I hear you, but then i was poking around in notebookreview and many claim that the Gt 750M model allows you to choose the Intel card from the nvidia control panel.
Could you please try it and report back?

There might be h/w changes in the newer version... but ppl have even tried unlocked bios and couldn't get it to work.
I would try as soon as I get mine.. all my info is based on my pre - purchase study on the lappy..

You should be able to put whatever screen you want if the pins are supported… it may void the warranty if any seals are broken.

can any y500 with GT 750M model owners tell me if there is a MIC in port?

As an additional bonus you can remap the mic port to a headphone port

Indeed though the remapped mic port has awfully low power ie low volume will see if I can find a way to increase that

I forgot how but it involved registry tweaking. Ill post it sometime later however it's more of a gimmick really since the volume is really really low even at full. If I find a way to increase the power output of the mic port ill post it but if not then theres no point. Just said it could be done, not that it should…

guys... practically speaking... how bad would it look if someone having a 1080p display tried to scale down to 1366x768 while gaming...?
would it be better or worse compared to someone playing on a screen with a native of 1366x768?

768p on 1080p screen = blurry, ugly
768p on 768p screen = good
I personally recommend a 768p screen for those who considering gaming at ultra a must

Lol where did you hear that bs. As long as you disable aa almost everything should run in high if not ultra which is more than reasonable. Aa is always the limiting factor and honesty not required at the given ppi
