Oh no problem mate just sharing what I thought might be useful. Glad to see it made you so happy 
All those who are complaining that OP should've gone for the 1 GB version, well the price difference is only 4k and the extra(probably unnecessary) improvement of the 2 GB GPU is not all you get, but you also get 6 GB of RAM instead of 4 in the lower priced model. I can confirm this because I've confirmed the same from the Lenovo dealers in Kolkata(I saw their price chart).

Just curious if 2GB of GPU of my laptop be fully utilized ?
I think it should do.....

Yeah but you should also know that FK sells some customised versions.. (see what they are selling instead of google)
It is so because I remember a FK specific Trinity laptop by HP(probably G6-2010ax)
Never..

for the extra 7k i get these...& you spent about 7k (49k now) just for 2GB GT 740m
when you know that even 1 GB won't be completely used & you could have saved 3-4k by getting a 1 GB version
1. DVD drive
2. Great battery life
3. better GPU
4. backlit keyboard
Brother, u have gone nuts... 6770m is at the top of class 3 GPUs whereas gt740m is at the top of class 2 GPUs. Courtesy: notebookcheck.net
2gb of GPU memory is sort of future proofing although my CPU is not at all future proof.
The 1gb gt740m model is priced at 45990...

Man you missed that i didn't put m??
I said i have desktop version of HD 6770
I would have recommended this 46k version instead..

FK often mistypes the specs section! So its very much possible that its 6gb and not 4gb of RAM.
((please be 6gb...please be 6gb...
))Oww!! Sorry sorry sorry! My bad!!
I suppose, future games would have larger texture sizes and thereby needing more GPU memory. I maybe talking utter trash. Please bear with me.Future proofing??
Please give me the Lenovo dealer name and contact details where u had checked...

@thinkdigit : gr8 man... even i was looking for the samsung one, but it was SunE who told about the lenovo one... But i didn't know that you don't know about the lenovo one... It was discussed before your order.. However now it seems everything right for you ...
Are you sure your model has backlit keyboard ?? bcz 2 gb vram dosen't worth as everyone said...
Now cheers for your purchase... I am waiting for its arrival in local market.... or if it already has been arrived can anyoune tell me any dealer name in kolkata. ???

No problem we all were/are noobs at some points
Well see Larger Vram & future games with higher textures both are true but your GPU will not be able to process them quick enough.. so FPS takes a nose dive & then you turn settings down & at end of day you end up with using 512-768 MB of vram

Hey I posted this before also but now I see that it didn't get posted.
Anyways the dealer in Kolkata that I'm talking about is the Lenovo exclusive showroom located at eMall(ground floor) in Chandni.
Over there I got a quote for 49.5k and it was readily available. Maybe you could even get it for cheaper if you bargain a bit.
Some good news: I just bought this beauty(Z500) from flipkart (thnx Mom & Dad ). Expecting delivery by 12 Jul. @OP when are you expecting yours?

What the hell!!! Come on flipkart customer care executives!! I had placed the order over the phone and this damned guy selected the wrong address for shipping!!! I guess what happens, happens for good. Thinking of cancelling the order and getting the 1gb gpu version instead... Gotta call up flipkart.
And will visit e-mall today itself. If everything is well and fine and i get a few hundred bucks less, i shall buy from there itself...

First, Z500 with 1gb gt740m comes with 4gb ram whereas the 2gb gt740m model comes with 6gb ram. Confirmed. Damn you flipkart!
Second, we Indians are still not lucky enough to get backlit keyboard on the Z500. Its confirmed there is no backlit keyboard. Flipkart, please check properly before you post the specs.
Third, there is a Rs 2000 gift voucher redeemable from Lenovo website on registration of the laptop.
Fourth, flipkart is overpricing. Here goes the price quotes (KOLKATA). All prices are inclusive of taxes and on cash payment:

HENCE, i have booked the Z500 with 2gb gt740m for 47.8k and a friend has booked the 1gb gt740m for 42.5k at Computer gallery.
I will be going on Friday afternoon, 5th July 2013, to get it. Anyone interested to buy any of the Z500 variants may come with me for the purchase. We shall get better discounts as per my negotiations with the shopkeeper. PM or mail me for my contact details.
So, @SunE, please cancel your flipkart order ASAP and come over on Friday.
