Isn't Broadwell supposed to just reduce the power consumption further by~30% or so?I'm not sure, so I might be wrong.
In any case its still a dual core ULV processor!
Y50 I guess will have a full voltage quad core afaik. So Y50 users would be happy!
(damn those customs and newer BIS norms 
)
^Indian pricing will be close to 70-75k even if they put a lower GPU like 850/855M
Definitely... The QHD version that is yet to be released will also have the same GPU. and they would labelling it as a gaming laptop
I am still running on stock, you know!!!
Sadly gaming has been sidetracked from my life these days...
Really? I am 300km away from my desktop since 2 months and stuck with a pathetic netbook.I haven't played any game since 2 weeks. Exam time

It looks like it is pretty sure that Y50 shall be launched in july.
btw i wont be buying Y50 if it crosses 85k , and i needed a gaming laptop for my holidays i.e june , hence the wait for Y50 seems to be very tough
So should i wait for it or go with y510p and import ultrabay gpu?
---EDIT---
Is there possibility that Lenovo could change the configuration for India?
or maybe opt for a DVD drive version.
thats nice and price is also less than lenovo's website..
hope it gets priced below 85k in india
like they did to y510p. moreover, they'll come up with statements like " Laptops bought from Amazon/Snapdeal/etc won't be covered under warranty"
I have gone through all old posts in y50 thread,... Is there any new answers to my questions???? Any Updated Answers
When Lenovo Y50 launches in India?????
What variants will be launched here???
How will be the pricing????
If I bought this from US will I get International Warranty???
Are there any alternatives to it???
don't be too quick to get y50 from US as they haven't updated y50's list of international warranty supported country; AFAIK Y50 isn't in the list either
so..just hang on.. for the time being..wait till it is properly launched in US.
oh and the customers(US-mainland) who ordered Y50 on the first day of it's launch will get it by this Tuesday/Thu (PDT)
erm..I don't think so
early surprise launch for lucky customers?

Well sorry for the mSATA confusion. I actually meant 1 TB with mSATA SSD in a Hybrid Solution (Official Lenovo website has the specs written as Hybrid 1 TB + 8 GB mSATA SSD. So I don't know if the mSATA SSD will also be available in India).
But yeah, the GTX 860M should be able to do atleast Medium for all games. I had high hopes for the GTX 860M but I guess in 1 year's time, even this card will become yesterday's news. (Better buy a PS4 then
And now they've delayed the launch as well. This will really hurt their sales as now was the perfect time to launch this laptop as it has the best specs in the market (atleast in terms of price/performance ratio).
This is the best laptop for its price (Atleast in the US). And delaying the launch will not do any good for them. I hope that they launch it sooner than later else other laptops will start popping up.
P.S.: What do you guys think of the AMD Mobile Kaveri APU (The FX-7600P) ? Do you think that pairing this APU with a dGPU in Crossfire will come close to the GTX 860M performance? (Ofcourse given that Micro-stuttering stays away)
Happy Gaming,
Aj.

And yeah, one more question. In the US, this laptop is shipping with i7-4700HQ and NOT i7-4702HQ. So the heat dissipated will be more I assume? And is the cooling of the Y50 sufficient to keep things under check during intense gaming sessions?
Happy Gaming,
Aj.
According to notebookcheck, Watch_Dogs at high gives 27 fps on Full HD... Maybe if the anti-aliasing and ambient occlusion are turned off/low, it will be playable on high...
According to notebookcheck, Watch_Dogs at high gives 27 fps on Full HD... Maybe if the anti-aliasing and ambient occlusion are turned off/low, it will be playable on high...
27 fps is just about playable per se, but it all depends on whether it's a constant 27 fps or there are frame drops while driving and all...
Maybe if Ubisoft releases an update with better optimisation and Nvidia finally releases better drivers...
However, with Ubisoft's horrible track record, I wouldn't get my hopes up high...
Yeah, Ubisoft sucks!!!

[MENTION=248727]seamon[/MENTION] is still a little kid...y50's screen (the regular TN/non touch model) sucks..and it sucks pretty bad..a y510p is way better than y50.

