You can check back the first page of this thread that you will need to register the warranty by sending them an email with all the necessary information

Anyway, anyone find it very small and tight fitting on the bundled lenovo dicota backpack for Y510P ?

Cool, I too am thinking of getting one from her. Just curious, did you upgrade your RAM?
also, could you check if your RAM is DDR3L (1.35V) or just DDR3 (1.5V)?

Nexus says it should be DDR3L.

Check got m2 slot or not ?

According to notebookcheck, the Y510P has a battery life of 2hr49min at idle. The Y500 has a battery life of 4hr04min at idle.
other cons is the Y510P doesn't turbo boost but the Y500 does.

sorry sifu, I don't know how to check it.

she said got but the m.2 ssd not released already

I'm using CPU-Z

Pretty nifty program that lets me check out whats on my laptop without having to open it.
I think the RAM voltage is listed under the SPD tab.

Probably the high end Y510p SLI model can use the m2 SSD, but its too new and difficult to find in the market.
Its not a big issues as we can use the normal 2.5" SSD with bigger capacity.

Swap the HD drive with a SSD, correct?

Yeap, swap HDD with SSD. More details below:

I've been going through some online reviews for both the Y500 & Y510P.
I noticed that the Y510P has a shorter battery runtime (2h 49min) compared to the Y500 (4h 04min) atiIdle (without WLAN, min brightness).
1hr in difference. geramnya. I thought Haswell supposed to be more energy efficient that Ivybridge?
Also no turbo boost enabled for Y510P. Dono if this can be solved via software update later.
Apart from that, I like the Y510P.

So guys, I just chatted with some Lenovo representative and asked about US unit's warranty if it could be covered in Malaysia or not. Please refer attachment for the screenshot.

So, what do you guys think.

1. Your Lenovo Rep is probably outsourced to India
2. Makes me wanna go " O, blimey" ala "Mind your language"
3. I realize that its not likely that anyone here remembers this series. lol.

Y510p has longer battery life. Up to 5 hours checked mine d. U got both your time mixed up.

You should try contact Lenovo Malaysia instead of Lenovo US, because you are going to send warranty here not there. I just happened asked one of the Lenovo authorized reseller staff from brightstar, he said you can claim the international warranty for US version notebook but you must have the original receipt of the shop you bought from US, so this receipt should be with the dealer that brought the notebook from US, but it might be tricky to get that receipt as they usually buy bulk.

I also ask the seller that selling the US version, he said u can send the notebook to him for warranty, which really concern me.

I just share what I have been told. If u have the extra money just buy the local set, it reduce the risk. somemore u get 2 years warranty.
