What do they mean by authorised retailers? Juz nid to walk into any shop and get a y50, then I will be qualified to get the free gifts?

Guys. need opinion here.

Currently using Y500 (GT750 version). I believe my laptop do come with mSATA port.

Im thinking to upgrade my storage and now abit clueless whether to use that MSATA port and maintain current HDD or just replace my current HDD to SSD and move that HDD to DVD bay.

Any suggestion and tips?

Y50-70 500GB DOS user reporting in...
First issue encounter, WiFi driver for Windows 7 =(

Fixed WiFi driver issue...
Now is the 3D video driver (Nvidia) issue...
The latest driver still yet to fix it =.=

hey~~ pm me best price for y5070 dos ver.

So i'm planning to go lowyat next week to purchase lenoyo y50. Question that bothering me is that is it worth it? Is the cooling system as bad as y500? And anything important things that i should take note? Thanks

I was told by lenovo guy that only buying from lenovo shop got eligible to claim wor.

anyway jus submit saja la. Wish you all can get one

u can just download from nvdia and install....windows 8 woking fine...win 7 i not sure

Got it fixed, you are right the WLAN driver from the web site are fine. Just that i install the Intel one instead of Realtek, that's why it's not working.

And some sharing about the GPU drivers for those who going to get a DOS version. Follow the steps below if you are installing Windows 7.

1. Windows will give a generic driver for the Intel GPU, you need to get your laptop to connect to the internet and perform an automatic driver update on the Intel GPU. The version 4600 driver will be found and install.

2. Go to Nvidia web site and search for the latest driver for GTX 860M, should be the version 340.xx. Install this driver, then you will not get any compatible error prompt out.

Enjoy!


-----------------

Can anyone share how can i check how many memory was there for my 860M in Windows 7?
I went to Change my display setting -> Advance Settings, but it show the info for the Intel GPU instead of GTX =(
And i wondering do i need to configure anything when i play games and do graphics, so that i am using the GTX GPU and not the Intel GPU?
Please help and thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply. Found it and yes it's 4GB DDR5 =)

Hi guys, I'm an owner of Y510 non-SLI edition.

May i know where can i buy the GT750M ultrabay slot for SLI?

Thanks

see first page

just to double confirm, nvidia version 340.52 from nvidia website is installing fine in windows 7 without any error.
from lenovo site also 2 drivers are new - bluetooth and wlan
for my y50 is using atheros wlan instead of intel.

just be careful if you are using some driver updating software. i used advanced driver update and it found more than ten outdated driver. so far what i try:
intel chipset - newer driver ok
realtek camera - newer driver ok
intel usb 3 - newer driver ok
motherboard - failed
qualcomm wireless lan - newer driver ok
realtek card reader - newer driver ok
bluetooth - failed
synaptic - problem found

for synaptic, if you update using latest from synaptic website, you will get new ui in the mouse setting page with additional features.

but please take note, your fn+f6 key will no longer working. and the hardware will use ps2 port instead of smb port if you install from lenovo official website.

the above are all for windows 7 64bit. hopefully the info is helpful to all fellow y50 owners.

I wonder if the next gen will use gtx9XXm ?

I think next Y series will be replaced with Intel Broadwell first than the new Maxwell 9xx series.
Broadwell will be coming this holidays.
