Anyone know which store in lowyat / digital mall / any areas nearby Petaling jaya (easy to reach with lrt) or seremban that has the new y510p gt755m single GPU in stock? Went to PC fair today and there's only old 750m model (and they don't even know about the 755m model at all).......

They are selling at about 3299 (and stating the rrp is 3399).

Yep. That was the price they offered before bargaining though, but I didn't bargain as I feel the final result would be pretty much a rip off too.
Now I'm thinking that if I were to wait would it be better for me to wait for Maxwell GPU (8xx series) as it was rumored that there would be a major performance boost and is coming in q1.

From what I know, the model with 755m is the latest batch that will replace the 750m and will be priced at 3399.
The model with 750m will be phased out eventually and will drop in price, to 3099 or somewhere around that.

Currently only a handful stores have ready stock of y510p 755m, and some stores let you order them too (different stores different story, some stores says will arrive in 1 week, some stores says next year *which is stupid*).
I'm looking for ready stock of 755m model of y510p too.

Y400 should have a msata slot if I'm not wrong. You can use a msata SSD.

Exactly what happened to me with the "part-time" salesmen in PC fair and some other stores.
A guy in All IT @ Digital Mall even tells me that the 755m batch will be priced at "3 thousand 4 hundred or 5 hundred plus (and the old 750m will remain 3399).

2 weeks I assume, that's what most stores tell me.

This is not a selling thread.

Some of them should have arrived already, as some stores already have ready stocks.

The Single GPU model comes with an optical dvd drive installed in the ultrabay slot. It can be removed and be replaced by other components like second GPU (for SLI), HDD etc if you want to upgrade in the future.

And where did you see the latest brochure saying y510p for 2999?

That is a very old flyer even before Y510P's price hiking up to 3399.

You can't fit a msata HDD/SDD in either of Y410P or Y510P.
Y410P has a NGFF (or also called M2) port as claimed by the lenovo resellers. You can put the suitable 42mm NGFF SSD in it. However it is still a new factor and not many 42mm NGFF SSD are out there in market as of now. They will become more and more popular in future I guess, as their speed is better than sata.
Y510P do not have any additional port. You can only put your SSD in the sata slot that the original HDD is using, and put the HDD in the ultrabay (requires a caddy bay, replacing the optical dvd drive).

In short, for local set
Y410P : 1 SATA (occupied with original HDD) + 1 NGFF
Y510P : 1 SATA (occupied with original HDD)

Correct me if I'm wrong as these are the info found from web and resellers and not self checking.

Well I do my comparison based on notebookcheck review for these two GPUs.
http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForc...0M.90245.0.html
http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForc...M.102020.0.html

There should to be a minor to moderate FPS improvement.
You can always overclock a 750m to a 755m, however.

In the 755m review the laptop model used is a Y510P with 755m GPU anyway, which should be with very similar if not the same specification with the latest batch of local set.

Well I'm expecting the best price for 755m and 750m should be around 3200 and 3000 respectively. (750 price should be dropping constantly when 755m released i think)
If I find a good offer of 750m below 2900 then I would take it lol, or to see if Illegear offers good christmas promotion haha.

If you plan on getting an ultrabay to upgrade in future I would suggest getting 755m as the reseller tells me that 750m ultrabay addon will be phased out.

go big and get a samsung evo 840 1tb

You can always choose alternatives such as Toshiba's or Seagate's hybrid SSHD or WD black square HDD+SSD dual drive.
Or go for an expensive 500gb/1tb samsung 840 evo.

And well, the lack of msata/NGFF factor in local set Y510p is still making me hesitate for it.
Maybe will wait for next Y series instead lol and hope there'll be ngff connector in it.

not an alternative for SLI model though.

ssd mostly boost your startup/shutdown time, softwares and games loading time (like opening microsoft office, loading a game map etc.
it wont have much effect for game graphic performance

wait for next generation Y40 lor, 1920x1080 FHD, haha
