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??

Just uninstall Mcafee, it's totally a crap.
Windows 8 built in Windows Defender aka MSE is good enough.

LoL. I've maxed out but the screen tearing is annoying.
And the fps always at around 60-70 only.
*
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.

I don't really post much so I'm sorry if I break any forum rules. Been contemplating so long to replace my laptop which by itself is an antique piece of art (6 years and still running strong). Am currently am split between Y500 and the Asus ROG (the latter due to its design).

My main issue is how big of a gap in performace does the Asus ROG GTX770 has when compared towards Y500 GTX 750 SLI graphics card?

The Y500 certainly looks like a beast, but if the performance is a marginal 5% difference; then I'll probably opt to grab my first ever Lenovo laptop.

Hoping for some advice.
*
Well, you can't compared Lenovo Y500 with Asus ROG.
Price wise difference, and latter has superior cooling system compared to Lenovo's.

Hey guys, is it even possible to install BOTH a SATA SSD and a HDD to a Lenovo Y580? (Im not talking about a single hybrid drive)
Or is the only option available is mSata SSD + HDD ?  I have a single 240gb SSD in my laptop and im starting to feel the lack of space.  sad.gif  Looking for options.
*
You can put your SSD at the HDD there, and move your HDD to ODD.

Currently using the 10.0.0.209, after work will try update to 10.0.0.234 and see how it goes. Or else might consider to change some other wifi card... yawn.gif

To change wifi card, you need to flash custom bios to clear the whitelist.