I should mention it as well...that the viewing angles are pretty crappy and this vs a y510p regular glossy wins over y50 (regular/non-touch) not to mention the extreme low brightness case (for both AUO and chi mei panels), washed out colors; calibration won't do $h!t :/
I really had high hopes for Y50 but..Y50 is becoming a real factor for Lenovo to discontinue GT755m/750m removable gfx cards (though I just saw 755 back in stock #lenovo US) and push Y50's stock for dirt cheap

Why do you play at 768p??? Looks ugly... Play on FullHD...
It works well on FullHD and medium for me... SLI though...
)..but don't forget it will void your warranty...or won't it..?(erm..bad stickers nearby panel assembly/mobo in y50? my old dell was a cake)[MENTION=248727]seamon[/MENTION] is still a little kid...
On a serious note, he's preparing for his SAT, not GRE...
) and would give you 4GB of DDR5 vid mem.
hmm..I would recommend all future/urgent buyers to atleast wait for Indian variant of Y50's review(s) and then make a decision.
Also, do read my above post
I got myself a y510p because:
- it has indeed a better screen viewing angles, brightness, color reproduction are better than Y50's TN panel (checked from notebookcheck/youtube vids/Y50's owner(s)/lowyat forums
- has a m2.ngff slot + an ultrabay if you're considering more storage as an option or better going for SLI capability (I will be doing this real soon before lenovo thinks abt discontinuing removable 755m's permanently)
- y50 is slim, helps in carrying around..overall a neat portable but IMHO that GPU power would be a sheer waste if it's not made to handle temps..if you grab a pic of y50's mobo layout (which inspite of having dual fans is somewhat weird..the fans are stashed at one corner wheres the heatsink's long pipes do the stuff..now checkout the Gigabyte's P34G V2 CF2's layout and see for yourself
The slim form factor also does not give enough space(as Y50 is so cramped up from the inside) if you want to OC, play CPU/GPU intensive games and p34g v2 is the best I've seen so far which deals with heat. Infact I am getting ~70 FPS in SP mode in arma 3 which is considered to be one of the most CPU/GPU intensive games of all times maintaining about ~71*C and I couldn't even hear heatsink's fan noise.
- oh n btw a 755m SLI config beats a 860m by a slight margin apart from any* SLI probs(+/- 1-5%) and the heat generated (a bit
There isn't a perfect notebook/laoptop/ultrabook out there..it's just a matter of which is better than the rest..if you want the best..build a proper rig
well yes and no.
must b having beer.. yes they work in parallel but effective perf is much greater so yea..all in all ++
) for sure and ultra thins coming in nowadays...erm..y5x are for portability no doubt..860m is the cherry part but with y50's own +/- ve's
apart from lap burning heat
Y50x series is built as a desky replacement(the SLI party
uhoh...repasting that's what I was thinking..maybe.. maybe not..*sounds like a lot of work*
Exactly, while it is true that TN is suitable for gaming but there still are different quality of TN panels and the one in Y50 is unfortunately really bad from what I have heard. Yes it's manageable but you probably won't like it. Resolution is great for a laptop this size, colors not.
on googling what i found was that it might be a memory leak issue and ubisoft already working to fix it . Even if it is false , having 2 or 4gb should have effect almost on no game, unless using multiple monitors.
I m also going for it , i think it should be manageable , although waiting for an indian review is good idea. International standards need not to be applied here , they have plenty of options for good displays , gaming laptops , and they use vibrant 1080p displays with much better colour reproduction than Y50 more often there , I don't think they even would have considered single GT755M as a gaming card,which was marketed here as gaming card.
[MENTION=248727]seamon[/MENTION]
what will say about whether the indian variant of Y50 has the maxwell/kepler core?
afaik..speaking for 2GB version..lenovo's been selling the maxwell variant (atleast for 99% reports I read) in the whole world..so probably it's the same they'll sell here too..
fyi: lenovo's tech/sales department has no idea which one is present(tried 3-4 calls separately; including a min of wait)
Yup, seriously.
I am not waiting for a full review from some indian site , rather i just need conformation if it is gtx 860m maxwell , and maybe few lines about screen , nothing more than that , and as said above only time can tell
I am not waiting for a full review from some indian site , rather i just need conformation if it is gtx 860m maxwell , and maybe few lines about screen , nothing more than that , and as said above only time can tell
anyways if they're getting maxwell based (that too legit TH variants/non-US/non-grey stuff) then I guess we'll get the maxwell variant as well.
Stole my words
Also, I'd to know a country who has only got the kepler version and not the maxwell one for the 2GB version. (talking about legit/genuine/country's authorized sets and not grey-market/imported etc)yes..it's now 4th Aug
Contact details for "this" dealer of yours?
A point I want to make here is..dealer's don't usually know $h!t about what architecture the graphics card will be based on..unless they themselves go abroad and import the sets and/or are from private corp.(s) who sell in bulk..
then too the chances are really low..depending upon their technical prowess/curiosity/taking care of "things" a customer would be willing to buy
I'd wait..for some credible info to get out there..
no worries..
well afaik..kepler has been shipped in mixed mode..for ex. 90% maxwell stocks and 10% randomly distributed kepler stocks (yes I myself have never read/seen pictorial proof about 2GB kepler in a lenovo Y50 but yes for 4GB keplers are out there)
y510p i5 variant is available on thedostore if you're still interested; don't remember it's price..
Well then it seems the sales guy was telling me about the 2nd batch. I talked to them on 1st morning and that's what he told me - 1st batch leaving on 4th and could take 4-7 days to reach bangalore from there warehouse in Mumbai.
yeahh...but price cut (of abt ~72-74k) will take some time...+ manu. such as gigabyte (P34G V2 absolutely rocks!) might try to expand their OPs as well; maybe not in India but other countries should see some strong competitive models coming up from diff. manuf.(s). (err..standby for graphene chips..2015+) if MSI really wants a pie of Indian gaming market share (I know MSI's launching for near abt in the same $$ segment in US and other developed countries but not in India? (yes..yes...the BSI bs+ other things do take their toll) but hey there is absolutely no need to increase $$ by a whole lot of margin just in the name of taxes; am sure still people will buy and my support goes to GS60/GT60 2OC anytime..only thing that hurts..is the non-competitive pricing strategy in India for the GS60)+1 for the price cut(my comment above^^ was orig. for you); won't be happening soon..so its k; chill
yea..that's been going on for sometime..lets c
though, he might have been giving me the wrong info, trying me to buy it sooner.
Lenovo has changed the Shipping date now to 5th August
What are they doing? Changing website daily for the shipping date but not taking the initiative to update the details about gpu etc
..thata hot service
hmmm...trying it in store might clear our way for s/n, stock #s and ultimately to clarify maxwell/kepler (though I can safely say it's maxwell but to be doubly sure is cool)
fri-sun whoa

