TIPS

1. Registering the 2 years warranty (applicable to local Y480/580/400/500):
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


2. Local vs AP set (warranty) whistling.gif :

1st case:
QUOTE(ytlay @ Feb 26 2013, 09:14 PM)
This is the major warranty claims issues on grey imported set from US reported in local Lenovo facebook as quoted below. Pity her got the bad apple and experience the major warranty claims issues.  sweat.gif

So, please be very careful and don't get poison by those good deals of the grey imported set (AP set) from US.   drool.gif rclxub.gif
It will save your hassle and headace during warranty claims.   cry.gif  vmad.gif

For those who owned the AP set, pray hard that you are lucky and nothing go wrong with your lappy.  laugh.gif

Lenovo Malaysia:
"Hi Ms Radhika, sorry for the delay. I have intended to contact you as soon I was able to speak to the reseller who sold you the U300 but was unable to since their number was not reachable, however, in the process, dialled your brother's number which was written in the purchase invoice (thinking it could be the salesman's contact number) and I have spoken to him with regards to the management disposition on this case.

Lenovo management has decided that we will not be able to support your request for a replacement or refund because this machine is a US based machine. The dealer who sold you the unit is not an authorized Lenovo reseller. I have tried to contact the reseller but to no avail, in order to advise them the situation and for them to liase with you with regards to the solution that they may be able to offer you. I suggest that you walk in to the reseller's office if you also fail to reach them via telephone and bring up this issue to them.

Although Lenovo is an international company, the services that we render is subjected to the company's local policy and at the same time governed by Lenovo International Term & Condition.

For your existing U300 which are still at our service center, we will finish up the repair but there won't be any more warranty repair should any issue surfaces after this. "

2nd case:
QUOTE(skan1 @ Jan 8 2013, 12:37 AM)
Seller doesn't have original receipt for the laptops she purchased.

I bought 2 units from the seller above. One broke down in 18 days.

She told me to sent it in for warranty despite I want a replacement from her.

Nevermind , I agreed with her. Now Lenovo did not fix anything and sent me back a faulty unit. This part is not her fault.

But IBM Service Center offered me a chance of a replacement unit. However, they needed the official receipt.

I contacted fie. She replied me that she doesn't have any official receipt.

Laptop buyers beware. I just want to state to you all what I have gone through for 1 month.

She will try to reassured you but words are just words, she just does nothing and is only INTERESTED IN UR MONEY.

my word of advice to all of u , get from a store which has the official receipt.

Yup, of course you need to backup bios before proceed :3
Since flash mod-bios and flash backup bios (your original bios) is the same.

Same as the ultrabay gpu, you can flash back. It's the same.

BUT! Please place back your default wifi-card if you change it. If not will cause error due white-list.

NEVER EVER lose your backup bios because it contains all laptop documents, windows 8 product key, etc.

Once you mod your bios, you need throttle stop (an application from tech inferno) then untick pdprochot then ok already :3

i think next time need to apply thermal paste (good ones) pretty soon although some people said it's doable :/

Agree. OC is not suitable for mobile systems. Cramp spaces and heat dont go along well.. even cooling pad dont provide significant cooling for laptops. But that's just my 2 cents.. want to oc? buy a desktop system.

Hey guys, im a 1 week owner of Y400/GT750M.

any of you know any resellers (besides storm88, devour and hikari85) that would sell me Crucial M4 msata 128gb and help me install it with migrating my windows over it?

I really don't understand why won't they do it even if i pay sad.gif

i have installed Nvidia driver but i m not able to install the intel (HD) display driver, a msg pop out saying that computer doesnt meet the requirement to install this program.

Hey guys, may I ask how the Lenovo Y400 perform is these section.
Sound - Is it nice, loud and clear? How does it compare to Y500?
Screen - How is the colour produced and viewing angle?
Keyboard - Is typing good? The keyboard itself feels good?
Trackpad - Is using the trackpad as good as a MacBook or slightly worse or better?
And finally, can you guys managed to get 4 hours+ on this laptop on full charge without secondary GPU?

