5% wear down in Battery is normal & you don't have to worry about it...It may increase slightly & stabilise over time.Give it a month or two...If you get a very low battery Life,then contact the support...

5% wear is not much... if the wear goes beyond 10%, then go to service center and insist to RMA the battery

U should call up Lenovo ASAP and have them replace it! 5% is tooo much for a laptop thats not even 1 week old! my 2.5 yr old thinkpad has a wear level of only 8% !
call asap!

Don't alarm him dude. Yeah, it should be 0% after 4days but every thing does'nt goes as planned , that's why i told him to go to service center if situation deteriorates ... and also check with other software , don't always rely on single one....... and 8% wear after 2.5 year is exceptional generally after 2 years the wear levels are 15-20%(depends on usage)... my 3 year old gateway laptop has a wear level of 38%.

My 3-month Sony Vaio has a wear down of 10% while 1.5 year old XPS 15z has 6% wear down.Don't Go Crazy on Specs..You have a lot of Time for visiting Service Centre to replace if the matter gets worse..From my experience,just observe the Battery life for a few weeks,& give the battery few charges & then proceed...
I just ordered this,few hours ago.Has any one of you have this laptop dual booted with Linux ? Apparantely,Lenovo has hardcoded Z580 to run only Win8 (this is what i heard from others),irrespective of the fact whether you have SecuredBoot turned off,you wouldn't be able to boot off any other Os.

^^i am not sure.. but first install the distro ... and f it doen't works then go to bios>security and turn off the secureboot mode and also change the BIOS option from UEFI only to UEFI/legacyOS .
YOU can also try custom bootloader like GRUB albeit at your own risk

Atleast on Z580,all this doesn't seem to work.I am not quite sure,if we have any Z580 or Z500 owners running Linux alongside win8 on these laptops.
Yes,my primary bootloader would indeed be GRuB.Although,chainloading the bootloaders is what i might want to do.
Researched a lot and was fixed with Z580 , but then came across this Z500 having a better G card.
Anyone here can confirm that the 740 m is that much greater than the 635 m so that it can justify the 5k price difference ?
And people in Blore , where could we get the Z500 at the cheapest?

Actually i saw on some forums that this solved the problems on Z580...
well, i can assure you that 740m will have a much greater performance than 635m, it has greater performance than even 640m .... but it's not only about GPU but also see the form factor of z500 , i mean its much thiner and portable than 580 although a bit heavier...

I got this laptop with a broken DVD Tray 
,packaging was short of being passable or abysmal.Since i am a owner of HP Pavillio dv 2005ax,i am having second thoughs on if i should cancel my replacement order & get this instead HP Pavilion 15-E015TX Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 1TB/ Win8/ 1GB Graph) - HP: Flipkart.com
Although i guess the ATI Radeon HD 8750M on this might be inferior to the GT740M,

Hi guys I'm going to buy this laptop from market or flipkart 
I am unable to find gaming reviews for this laptop. (Don't redirect me to notebook.net they have reviewed the GK107 version)
I want to check the fps for this particular laptop. Can anyone please give the fps on GTA, Crysis 3 and BF3? OR atleast give an idea? Thanks.
Also, in what color is it available in flipkart? Brown right... so how does it look in dark chocolate?

Hey, actually I would like to know the battery also! How does it perform:
In mild usage, light browsing or simple coding or blogging?
In moderate usage like little heavy browsing or watching a movie?
In heavy usage like gaming?
Please answer in hours. Do you find the battery of this laptop to be better than average laptops or just average or below average?
This is my first laptop that's why asking so many questions
Thanks.

Thanks.The display is satisfactory. You can't really pump up the brightness levels on this laptop.. Unlike my old dv6 laptop. So that means, the screen is not meant for outdoor use. You would actually be staring at yourself because of the glossy screen if you were to use it outside. Nevertheless, build quality is good.

Regarding color , well everyone has his own choice but chocolate color looks just fine to me although i would have liked it more in black.
