Lenovo Legion Y530 updated with the Nvidia GeForce

Lenovo announced a new version of the more affordable model, the Lenovo Legion Y530, which will be equipped with the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060. Unfortunately, the more expensive Legion Y730 will still be limited to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti.

The Lenovo Legion Y530 with GeForce GTX 1060 will be available in Europe in October, with pricing starting at 1,400 Euro.

Already updated in Malaysian website, but still no option to customize it with GTX 1060

I like all the ports at the back not sides, the bezel is thin, great. But the keyboard looks cramped

when this Y730 available? this is the perfect size laptop i'm looking.

keeping my eye on this laptop for now.

Are you going to buy a new laptop?
Feel free to check out my review on Y530

I've read your review and it's great review overall.
Just too long and should have TLDR; part.

Btw, where and how did you get student price for the y530?
I wanna use my student card too.

Noted. Will add the TLDR part soon

Ask their sales representative at their online store website. Need to proof that you're a student with any related document

I was placing an order today but the Lenovo Msia site has problem accepting discount codes. It's not refreshing. Price remains undeducted except using the SEP18 code. I can see the url parameter showing eCouponEnable=false

The Chat Assistant is getting the team to fix it. Hopefully resolved tomorrow!

So buying straight from their website is safe? https://www.lenovo.com/my/en ? I'm looking to buy this laptop too with the student discount.

yup really safe. they are using UPS courier service
but bear in mine, waiting time will be around 1-2 weeks since they ship from China and your laptop need to spend some night in customs warehouse for clearance

unless, Lenovo website mention that they have ready stocks in Malaysia

mine ordered on 24/08/18 and only received on 06/09/2018

so the cheapest way possible to get y530 is via official website with 15% discount right?
now I'm considering y520 too, cheaper option.

Hey there,
I am facing exactly the same issue. I was also buying and the site got redirected to a different site and the discount code did not get accepted. I contacted the support team... Let see what happens now....

The Msia website is problematic. It now cannot even add mouse and briefcase as rm1 each. It adds its original price into the cart.

Anyway, I use the SEP18 code to deduct RM200 first. The remaining balance of 15% discount will be ‘refunded’ and the agent promised to include the rm1 mouse and rm1 briefcase

How to ensure they will refund you ?

Yeah do update us , i would also like to know how it be 'refunded'

GTX 1060 version now available on their website.
https://www.lenovo.com/my/en/laptops/ideapa...H/p/88GMY501020

Need to sell old laptop first before getting this one

unable to find in the customization option

Yours don't have this?

Awesome, and it still got the i5 option as well.

Price updates, using FLASH code:
1. i5-8300H, GTX1050TI 4GB, 8GB, 1TB*, 144Hz IPS
RM4428>3985.50

2. i7-8750H, GTX1050TI 4GB, 8GB, 1TB*, 144Hz IPS
RM4855>4369.80

3. i5-8300H, GTX1060 6GB, 8GB, 256GB, 144Hz IPS, 57Wh battery+170W adapter
RM5288>4759.50

4. i7-8750H, GTX1060 6GB, 8GB, 256GB, 144Hz IPS, 57Wh battery+170W adapter
RM5687>5118.60

*add SSD on your own since prices for storage are a bit high. I suggest Kingston A1000 240GB or Adata SX8200 240GB. Keep the extra cost in mind

All including 2 year warranty (for 1060 models, you need to select this option from customization page), wireless mouse, bag, 2x2 Wifi card and W10 Home. Also, you can opt for 300nits 72% NTSC 60Hz panel for RM164 less

Will keep updating this prices in future

Looks like the 8300H+1050TI model has become more expensive now. 8750H+1050TI model is still a bit expensive despite price drop. 1060 models are definitely looking good

I received shipment notification yesterday. Should be arrriving soon

i don't have this option at the time i was checking. this is great info

yes, there are some price hike. as my order got cancelled, to repurchased at higher price would be a waste.

Go for 1060 model haha

Shit I'm super anti lenovo, my y510p they didn't solder the nvme slot for me to add ssd, plastic break at the vent, and y520 screen is damn bad, they cut cost like no tomorrow. Haven't touch this Y530 physically yet but this deal is quite enticing, not sure if I should take the bait again

I'm anti Lenovo and Acer those days. Now I've owned both of them

Go for model, not brand. My Y530 is great so far

Spent some time researching more, seems Y530 comes with bad screen too. And what I saw in the y730 make me don't want it anymore.
Look at the subwoofer placed next to heat pipe, 100% will melt in short period of time, how retarded can they be?
Use some fucking brains la lenovo

Y530 got 300 nits 72% NTSC 60Hz or 144Hz...Only the stock panel is mediocre

Use every inch of space bro. This is the 17 inch version. BTW Y730 has excellent cooling. 3.9GHz all core (8750H) in Prime95 is unheard of.

i think y530 and y730 have similar cooling right? since their chasis is the same

A bit different, Y730 has slightly better cooling. Different chassis actually (dimensions, material)

Yes! It has arrived! Now asking for the remaining of 15% discount

Damn, gorgeous laptop. Tried at Monaliza KB Mall I'm really like the design and keyboard.
But I'm in dilemma either go for Y720 i7 gtx1060 6gb or this Y530 i5 gtx1050 4gb, and I'm still lurking around to justify which is which.
Haha. Update us with some review later sir.

1060 no brainer. very huge improvement from 1050 to 1060. nowadays minimum need 1060 to run most of the games smoothly

too bad 1060 come with no warranty. haha. that's very huge reason to pick 1060 over 1050.. price differ for 1060 over 1050 is rm500 only.

