Benchmarks from China:http://ideapad.it168.com/thread-3658952-1-1.html

GT750m is an OC gtx660m with higher clock due to matured 28nm manufacturing.
GPUZ gt750m/Y400 vs gtx660m/Y580 vs gt650m/Y400

3Dmark11 with core i7, gt750m/Y400=P2937 > gtx660m/Y580=P2636 > gt650m/Y400=P2300.
3Dmark11 gt750m pawn gtx660m.

Furmark stress test for gt750m/Y400 vs gt650m/Y400 with default clock speed.
Default GT750m core clock 941mhz turbo boost to 1058mhz in Furmark test exceeded the default boost clock 967mhz . This might be due to boost 2.0 in new Gpu.
Default GT650m core clock 790mhz remains the same in Furmark test since GPU boost is not enable.
GT750m temp increase to 55C with 1.1120V compare to GT650m at 43C with 1.0250V.

Y510p/Y410p/Y500/Y400 grey imported set (AP set) major warranty claim issues.
Beware of those cheapo US imported set (AP set) with same/different specs and 1 yr international warranty. Its best to avoid due to many potential hardware and no warranty support in MY.
Read the threads on grey imported set warranty issues:
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2647407
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2825975
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2619606

-Local Lenovo rejected the warranty claims for the US set Y500 owner:
Case1) https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2796033/+1561
- Major warranty claim issues on imported set((AP set) reported in local Lenovo facebook.
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2491914/+930
Case 2) 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. "

Let continue Lenovo updates & buying Q & A...







This post has been edited by ytlay: Dec 20 2013, 10:21 PM

Should I wait for the Y510 to come out? Or should I just get the Y500 now? Will there be major differences in terms of specs? And will there be a price drop when the Y510 comes out? Thank you.

Upcoming Y510p with Haswell core i7-4700MQ, swappable GT750M/Intel HD4600 with Nvidia optimus for longer battery life and lower temperature. It might come with full HD anti-glare screen, slightly slimmer and price around current Y500.
No noticeable performance gain except Intel HD4600 and hardly any price drop on Y500 as it will be phased out when new model launch.

Y50 & Y40 with new designs and layout, slimmer, lighter and look more sexy.







Dual fans cooling for cpu & gpu at the back.

thanks

Great thread, one of the most active and informative, keep up the good work ytlay!

Wow, V2 ady, keep up the good work

guys any temperature reading from the keyboard ? would like to know how HOT when idle & running

Would like to know any of you current Y500 user having any over heat issue with their laptop? Such as gaming on it without the Laptop Cooler pad will it cause the machine to overheat?

Thanks for the reply!

Hi! 3 weeks y500 user here!

Well, FOR ME, it actually depends on the type of game i'm playing, and the overheat is not "OVER" at all. The temperature around the keyboard area is actually quite "warm" and "ok-ok" la... but the graphic card section gets hot after playing 2 to 4 hours of gaming (around high settings for new games)...
But the heat dissipates around 30 minutes after i exit the game (shows that y500 cooling system is top-notch! )

Be aware though, I'm playing this laptop in a quite cramped space, non-air-conditioned room, no cooler-pad, and my laptop is not lifted a bit to allow maximum ventilation for my laptop...

So if u wanna play on this laptop with max performance while increasing the time-limit before laptop gets hot, u have to:
1. Play in a spacious place to allow max ventilation (Spacious room, vents of laptop not blocked, good air circulation in room)
2. Play in air-conditioned room (Well, it's cold, so go figure! )
3. Use cooled-pad if possible (costs some $$, someone told me to get CoolerMaster U3 Pad or something as the size of laptop is compatible with this cooling pad, price around rm75)
4. Lift the laptop a bit (place a book or something to raise laptop, as y500 has another vent-with-fans below it, which blows heat outside from CPU and RAM)
5. Don't play at bed or ur lap or something, it blocks the vents, reduce function of vents, and may cause ur lap to burn! So be careful..

Err... actually the definition of overheat = notebook auto shutdown @127C?


New notebooks may get hot, but not overheat I guess?

