Maybe the temperatures were cooler due to the game too... Though I thought F1 2012 was a demanding game... Will check again if I buy another demanding game...

Guys I have asked fk to refund me my money
I bought 720p idea pad y500 but before confrming anything with fk I would like your opinions I need my laptop for developemnt purposes so better screen is very important (I was fooled by wrong description on fk)
Samsung np550p5c-s05in was my second choice
I am not a heavy gamer but screen has to be good
If there is any other model in the same range then please do tell

1) Touch pad issue is resolved in newer models?
2) What difference in elan and Synaptics

4) I can this of 65k locally?
5) what is SLI graphics option?

1. Yup, it has been resolved
2. Elan touchpad sucked... had many problems... The issue were more or less resolved in newer stock with synaptics touchpad, though the synaptics one isn't that great either...
3. As of now, only one model is available online... The GT750m one with 1366x768 screen resolution... The one on lenovo site is the same one on Flipkart...
Offline, i.e., locally, there are two models available:
1. Lenovo Ideapad Y500 (59-346619) with Full HD sceen and GT650m
Lenovo Ideapad Y500 (59-346619) Laptop (3rd Gen Ci7/ 8GB/ 1TB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) - Lenovo: Flipkart.com
2. Lenovo Ideapad Y500 (59-379647) with HD screen and GT750m
*www.flipkart.com/lenovo-ideapad-y500-59-379647-laptop-3rd-gen-ci7-8gb-1tb-win8-2gb-graph/p/itmdhe8gxhhggcfh?pid=COMDHE8FYE7KASYP&otracker=variants
4. If you want to know if you can buy this locally for 65k, get your arse off your pc, walk to a computer store in your locality and ask them!!! Duh!!!
5. SLI graphics means you'll have two graphics cards, the secondary card being in the optical drive bay!!! It's not available in India but it's available in the US...
I bought my SLI laptop from newegg.com through ishopinternational.com!!!

+1 to what Entrana said...
The GT750m is just an overclocked GT650m so I would suggest the FullHD model...
One thing to note is that the Full HD model is very hard to find... It's nonexistent online and you'll be lucky if you find it locally...
And, yeah, optical drive is available in the Indian model...

There were a major issue with the Lenovo Y500 laptop I had bought few weeks ago. Its serial no was invalid. When I tried to enter the serial no in Lenovo official website to check the warranty, it said the serial no doesn't exist. Contacted Lenovo. They said, its normal with those who buy new products. So they asked me to send them a scanned copy of my bill. They told me it will be updated within three odd days. Three days passed and there was still no update. So, I called Leonovo again and this time talked with their higher authorities. They said, they will give me a call back that day which they did. They told me there was some unique case with my laptop as their system isn't accepting my laptop's serial number. They told me to wait for few days so that they could sort it out or better I contact the ones from whom I bought the laptop.
I contacted Flipkart last week and let them know. They told me I will receive a call within 48 hours regarding this but it never happened. So, I called them back again. They said the guy who registered my complain registered in the wrong section.
They told me to give them 48 more hours and they will definitely get back to me regarding that. 72 hours passed and still no call. I was really pissed off by then. Called Flipkart on Saturday and asked them to get me in contact with their higher authorities. I told them, I couldn't wait further and I want my laptop to be replaced. They said their usual "We're extremely sorry for the inconvenience etc" and told me to wait till Monday so that their technical department can work on this issue with Lenovo and find a solution. Yesterday, I received a call from Flipkart and that technical department guy asked me to send a snapshot of the serial no etc at the back of the laptop. I sent it to him. Today they contacted me again and were asking more time 
. I told them I have had enough and I just wanted the laptop to be replaced which the agreed. So, The new laptop is on its way and would be delivered in few days time.
Absolutely crazy shite this. Thank god, I didn't sell my old laptop otherwise I would have been screwed. I hope all the guys check their serial number in Lenovo's official website to see if the serial number and warranty is right or not.

If the laptop is purely for gaming, then i suggest you go for the GT 750M model cause, neither the 650m or 750m is very capable of gaming maxed out in full hd.
and secondly, though people claim tht 750m is just a overclocked 650m, the 750m performs about 5% slower than a 670m while keeping temps in the range 70-75 at the most making me believe tht the 750m has a much better silicon ... as in the ASIC

They contacted me with e-mail as well but said its a special case and can't give me an estimation time. It was risky which is why I ordered Flipkart for the replacement.
