The Lenovo Y50 Thread.

[rishi_sethi]

I am planning to buy the 4 gb version from here. Does anyone have any comments about the seller or amazon? Also if I buy from amazon, how much will it cost me to buy extended warranty? I can't buy from dostore since they don't support EMI for HDFC credit card.

Buy it from a Lenovo Exclusive store in your city. 4gb ones there are going for as low as 74500 with 3 year warranty.( Cash). and I guess 1500 more if paid by card. Then call your bank and ask them to divide the purchase amount into EMI's.
This way You will be assured of a lenovo authorized product, will get the product after seeing it physically , will get 3 years warranty and also pay an amount which is less than that of thedostore.

I am living in Kochi. I haven't seen any Lenovo exclusive stores around here. Does anyone know? In the lenovo website they list one that's 50 kilometers away from kochi. Maybe I'll go there I guess :/

Also, why does most online stores list it as Lenovo Y50-70? What does the 70 stand for?

Can't we get extended warranty on laptop purchased from third party reseller?
What's the actual process to get warranty extension ?

Call them first, greet them and say you are ready to buy y50 but need a minimum quote for it along with 3 years warranty. Get the quote and if you find it decent, visit there and buy it
Always better to buy an expensive laptop from a store, boot it in front of them, check for dead pixels etc too.

P.S- I am going to buy Y50 only it seems, 74500 is a killer price, next similar option is msi one for 125000. which is way above my budget

How did you register for extended warranty, I'm planning to buy one from snapdeal.

Registration for the extended warranty was done at Lenovo Promo

 

[interceptor47]

I did read the FAQ. There was nothing that said that you can't get extended warranty if you bought it from non-lenovo store. Even there was a field in registration form that asks about from where you bought it.
It simply means that we can get extended warranty even if it's purchased from third party reseller.

FYI - The FAQ mentions that the extended warranty isn't applicable if the Y50 is bought from few online retailers such as Snapdeal, Amazon. See that clause below:


27.Are products purchased online eligible to avail the offer?

Ans. Online purchases made from the website ???????..., Flipkart ( WS Retailer only) and Croma are eligible to avail the offer. The offer is not applicable for purchases made from any other online websites apart from the ones mentioned above. Thus purchases from websites “Snapdeal, ShopClues, Ebay, Amazon, Myntra, Jabong, Yupme etc. are not eligible under the offer.

If you don't mind the screen or can replace the screen late, try to squeeze in Y50. You'll not regret it.

It's not about 5-10 FPS. It's about 2x performance. So basically med vs ultra.

Slightly off topic philips. I would like to know from where you are going to buy the laptop in bangalore. The seller address or at least the area of purchase would suffice. Thank you.

I picked it up from this place in koramangala called Midland Enterprises. The gentleman in charge has an attitude problem but as long as we stick to busines its all good. Laptops great so far. I got the 4GB variant for 75.5k. Updated all drivers without a glitch! COD:Ghosts and FIFA15 breeze through without any issues. Will be testing BF4 and TC: Ghost Recon next. Will keep y'all updated. Cheers