Received email from Lenovo Msia Customer Service today:

“Kindly be informed that we are processing the remaining refund of RMxxx.xx to credit card xxxx.

It’s estimated to be released to you in 7-15 days (the actual releasing date depends on bank’s procedure and parameter).”

Quite happy with my purchase so far. The fan isn’t loud but playing small time games like StarCraft so far. Lenovo app prompts to update BIOS, smooth. Battery can last more than 6 hours if not running heavy stuff. I bring it to my office everyday, and on my business trip. Only charge it when I’m at home and hotel playing games

Hi, how did you get the prices for these? For some reason, I am unable to replicate your prices for the laptop on Lenovo's website. I am particularly interested in the first option. Is there a limited timeframe for these prices?

This is with FLASH code applied. Now different aldy

I got my refund few days ago. Credit card statement confirmed that.

One minor issue, I noticed my Virtual Box only showed 32-bit options. My OS is 64-bit. Turns out, we have to manually enable the “virtual technology” in the UEFI. All my old VMs are able to run on this laptop now. Not sure if it was disabled during the BIOS update prompted by Lenovo app

Hi all, i am not student.
Is there any method can get 15% student discount?

now Shopee RM3150 is it cheaper than lenovo website

No, use other promo codes

81FV00QUMJ is a good value if you only need 8300H+1050 and don't mind low sRGB

intel OPTANE 16gb is it good compare to ssd?

No

This laptop is actually highly rated in China as Y7000. Most of the reviewers recommend this over Helios 300 and HP Omen in term of heat dissipation ability. Some even said that it is better than ROG Strix Scar with GTX 1060. Is this true?

better just buy ssd instead optane that just accelerate your hard disk.

Which Asus model you're refering? HP Omen 15 dc has slightly worse cooling (still good enough) while cooling in Helios 300 is mediocre

GL504

Bro is the ssd from Samsung? I heard Lenovo using their own ssd which is slower a bit.

About the same cooling

According to hardware maintenance manual, 256GB SSD is Samsung PM981

Wow thx a lot!

Sir do you know the difference between y7000p in China with our y530? Jz saw lots of positive reviews on that laptop over y530, planning to order it from China...

keyboard layout need to be care of. might be different.

Ok Thanks!

you'll see this kind of keyboard layout.

Is this 1060 max-q or normal 1060

Full 1060

For anyone who doesn't know, you can get 15% student discount on this device, need to show student id to customer referral. I got 1k discount for top specs (without hard disk), not a bad deal for student !

The promo only applies for Y530 model or across of their device?

I think apply to all model. You can go to their official website and ask their online chat for confirmation. They will give you a promo code to use in 10 minutes.

Thank you for your info Will surely check it out.

Btw do they provide installment plan for a purchase?

Just have a chatted with their sales person, unfortunately no installment

Provided the 15% discount, it's already a big bargain.

I mentioned this quite long time ago. I used 15% discount too

Hmm I don’t think so

How long does the deliver took? I waited 5 days dy still haven’t on shipment

At least 2 weeks

Acer predator helios 300 vs Lenovo y530, which one has better cooling?

Y530 no doubt

For the 15% student discount do they do verification? Lol my student id expired years ago

i manage to grab this laptop with student discount. hehe.

GTX1050TI got how many variant ???

i think only 1, Y530-M8MJ

-8th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-8750H
-15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS (144 Hz, 300 nits)

May i know how do you guys make payment at lenovo malaysia website? I tried to use credit card but transaction always failed.

Then i tried direct deposit, but i am unclear wuth the instructions privided.

Any sifus here can share your experience?

debit or credit card?

im using visa credit card, success if 1st try

Visa credit card. I am using Maybank card. Not sure whether is Maybank problem or not...

im using maybank too. might be credit limit or max amount reached?.

Will try again tomorrow morning. Hopefully is their system error. As i guess many people buying while they have 12% discount.

Anyway thanks buddy for your info.

better use student discount 15%. they only need student card and email. maybe u can ask around for id, hehe

But check student id name and cc name not same, then how?

You should call the customer service, Its 24 hour. I used to have the same problem.

it doesnt matter. just chat with customer service. they will ask student card and email. yesterday i gave them my wife's ID.

in checkout, im using my credit card, no issues.

But I guess at least we must use a real student ID either from friend or relative la.... I am grad long time ago. Unless some of you willing to borrow me your ID

I think Maybank/Lenovo system got issue yesterday night. Tried again just now, and it is able to process my order without any problem.

nice, which package u bought?

student id how much discount ???
what other discount can get ???

current discount around 12-13% (code = FLASH), student discount 15%

so max discount can get is 28% ???

I got the 1060 version, with i7, win10 pro and 16gb ram upgrade.

does not stack

wow..

Hey guys, anyone replaced thermal paste for legion y530? may i know is it hard?

Me. Not hard

Suggested things to note before i try my way in? Would appreciate if u would share the step by step, and recommendation of thermal paste, thanks man

Be gentle when taking off the back cover, otherwise you might break the clips

Unscrew all screw at the back cover, pry out the cover gently, unscrew the screws on the heatsink according to the numbering on it
http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/wh...d-metal.806840/

Worth repasting ? Or no major changes?

Definitely worth. Around 20C difference (not just me, but a few other users too)

Ok thanks ! Will try it

i ordered on 12th december. now in route. should be reached my place on friday. hehe.

Anyone knows where can I buy laptop power adapter for Y530? The Power Adapter Cable Tip broken