Dear all,

Hi all, If I used the one key recovery to do factory reset, do I need to reinstall all the driver or the driver will be already installed? TQ

Hello, from what I've observed from the comments of Y400 vs Y500
Sound - Same quality, JBL speakers seems to produce a pretty high audio quality for a laptop.
Screen - Different quality, Y500 has a Full HD screen (1920x1080) while Y400 has a HD screen(1366x768) only.
Keyboard - Same quality, quite decent.
Trackpad - Same quality, terrible trackpad but still usable.

As for battery runtime for 650m SLI for Y500, couldn't find one for Y400, here is the statistic from checknotebook
-Idle (without WLAN, min brightness): 4h 04min
-Surfing with WLAN: 3h 10min
-Load (maximum brightness): 1h 27min
If I remember correctly, the battery runtime will have additional 20% increase only without second GPU.
Considering, Y series does not support Optimus, the runtime is fairly high compared to other gaming laptop, however this is only achievable because the laptop GPU is throttled automatically to the point where gaming is impossible due to insanely low FPS when using battery.

Hope this info helps ^^

Hello everybody,

I'm thinking of buying this laptop. Can any of you tell me about your experiences with it?

Specifically I'm looking for information about warranty as well as how cool it runs. I'll be doing moderate gaming. Probably HoN and Dragon Age, Sim City, and when the new GTA comes out, GTA5.

I'm looking for a workhorse, something that will be on all the time.

EDIT: Specifically I was looking for information of the y400.

Price and spec of this laptop is great. You will not find anything at this price with the same spec. very versatile and great build quality. No regrets buying my Y500 till now.

Conclusion; great spec, great value for money what more can you ask?

Suggest u to get upcoming Y500/GT750m selling around RM28xx with bigger and better full HD screen, better cooling to suite ur needs. If ur budget is tight, then get Y400/GT750m/freeDOS selling around 23xx and use extra cash for CM u2 or u3 cooler, mSATA SSD to improve system responsiveness, upgrade to 3 yrs onsite warranty. smile.gif

Yeap, Y500 with GT750m sli is the best for those who can afford. For those with tight budget, can get basic model Y500 with single card GT750m, later can add swappable graphic card(GT750m) & 170w adapter when available for performance boost. smile.gif

For new Y400/GT750m, probably no optional swappable GT750m as no where to be seen around the web. hmm.gif

Sigh then it would be a grey set cause Lenovo Malaysia only sell the Y500 with SLI only. I would recommend getting a local set cause it is quite a huge investment.

But that is my opinion since its always up to the buyer to decide.

If I'm not wrong, if u wish to change to intel wifi, u need to:
- get the intel wifi card compatible with Lenovo model.
- flashed modded bios to remove the wlan whitelist, pls check with Aisheep

if you follow instructions given, you will not bye bye to your laptop.

As long you BACKUP your bios, you can revert back. Not so big deal.

Flashing only takes like 15 minutes or less and it is reversible. What you need is a 4 Gb pendrive make it bootable into MS-DOS. Type few commands :3

Try it will not harm your computer, what you need is a steady calm mind to read instructions :3

mess up the BIOS, your laptop will not boot anymore... backing up BIOS is useful if you somehow don't like the new BIOS but it's useless if you somehow messed up the flashing procedure and your laptop becomes a super-duper-expensive-paper-weight, thus the saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

but nowadays, the only way I can think of to get the flashing procedure wrong is by having the power supply interrupted while flashing, so as long as you good battery running in your laptop no need to worry much... Other than that, maybe if you're using removable drive to store the flashing utilities, make sure it won't get removed accidentally... got this covered, usually not much can mess you up....

the power supply interruption always haunts me when I'm flashing new BIOS on desktops since I dont have UPS and there's no guarantee the power in my house going to be ok...

Try Googling for GTA 4 issues on Win8...

The solution offered worked for me periodically... Basically you're required to update GFWL and RSGC but some hiccups may still occur.

Hi Guys, my laptop is DOS Y400, and waiting for my msata drive(128GB).

Currently windows n software occupied 80GB of my 500gb hdd.

