The lenovo official website is even more crap...
Okay, so what we do know about the Y500:
1. Lenovo Ideapad Y500 (59-346619) has a GT650m with FULL HD display (1080p)
2. Lenovo Ideapad Y500 (59-379647) has a GT750m with HD display (768p)
These are confirmed!!!
Also, about the touchpad:
The older models of Lenovo Ideapad Y500 (59-346619) had Elan, newer(post-march) models have synaptics...
About, the Lenovo Ideapad Y500 (59-379647), no idea on the touchpad!!! :)

There were a major issue with the Lenovo Y500 laptop I had bought few weeks ago. Its serial no was invalid. When I tried to enter the serial no in Lenovo official website to check the warranty, it said the serial no doesn't exist. Contacted Lenovo. They said, its normal with those who buy new products. So they asked me to send them a scanned copy of my bill. They told me it will be updated within three odd days. Three days passed and there was still no update. So, I called Leonovo again and this time talked with their higher authorities. They said, they will give me a call back that day which they did. They told me there was some unique case with my laptop as their system isn't accepting my laptop's serial number. They told me to wait for few days so that they could sort it out or better I contact the ones from whom I bought the laptop.

I contacted Flipkart last week and let them know. They told me I will receive a call within 48 hours regarding this but it never happened. So, I called them back again. They said the guy who registered my complain registered in the wrong section. :banghead: They told me to give them 48 more hours and they will definitely get back to me regarding that. 72 hours passed and still no call. I was really pissed off by then. Called Flipkart on Saturday and asked them to get me in contact with their higher authorities. I told them, I couldn't wait further and I want my laptop to be replaced. They said their usual "We're extremely sorry for the inconvenience etc" and told me to wait till Monday so that their technical department can work on this issue with Lenovo and find a solution. Yesterday, I received a call from Flipkart and that technical department guy asked me to send a snapshot of the serial no etc at the back of the laptop. I sent it to him. Today they contacted me again and were asking more time :pullhair: . I told them I have had enough and I just wanted the laptop to be replaced which the agreed. So, The new laptop is on its way and would be delivered in few days time.

Absolutely crazy shite this. Thank god, I didn't sell my old laptop otherwise I would have been screwed. I hope all the guys check their serial number in Lenovo's official website to see if the serial number and warranty is right or not.

just managed 2899 =/
sigh =|
hw much are you all getting?
Click to expand...
lol what do you mean just managed 2899, thats a good score. did you check in nvidia inspector upto what clocks your gpu go to under full load? also did you check your full load temperatures?

by my calculations should be around 1000 mhz. with a 1200 mhz clock you can reach 3400+. :D this chip sure can overclock. i personally managed a max of 3400 on my 650m at 1200mhz clock

it runs all the games maxed out.... so didnt try overclocking yet.... during the benchmarks... both 3dmark 13 and 3dmark 11.... gpu temps went to 65-66 max...

in games like assassin's creed and gta, temps are under 75... and in racing games like grid 2 and nfs mostwanted.... temps average at 65.

gpu boost runs at all times allowing the clock to be at around 1060mHz i think.


what kind of temps do you get on the 650m when overclocked to 1200mHz?

i never checked my temps at 1200, but i constantly play around on 1000mhz and it never exceeded 66C even on full load. ive played games like crysis 3 and grid 2 too.
