So I managed to take a few screenshots when this "calamity" happened.

Pics are as below: (pretty self-explanatory in my opinion)

So no mention of ANY NVIDIA in ANY place......shocking really..

How come [MENTION=290660]Ayushj[/MENTION], you managed to get the 4gb version? Over here (Kerala) they haven't even heard of the model. And even in the do store site, it is in preorder right?

Ayushj

Right off the assembly line
Maybe it's ok not to have ac but the network card has poor range and speedtest shows speeds at 1.5mbps when the same wifi shows 5mbps on my phone. And yes i have tested that multiple times. Maybe my network card is faulty?

[MENTION=291272]panzer1[/MENTION] they had a couple of pieces at the lenovo store in Delhi. My luck i guess. I'll post pictures tomorrow evening for proof if you don't believe me though ;D

if you can afford a 512 gb ssd with a y50, why not buy a custom Clevo/Sager laptop instead from Xotic-pc? :confused:

Gurgaon and Nodia both are far away from my place :(
Is the extended warranty offer available now? If yes, then when will it end?
I'm thinking of getting the 4GB version but i'd also like to know if there is any advantage in getting the 2GB version? Budget is no problem.

No practically no advantage of 2GB over 4GB one , go for 4GB as already stated by many in this post.

Hey Chetan,

Yea I was on the phone with the Lenovo rep's today for almost 4 hrs !! We tried nearly EVERYTHING!!
The Lenovo rep guy also took remote control access through some Lenovo software (similar to Teamviewer)

So the basic conclusion is that he has arranged for the Lenovo engineer to come to my place and to REPLACE the MOTHERBOARD.
I spoke to a few friends of mine as well and they told me that its also a possibility that the Nvidia GPU may have gotten fried ! (I don't know how that's possible, but oh well)

Well that is good ... but if possible, try to give up this piece and exchange with a new .. possible 4 gb varient one .. coz If u had encounter this problem once .. there is high chances that you may encounter this problem again (with same piece) in future too .. !!!

Guys, if we find a defect and want to replace the 2gb with the 4gb one, will we get the extended 3 yrs warranty.?
Coz i too thought the 4gb one wasn't coming to India and got the 2gb one instead.
Thanks.

I guess yes.

At all people buying y50 now, My friend bought one yesterday from Nehru place and got it billed with date of purchase 14 aug, and is now eligible for extended warranty. IMO All laptops billed before 15 aug are eligible for it. You can register for it on their website till 31st august to get it.