Is it possible to move windows and all of it content to msata after i installed it?

If possible, what are the step needed?

Hope that sifu here can help.

Thank you.

Sorry for a noob question. hmm.gif

Can the Lenovo Y400 keyboard be fitted and used on Lenovo Y480? Because I want to find a replacement, and I've tested my friend's Y400 laptop keyboard and it seems that it's better than Y480 keyboard. Or is it just mine is faulty one? sweat.gif

Did anyone here having 2 years international warranty on their Y400? I bought 1 from Hikari85, free DOS version, she said mine is eligible for 2 years international warranty and I need to register online, problem is Lenovo Malaysia don't provide international warranty on their ideapad series.

yes, all Malaysian unit got 2 years warranty..if u check at Lenovo site using ur serial number, u only see 1 year = base warranty, starting from the manufactured date (not ur date of purchased)..u can email Lenovo to change the starting warranty date & extend 1 more year..so u can get total 2 years warranty..hope this can help nod.gif

I'm not really quite sure but i think the folder contain One Key Recovery Folder.. Not sure wat it use for.. Last 2 nite i delete the partition D but keep the hidden partition, then reinstall windows using usb live.. Then install back the One Key Recovery.. When I press the button OKR, show menu but cant link to the hidden partition(which contain pre-installed windows n driver).. So, I guess there are something in the partition D (D:/App/...forgot what name) that link it to the hidden partition so that can use the OKR.. Seem like the OKR is useless without the file in partition D.. sad.gif

For nvidia control panel, u just have to set "Maximize 3D performance" for SLI configuration.
The EVGA SLI Enhancement just a patch that help nvidia to synchronize both graphic card clock for optimization usage. Will attach picture soon. smile.gif

i think lenovo recovery doesn't works with windows 8 (not sure bout this one)...
as for lenovo theater, basically it's a software from lenovo that adjust your laptop (sound & screen colour) depending on whether you wanted to watch movies or play games... there are differences between the modes that i realized when i'm using it before

Firstly, I'm not a lenovo technician or what...
Second, The One-Key recovery partition may have been deleted when you installed Windows 8 Pro.
You may try re-partition the HDD as default then OKR should work.

I think you can't, unless you use 3rd party software or windows to make recovery the OKR is R.I.P after install new windows.

Apparently, this feature for those shipped with windows. :/

You would have to order the recovery disks from Lenovo

(**If I give wrong information, please correct me**)

In order to utilize the features of OneKey Recovery, your hard disk already includes a hidden partition that stores a system mirror image file and the OneKey Recovery program files. This default partition is hidden for security reasons and is the reason your computer's available hard disk space is less than it claims. The exact amount of available hard drive space depends on the file size of the mirror image file (based on the size of the operating system and the pre-installed software.)
You can use the Restore from Initial Backup feature to restore the system partition (C drive) back to the initial state. However, once you restore to this status, you are not able to restore the system to another previously backed up state. Therefore, make sure you back up your critical data on the system partition (C drive) to other media, such as another disk partition or removable storage devices.

Somehow my whole harddisk partition is gone, anyone know who to get back win8 and OKR?

Edit : Manage to get back Windows8 Single License from empty partition by creating recovery drive from my desktop that use Windows 8 Pro. (I try to clean install Win8 Pro from ISO to Lenovo laptop it won't allow, I think the license is locked to bios and license/version does not match) and after recover with Recovery drive I go to my laptop then go to PC setting, reset PC and it ask me to insert recovery disc, so I insert my recovery disc and manage to get back Win8SL.

Now same issue with you..

Not sure we can use the option from "control panel -> recovery -> recover drive" and create a an image with hidden partition for OKR for the harddisk then restore back to laptop or not.

So now the missing stuff is OKR.. If anyone willing to meet up let me copy your lenovo y400/y500 OS image? I will pay you.

Yea, it's quite big (min 20-30GB). That's the reason I plan to find someone who can meet up in some places such as McD and I pay you and I create system image and transfer to my laptop then I do PC reset, then all docs/installed programs will be removed.

