Is it just the Malaysian version that this laptop does not come with Windows 8.1 pre-installed?

there are two slot for ram in the y50.
but open up the back is really headache, need to exert some force.... scarely...
so if yours are currently 8gb, should be no problem adding another 8gb, costing around RM 250 depends on brand.
maybe check first... hopefully not some model with 2x4gb (should not be) shocking.gif

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the driver has been modified by Lenovo and can only updated from their site (already checked, their driver is 3 months outdated).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)

Is anyone having any issues with his/her wireless internet? My router is outside the room and I can only get 3 bars but with another laptop, I can get full 5 bars. I already updated the Intel Wireless driver and also the Atheros wireless driver from the lenovo website.

Hmm...I see. thanks for the response. Anyway, I think the problem has been reduced. I switch to firefox and the number of broken pages have reduced. Maybe Google chrome was the problem? hmm.gif I'm not sure.

Hmm noone is talking about the RM4,699 version with HD IPS screen, is it worth the extra RM600-700 for it? The stock screen doesn't impress me too much based on my reading of this topic.

I was reading some comments about the UHD model on notebookreview forum. Some users did not like the IPS display on that model. Some users mentioned it was an improvement over the basic model. However, I am not sure if it is worth the money.

I would say no because you can buy the basic model and change the screen yourself for half the price. But, you won't get the 'touch' feature.

The wifi issue is so bad. :'( So many frequent broken pages, so many pages can't load. Damn. I didn't expect it to be this bad.
