It had touchpad issues earlier which is now fixed in latest stock (14 march manufacturing models in Mumbai and Pune). It comes with 1 year onsite (where technician comes to your home) and 1 year offsite (you will need to take it to the dealer in 2nd year) warranty. Both years have accidental damage protection too. So you are pretty safe. Get the latest stock (March manufacturing)

Anyone tried any news games on this y500 laptop ?
And what about the latest NVidia 314.22 drivers?
Got my laptop a week ago and I updated the NVidia drivers and just tried cod mw3 , black ops 2 , fifa 13 and blur on it ,got a bit of stuttering with fifa 13 on ultra settings (until turned on vsync and triple buffering from control panel) ,mw3 ran without lag , black ops also ran without lag.
Also I read someone saying running black ops 2 at 720p on medium to high setting, shouldn't this graphic card be able to run black ops 2 on ultra - high setting on 1080p [*www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-650M.71887.0.html]
Only problem I seem to have is despite the games running fluently on ultra settings , sometimes I get slight micro stuttering (very little to notice though) , anyone else got this issue here?

Guys..i really love this laptop and is this still available in Chennai ?
Because I heard the models in flipkart are permanently discontinued though I'm gonna buy it from local store only..
How can I check if it has faulty elan touchpad or synaptics?
My dad delays purchase of this laptop for 2 months. Should I hurry him, n buy it now itself or wait for 2 months?

4th gen will be expensive so I will stick with this model.. What's the alternative to this laptop? ( featuring gt 650m)
Hello guys,
I'm looking to buy Y500 from USA,but I will most probably return it to India and I will be using it there. As i am in immediate need to buy, I cannot delay the purchase till I go..So my doubt is, will I be able to use the one I got here in India as there is power difference (110V us, to 220V ind).. Please do answer..

Lets wait and see
Edit: Nope it isnt true..

Anupam and jamiejako, did you guys check the warranties at *support.lenovo.com/en_IN/product-service/warranty-status/default.page?
When I checked here, it says 1 year limited cary in warranty. Is it showing the same for you? I was told its 2 years ADP, so do we need to update that we bought or something somewhere?

Mine one was showing 1 year onsite warranty + ADP. Then I contacted Flipkart, now its changed to 2 years.
