The Lenovo Ideapad Y500 Thread

[tkin]

reviews and benchmarks??

Let it arrive first

This is such a dilemma for me. I could still cancel my purchase, I see a lot of touchpad issues some even with synaptics :/ And apparently there's no Wi-Di either/
But bloody hell, the specs are so damn brilliant for the price, I can't get myself to cancel the order! Full HD+650M SLi for that price is irresistible

Stop going bananas over this, specs are great, price amazing, just get it, replace the touchpad if needed.

^I know right, it just doesn't feel right when your brand new laptop quite possibly turns out to be a PITA

Even after getting a faulty touchpad & keyboard, i will recommend you to go for it. Lenovo told me that they will replace my keyboard and mouse. I will give them my laptop tomorrow

Great, my next laptop will be lenovo for sure, I like a great service, even if they charge more for it(which lenovo doesn't).

Nerd why are you so worried? Come on, If there is really some serious problem with Y500 then flipkart will refund your every penny, no need to knock lenovo's door. but you have only 30 days to judge it.

Okay, ELAN touchpad on my dell, working flawlessly, not as many features as Synaptics(like mood sensor etc etc) but will do all the work, love features like the circular scrolling, pinch to zoom etc etc, also if you dig a bit into the registry there's plethora of config options there to make it work like a charm, so I guess people who are scared of ELAN has nothing to worry.

 

[Gtb93]

ELAN on dell was never an issue afaik.
It's just lenovo Y500s + ELAN that faced issues.

 

[pankaj_bhardwaj135]

Has lenovo then rectified the laptop touchpad problems???
then it's gonna be the best machine and the best purchase ever......

 

[anikesh102]

yep lenovo have rectified the problems if by chance u get touchpad issue..... dont worry at all.... just call lenovo service centre and they ll replace the touchpad top panel with synaptics wihin 5 days(depends on part availability) and everything ll be back to AWESOME!!!! i just got it replaced and i m more than happy now....

 

[sbnaul]

Hey guys i was reading the posts of this thread... just a noobish doubt... how do you make out as to whether the touchpad is ELAN or Synaptics ???

 

[Arnab.rc]

@anikesh great... was truly confused whether to buy it or not.. seriously.. a >65k mechine comes with touch-pad issue just not done..but again too much to resist from this awesome specs. Going with it... "jo hoga dekha jayega..."..
@n3rd any update there?
also got the same question here... by any chance can we see whether the touchpad is of elan or synaptic and the screen is fhd/hd?..

 

[Gtb93]

Even if you guys get stuck with a faulty ELAN Touchpad, from my observations here, lenovo has quickly acted on the replacement and delivered a fresh Synaptics system withing 5-6 days, which doesn't have any problems at all. So go for it!

 

[sanemate]

Flipkart is quoting it at 67k and change. Comes with 2 years warranty. Has anybody able to get it at a lower price? What about Lenovo stores? are they giving 2 years warranty too at comparable prices?

Also, I am buying this as my 5.5 years old Dell Vostro 1500 has got 8600m gt issues and it is behaving erratically. Will be taking it to repair though. In case I need to buy a laptop, should I wait for Haswell to release?

Thanks in advance.

Hey
Anyone here knows whether the indian version comes with a 16GB SSD as cache ?
Called FK and asked. They don't know.
I saw one of the US models in some random forum with 3632QM and SSD. Just wanted to confirm. About to buy this. Digit
Thanks.