not to mention the kepler/maxwell saga too..
looking sweet

ask him if he could post the laptop's outer packaging's sticker(the one which has config listed on it) now carefully masking his laptop's serial# there is the MTM code for the laptop including "IN" listed somewhere between this code (ex. 50-70 xxxx or 59-3980xx) also there is one field "country" which specifies the country code..can he get some more pics up'ed?
these two details will point to the exact same boxes packing the ext. DVD drive for sure!

goddamn hike in ed cess:/
Can you please ask him whether its Chi Mei display or AUO ?
If he goes to device manager and then on monitor --> PnP-Monitor -> Details and then on Hardware ID. If there is this model number : CNM15C4 then its the Chi Mei, else is AUO. AUO is the better one as far as I know.
P.S - I am getting mine in few days but I am curious
Why am I getting 404 - Not Found on all these pics
Why am I getting 404 - Not Found on all these pics
Thanks bro.
I placed my order this morning around 10 am so the status is still under "Paid". Where are you ordering it to? Which city I mean?Is yours shipped yet ? Mine is showing "processing" since yesterday
well..hopefully they should; anyways I'll confirm from lenovo, retailer directly
i did ask about the warranty offer to a lenovo rep a week ago.. and he said it will be available only to those who bought it or ordered it before 15th this month.. no idea if it has been extended though+1
yea..it'll be here in about ~6-10days(Nehru Place - New Delhi) & by 20th(NCR - Gurgaon/Noida etc) for sure. this time I'll get it from a brick/mortar shop
- - - Updated - - -
naah..it's ohk to get it from thedostore but what I really want to know is:
whether the additional warranty be given to those who bought it from a physical store and not from thedostore?
)..more on this later
Well , thanks to priyank for providing all those images , I too am like you all , collecting information before buying
Have waited so long , almost after 3 years going to get new laptop
yep thx a ton to priyank
(tried everything/power cycling/ram breakout/power button etc etc..keep getting two beeps from mobo and sudden switch offS.. :/ was using ubuntu on my laptop for quite some time was working ok'ish for the past 1 week))
thanks bro
yep will do that
btw how much it took for you to have the status updated on thedostore? (after doing NEFT/transaction)
or is it an order via telephone?
my laptop just died..
some stock is arriving in NCR so most prolly' will get it tomm in the evening(after checking if it does have the ext dvd rw or some othr stuff
Do update us with the Delhi-Ncr scene too
(badly missing the city..)
rgr rgr
lenovo exclusive stores across gurgaon/noida:
accepting orders from customers (mine is bound to reach with other 2 units by afternoon tomm.) w/o paying in advance (they are themselves hesitant and won't accept any advance $$/token money +1 ; as to what the sales guy told me that even if I paid him he won't accept it lol).
actually I had placed a pre-order day before yesterday so they are quick and def they're selling it like hot cakes; they don't even have a demo unit ready!?
so all in all limited units inbound from 2nd batch of y50's imported on 2nd aug.
oh n they're coming from bengaluruuu
Yes, please keep us updated about the NCR/Delhi scene. I have one friend in delhi who wants to buy it so badly. May be PM me the numbers of retailers who are getting it tomorrow.
As far as mine is concerned, I talked to the dostore guy and he said mine will be shipped tomorrow evening. Lets see.
(complete address PM'ed again)
Hey guys,
I just registered on Digit a few mins back.
Just want to say a big hello to everyone and that I have been following this post for the past 2 weeks !
To get straight to the point, I would like to inform you that I JUST picked up the Lenovo Y50 from the Exclusive Store in Noida.
(I know there are a few posts above that have mentioned gurgaon/noida stores having the laptop in store)
So just wanted to confirm that this is true indeed.
However, they only had like 3 pieces and luckily (since I went there personally) I was able to pick it up right there and then!
Super excited since I have been waiting for this laptop for a while now !
comminngg..holy sh!t
am about to pick one up from the same store
preordered* 1 is mine
update:
exclusive store in gurgaon is getting it's stock too; just confirmed

