Even I was thinking the same, it seems to be a monopoly by Intel to force users to upgrade their PC's to ultrabook which mostly have Low TDP processors and this year even Intel moved a step ahead, they have not released any standard TDP based processor in their i3 and i5 series. So only option left for the people demanding standard TDP processors is i7 series and this year a very few notebook vendors have released standard TDP i7 processor based notebooks.

There is no monopoly on Intel's side, its the Laptop manufacturers which are doing this. As far as not releasing M series processors are concerned, check out i5-4200M, it is there in some laptops in India. It's the companies which are pushing these low TDP processors onto the market as the general buyer has no idea what he is buying, and is happy with having an "i5" in their laptop, or, usually they dont notice the performance drop in applications as not every1 is a gamer

its all because of the general customer like anaklusmos said! Only 10% of them know that i# even has variants to it!
all they want is a FULL HD display, i7 processor and a really thin laptop coupled with large ram and they are good to go!

Alright guys a question for those who have got the product after redeeming the vouchers. How long will it show processing once the order is placed.
Click to expand...

I have applied for the vouchers on 31/08 and after 17 days got the code and bought three items including ext. warranty. I got two of the items and the third one is still left and their online store is showing status as pending so now you can get the idea. May be after Diwali I will give them a call to remind!:lol:

Since the market for PC is going down because of saturation in this segment and evolution of tablets, Intel came with a new series of portable PC with longer battery life and relatively good performance called Ultrabooks. They have invested a good amount of money in this and that is the reason so may U processors are launched this year and a few M while a handful desktop based ones.
Most of the non tech people just want very good battery life and ability to run email and office suits.

Non tech background people doesn't know the difference between U and M Intel notebook processors and most of them just want very good battery life and ability to run email and office suits. Infact my distant friend once said why my Y510P is so heavy and bulky and I should have gone with an Ultrabook but since I am a heavy user doing a lot of video/photo editing, gaming and other heavy tasks. I told him my requirements and differences between U and M Intel processors, he was just stunned!

That really took some good amount of time i.e. 17 days is a lot. So I think mine will be around 10-15 Nov delivery. @udit

17 days seems about average.. I just got an email yesterday that the first part of my order has been shipped.. That took them 13 days from the time the order was placed.. It might be a day or two before I get the parcel...

ShadowPlay on Y500 Single 750M

Yeah its a very good feature introduced by Nvidia but this was only supported in the desktop variants of GeForce GTX, so how you have recorded this from a notebook graphics card.

Guys I don't know who told you that the adp offer has ended but I got my adp warranty extension successful. I submitted the docs on 20th and they have been verified. Will receive the adp within 30 days. Although the customer care told me that it ended. Still I applied and got the offer. I suggest everyone do the same.

I think we ordered different speakers... I got the C1530 WW model 2.1 speakers.. They too are USB powered... WHich one's did you order?

$hadow said:
Which songs did you listen and how is the sound quality is there is any distortion or anything like that.
Click to expand...

Some classic rock, some current english stuff.. Some hindi too.. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with the speakers.. No distortion even at high volumes.. The sound is loud enough that you don't really need to push the volume to the limit anyway.. Bass is pretty impressive...
