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

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?

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?]

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?

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.

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.

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