This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Jun 17 2013, 11:25 AM

anyone has tried install mSata ? can transfer OS to mSata Drive ?

Hi there. I recently bought a Y500 750m sli. I have been playing some games on it and noticed that there are white powdery substance on the bottom intake vent. I am pretty sure it's not dust. Also when I check my temps using HWMonitor I consistently get 85C on the ultrabay gpu and 65C on the other regardless of the game. Is this normal? Thanks.

was affraid it will shorten the laptop lifespan for overheating.

Sorry guys another question. Was wondering whether the Y410 could i take out the dvd writer and replace it with a 128gb SSD?

why you want swap with dvd while it have mSata Slot ?

Hi Guys,
I've got a few questions on the Lenovo Y500 GT750M SLI.
1. The stock notebook comes with 8GB RAM in a single stick, so upgrading to 16GB by adding in an additional compatible RAM later shouldn't be a problem, right? Anyone done this with their Y500?
2. From the Lenovo flyer, the Y500(59-378187) is shown as equipped with a 120W adapter, but I also noticed some sellers selling the notebook with an additional 170W adapter as well (basically a 120W and 170W adapter). Shouldn't the stock Lenovo Y500 come with the 170W adapter as its running 2 GPUs? Any advantages or disadvantages?
3. What is the screen resolution? 1920x1080?
Thanks,
Dbassnut

GT750M on Dota 2 Ultra Setting ..what FPS are you guys getting

Sorry im kinda noob at this. But the current mSata Slot is a empty slot or is the slot where the 1TB harddisk is? Cause i still want the 1TB HDD with a 128SSD.

mSata slot is empty slot. if u check at US Spec , they come with mSata SDD. its reside next to HDD.

2) The Y500 sli version comes with a 170W and 120W adapter. You can use either one. Preferably 120W for travelling and 170W for gaming.
3) For 15' yeah. For 14' 1366x768. Y410P US version apparently comes with 1600x900 as well.
1) I remember the US version comes with 2x4gb ram. But the M'sian set supposedly comes with 8gb. If it so than yeah just add another compatible 8gb ram.

Hi, can anyone verify that there is white powder at the bottom intake vent of the Y500. I think it could either be thermal paste or some other chemical. Any advice will much appreciated I just bought it 3 weeks ago. Also the F11 key seems to be half lit.

hmm. Powder at the bottom of the intake vent. Dandruff? Just kidding. It could be plastic shavings from when they installed the screws. Or dried thermal paste (usually greyish white). Kind of worrying though as I too am thinking of getting a Y500 SLI GT750M.
Did you upgrade your warranty to onsite warranty?
How much RAM did your model come with?

nterested in getting the Y400 free DOS version, my friend's shop doesn't seem to carry it though

Can u add another 650M GPU to the Y400?

Guys, here are some questions that i think most of us with the y500 single gpu and planning to have the 2nd card want answered.
1) do you think that they will order the removable gt750m at all?


if not, will


2) the y510p will have the same removable graphics as the y500 now?[means will the gt750m of the y510p fit in the slot of the y500 gt750? and is it compatible/same?]

Thanks for your reply. Can't seem to find any info online. Um is that normal? Should I call a technician over to have it check? Yeah my warranty was upgraded from 1 to 2 years. The dealer did it for me though. You need to give your model number and a few other info. Once it is done you can check using this website:

http://support.lenovo.com/en_MY/product-se...us/default.page?

Mine came with 8gb ddr3 the specs say single stick No worries about touch pad though. I think the problem has been solved. In fact it's better than a lot that I have tried win 8 gestures works as it should. Keyboard on the other hand, the F11 key is half lit Read a few post with the same problem.

Hi there you can try asking Hikari. She's a genuine re-seller.

who knows when exact date Y510p will launch ?

Ok thanks!

1. Mine upgraded with another stick of ram (8gb kingston).. no problem

hi guys, just bought my y400 yesterday. went to lowyat to buy desktop and this.

one question, what software to monitor cpu temperature?

HWMonitor

She was quite blurry about this, she say that the demand for that is not high, so dealer won't order, so do you guys think that it will even come to malaysia at all?

