I bought mine yesterday, the 4gb version from lenovo store in delhi at 74000. It comes with 1 yr warranty and 1 year accidental protection.
Now I need to send a DD of rs 1099 to lenovo bangalore to get 2 years extended warranty and a lenovo powerbank of 10000 mAh.
Will do it soon.


and No, no other laptop with similar power even under 1 lakh.

P.S- I got the Chei-Mei display. contrary to popular belief, after calibration, it looks better than the auo one (Maybe i am a bit partial :p)
But it is no way a poor display, viewing angles suck but colors look good after calibration. Much better screen than my old laptop.


Bought mine from same area as u...same deal same goodies...dunno if same store or not...still dont have games to test the beast...all my data got lost with old pc...:cry:

I registered my laptop on 1st of October and yesterday I got a mail saying that my documents are validated and I have to pay Rs1099 within 7 days or else my registration will be cancelled. But nowhere in this thread I saw anyone being asked for payment. Did anyone else get the same mail? If so can we send the DD thru speed post or only thru courier ?

Hey guys yesterday I updated my 4GB version Y 50's nvidia drivers and boy the performance leap was phenomenal!!! Now I can play watchdogs with ultra settings at constant 30fps avg(i felt it to be a lot smoother that before). Also many games like Crysis 3 and Battlefield 4 have become more smoother than before.

Does anyeone have any idea whether we can use gamestream on our gtx 860m??

Laptops bought after 28 September will only get the extended warranty on paying 1099 dd. Plus you will get a lenovo 10000mAh power bank worth some 4000 which will be couriered to you once they receive your dd and encash it.

I am facing a strange issue. While checking my GPU info in GPU-Z, the Bandwidth section initially shows the correct value i.e. 80.2 but after sometime (10seconds) the value changes to unknown. Also under the sensors tab, all the values like core clock, temperature, load etc are zero. sometimes for 1 or 2 seconds the correct values are shown but then they again become zero. I am running driver 344.11. below are some screenshots.

if your laptop is only a week old, don't waste a single minute. Call Lenovo and claim DOA and get a refund or a new piece. If you can't reach them through the phone, report the issue through their website so that you have it documented.

If your laptop is more than a week old, then the only option you have is to get it repaired or get the keyboard replaced.

You need to stress the GPU a little for it to remain in performance mode. Try playing a game in windowed mode and then check GPU Z

Can anyone please send me the link to lenovo settings that comes with this laptop. I tried but could not find any. So if any one can help.

I bought the Y50 last week and faced this problem too. Basically the lenovo settings application that came preinstalled is a deprecated version, they have since replaced it with a metro app which you can search for in the windows store. Check here for more details.

I heard few wifi issues in the machine,Any reviews on its wifi card?

Wifi card is not the best wifi card you will get in a gaming laptop. I haven't faced any issues while normal browsing, youtubing etc.
But while gaming online on Fifa 15, there is a slight delay sometimes, like once or twice every hour when ping goes as high as 700ms when it is usually ~200ms for me. Used to happen with my pc's external wifi adapter too. But no such issue on my friend's alienware.

So if you game online religiously, you should be using an Ethernet cable anyways.

I haven't had a dropped connection even once till now on this wifi card. Though the range sometimes bounce between 3 bars and 4 bars.

Write a mail to Lenovo... They will respond in a day or 2. I paid through DD which they recieved the next day itself. But no confirmation mail for 5 days. Then I wrote a mail asking my payment status and then they responded that its successful.

After how many days of paying did you get the powerbank??

My wifi card is from Realtek.The range of the wifi card is way better than my brother's samsung laptop. Never faced any issues. Catches signal where my phone,tablet and another laptop do not. Satisified with the performance

So After stressing only will it show correct info?? Never had any such problem with my previous laptops gpus: ati 4650 and nvidia 650m.

Hey, I paid on 11th and no confirmation mail from lenovo's side yet. I even mailed them regarding this but no reply from their side. Have you got your powerbank?

For those still pondering over whether to get 2gb version or 4gb version, Bethesda has released a statement regarding it's latest game Evil Within that atleast 4gb vRam is required to play the game the way it is meant to be.

So I guess that should clear all doubts regarding the future games, whether they would utilize more than 2gb ram or not. Better to buy a 4gb version only because REMEMBER, you can update ram, screen , hdd later but vRam cannot be upgraded :)

have you played that game?
i have downloaded and played that one..
the game is a ported version from console...it's aspect ration is not 16:9,,you will get black borders up and down the screen.
also the fps is locked to 30,,you can't get pass it (locked due to porting..),,gameplay is good but the graphics isn't..
IF YOU HAVE GOT UHD DISPLAY ,,AND YOU WANT TO PLAY GAME @4K ..THEN 4GB IS FEASIBLE.. OTHERWISE 99.5% GAMES REQUIRE 1GB-2GB GFX CARD...
IF THE DEVELOPER SAYS IT NEED 4GB OR+ CARD THEN I WOULD SAY THE GAME IS'NT OPTIMIZED OR BADLY CODED..
ALSO UPDATE GRAPHICS CARD DRIVER REGULARLY TO GET THE MOST OF THE GRAPHICS CARD..
FOR THE BUYERS I WOULD SAY "GET THE 4GB ONE CAUSE THE PRICE HAS DROPPED NOW AND AT LEAST YOU CAN BOAST ABOUT THE EXTRA 2GB(more or less useless memory):p

There is a way to get rid of those black borders. Also watchdog needed more than 2gb vram too I guess.

rest assured they will respond. Today I got the official mail from Lenovo regarding my successful payment. I also sent them the DD on 11th. You can check yor status on lenovopromo.net with your ticket number. If it shows valid then you are fine. Also try to call them on the number given in the first mail they sent. Mostly it wont work but sometimes it does.

I did not get the powerbank yet. In the mail they mentioned that it might take 12 more days for the powerbank.
