planning to get this but i heard the screen is not that good on viewing angles. Is it a really that bad for people purchasing it and changing the screen afterwards. I know some ppl did with their y50

can i ask how to use the "always on usb feature" of y50?? because after i shut down the laptop it seems that none of the usb port is usable...

Shut down, battery is completely shut down or off. You need to put it to sleep, just close the lid for sleep mode and you still can use your USB ports to charge.

ohhh i see, and i thought by shutting down and left the plugged in will allow the usb feature thanks !

Hi! I'm lenovo Y580 user!

Y-series the best!

hi , i wonder if the Y40 on sale ?? im hunting a new lappy, compared flex2 and z50-70, then i found out that Y40 spec not bad also.

I feel like upgrading to ssd for my y50. My lappy feels slow d. Is the crucial mx100 512gb officially in malaysia d?

The super hot model Y50/DOS is phasing out according to bro storm88.
Grab it fast before its too late.

Is there anyone here that knows of a software that can use on windows 8.1 that can help detect all drivers and update? Im having bsod recently, could be from driver issues.

haha well i dont plan to store many things but the speed will certainly be a plus. I haven't tried an ssd before. :3

Y40 rumor ETA in August, wait if u can wait.
Dual modes Flex2 with better IPS touch screen compare to Z50 with non-touch TN panel.

I recently bought Lenovo Y50 which comes with Windows 8.1 Update 1 preinstalled.
Apparently it come with hotkeys like volume and brightness. (since some people reported that they haven't include this feature)

I tried to update my Nvidia drivers, but it says that the driver has been modified by Lenovo and can only updated from their site (already checked, their driver is 3 months outdated).

I found the solution how to install official Nvidia driver by using this guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKt7HF_-jAk

However some people on YT reported that installing official driver causes lowers the FPS...

So can someone volunteer to try that driver?
Or should wait Lenovo to update thet driver?

(Drivers checked on both Nvidia Experience & Nvidia website)

Why the rush bro? It's better to wait for the official update from Lenovo. I doubt anyone who willing to risk their own machine for your own sake unless some people had done it before.

Well the y50 Dos version doesn't seem to have this issue. I just dl the beta 340 driver from nvidia website and it works perfectly fine.

i got my y50 dos version before raya....

upgrade to a ssd (original hdd booting time slower than my y480)

installed windows 7 with latest nvidia following the notebookreview guide, so far ok.
need to tweak a little on the synaptic touch pad to make it more "mac" feel.

Wait, why my Y50 with Windows 8.1 comes with Elantech touchad? Does it my touchpad is bad? How do you configure to make MAC feel?

That's mean Lenovo got their own hardware options for each model.
Luckily the display still AUO.

EDIT: By the way, how do reinstall Lenovo Onekey Recovery if I changed the hard disk? I mean all recoveries and OEM softwares the come along with the package.

Hello guys, may I know is there any colour calibrated screen?
I find that the screen has different contrast and colour when i transfer the edited photos to my phone/tablet.

You guys know any shop to colour calibrate?

PS - I tried using the Colour Calibrator from Windows, adjusted but still looking different.
PSS - I'm using Y50-70 Free DOS, Windows 8.1

i think you have to enable it from the bios