Y510p has its own caddy, the Y500 will not fit. Because y510p is slightly thin than Y500.

Your only option is to wait.

Which means that my option has the possibility that they won't even order it at all?
Edit: I've been asking around a lot, using this simply yes and no question, but it keeps gettting unanswered

This post has been edited by garfieldcrazy: Jun 18 2013, 08:33 AM

ytlay maybe you should adjust the sub-title of the thread, people will soon asking when y510p will release. Just my suggestion yeah.

Ya, and hope price not much diff that Y500. same like price diff between Y400 and Y410p.. RM3099 perhaps for nonSli ver.

congrats on the v2 topic.
oh, seems like im too late.

got some question
1. for y410 local set the display is 1366x768 right
2. is there any different if we bought the us set

Hopefully they will bring in the the External graphic card for the gt750m.

I found out that taobao is selling.

Hi Maxlol,
If you have the onsite warranty, do call the tech over to check. Also, save a sample of the white powder (put it in a small plastic bag) to show the tech.
I've heard that the Wireless Communication modules on the earlier Y500 models weren't so good. How is the one on yours?

Not sure, but i believe it should be included power adapter.

Will ask the seller later.

Lol the powder still stuck to the bottom grating Thanks. So far no disconnection and or random drops. Works normally on my streamyx 1mbps (maybe that's why). Not sure about blue tooth though haven't tested. I think that problem was for Y400 and Y500 650m. The problems they faced seemed to be rectified including touch-pad responsiveness. So far the only touchpad I like better are those on the MacBook Pro. Other problems that persist are some keys are only half lit and the build seems a bit iffy such as scratches right out the box. Other than that there's the white powder which I have no idea what it is.

hello, i am now deciding to buy the y410p ... but i still have some questions:

Is the y410p's msata port same as y400's? Because I heard that y510p have different port...

And, what is the y410p 's screen resolution in malaysia? is it 1600:900?

Thanks

About putting the white powder into a bag, maybe not such a good idea. Kind of hard to explain if a policeman asks you what it is. lol.
By the way, you may want to see it insides of the Y500 (its the one with the GT650M) which should be similar to the GT750 one.
Here it is.
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Lenovo...ok.87585.0.html

just confirmed a buy.
y400 with windows 8 - rm2799.
y400 without windows 8 - out of stock.

how much is the External graphic card for the gt750m now & in 1 year time ?

p/s: f***ing hate win 8.

Thanks for the link. Now my two vents at the side has got a type of chemical smell as well. The smell was there the day I first bought it and switched it on. I thought it was new plastic smell. Now still have....... Edit just called service center they ask me to bring the laptop along.....

This post has been edited by maxlol: Jun 18 2013, 03:28 PM

hmm. if it is a sharp chemical smell (something like what you get when you burn out a fluorescent lamp), it could be that one of the capacitors on the board already kaput. Better get a lenovo technician to check. also, better email them & keep a copy of the email just in case.

More like new car interior finishing smell haha.

Looks like the Y510p comes with 4702QM processor :/
http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/6743757

But in US Online Store state diff .

http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/ideapad/y-series/y510p/

They just recently change the processor, there state 4700QM but some they receive is 4702QM.

what is the different of 750m and 650m?

About 100m. just kidding. The 750m is supposed to be 10% faster.

http://www.game-debate.com/gpu/index.php?g...e-gt-650m-gddr5

I prefer using the info on this site however.
http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForc...0M.90245.0.html
http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForc...0M.71887.0.html

Hope this helps.

thxs bro..planning to buy a computer..

Me too. Considering the Y500 or Y510p. Used to consider Asus but too many horror stories about their SC. Illegear is good but slightly out of my budget. Plus their SC is in Johor, so I cannot go & camp in their lobby if I send a lappy back for repair. Lenovo got a SC in Penang so I can go annoy them if something goes wrong. Plus, it's durian season. You don't want to have a argument with an irritated customer who just had durian for lunch. .

they are improving thier sc alr,i selling computer i know the fact bro...asus computer have the quality..

