The Lenovo Y50 Thread.

[nitinvertigo]

Can someone upload the installation file for Lenovo Settings Desktop application(not the metro one!). I have reinstalled my OS and also re-partitioned my HDD (so no recovery) and cannot seem to find it anywhere on the internet. If anyone who has not re-installed their OS you can find the installation file in one of the following locations:

C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{42F8AFC3-7944-46CC-9689-94FF9869D0A7}
C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield Installation Information\{42F8AFC3-7944-46CC-9689-94FF9869D0A7}

Thanks in advance

MTM no. Should be on your box on the barcode sticker under the barcode if I remember right. Just match it with the drop down list on lenovopromo website.

You need to upload a scanned copy of your invoice/bill and a scan of the model number on ur box. Basically take a pic of the barcode sticker and upload it. Will take 1 week for them to update the details.

Guys any of you have updated your GPU drivers to 347.25 whql. If yes could you share some details like will it auto detect GPU or does it require tweaking,if its safe to update from stock drivers etc. Thanks.

Update: I just used geforce experience to update the drivers and everything is working fine so far (fingers crossed).

Guys, Tomorrow I'm buying this laptop. Please tell me how the wifi works on it? I have heard that connection drops frequently and speed is slow.​

My y50 came with a realtek wlan card. Have been using it for 1 month now and connection has never dropped once. I frequently play csgo at 30 ping constant with no issues.

Only once I found that the connection was bad but that too was due to my internet on that particular day and not the lappy.

There is also a variant of y50 with qualcomm atheros cards and only those have such WiFi drop issues as far as I have heard.

So pray that you get the realtek variant as there is no way to check without unboxing...

Can I change the bad version(card) if I get that variant?

Can I change the bad version(card) if I get that variant?

Of course u can buy a new card provided its on the y50 compatibility list.But y spend the extra buck on a new card. You won't be able to sell the atheros card to anyone either I think.

Let's hope you get the realtek version as stock. Atheros version should also suffice I guess but I cannot guarantee connection while gaming.

Again at the end of the day Indian isps barely give speeds up to 50mbps so high end ac lan cards are also not worth investing in.

I would suggest first use whatever you get and then decide accordingly. Personal preference is what matters more IMHO.

E.g I read all over the place that the screen is horrible and unbearable. But for me it was quite the contrary coz I have been using a worse screen before this. Sure its noticeable that the colours are flushed out at angles but I find it fine since I have had worse.

Similarly try out what you get first before deciding to pour more money.

Finally got the laptop for 77k with 3yrs extended warranty from Lenovo's showroom. I have tried Dragon Age inquisition at high settings but getting only 30-32 fps and below 25 in intense scenes. Graphics drivers are latest and the battery is on high performance mode. Please help.

Don't play on battery, it'll literally fcuk up battery life.
Play while the laptop is plugged into AC power.