Please do post some pics of

If u can.
Would be really helpful.
Also please do post a review from the point of an everyday user.
And did you get the 3 years additional warranty offer.?
Thanks.

)Congrats!
Can you please post the address of the Noida store? Is it the one in sector 38? I work at sector 62, so it would be better for me to get it from there than going to Nehru Place..
Also, are they charging same as in the dostore?
Hey amey,
Thanks!
I'm still in office, so can't post the pics of the packing just yet. (will do it later once I get home)
So to answer your questions:
1. The packing was neat and clean. It was properly packed in plastic wrapping and the like. After they billed me for it, he opened the package in front of me and took out the laptop. Overall, well done effort there.
2. As such, they only give the lenovo backpack as the accessory. However, I had to negotiate with him (a bit) to give me more. Very quickly, he just handed me an external DVD r/rw drive in my hand. When I probed him further for anything else, he was like we can't give you anything else. I was ok with it.
3. As far as the screen goes, after reading on this thread, someone mentioned how to check it. And whether it was the Chi Mei or the AUO. I'm also glad to say that it is the AUO screen (which again from this thread I read, is better). Again, I haven't properly seen it since its still packed up and lying in my car downstairs ! Will check it properly when I get home.
(P.S. however, he did turn on the laptop in the store after I was billed and did the first time boot up, which naturally took "some" time. Hopefully now when I turn it on when I get home, it should be faster)
Additionally, when I asked him about the warranty, he gladly agreed to give it to me asap.
Now I made sure to go through the "process" of registering online for the warranty, RIGHT THERE AND THERE in front of them. In fact, I MADE them log on the site and guide me through the process. I had to take a picture of the Label on the Box and the Bill/Invoice copy and upload it on the website. All this was done in front of them.
(I just wanted to make sure that everything was legit and that they would not cause any issues in the future) (yes, you can call me a bit paranoid about it!!
Please let me know if you guys need any more info. I will gladly fill you in on the details.
I will try and post pictures when I get home.

Hey Eruku,
The store in Noida is the one in GIP (Great India Place) mall, Sector 18. Its on the second floor (kinda near the central escalators) next to all the other brands, ASUS, HP, etc.
The rate when I asked them, they told me 79K. I was like what ?!
Then I had to tell them that the ONLINE rate is Rs. 76,990.
So the final bill amount was Rs. 77,000.
. Unfortunately I can't wait for too long; my dell died a week ago. I'm planning to get the Y50 around 15th/16th Aug.Thanks a lot bro.Hey amey,

3. As far as the screen goes, after reading on this thread, someone mentioned how to check it. And whether it was the Chi Mei or the AUO. I'm also glad to say that it is the AUO screen (which again from this thread I read, is better). Again, I haven't properly seen it since its still packed up and lying in my car downstairs ! Will check it properly when I get home.
(P.S. however, he did turn on the laptop in the store after I was billed and did the first time boot up, which naturally took "some" time. Hopefully now when I turn it on when I get home, it should be faster)
Additionally, when I asked him about the warranty, he gladly agreed to give it to me asap.
Now I made sure to go through the "process" of registering online for the warranty, RIGHT THERE AND THERE in front of them. In fact, I MADE them log on the site and guide me through the process. I had to take a picture of the Label on the Box and the Bill/Invoice copy and upload it on the website. All this was done in front of them.
(I just wanted to make sure that everything was legit and that they would not cause any issues in the future) (yes, you can call me a bit paranoid about it!!
Please let me know if you guys need any more info. I will gladly fill you in on the details.
I will try and post pictures when I get home.

