    The Lenovo Ideapad Y500 Thread

    Oh, no no. This guy gives the value on the pack as 50$ and category as "gift". So that way customs is avoided. Kind of not so legal. Thats how I got it. 650m SLI has issues with some games, as I checked on many forums. Lets exchange games settings once you get your beast. Congrats for the...

    Buying a Laptop (50K)

    You can get it from Flipkart if you are comfortable buying it online, for 61k (today additional 5% off on electronics + 5% off on some credit cards and net banking). Unless you are getting it cheaper in Nehru Place that is.

    Entertainment laptop, 45000-50000 suggestions please

    1) What is your budget? (INR or USD) Rs. 45-50K. 2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer? Mainstream; 14-15" 3) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like? Good aftersales, and if possible more than 1 year warranty in this price. If possible, ADP...

    The Lenovo Ideapad Y500 Thread

    Re: Importing from US 750m is not available in India yet. So if the GFX card goes wrong; they might as well give that excuse. I was also thinking about importing before I bought here itself. Besides, we get 2 years ADP here. Add ADP on the US site and the price goes up.

    See, according to Lenovo, GN35 and GN36 both are same. It wouldnt have fit in my system otherwise. Both have the same gfx cards. The seller might be saying GN36 but might send GN35. I can only say thats not a problem. No customs cause he sent is as "Gift" and in the invoice, he gave value 50$...

    GN35 is working great. As I said, BF3 at Ultra with AA off gives 40-49 FPS. Though I am still to tweak driver settings. When I start the game, one in 5 times it crashes in the beginning itself. I just alt-F4 then and try again, in 3 tries it runs. Once it runs, it doesnt crash. I am not getting...

    I mailed the seller and he said GN35 is fine. It fits perfectly. BF3 on all Ultra but AA off gives 45-49 fps.

    The Lenovo Ideapad Y500 Thread

    Yes it is. But I would rather go with both cards same, than combining a 650m with 750m, with 650m being the bottleneck for a small performance increase. Regarding the prices, they might go down if Lenovo doesnt scrap 650m ultrabay. From what I remember, Lenovo on its site was not selling 650m...

    Am at work (intern actually). My employers will freak out at the sight of some devil looking red fan :P So will check at home. Did open it up a little and the adapter looks fine. In total, on lenovo US site it costs 229+79 = 310 USD. The price of ultrabay did go to 130 USD once, but has been 229...

    My battery stays at 60% constantly and says "Plugged in, not charging". Is this an issue with the battery? Or the adapter? How do I confirm? How long is the battery/adapter under warranty? It doesnt happen always, at times it charges, at times I get this message.

    New lenovo Y500 shown up

    Also, does it mean, for guys who wanetd to go for 650m unltrabay, should hurry up as it might be out of stock in US soon. Otherwise, can one combine 650m with 750m in SLI?
