The Lenovo Ideapad Y500 Thread

[omega44-xt]

In my bill it's 2 years Onsite warranty, but when I carefully read what all were written, its mentioned "On site warranty for first year". I guess I'll contact Flipkart if something goes wrong. Moreover the Lenovo guys were satisfied with just my bill (Flipkart after all !!)

Guys can you clear my doubts.. We All knew that optmius and HD4000 is disabled in y500. So the 3DTV play should work right? If it is connected with 3dtv?
Because from what I have read from notebookcheck.net it says that "if optimus is disabled, nvidia 3dvision is enabled"( if the graphic card is supported)
gt650m supports 3dvision ( as stated in GeForce website) so 3dtv play should be supported as the hdmi output is rendered by gt650..

I think it should be supported, try it & inform us too here.

I haven't purchased this laptop yet..i will buy after my semester exam finishes.. If it is supported I will add that point to justify my purchase
So people who already have it can test and say

Sorry, but I can't give 100% assurance that it will support it

Let's hope that it will work

guys, nvidia driver update released by lenovo :
*download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/1fvl17ww.exe

and hey, slight update about the touchpad ;
i said before that the touchpad was a pain even after getting repaired..the entire touchpad is touch-sensitive, including the buttons..and the buttons aren't very easy to click..so the cursor moves when you click them.
it's actually a breeze to use with gestures..two finger tap to right click and touch hold to drag eliminates the use of the physical buttons completely, and the extra area sure is a bonus.
with the touchpad issue solved, this is one helluva machine

Forget about that I was in talk with a sales rep yesterday and she said lenovo has no plan to launch y500 750m in India reason being India do not need so much powefull gpu. I almost fell of my chair listening to her.

These guys are there coz company has to put some one as a customer rep. So they only want good english spoken and when you ask some thing tricky they will either put you on hold or transfer your call.

 

[pankaj_bhardwaj135]

Yeah....I totally agree with with you
Bloody morons