For anyone want to try you can use "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows 7 File Recovery" then create a system image.

I already try to recover back the OKR so that it's functioning like the factory setting. Check on the file on hidden partition, I found that for OKR to work, it will need the exact boot sector for Partition Windows7_OS / Windows8_OS and the hidden partition as well. So if u want to delete the partition, Dont delete the LENOVO partition and make sure u make a backup image for Windows7_OS or Windows8_OS partition just in case u want to restore the OKR. OKR doesnot work when u try to resize the partition Windows7_OS or Windows8_OS. Once u resize the partition C (Windows7_OS or Windows8_OS) and reinstall the OKR, OKR doesn't work. So, if u want u restore the OKR, resize to original partition of C then restore from your backup image of factory setting Windows(Make sure u have your backup first image!!!). Hope this you guys out there.

I'm getting tired of restoring the OKR link now. Doesnt work at all. I already try to repartition both C and D, and everything just fail. So, Lenovo user with OKR dont even try to delete your partition D and MAKE BACKUP IMAGE for your C before install 'custom' windows or your own windows (watever u want) or proceeding with resize the partition C. U can hide the partition D after u install ur custom windows using PowerQuest Partition Table Editor (If the partition make u uncomfortable when u open My Computer sweat.gif ) and unhide it back when u want to set the laptop back to factory setting. It doesnt damage the partition at all. I used this software as well to hide my "privacy things" in there tongue.gif

Hope this help rclxub.gif

Guys, good news for who want to get back OKR 8.0 on their partition. I found OKR (Without OS) and With Lenovo Win8 OS ISO files.

http://kbdl.lenovo.com.cn/qiuml/OKR/WIN8_O..._OS)_130106.iso

http://kbdl.lenovo.com.cn/qiuml/OKR/WIN8_O...STD)_130109.iso

But the above link only can use Thunder Downloader to download. If you don't want use TD try google the ISO and use others link to download. If anyone want to ISO I will try upload to site such as box or mediafire once I finish download.

Edit :

hi guys... my Y400 temps when Dota 2 on Max settings, AA off.

Attached Image

although it's a powerhouse, it's a little too hot for me sad.gif
with such temps, dunno this laptop can last me 3-4 years or not unsure.gif

Edit:
Air-con room: 24C
Elevated the back of laptop for better cooling. no notebook cooler.
palm rest gets uncomfortably hot

You mean GPU drivers release?
You don't need to flash modified BIOS, just download from Nvidia Website.

Modified BIOS, is to remove WLAN whitelist and Enable OC GPU (Both Ultrabay and Main GPU)

Does anyone having a problem that sometimes u want to wake ur screen from black (auto turn off screen after 20mins i think),
the screen keep blinking, show then off then show then off keep repeat when i move my mouse or press a key on keyboard, if i dont press key or move mouse, it will become black again.. ( edit: the current method i used to solve this problem is just slowly move my mouse and shutdown it, after reboot everythings go well again.)

Hey guys... unsure.gif

I started up my laptop as usual this morning and came to realise that the speakers are not producing any sound at all... Plugged in my headset and there's sound coming out but the speakers are not.

Speakers dead..? What gives~? Common issue or...??? unsure.gif icon_question.gif

Edit : Nevermind, reinstalled audio driver and gave the speaker a good whacking and it's back to normal again... Phew~ sweat.gif

Hmm, I got a 3 years free for McAfee,  should I use it or better get a free avg will do? Any comment on this?
Beside avg, is there any free anti virus and spyware software that is free and good currently??

Give me free-for-life McAfee, I still won't use it... I've had enough of it on my office's laptop (and IT won't allow me to remove it mad.gif )

I won't recommend AVG if you want to go free... but Defender/MSE is good as well... if you still not confident in them, you can always use Avira or Comodo. I've used Avira, pretty good but somewhat annoying because exception doesn't really work last time I tried... Comodo, never used it but heard it's good...

nowadays, I just rely on Defender/MSE. laugh.gif

i don't think that there'll be y500 with haswell processor... as the one that will come equipped with it is y410p instead of y400, so most probably y510 will be exist

I use mouse on laptops + good graphics, i dont really play FB games... so... no need touch screen IMO

Z400 is more suitable for  u smile.gif

not sure about Z400, Y400 has red backlight kb

here's my take...

