Thanks Powerhoney.

Any cooling pads or mouse suggestions, guys along for Y500?

 

[deadzone]

For mouse buy logitech G400
Mouse pad - steelseries qck mini or Razer goliathus speed omega (I bought these)
Cooling pad is not required,purchase later if you feel the need.

Enjoy..

I will but the Mouse and Mouse Pad next month after my sems are over. I use my laptop on bed. Hence, was wondering if a cooling pad would be necessary. Currently, I use a wooden board on the top of the bed on which I keep my laptop.

congrats!

Sure.

I have bought the Razer omega speed.....it will come in the next week....
Got from indiatimes at 581 (cheapest online)

Anyone who needs g400,can buy from infibeam at 1617 ( after using coupon monsoon5) - cheapest online.

For cooling pad look at zebronics nc1000 ( not good to use on bed becoz the bottom is open), deep cool multicore x6.

I am suggesting the above from the research I have done....I don't own any cooling pad.
The mouse and mouse pad are coming to me next week.

Any cooling pad that can be connected under the laptop so that we cam use it in our lap? I use it lying down with the laptop supported on my legs.

Aerrow,

I don't know too much into these but before buying a cooling pad you need to make sure that the fan doesn't make too much noise.....the belkin cooling pad make a lot of noise.

Zebronics and deep cool multi core x6 have been reported to be good from online reviews.

The zebronics nc1000 ones are open from bottom and so the fan may touch the bed and stop...so it is best used when there is sufficient gab between the fan and the bottom support (leg,wooden bench,table or whatever).... may be you can check in local store...online it is not possible.

Check eBay.in

Okay...
Btw, they seem to be having some problems with the y510p in the US!!! First, it was out of stock everywhere, and now, they removed the SLI version!!!
Possibly due to heating or maybe driver issues...
No way in hell that's gonna be released in India any time soon...

 

[omega44-xt]

Still they may release it in India after rectifying the problem, selling older stock with problems here, as was done with Y500. Y500 was launched here in late Jan '13 but still we got ELAN touchpad, whereas it was changed in US in Dec '12 itself

 

[Harsh23]

Hey Guys just curious, I wanted to know what'll happen if something goes wrong with the one key recovery and win 8
will the guys at lenovo do something about it or what..??

 

[smartyrohan12]

@ All Y500 owners... How is the After Sales Service and Customer care response from lenovo... Please post your experience mentioning the place too.

WTH!!! It seems they can't stand one week without changing the specs...
First the SLI, then the processor (4700MQ<-->4702MQ) and now the screen type... RAM seems to have changed as well!!!
