Check it out in Lowyat plaza, digital mall or garage sales. Its selling around RM27xx bundle with Lenovo Dicota Backpack, 3 Yrs McAfee Internet Security E-card and 2 yrs warranty.
Suggest to upgrade warranty to 3 yrs onsite for RM165 or 3 yrs carry-in for RM70 with resellers.
Remember to check its local set as per guide in post#2 and avoid US set (AP set) to have peace of mind.

Yup, official local set don't have SSD, refer to post#1 for local set details spec. It only have one hardisk and partition to 890GB and 24.9GB for one key recovery feature to restore the system to factory default.
In the warranty look up page in Lenovo site, if Location is Malaysia then is official local set. u can also refer to the guide in post#2 to identify local set.
u need to register on-line for 2 yrs warranty, else it default as 1 yr warranty. Refer post#1 for guide.

Try this to see is ur fan ok.
System setting>Lenovo energy management>>start fan dust extraction.

One more recent case where local Lenovo rejected warranty support for US set (AP set) Y500 with 1 yr international warranty as reported belows.
The owner ask the seller to exchange/repair his newly bought laptop with faulty webcam but they ask him to buy a new webcam lol.
The seller tell him got 1 yr international warranty but non-disclosure of no warranty support by local Lenovo.
Thank god is just a minor faulty, if major hardware failure when needs 1 to 1 replacement. Then really

I ve updated the thread title to create awareness for the buyers.

u can upgrage warranty with local set resellers. Suggest to upgrade to 3 yrs onsite warranty around RM165 for peace of mind.
- Lenovo U, Y & Z series from 2 yrs extend to 3 yrs Onsite Warranty -- RM165
- Lenovo U, Y & Z series from 2 yrs extend to 3 yrs carry-in Warranty -- RM70

Yup, total 3 yrs onsite warranty or carry-in warranty.
Onsite warranty the technician will come to ur place to fix the laptop issues and less hassle.
Carry-in warranty needs to bring/collect it from service centre by urself.

They provide good service for onsite but inconsistent service depending on SC for carry-in.

Nice score.
Where u buy the ultrabay gpu + 170w adapter? Price?
Ultrabay gpu GT750m(GN37) for Y510p and Y500 compatible?
It seems there are some compatibility issues.

Yup, u can extend warranty with any local set resellers subject to availability.

u can use 9.5mm compatible caddy bay for Y410p. make sure its compatible so that the bezel can fit nicely to it.
u need to remove bezel from DVDrom and fit it to caddy bay. Look at the pics in chinese site how they DIY.

Read here:

u can ask the pro users in the dedicated thread. many of them have done it.
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2796033
iirc, u can do a clean install of W8 in SSD since W8 key is in bios, but u will loose the one key recovery feature. Do double check with them.

Ur keyboard protector is blocking the heat dissipation and airflow.
Make sure u dont game on the bed and dont block the ventilation.
Use external keyboard/ cooling pad/ table fan, maintainance service, throttle stop to disable turbo boot to improve cooling during hardcore gaming.

Get the local set with 2 yrs limited international warranty and check whether it also cover the country u visited. u can add normal 2.5" SATA SSD for Y510p/Y410p.

u can get it from garage sales thread.
pm local set resellers storm88,Devour,Hikari85.

Remove the bloatware, set the page file to zero or minimal if sufficient RAM.
If needs significan't boot, add SSD is the best choice.
