Do check Y500's problems & solutions in first post !!
Is the additional 1 yr offsite warranty only provided by Flipkart or would I get it even if I buy the laptop from somewhere else?

You should get the 2nd year offsite warranty + ADP from any authorised Lenovo store.......

Any info on the presence of the 16GB mSATA SSD and the max ram capacity? I saw that indian versions do not ship with the SSD, but some people got it. And also about the max RAM capacity, some said they got one 8GB stick, and so they had one unused slot - which means is it 16GB max?

Guys I have a confusion regarding 650M graphic chip ....
I checked graphic card comparision yesterday and found 650M wayyy below even a 100$ desktop graphic card ...are laptop graphic cards soo slow...but then how will it play games at mid-high settings??
Also I checked the reviews and it says it plays games at manageable frame rates at 1366x768 and 1600x900 and at full HD frame rates are quit bad...is it true??

The GT650M is just a bit better than my 2 yr old HD5670 desktop card. Laptop cards are not that powerful. Ya FPS is low for newer games at high settings with FHD resolution
No 16GB mSATA for Indians. Max RAM capacity is 16GB. I also have 1x8GB RAM stick

While uploading the pixels of the screen shot were reduced, so it's not as good as it should be.

well read many threads regarding Y500 made a lot of idea about it, I was hoping to know a few thing s about the lappy, though I am not in a hurry to buy the laptop , may be I will buy one after 4 months, should I buy this then or wait for the upgraded gpu and haswell processors, in such a type of similarly configured lappy and buy that one??
Please suggest!!!

Don't forget the time of the day & direction of sunlight in the game. Moreover the pic's quality was reduced during uploading.
Also don't dig up the grave as pratyush997 mentioned
Guys get your facts straight...the points where Y500 beats series 5's are:
Full HD 1080p Screen
2GB GT750m GDDR5 (instead of GT650 DDR3 in S03)
Ultrabay (Yeah, that's a killer feature to have)
RAM expandable upto 16GB
and the points where the S03 beats the Y500 are:
Ci7 3rd Gen 2.4-3.4 GHz (compared to the 2.2-3.2GHz in Y500)
Blu-ray drive
Subwoofer
Anti-glare Screeen
Now, people are to decide what'll do better for them. I'd personally go with Y500, since I'd get an option to setup SLi via Ultrabay.

S05/3 is upgradable to 16Gb too but it has 2x4GB whereas y500 has 1x8Gb.
Also y500 has a backlit keyboard and mSata slot which i don't think s series has (?)

I bought Y500 bcoz of following:
- Black colour
- Red colour backlit keyboard
- 1080p display
- 2 yrs with ADP
Earlier I was planning to get Samsung but when I first saw this in FK, I just ordered it before it got Out of Stock
128GB mSATA SSD costs 12k in ebay.in but its a nice upgrade......I'll consider this upgrade after 1-2 years
