Lenovo Z510 Users Thread

[soumik13101995]

Please help me out. I need to know that 740m in z510 is based on which chip? Gk107 or gk208? You can easily find out using gpu z or equivalent. Thanks

its Gk 208 i guess....the 64 bit version....the 128 bit is not available in india.....

I am getting z510 i7 model at 55500 at flipkart after discount. Yesterday I went to chennai but all authorised do stores said that the y510 and z510 have been discontinued now. I even confirmed it from delhi and kolkata dealers.
So is it worth to buy it now also.
Because I only have flipkart as the last option.Or should I wait .. for other models to launch in this range?Plz suggest.
thanks.

Even I had the same problem. So I have ordered z510 i5 with 1gb gfx online.
None of the other models provide mobile processors below 55k as far as I know.

Hope you ordered it from WS Retail (Flipkart), cause otherwise you're not going to be eligible for the extended warranty.

caching SSD is useless. Get a full fledged SSD later and replace the HDD.

 

[tanmaymohan]

Cache SSD is just for little speed boost. And yes all Z510 have backlit keyboards.

@Z 510 Owners: Does this one Lenovo Ideapad Z510 (59-405848) has removable (user replacable) battery or non-removable type??

 

[Simplon]

Eagerly waiting for reply from Z510 owners!

 

[Aakash11100]

Planning to buy Lenovo Ideapad Z510 59-405848.
What's the version of the Nvidia gt740m gpu : GK107 or GK208 ???

 

[tanmaymohan]

^^ gk208

 

[Aakash11100]

Oh... Thank You
Also i read that Bandwidth of the 1 gb varient is 11 % higher than 2Gb varient . What does that actually mean?
I am a bit confused between the 1 gb n 2 gb varients...
Would the 2gb varient increase gaming experience significantly compared to 1gb varient??
Is it really worth spending additional for the 2gb varient??
Thanks in advance n really excited for this series
