z580 is for normal notebook, but is heavier if compare with s56 because it is ultrabook, so sure is slim and lighter

Don't be confused  tongue.gif
Easiest is to go out and look at the real thing laugh.gif
Components (GPU, HDD, ODD, cooling fan ... ) that come in ultrabay form factor is very easy to swap in / out the laptop. No screw. The release lever is very similar to normal laptop battery.

Y500 and Y400 each has 1 ultrabay slot.
When Lenovo Malaysia released Y500, the ultrabay slot is filled with a ultrabay GPU (another GT650M). If you check out some foreign sales site, you could find Y500 which ultrabay slot standard spec is filled with a ultrabay ODD).
When Lenovo Malaysia released Y400, the ultrabay slot is filled with a ultrabay ODD. (As far as I know, so far, no where in the world you can find a ultrabay GPU for Y400. Lenovo is expected to release ultrabay GPU and other ultrabay accessories for Y400 this year).

Ultrabay slot is nothing new. Thinkpad has it for a long long time. What is new is GPU in ultrabay that can run in SLI  thumbup.gif

yea you are right, anything just ask the seller there instead ask you guys right whistling.gif

but I wonder which shop in LYP got selling them, as I know LYP seems quite less shop selling lenovo laptop sad.gif

Hi, there... ^w^
Could i get some recommendation on laptop.
a bit about me:
-Software programming student(still studying)
-hard grind gamer(could reach 12 hours in total per day)
-anime lover ^ adds more time to the above mentioned

1. Preferably Asus
2. Budget: 3000-4000 but would very much like something  below 3000
3. For multiple programming, Gaming. At most as for now is Skyrim or Dragon Nest.
4. Bigger is better, since having multiple windows running over one time during coding is a bother to find another monitor biggrin.gif
My current laptop is the Acer Aspire 4736 though i wonder if i sell it with a broken graphics card to a trade in / buy old shop...would they take it for a high price?
Anyway, Thanks in advance...looking forward for your reply ^w^
