Oh so it isn't a fix then, I won't bother installing. I will wait for the guys to come over - but these n00bs would absolutely go on about how it is a driver issue until you repeatedly tell that it isn't and is a known hardware issue.

There's nothing to see. I just see benchmarks, and more benchmarks. Just like anupam_pb, I've seen both laptops, side by side. Their performance, be it gaming or multitasking[Fifa13,NFSMW,BF3,CODMW3,BO2,MOH:WF,PES13,FC3, Sleeping Dogs, HM:abso, DmC(yes my friends play way too much :/ )] and for me, Y500 is the clear winner. Plus, with the addition of an FHD screen and backlit , it's the more sensible buy anyday. Movies look amazing. ^_^

No no no, thou shall bow down to 3d mark, always, and forget FHD, get 640x480 cause that will run games so cool, better yet get a 320x240 and play all games at 1000FPS, because that what counts right? Moar FPS, forget quality, and if it loses to even one laptop in 3dmark, throw it out of the balcony, you must always have better performance, quality is for noobs, who needs a better screen, look at my stupid friend, he bought a 1080P monitor to play games using his HD7850, what a noob, he should have suck to 1600x900, cause who needs 1080P, 1600x900 is just as good, and where are those stupid people who buy mac books, retina, pffft :D :D

Contacted FK. All systems with fk were manufactured in or around july - 2012. This means all systems with fk have elan.
They contacted lenovo, they say its either elan or synaptics. Could be anything. lenovo guys trolling FK too..!! :razz:

Gear up ...
My laptop (from Flipkart) was manufactured on 21 November 2012, told by Lenovo. My touchpad got fixed after Lenovo guys opened my laptop & checked the wiring (cleaned wires connecting touchpad & mobo). Still ELAN but no problems from last two days.

Ok guys, I'm unable to do gaming in battery. Games struck a bit. But when I connect AC power it runs normally. Any solutions?

While playing game, if power goes off , then the game should run smoothly for atleast 5-10 minutes so that I can reach checkpoint or finish the race

On Battery power Turbo boost (i.e. 2.2 GHz boosts to 3.3/4 GHz disables) and it runs on 2.2 Ghz
So obviously It's hard on battery and may result in increase in Wear level