If you getting y510p, check the processor is it running 4700QM as advertise. :3
because the new batch comes with 4702QM which is slightly low clock than 4700QM

well, the Y510p isn't here yet & the advertisement for Lenovo US is already misleading. For example, the SLI version is advertised as a a GT750M + ultrabay GT720M. For SLI, shouldn't both cards be GT750M?

Hope the Y510p arrives in Malaysia soon.

It is a typo, confirmed :3
It comes with 2 750M SLi

Yup, agree that Asus has really good designs & good quality. its just they also have the most SC horror stories as well. Just try emailing them for an eternal run around.

Wah. was looking for a like button, then I remember this isn't facebook. lol

because of nowadyas theasus sells had increase alot..they didnt expected on this..so give them some time to do..

Hopefully they do improve. I really liked the G55VX but it isn't so presentable for work as it really looks like a gamers dream machine.
Lenovo Y500s & Y510p look more business like, & so do the illegear RS-15.
Will probably be buying one of them after the Y510p comes in next month (hopefully).
Also, plus for Lenovo is that I can upgrade the warranty to on-site warranty, which means their tech will have to come to my place & not I go to them.

Lemmie tell you what it is, it's plastic or some glu material from the joints that lock the back cover to the mainboard together. Few weeks back I took out my back cover for the first time to install the 8gb cracial RAM and the mSata for my y500, in the process I'd break one of the joints, what i did was I'd superglued it back and put it under the Sun to dry, Then that white poweder started to appear, then I'd noticed that it was coming out from one of the other joints on the back cover. In your case however I think it's because of your lappie's heat [ mine was sun's heat ] so i don't think it's coming from the companents

Splendid!

Hi, thanks I think that might be it. So it is melted glue and will it be a problem for me in the future? Should I take and it for service? Just bought it less than 2 weeks ago =.= How come nobody else has this problem btw

Lol, I think it will be if you're planning to take out the cover and put it back in frequently. I have this problem lol, but i tested the other joints of the back cover, they're quite sturdy also...

is it worth to go from gt750m to gt750m SLI?
coz game benchmark
show that it still cannot play fluently some games on ultra.

It's worth since it has the performance almost a 770M :3...

even 780m will struggle on some game on ultra + full hd..

but will 750m goes smooth with metro:last light on ultra but 720p?

superglue frosting is fume marks. its not powder or does it have anything to do with your laptop.

just send your laptop for a check up bro. sometimes the fan can shave off the plastic that wasnt properly fitted in. the dust could be those shavings.

hi, i finished metro last light on 1080p and high.

ultra is just a gimmick, you wont notice much difference.

Need reply A.S.A.P
to all those upgraded HDD to SSD:
which drivers/software did y'all reinstall on SSD to get y400/500 working optimally?
just wanna identify which are bloatware.
links of drivers are welcome.

Ultra possible if without AA and tessellation for full hd. Fps average for D6 inbuilt benchmark around 25 fps. At high without AA and tessellation around 30 fps. Interestingly enough my gpu temp is only 65C when playing at high for 1.5 hours. At 720p you can increase about 30% of those fps.




Thanks for the reply. I contacted Lenovo and they say they have never seen such a problem before. The white coating corresponds to 3 streak-lines on the back vent. It is not everywhere as in they fall on 3 predetermined paths. Quite hard to take a photo as the lighting prevents the powder from being seen. The smell apparently is some sort of coating on the electronics. It'll go away after 1 month.

Time for me to shine on this V2 thread! Hi all! Lenovo y500 Gt750M SLI Variant (7 weeks) Owner here!

Wanna ask to all those who owned y400/y410/y500/y510 with GT750M, have u guys found any new drivers for this graphic card? I'm stuck on using 311.27 driver (provided in lenovo website).... I googled and saw that there's already a 319.17 driver for gefore gt750M, but it's only for Linux and FreeBSD

Someone suggested me on V1 Thread to try out 320.14 beta driver for gt740m for my lappy... is it ok? Anyone tried this and confirmed it's stable?

sorry to sound so newb

1. anyone can recommend me a trusted and cheap seller in KL, probably lowyat~

2. isnt generic updates from nvidia are compatible with the y400/y500?
