Y50 only supports 1 hdd or 1 ssd... shucks

Comparing it to Y510P SLI

+ RRP is RM100 cheaper
+ GTX860M Maxwell GPU (similar performance to GT750M SLI or GTX770M at stock clock, good overclocking potential due to good temperature, unlocked vbios overclocking could match a GTX780M's stock clock performance according to NBR forum).
+ Haswell-refresh i7-4710HQ processor (100MHz higher than i7-4700MQ, slight performance increase.
+ Dual-fan cooling system (MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better cooling).
+ Slim (0.9" thick).
+ Better build quality and design (subjective to users' preference).
+ Built-in subwoofer (even better sound quality).
+ Red colour USB3.0 ports instead of the commonly blue colour. (fit the laptop colour theme).

- Lack of mSATA or M2 NGFF slots (only one default 2.5-inch SATA slot).
- Lack of DVD drive / Ultrabay.
- Worse screen quality than Y510P (unless Malaysia uses a different screen which is unlikely).
- The size (not thickness) is rather big for a 15.6" laptop (15.23" x 10.37").
- Two USB3.0 ports on the left side are located very close to each other (might not fit two big-sized USB).
- The primary heat sources (CPU, GPU) are located under the WASD area (but again, the cooling is much better).

From months of following on NBR forum and Y50 tieba.

Still, can't understand why they put 4GB VRAM but not put the SSHD in since only one slot...

A reseller in China just confirmed that the 4K UHD Y50 is indeed Glossy IPS screen panel! 
Or it might be PLS screen panel by samsung. But who cares! The viewing angles and colours are superb!

This changes everything, at least for me. I will be praying and waiting for this model or the UHD touch model to arrive in Malaysian shore! 

Just hope that they can keep the price low 

2 GB uses new Maxwell GPU which is more efficient and more powerful than 4 GB old Kepler GPU, check internet to know more about it

and 1080p gaming rarely uses more than 2 GB GPU ram unless you are doing autoCAD then no point getting more

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Nvidia...r.114908.0.html, Maxwell 2 GB has 10% more performance than Kepler

I am not so sure about y50 uses Maxwell or Kepler but I am pretty sure 100% a 4 GB GPU wont be any faster than 2 GB GPU GTX 860m at 1080p gaming

here is the proof 2 GB vs 4 GB http://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/...4GB-Memory-154/, and heck 2 GB perform better than 4 GB

4gb vram on the y50 is also maxwell. It's been confirmed. Someone posted in the y50 thread in NBR forum.

the head phone jack is quite tight for mine too
i just lub with a bit of wd-40 , just push all the way, cant be wrong
