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.

No,
the company wouldn't do that... It will definitely come
These sales guys know nothin.
Try telling them a problem they tell first thing to restart a computer like the person wouldn't have even tried that!

I remember the day, when I was mad at them because they were just not listening to me regarding the touchpad issue. They were continuously insisting on reinstalling Win8 using recovery. Then I emailed them the proof(posted by Admin at Lenovo forum) to support the solution (Actually one of the service guy suggested me this, he was quite knowledgeable)


Guys anyone with Synaptics touchpad, facing keyboard issues ??
It was working fine for more than a month, with Always ON USB feature ON.

How is the games performing under the battery power?

In battery power, GPU gets underclocked. You would get much better graphics quality in AC power.
Anyways, you can play games by lowering gfx quality. Till now I haven't played games in battery power for too long(5-10 min max.)

Ohh so you play on battery power.
When do you want to buy a new one?

 

[ariftwister]

Of course I dont want to play in battery power. I need to save when the power goes off.. For that I need 5-10 mins of battery power to play

Is that performance worse than Intel HD 4000 ?

Ohh sorry.
AFAIK cpu under clocks to 2.4Ghz I. E. turbo mode (boosting to 3.4GHz) is disabled on battery power.

What about GPU power?

 

[pratyush997]

What about GPU power?

Well Gt 650 on Sammy used to under clock from 950 MHz to ~ 750 MHz. Not sure about lenovo though. I think the boost might get disabled and the core clocks be at 850MHz

Thats fine...

 

[omega44-xt]

OK, just take my example:
I run NFSMW 2012 in medium-high in 1080p resolution. When power goes off, i just lower resolution to 720p & continue gaming.....thats it

Not at all a problem for me...

And another doubt wil there be a fps difference if I play in 1080p in 42 inch tv?

You shouldn't face any loss in performance because you folks got Igpu disabled and the hdmi port should be hooked up directly to Dgpu.
In short, everything should be fine

What I'm asking is, if I get 45fps in 1080p in 15" wil it maintain same 45fps in 1080p in 42" tv?