1. hard to predict, but expect these lenovo will need to be replaced as early as 2 years, as late as 3 years.
2. I would suggest Y400 for this, unless graphics capability is really not that important for you.
3. Touch on Win8 are most welcomed, but I would say on a laptop like these? touch is not important... probably you'll use touchpad more than the screen
4. light and not bulky, don't know how it goes comparing both Z400 and Y400... but expect Z500 to be bulky and heavier. I would recommend either Z400 or Y400 if size is an issue.
5. I dont know about Z400.
6. I'll prefer larger screen, smaller will need some time to get used to for me coz I'm from desktop scene. but if you're from laptop area, 14" should be good enough. Larger doesn't mean better as well, usually larger screen comes with FullHD and you won't game with FullHD anyway with that graphics. So maybe smaller will reduce the aliasing (I think...), but really... it boils down to your preference.

1. Depends on how you treat it... My old Acer junk still working since '08. My AW died after serving me since '09 a month back, hence my decision to acquire the Y500 in the first place.

2. Casual gamer..? Define your level of 'casual' as I know of some friends who are casual gamers as well but they emphasise on either the visual aspect or the game or just the fun of it. So sorry there mate, hard to pinpoint casual from my POV here.

3. Personally I don't see the point of touchscreen on lappies. Sure, it's nice to have but it's NOT exactly a necessity. It's obviously needed on tabs and little slabs we call as smartphones but on a laptop..? Nah, we already have a physical keyboard and external mouse for gaming already.

4. You can't go wrong with the Y400 with that budget of yours. nod.gif

5. Heck, I don't even find my Y500 to be bulky at all. It's a major improvement from my old M15x which was a friggin' block of mass.

6. I know Y has it, others I've yet to look on.

7. Depends on your personal preference. Some like it small and compact, some like it big. Keep in mind that bigger screen tend to put a little more load on your GPU as it'll have to cover the pixel real estate. But with today's standards of the GPU, it's not really that noticeable.

tldr : Your own cash, go "test drive" some demo units before deciding. brows.gif

can you guys gimme a bit recommendation on which model should i take..

Q:I want a long lasting laptop?
A:Depends on your usage, and your unit (Touch Wood). Just take good care of your unit

Q:I'm a casual gamer...
A:If you want something future proof Get Y400/Y500, who knows you might game on some intensive MMO's, FPS with your friends. If you are fond to play browser games, get a Z400.

Q:Does touch screen really matter or just a marketing gimmick??
A:Depends on users perspective, let's say you download games from Microsoft Market Store and play Cut The Rope, Angry Birds. Drawing on top of the display like an artist... biggrin.gif. (Unless you go for Yoga).  Since, many people have used to the traditional usage of using laptops. Personally, I don't think you will enjoy touch your display. You might damage the laptop hinges :/

Q:Budget around 2.5K but can topup lil bit..
A:Then go get Y400 or Z400 (If you want 1080p, get the latest Y500) :3

Q:Light and not bulky design is most welcomed biggrin.gif
A:Y400/Y500 looks slim for a SLi Laptop (DTR)biggrin.gif

Q:All those model got backlit keyboard right??
A:As I know, only Y400/Y500 have the red colour back-lit.

Q:Large screen better or not??
A:Larger screen give better view on Movies, YouTube and Gaming on Full Screen. Since, most of the laptops comes with 1080p standard. (I mean 15.6 inch laptops). Of course, 720p do look good on a 14 inch :3

Guys wanna ask, what's the difference between our local set of y400 and us set y400. It seems like us set got better specs. If US set, will there be any problem if I wanna claim warranty later? Or should I just buy the local Malaysia set?

let's see....

