yup, 2.5"

Guys,

Just bought Y510p. Loving the laptop.

However, is it normal that the gaming performance drops down so bad when not charging?

Is there any way to enable the nVIDIA gpu to be used while not being charged through outlet?

Coz it's kinda useless if need to use the laptop for gaming, need to be plugged in power cord..

Is is the same case for other gaming laptops?

try setting in the control panel, to set which gc to run when open the application. or set the universal gc to nvidia instead of intel 4600 in default.

You need the power adapter to run the laptop to full performance. I think Lenovo knows their capacity is not that big and limit the performance so that you wont run out of juice while gaming...

I did that bro,

But still it uses the Intel whenever it is not charging.

Do u have the same laptop, and does it works if you did as per your suggestion?

oh sorry bro because i always plug in the charger due to my work demands. so i didnt experience that. I heard that unplug charger will affect the performance of gc but never try that. sorry. and i did the setting as mentioned but my laptop is always with charger. bro maybe u need other sifu's opinion. sorry

No problem..

Hey when u say u plug in the charger all the time, what's the best way to prevent from the laptop to be spoiled easily?

Do u put on the battery or not while putting the charger on?

I usually use the lenovo power management thingy to lengthen the battery life (stop charging at 60%). I dont know what theory is behind it but so far it does looks like it works...

but it is actually best practice to remove your battery when not using it (either to charge or powering the laptop) as the heat from the laptop can actually destroy your battery faster.

Guys, does Y500 have msata slot?
It seems 256gb ssd is not enough for me. =.=

Guys. can anyone teach me how to install intel rapid start technology on my Seagate SSHD?

yes..have msata slot

Thanks!

I'm in dilemma now.
Either i add msata or replace my SSD with WD Black 2 Dual Drive.

guys in singapore where can i look for y410p and y510p?

hey guys, I've performed a windows 7 clean install on my Lenovo y580. Everything seems fine but not the wireless LAN adapter.

Windows 7 device manager says the 'Network Controller' has error. Tried to uninstall and re-install the Intel WLAN drivers a few already but still the same.

WLAN on BIOS is enabled. Also, turn on WLAN using Fn+F5. Anybody seen this problem before?

Can anybody share/upload your y580 WLAN driver for Win7 64-bit? Thanks in advance.

You sure it's Intel's WLAN? AFAIK Malaysian set is using Broadcom (IINM). Try all the wlan driver in Lenovo's website, one should hit...

I got a Y410p and I am having the same error. I tried all the drivers on Lenovo's site and its not working at all.

What are the specific Broadcom chips does Lenovo Malaysia uses?

Hye all, i think im gonna buy the y410 this weekend at digital mall pj, mind telling me the current price of this laptop?? Thnks
