C. Which is totally fine.

Nope. So far so good

Walao... If including these 2 and only cost RM2900. I think it's quite suspicious lo = =

So far la... Y500 no problem for me. Highest temperature i got is around 65C, Idle at 35C. Which is even better than Asus ROG Laptop.

About quality, Y500 is more beautiful than Y580. The curve at the back of the cover of Y500 is absolutely awesome, and the BackLit (Red color) at the keyboard is just nice.

The only problem is that, games which not supported by SLI might be the only weakness to Y500. And I think Nvidia will fix it.

Price wise : Y580
Gaming : Y500
Appearancee : Y500

Smooth for me too. average 70-100 fps. I have some glitch problem. You got?