- Major warranty claim issues on imported set((AP set) of Y580 face by unlucky forumer.
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2491914/+930
Case 1) Replied from Lenovo Malaysia in their facebook for the user who bought the imported set (AP set) quoted below:
Lenovo Malaysia:
"Hi Ms Radhika, sorry for the delay. I have intended to contact you as soon I was able to speak to the reseller who sold you the U300 but was unable to since their number was not reachable, however, in the process, dialled your brother's number which was written in the purchase invoice (thinking it could be the salesman's contact number) and I have spoken to him with regards to the management disposition on this case.

Lenovo management has decided that we will not be able to support your request for a replacement or refund because this machine is a US based machine. The dealer who sold you the unit is not an authorized Lenovo reseller. I have tried to contact the reseller but to no avail, in order to advise them the situation and for them to liase with you with regards to the solution that they may be able to offer you. I suggest that you walk in to the reseller's office if you also fail to reach them via telephone and bring up this issue to them.

Although Lenovo is an international company, the services that we render is subjected to the company's local policy and at the same time governed by Lenovo International Term & Condition.

For your existing U300 which are still at our service center, we will finish up the repair but there won't be any more warranty repair should any issue surfaces after this. "
this should help in factoring your choice of getting local or AP set

I don't have DoTA 2 but it should have SLi profile for it. Since 310.XX got already.

otherwise try this

Force SLI on games.

Nvidia Control Pannel > 3D Settings >

Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration = Single display performance mode
Power Management Mode = Prefer Maximum Performance
SLI rendering mode = Force Alternate frame rendering 2
Vertical Sync = Off

What did u chose when installing the driver? Clean install or overwrite?


I experienced tearing when on SLi for Dota2 only.
Other games went smoothly.

Btw, what "Force Alternate frame rendering 2" do?

Clean Install is the better option, normally i choose overwrite (I'm LAZY)

BTW, force alternate frame rendering means where each video card will take turns rendering a single frame by itself.

Alternatively, you can try the patch which one forumer post long time ago to improve synchronization of 2 GPUs.

IF you still facing tearing, DoTA 2 settings should have Vertical Sync, enable it to prevent tearing.

Just enable the v-sync to avoid screen tearing.
It is because the screen of y500 is only 60hz, it can't catch up with 60fps and above.

LoL. I once overwrite (forgot which version), until my fifa13 cannot start. Need to uninstall the driver and install it clean.

Improve sync of SLi? Is it the "EVGA"?

v-sync enabled, but it doesn't remove entirely the tearing. Just a bit.
The tear only happens when i activate SLi for the game. If i choose 1 GPU, then everything's ok.

Though i can see the diff between SLi and single GPU, 10fps diff.
With SLi averaging at 60fps, and single GPU at 50fps and below.

Normal displays has refresh rate of 60Hz... if the picture on your screen is changing more than 60 times per second (the 60Hz) the image will tear because the graphic card and monitor is not in sync and the image on monitor is updated parts by parts which cause the tearings.

So, V-sync will wait for new data for whole screen before telling graphic card it can send to monitor. Since monitor can only show 60 screens in 1 second, so the framerate by graphic card will be limited to 60. Since the update is now image of whole screens instead of parts by parts the tearing is eliminated.

I know this is pretty much oversimplified, but that's more or less how it works.

guys I just bought my y400, free dos.

When i got back home, I tried to install my ehem2 windows 7, and once i finished install it, i put the drivers cd to install the drivers for my laptop hardware. Unfortunately when it comes to VGA, i cannot install the nvidia GPU. It kept saying "Install Cannot Continue: This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware." I kept trying for few times and its still the same, which I cant install my GT750M. Did anyone experience the same problem as me? Please help. Im very dissapointing now. Is it because my set is defect or something? Or this GT750M only compatible Windows 8? Please help me guys.

So that mean it is better to use vsync. Normally i always found monitor with 60hz. Neva more than that. I think 60 fps is already good isnt it? Vsync helps gpu less burden am i rite

I tried to find the driver at Nvidia website and even Lenovo website, but still cant find any of GT750m driver. Please advise me on how to handle this issue. Its a very dissapointing coz I cannot fully utilize my laptop performance.

