The Lenovo Ideapad Y500 Thread

[rider]

Hi! Those are very good specs for the price, I was searching for a Laptop like this, but I read at a lot of places about its faulty elan touchpad, do these Indian ones come with that shitty elan touchpad or do we get the synaptic one which works well? Please reply, I need to get one soon, Thank you..........

AFAIK it comes with Elan touchpad.

Elan that bad huh? My Dell 15R also comes with Elan, though I will be using my Deathadder in home, but outside... is the Elan that bad? Hell.

Don't know much about elan touchpad but andy2703 and others complaint about it. Mine dv6 comes with synaptic touchpad and it works like charm for me. It is the second best touchpad I used after apple macbook pro.

Yes it does come with the faulty touchpad.but the lenovo guys replaced it within a day with a synaptics touchpad.if u re lucky u myt end up getting a model with a good touchpad as apparently only a few models manufactured during novemeber hav this problem.i was one of them !

Which touchpad do u have ? Mine is ELAN

Promising someone to deliver the product at the time of payment and then refusing it for no reason is clearly a cheating.
They returned my money after a month by calling and emailing them hundred of times.

No it isn't. If they'd left you without any money, that's scam/cheating. They could have reasons like product going out of stock or something - which is unprofessional and poor, but that's it. What else would they have to gain from it?

Dude, you can't understand when some unknown authority takes your 55k and return it after a month. They gained the interest money by putting in their account for a month. The product was recently launched and they hiked price tag after an hour of purchasing. In my case they were providing me a big cash back which might getting em some loss. It seems like you are a flipkart fanboy. Nice to meet you.

If they didn't return my money it would be a fraud or say simply a "chori". This was clearly a cheating which your ego can't admit. It's not my bizarre conspiracy!! understand! many people like me suffered this from flipkart. I was just trying to warn other fellas.

Well I personally don't know more than a few people who are not satisfied with FK, they generate over $100mil revenue, using your theory if they wanted to make a profit(by holding cash for a month) they would have to do so for atleast 50% of the customers, I don't hear much noise here.

woooo thats scary, so Lenovo's quality control has come to this, its like a lottery out there. Well I am having second thoughts about buying it now, considering I am not exactly those lucky types. Its a shame really coz the laptop really is a gem otherwise.

May be because most of the people order as COD. This is the safest way to order. Their order of above 50k might be rare. BTW It happened a long time ago like 15 months and was also discussed in our TDF.

The official Price is Rs 64,290.....so it would be even less at a local shop, I'd suggest not to get from any online retailer if you can find one at a local shop....

I did have elan .had problems from day 3 onwards.but the thing is the guy came and pikd up d lappy,replaced it with a synaptics touchpad(no problems till now) and delivered it bk, all within 24 hrs!

He's right.Even in stores they quote varying prices from 65k to 68k.But after bargaining i got mine for 63k from a Lenovo flagship store

I'm talking about the products above 50k in which there are no such reliable options. Stop making fun, okay!!

Hehe, sorry buddy, you are right though, I live in a prominent section in kolkata, a mega city as it is, and all couriers access my house promptly without any issues, so never faced much issues
But others do have issues at times, even with bluedart/flipkart.
