yes i did..
but you will loose your okr..
performance was better than 8.1...but after some days of usage i clean installed windows 8.1 and it was far better than the factory made/customized(craps..bloatwares) by lenovo...

Do You have the lenovo settings software provided by lenovo ?

I registered my laptop on lenovopromo.net and also uploaded the scanned invoice copy and serial number 2 days ago but I haven't received any confirmation mail till now. Checked the spam folder as well. Should I send the 1099 rupees by courier or ask them to do something about the email?

They are lazy asses. You can do either. If you don't want to pay via DD, wait for their confirmation mail for a week. You can pay via CC, DC or net banking too online. They will give you a link.
Else you can courier them the DD, they will take around 20-22 days from the time you register to acknowledge that they have received your money via dd and will take another 12 days to send powerbank.

used the laptop for a while...3 months and counting...
initially it came with a lot of bloatware and the performance was not up to mark...so clean installed windows 8.1 pro (genuine cause i activated using the key...rtm version default key works on pro also.. ),,,though tested windows 7 also...performance improved by a lot...+ i have found a way to clean install with okr working..(97gb c: drive + 816gb d: drive..)...
also changed the display...the default screen is really bad...really very very bad,,,
now this laptop feels great..

Hi,
I am planning a to but y50 within a couple of weeks. I live in Bangalore (Koramangala area). Those of you who have bought your y50 from bangalore please help me by letting know the price u bought it for and the store name. I inquired at a nearby lenovo exclusive store but they have their price fixed at 79,990/-. I read a while back that Jakephilips bought it from midland enterprises, koramangala at 74500/-.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Dude.. u should probably be able to get the laptop for under 73k now. Contact midland and ask them.
i have been using the laptop for just about 2 months now...no serious issues except that i am experiencing video stuttering. Its quite irritating. Anybody else facing the same issue??

I put in an SSD day zero, that made everything smooth. The stock HDD is a mess. It is now in my PS3. Games really benefit from the 8GB NAND.
I would recommend an SSD to anyone who doesn't need a lot of space.
The stock HDD causes stuttering in games as well, no firsthand experience with that though.

How did you get the okr after clean install? And how much improvement is there after clean install? For example how much time does it take to shutdown? Because that's the only issue with mine. Starts within 10 secs but shutdown smetimes takes 1min.

For people facing video/audio stuttering, just remove indexing from c drive. Also disable hibrenation if not using. Helped me a lot. Also use SM player as there is no stuttering in that.

display is more troublesome than hdd...(as i have already clean installed windows thus no stuttering of audio)
also now a days game size are becoming larger and larger day by day..(almost 35+gb..),,thus small ssd like 128/256gb can't be enough..while 512gb or itb ssd price are way too high...
i have replaced the display(the stock one is really horrible..),,,and i am happy...

you have to prepare A WINDOWS 8.1 RTM/PRO DVD...(U MAY USE TORRENT AND THEN ACTIVATE IT BY YOUR PRODUCT OEM KEY ,,THUS WINDOWS BECOME GENUINE..;) MAKE SURE THE DVD IS MADE UEFI BOOTABLE NOT LEGACY..
DO THIS FIRST AND REPLY I WILL THEN TELL YOU THE NEXT SECRET STEP...;)
P.S THE SHUT DOWN IS ALMOST HE SAME ..~35-40SEC..TURN ON 12-15SEC,,,THE CLEAN INSTALLATION MAKES THIS QUITE YOUR PERSONALLY CUSTOMIZED OS

I have an original Windows 8.1 pro DVD. :p I guess it should be UEFI bootable. Also can you please tell whether you have installed the lenovo apps after clean install ? I agree most of them are crap but some like the lenovo settings and energy manger are good. Also the dolby home theatre is awesome. :mrgreen:

Does anyone know the contact details of zonal head of Bangalore region?

I'm not getting any response from the Lenovo Promo team on the status of my extended warranty - it's been almost 2 months since I submitted my documents.