Just trying to help here. i went to Lenovo's website and found this y500/y400 malaysia driver page

If the latest drivers here can't work then may I suggest you buy original Windows then ask Lenovo SC to help install for you.

Not necessarily... V-sync also depends a lot on how the game is programmed as well... it can cause micro-stutter (e.g in Hitman Absolution)... it also can cause less responsive inputs (casual gamers might not mind, but competitive players always complains about this)... and I don't think V-sync helps to reduce the GPU loads, instead it can cause the load to increase and reducing the framerate... You should try first and see if it cause any trouble... if it makes you more uncomfortable than screen tearing, just disable V-sync... I disabled it in Hitman Absolution simply because the micro-stutter actually bothers me more than screen tearing...

As for the monitor, normally monitor comes with 60Hz... but some rare-breed expensive gaming monitors does comes with 120Hz (which usually compatible with nVidia 3DVision)

If I'm not mistaken, GT750M doesn't have official driver right now... So you are left with no options except the one included in the CD... the driver probably a modified version by Lenovo for early support... so, all you can do is either wait for the official driver by nVidia, or change the OS to the compatible version...

When i install windows 8, i face the same problem as you when i install the gt750 driver from drivers cd "Nvidia installer cannot continue, this graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware". But after that, i tried to download the gt750 driver from Lenovo Support under VIDEO section then download the NVDIA driver. And now it works fine for me without any issues. Btw, im currently using windows 7 with gt750 driver that download from lenovo site installed and using it without any issues. Hope this will help you. smile.gif

yes it does but its a different one from the one used in the y500 (same GPU). How come you did not get the one with the gt 750m?

i didnt know there was a Y500 when i bought the Y400.. sweat.gif i was rushing to buy it as well..in replace of my broken down Asus G55VW which i broke one week ago.. impulse buying without thinking, but the lenovo Y Series impress me very much with its removable bay allows the user to swap according to ones need. Loved the Red keyboard light up..much better than my previous laptop.. and most of all its damn not heavy like G55VW 4kg weight..like a tank that one...

this Y400 will be my good friend when i travel back to work most of the time traveling and i do enjoy my gaming as well smile.gif thanks for the clarification on the dual gpu..it would be cool to see two gpu's running at the same time ( ishoulhave bought Y500)

Well enjoy your y400. It does have a 2nd GPU, just I was trying to highlight that its not the same one as the y500. Seems the ultrabay design is different for both the y400 and y500. Last I check when I was buying my y500, the ultrabay GPU for the y400 cost rm700+.

700+? wow. quite hefty. tongue.gif

i'm wondering whether should I buy that or not too. the performance will be increasing much?

btw, i'm using notepal u3 but my y400 is still kinda hot. 60-65 celcius when i used it in the afternoon. hmm.gif

night time, it's still good. 55-60 celcius. hmm.gif

Ya blame it on the weather these few days/weeks. The price is high cause the ultrabay GPU comes with another 170w power supply. You will need it when running both GPU. Not sure about y400 but my y500 when running on batt the GPU clock speed is cap (SLI). You only get full performance when running on mains.

The amazing thing is I can play games on my 51" TV via HDMI (I play World of tanks) in full HD while getting great frame rates.

Currently no complains so far for my y500. Hope the same is true for your y400 ya. Enjoy it biggrin.gif

ya, the stupid weather is totally making me rclxub.gif

when running in SLI more, all games are supporting it? read a few pages back that dota2 has no luck on it? hmm.gif

when you're running games in FHD, all effects are max? 650 SLI?

Oh, thank you for your explanation! But what about micro-stuttoring. How we experience this.

You'll notice this if you have experienced smooth 60FPS before.

When a game is running 60FPS as measured by any software capable of doing this, the game is running real smooth... Under micro-stuttering situation the animation is measured to be 60fps, however it's not as smooth as it should be...

Check with www.geforce.com to see if your game is supported ya. Ya mine is gt650m. You can download geforce experience to get the recommended settings for your games from nvidia, but I tweak the settings so I can balance the frame rates with graphics quality. BTW y500 is a full HD screen therefor my settings are the same running from the laptop monitor or my TV.

