Which also means Y50 should have lower RRP than Y510p.

Y410/ Y510P doesn't have any price cut but they are phasing it out directly.

i retract my earlier statement

I know the chance is slim, but why "IMPOSSIBLE"? Their main rival is the MSI GE60-2PE GTX860M model which is priced at 4199. Lenovo's usual marketing is their "low pricing" so I don't see pricing Y50 below 4k as an "IMPOSSIBLE" option. Even if it's not below 4k, it would be in 4000 to 4200 in order to create an advantage over MSI.

Only time will tell, who knows Lenovo might hike up the price due to latest components in there?

So far, less than 10 YouTube videos of several users who got the unit first and it was looking really good. Games perform well at 'ultra' settings and the whole thing looks very sturdy and well built.

However, there is one video where the buyer pressing hard on the keyboard surface and it looks quite fragile. Like it would break.

It would depend on Lenovo MY to decide the spec(such as RAM, HDD, OS) then only they'll decide the price.

I guess Y50 will be price according to its market position and local market competition. It will be overprice if lack of competition from other OEMs like whats happen in China last year, eventually they lost some of their market share to US set grey importer and local OEM HASEE using rebranded Clevo gaming series with much lower and reasonable price. This year, Y50 pricing in China is more reasonable due to stiff competition from other OEMs.

Some of the new laptop(ie GE60, RE15..) already upgraded to GTX860m from GTX765m with apprx. the same SRP. In US, Y50/GTX860m(US1399) and Y510p/GT755m(US1369) SRP before discount is around the same. It seems that US replace Y510p with Y50 around the same SRP.

Fyi, its selling in Singapore around SG1799 with 16GB and bunch of freegift.

Hello there. Any body here know the retail price of the y50 in China? I might want to fly to China to buy the y50, if the price is cheaper than expected (<RM3700) & cover the cheap airasia flight, at least...huhu

From my calculation (the price in SG & USA), I would say the price for y50 is expected to be starting at RM3599 upwards. Expected arrival in Malaysia would be starting somewhere end-July to Mid-August & become available widely around September14...

And if I'm not mistaken, the warranty in China is international warranty...

Apparently it was a pricing error. But what I saw was right, USD1349 or something for a GTX880M

I suggest you can go to China forum to observe first, from what I know is Lenovo although is from China but they opt to US market. And, quite a number of review from China forum about Y50, basically, can be said 50/50. Yet, you better read first. For me, I dont suggest to go for I7 model.

GTX880M on that slim factor? The body will melt first.

Upcoming next generation Y series sexy Y50 with powerful spec below ETA early July 2014 in MY, stay tuned.

One of the more detailed english review of Y50 out there from NBR : http://forum.notebookreview.com/ideapad-es...tel-7260-a.html
Specs are most likely slightly different from what we have though (CPU, SSHD, Wifi card etc).

According to most reviews out there, the cooling is very amazing and the temperature is cool even if you overclock it, in such a slim chassis...

cool. notebookcheck.net says MSI GS60 runs dangerously hot, so this Y50 should be a better choice, no? if only we could customize the keyboard backlight color for this Y50 like MSI...
