You can enable it from the bios.

1. Shut down
2. Press the recovery key near the charger port.
3. Choose BIOS SETUP.
4. Under Configuration, Enable 'Always ON USB'.
5. Save and exit.

i really wouldnt recommend always on mode. people report problems with keyboard and touchpad when its on.

Just a question, does anyone really need an always on usb? why would you use your laptop to charge your phones or tablets except when travelling maybe?

I have it turned off. But it's useful when you use the only outlet near you for the laptop charger.
I never shut down, just put it to sleep.
Did you know that when sleeping, it charges your phone in the 2.0 port even with 'Always ON USB' off?

Yes I need it especially when traveling

Wait.. What?

Actually the yellow port is for ALWAYS ON USB right?

only when the laptop is sleeping ;
if you enable always on usb, it'll charge your phone even if it's powered off.

I thought blue port (usb 3.0) has ALWAYS ON USB but the yellow port (usb 2.0) has that function according to manual

 

[entrana]

yeah the right side one is the always on. and the charge while sleep is also pretty cool lol

What problem?

 

[n3rd]

this driver? are you sure? works fine for me :/

*download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/1fto16ww.exe

Yeah works alright - just wondering since you were specifically saying Synaptics drivers - if you'd gotten it from synaptics website or something. I guess I just don't like this gesture crap and the large touchpad surface area.

What problem?

Keyboard goes haywire after sometime - typing up random keys. I'm experimenting on a workaround and will let you guys know if it works

 

[H2O]

Can't wait to buy it. When will it be available on Flipkart?

BTW guys, which cooling pad would be good for Y500?