I think you can't run games on max settings cause even though this is running in SLI (depending on which games), there is a limitation for mobile GPU when compared to the desktop equivalent. When compared to other notebooks the Y series easily beat them in terms of spec and price. Only gripe I have is the build quality, it could be better (when compared to alienware & other gaming laptops).

Both y400 and y500 comes with a single card variant. But with 2 GPU the cooling is well design and can handle the heat. You will get hot air (sometimes very hot) coming from the vents but the keyboard and palm rest only slightly warm to the touch.

Absolutely, the build of y400 could really be better. The hinge especially, although it's tight, but it can be better. My old Asus was doing a great job.

But, it's good enough. Love the carbon looking yo. brows.gif

Btw, any places for recommendation to get 650m ultra bay for y400? biggrin.gif

no i mean... GT750m should able to perform well under 1366x768 resolution. And IMO adding an extra gpu might no big differ

What software are you recommending? Previously when I'm using my desktop's ati, I over clocked using the official software from ati (forgot the name). laugh.gif

Btw, the heat from the left part of the laptop is quite hot when it reaches 65C. I guess, a huge fan is needed. brows.gif

Your new computer comes with a protective plastic layer between the keys. You could remove that plastic to get rid of the bubbles. I remove mine the moment I got the computer.

Then just send to SC lo. I would the moment I find something wrong. This is the benefits of buying local original sets. You are paying a premium ya. If SC gives lots of BS then in the future people will just buy grey sets.

mobile SKU are usually designed and tested at higher parameters than desktops. so unless nvidia and lenovo is that stupid I won't expect it to fail that soon if you don't turn on 24/7

Burned..? I OC-ed my old M15x (mind you that lappy runs way hotter than my current Y500) for 4 years and it runs fine. GPU's still healthy some more with me leaving it on 24/7... brows.gif

yea touchpad is 1 of the worse I've used. not sensitive and very hard to navigate around.
the plus point is, I dont need to enable the setting "disable touchpad when a mouse is plugged in" as it didnt affect me when gaming / typing so far...

i've been using wifi since day 1... so far so good. icon_rolleyes.gif

yea... one of... I've tried ASUS, Toshiba, Apple Macbook, all are better better in terms of responsiveness and built quality. kinda hate these "one-piece" touchpads laptops have nowadays. whats wrong with 1 touchpad with 2 buttons?

companies are trying too hard to imitate Apple. but they never do their best, just copy for the sake of copying. doh.gif
they should at least try to make it as responsive / user friendly as macbook touchpad, or just stick with old designs.
I have a friend's ASUS ultrabook, the one-piece touchpad gives a vibrating feel each time u tap on it , like it's hollow / something's missing underneath shakehead.gif

of course GT650M dual mode u cannot compare to a single GT750M, and also the GT750M is just an overclocked Kepler GK107 same same with the GT650M, ie. 967 MHz (GT750M) vs 900 MHz (GT650M)

The 650M and 750M are in the same level just different generations so the 750M will just be slightly better and more power efficient however neither of them will do amazing for gaming but they should work just fine.. I'd say GT650M SLi if u can just go for it.

When I use my Y580 in US before, it never gives me any connection issue... probably because the router is right beside me that time... but now I'm back in Malaysia, the wireless does drop quite often with Win8... never encounter such thing in Win7...

And it also happened with my desktop wifi as well. I never check into the details but I'm guessing my laptop and desktop's wifi is using the same chip thus the same problem, even ping to router gets dropped... Right now I'm using cable on my desktop... so, either the router doesn't work well with Win8 networking or the drivers really are sucks...

as for touchpad, my only gripe with it is the real navigation area is so small that it always mistake my intention as gesture instead of moving pointer shakehead.gif

Guys Y510P Haswell and Y500 Ivy Bridge. Whats the major difference between these?. Only the processor (less power consumption, more battery power) and igpu?

Haswell based processor haven't been release yet. So we don't know. The Y510P wont be coming so quick. Y410P is the one arriving Mid June
