I completed NFS The Run on a single stretch over around 6-7 hours... GPU temp went just over 68-69°C.. and everything was absolutely fine.. :/ (mine is GT750m 720p version)

Thanks and glad to know that there are ppl like me around. :):)

The single gpu setup should run fine without a sweat on games.. kinda worried about the dual gpu setup. Especially with the heat in delhi.

Now can anyone please guide me through the whole warranty check-up process thingy?

Not sure what you mean.. you can check warranty on lenovo website by entering the alpha numeric serial number if that's what you are asking

Yeah. Thats what I meant.

I went to the site and entered my serial no. It says "Error : Machine Type and/or Serial Not Found !"

I did.

They said, the ones from whom I have bought haven't sent the rgistery papers etc yet. They told me to scan my bill and send it to their address and they would update it within three odd days.

Hey can anyone tell me how bad is the overheating problem in Y500? I'm thinking of getting one, with 2X GT750M in SLI and everything else maxed out.

I live in Nagpur, and I'm worried about its overheating, as my room temp itself is going to be quite high in summers.. So how bad is it exactly? Do I need to get a cooling pad at any cost??

went to order the gt650 1080p model on flipkart......item is permanently discontinued. =.= god hates me. Can you guys tell me how much performance diff. is there between the 650m and 750m. If it's not a lot, then i'll try to find the 650m locally,rather have a FHD screen.

Had the same thought. ... researched a little bit about the temperatures. . Depends on how you game... 2 hours would b fine with proper vventilation. But it would get hot... turn off sli if it worries you. . You can game without sli for hours... this is what I've learned. Where do you get sli setup in india btw?

Serms like you got the answer.. their sales support is pathetic. . But tech support seems helpful...

Around 10... maybe 15 %.. AFAIK, 750m is an overclocked 650m. Need clarification on this.

Max. I got was 3.5hr of continuous use, while web browsing in WiFi. I think movies will give around 3 hrs. After watching movie for 2hr, i still have 38-40% battery remaining, started from 100%. Sometimes when u check battery remaining, it will show 4hr, but i never got that much. Still I'm happy that battery life is better than my dad's 5 yrs old C2D HCL laptop(2.5hr)

The readings shown by the os are never correct and man u shouldn't compare a 5 year old pc with current gen.. even if the old one is not a gaming laptop. Average life of a laptop battery for me was always 1 to 1.5 years
