I was planning to recover my laptop, but that would repartition the hard disk to factory state. So, now I can't just format C drive w/o affecting other drives
Why don't you try refreshing instead? It'll restore your laptop to factory condition, only your personal files won't be touched. You'll need a windows 8 disc though..it's under the general tab in windows 8 settings.

Hey guys just bought the Laptop at INR 65K from a local dealer.....awesome laptop with mind blowing specs...anyways i am also having the dvd drive issue(ie. it wont eject manually) is there any solution to that or im gonna have to live with it ?.......Also a buying advice if you are trying to buy laptop locally go for the biggest dealer/supplier in town because the margin for each gets added when you buy from a dealer and dont feel shy to bargain 65k is the price after tax so you can bring it down to atleast 66k....and guys thank you for keeping the thread active i bought this lappie just because i followed this thread.....kudos to you all..

Re: Importing from US
It means that for all the import charges plus cost of product will be 57k.
And what about the duty of the seller if the product got stuck in the Indian customs will any reshipping vist be levied on us.

That was a sweet deal you got there..I am assuming you are not from maharashtra..I bought it for 68k
..the dealer just wouldn't budge. On the dvd issue i just got of the service center people and their response was apathetic just as anticipated..they told me to call the toll free number again. I have been trying their line since yesterday but no one is responding. Let me know if u make any progress

Re: Importing from US
750m is not available in India yet. So if the GFX card goes wrong; they might as well give that excuse. I was also thinking about importing before I bought here itself. Besides, we get 2 years ADP here. Add ADP on the US site and the price goes up.

got the y500 today 66k with 3 year onsite warranty seemed like a steal. i can confirm that the march manufactured models have synaptics HOWEVER the touchpad is still dodgy. its not unusable but now and again it goes here and there and the no button concept will take a little getting used to.
3-year onsite! Thats awesome! How ocme though? WHich city? Maybe I will push my dealer for the same

I brought it off the distributor still couldn't get a better price..the guy threw in a mouse and a 4gb pen drive. Anyway i have put my dvd writer for replacement, any one else with a similar problem?

In the zone
Been a bit busy, looks like plenty of people got theirs here
Service has been shitty - the morons sent same ELAN touchpad first, then they sent motherboard (WTF?) second, and third time, they sent the right synaptics touchpad. That said, they're still offering onsite services, and I live in a remote area etc. So I'll give them that.
Finally, the laptop is incredible. Love it - would've gotten rid of it ages ago for the shitty service if I'd thought it was bad. Laptop is top notch and I've not had any heating or throttling issues. Battery life is very decent too. And it's super silent, so yeah, all in all - love it

best part is it always remains cool and silent. i played battlefield 3 for 2 hours yesterday. it ran nicely on 1080p and no heat at all, except when you touch the exhaust
