Guys,

I need your help.

I feel that my laptop runs pretty warm under normal usage. I checked the temperature using core temp and it ranges between 45c to 61c. Also, the WSAD keys and the area just where the keyboard ends is pretty warm too. Is this normal? Should I be worried?

Guys, can anyone check and let me know if this is the temp you are getting on your laptop as well? I am getting 60c while transfering files from hdd, listening to some music and browsing the internet at the same time. Is this normal?

Played Far cry 3 at 1080p with ultra settings for 2 hours, smooth gameplay.
The GPU temp is 70-71 degrees while cpu's is 68 approx.

This much temp is okayish right?
Or any tips to reduce it ?

Sprinkle the laptop with cold water to lower temps. Works everytime.


On a more serious note: Those temps are far from even "warm".

Remove Adobe Reader bloat, install Sumatra PDF or Foxit PDF. Even Google Chrome can open PDF files.

Hi guys! I am getting the Y50 for INR 77600 along with the usual accessories. (bag, lenovo headphones, mouse) Is this price fair or I should haggle a bit? Also, since this is my first laptop purchase I wanted to know how long will this thing last? I will be using this for programming, browsing the web and some casual gaming.

I'm facing same problem, GPU core stays below 70C but laptop feel much warm. Can't even touch bottom part of laptop. I don't know if it's normal or not because it's my first laptop.

My laptop runs ice cold when browsing and playing music.

and gets little warm while playing games, but bottom part is not that hot, it's just the area near speakers and WASD keys.

Make sure you are running apps like chrome, wmp etc with integrated processor(Default) and not the nvidia one, if you dont require it's use.

72000 would be a better price for 4 GB variant with usual accessories. Try contacting a distributer directly and you can get it at 60k
