The other side benefits of having Optimus is it also allows you to use functions like Quick Sync. May not be of much help in gaming, but useful if you deal with a lot of media files/encoding works and such.

Probably not in the near future, if they do, it will be based on a strict interpretation of the Terms & Condition.

Lenovo Malaysia's salesman running scared already. Promised that they will look into other ways to stop the grey import marketers, or else... No sale for you..

Ok, lets put it this way.


Q : Have people got problem claiming warranty for US Lenovo here in Malaysia?

A : Of course got. Even here in Lowyat you got the stories.


Q : What is the price difference between the US Lenovo set and Malaysia Lenovo set?

A : Around RM200. Give and take.


Q : How Long is The Malaysian Lenovo Warranty Compared to Lenovo US Warranty?

A : Malaysia Set 2 Years. Lenovo US set less than one year.


So, let me put it this way. Are you willing, because you wanted to save RM200, be subject to all sorts of uncertainty? Just a cursory read of the terms and condition of Lenovo's international warranty would point out that the international warranty is intended for US guys who bought the laptop in the US and came here on holiday/work or whatever. Moreover if you spend more than RM2.5K for the laptop.

Are you willing to take that chance?

Wah. What on earth did you do?

Well, do let us know what the problem is, would be very interesting to know.

Yes, I was also told the same thing. Unless you are a legit US born, travelling buyer, they will not honour any grey import market Lenovo anymore.

Even then, some of the grey import prices do not make any sense. Take the Y410P Blu Ray edition. Listed price in the US is $1399 (Which is almost RM4440). Even if the summer discount code of $450 is applied, that still meant $949 which is still around Rm2850! But it is being sold below RM2500!

Assuming that the importers still make money from selling it below RM2500, you have to wonder what is the cost? RM2000? Lets just say RM2000, because I don't see the hassle of doing grey market imports if you are not going to make money off it. What then is the cost of the unit in the US? Lets say around $700.

Now, where can you get the Y series at that price. Maybe here?

I don't know. Does it make sense?

Which model is this?

A US set will always now and will be a US set, subject to international warranty condition, which most people cannot hope to fulfil (well, unless you did buy it in the US). So extending your warranty means you will still face problems.

What misleading? It has been stated several times already that if you have a US set and you want to Claim Warranty In Malaysia, You Have to :-

ASEAN (Indonesia, Malaysia, Phillippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam)

Customers requiring International Warranty Service in any of the ASEAN countries may be asked to provide one of the following in order to obtain IWS warranty repair service; proof of company identification (company letter, email, business card, company badge with photo ID), proof of purchase (purchase receipt, official order, delivery note, sales memo, or invoice), and/or proof of travel (passport with valid Visa to or from country where product was purchased, or other travel documents).

Can Read Or Not? If Still Cannot read here :- http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.pag...ocID=MIGR-58926

The same applies for Malaysian set claiming warranty in the US. Instead of providing US proof, you provide Malaysian proof to the US.

For your information also, before March 1 2007 most of Asean region dont have International Warranty Service.

There. I put my document straight from Lenovo already. So if Lenovo Malaysia ask you all those documentations, get it ready la. What? Don't have? Lenovo T&C very clear already.

You want to access the BIOS or just the boot menu? If you have Windows 8 you'd probably have to do that from the General Setting menu in Windows 8.

I finally snagged some of the latest Y510P stocks, and true to form, couldn't resist opening up one unit for myself.

Getting the new 755M units is a bonus, and I do see that the LCD panel unit has a higher brightness than the last version did. It does translate to a better viewing experience straight away.

Nice..
