Hi Guys,
I just saw this on the Lenovo Forum.
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-...RY/td-p/1113853

Basically, there is a problem on the Y series motherboards. If you were to use the Lenovo energy management system 8.0 & do a full charge & discharge cycle for the battery, the battery would stop charging.

Better read through.

So this problems doesn't affect everyone. It looks like mostly for the Y500 series & earlier though.

Lenovo Malaysia website darn farnee. Y510P is already being sold for the past 2 weeks & they still don't list it on their website. Maybe they need a new web admin.

hi guys..i planning to get a lenovo Y510P local set that comes with a single GT750M which suits my budget .. would it be good enough to play COD,BF3..etc?

do i need to add msata, RAM , change HDD to SSD..etc to make it perform better?

i've watched a lot of video on youtube stated that its a good gaming notebook since they are using US spec that packs with 16GB RAM +24GB SSD + dual SLI GT750M during the review..i think thats y they said it a good notebook

im noob on this..please advise

Should be enough. No problem. I'm not sure on local spec, but so far 8GB RAM is enough for gaming. I would recommend 8GB, but if you are a careful user (e.g not multitasking, no chrome in the background while gaming) people report 4GB is still enough, but I would recommend at least 8GB...

SSD will only make the laptop boots faster and games loads faster. I find normal mechanical HDD is good enough, but if you it is too slow and have extra money, why not...

OK i'm torn between partitioning my HDD and losing OneKey recovery and not partitioning and potentially losing future data.

Can someone break this tie breaker for me? Help me decide to either keep OneKey Recovery or partition out my HDD

Hi Tuyin,

Which model is yours? Y510P?
Another let down is according to Devour, even though the Y510P have a M.2 slot available, no connector is installed, so cannot install a M.2 SSD later. Not sure if this is true for all the Malaysian Y510P.

Timkai Lenovo, timkai?!?

Since you mentioned that you are waiting, can I assume that you have faced this problem & your laptop is currently being repaired by Lenovo? If so, could you post a report on how their service is like. Hopefully nowhere near as bad as the Asus Service Center.

Just receive some new stock from Lenovo today and figure out that Lenovo now giving out a new bag for 15.6" Laptop like Y500/Y510P


Bag issue is now a history