Hey Eruku,
The store in Noida is the one in GIP (Great India Place) mall, Sector 18. Its on the second floor (kinda near the central escalators) next to all the other brands, ASUS, HP, etc.
The rate when I asked them, they told me 79K. I was like what ?!
Then I had to tell them that the ONLINE rate is Rs. 76,990.
So the final bill amount was Rs. 77,000.
)Cool brother.Hey guys,
Im home now and as promised, gonna post some screen for you guys, right from the unboxing.
ENJOY!

Really appreciate it. I dont think the screen is that bad. Congrats again!
The external optical drive is supposed to be included in the laptop package afaik.WONDERFUL
I cant wait for mine, lol. Was shipped today
P.S - Looks like everyone is getting external dvd as well. Enjoy your new toy
Now the shipping date on do store website is 14th of august , so does that mean there is no chance of getting it shipped before that ? I was about to order it , now if it ships on 14th then it would take 5-6 more days to reach in my location , so much wait is kinda annoying , i was about to order it
), 1TB+8GB SSHD
srry guys am really tired out today...been installing/taking care of stuff...gurgaon to noida aftr offc tht too roads on fri are horrible here :<
quick points:
- i7 4710HQ + GTX860M 2GB maxwell variant +1x 8GB RAM stick (+1 for a vacant slot) and wifi card is from atheros(bummer
- notebook feels extremely solid
- sweet boot up times(ssd would be a +1)
- got the AUO/AOU screen; complete matte; viewing angles are 6.0/10; color repro...hmmm..may need some calib. for better output..lets c
- audio bass is awesome (my 1st for a laptop)
- total VFM..and is amazingly thin+light
- got the ext. dvd rw inside the box + lenovo std. backpack although a disc. would've been nice but I was really in need of a laptop urgently so its allright

kyun..kyun...? dnt wry y50 will leave room for yours for now unless I go sli on 860m homebrew!
Hey so I had a quick question, regarding which GPU (in-built INTEL or NVIDIA) should be used while playing games. I believe the usual setting is on "Auto Select" or something like that.
And how can you change the settings of a PARTICULAR game which you want to play using either/or GPU's. (in-built INTEL or the NVIDIA)
And does it make a huge difference in the gameplay and/or gaming experience ?
And what EXACTLY is the difference, if any ?
(Also, I am talking about using the laptop with the AC supply connected and NOT on battery)
Apologies for the rapid-fire questions !
Your views are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Same with mine. No details about destination point but there is details of origin point (Goregaon/Bhiwandi).

Got mine on Saturday night from Lenovo Exclusive Store in CBD Belapur for 76,000.
Got the DVD writer in the box itself, and a backpack worth 2.5k from lenovo.
The store gave those additional freebies like keygaurd, cleaning kit, USB and OTG cable, a cooling pad, pouch, wired mouse and a cheap headset.
Haven't opened it yet coz i have my exams till Wednesday.
Will open it then and post a review.
Guys, another question.
How do i find my model no..?
Can't seem to register my laptop on lenovos website.
It asks for a model no and a serial no.
I have the serial no, but cant seem to find the model no.
And how do we register for the extended warranty.?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Called up lenovo today about flipakart warranty issue.
They have told me, if the seller is 'WS Flipkart' then they will provide warranty But they won't provide warranty to any product sold by 3rd party sellers.
P.S. Y510p I7 version is available for 71.3K onlt in flipkart. I jut checked
Ordered from local store?
or online dostore?
I'm confused. This model haven't reach kolkata till date, and the 2 years of extended warranty will be there only till 14th of August.
So, I am looking for a guy who already bought from dostore to share the feedback
!
I have also ordered from dostore 2 hours ago.
MSI's launch event, being the biggest letdown to me in-terms of their GS60 lineup, I lost all hope for a decently priced other versions of MSI and thus ordered Y50.
By the way, When you ordered and how many does it took to reach to you?
Thanks bro.lucky you
oh they'll make it avail. for somewhere arnd 74k; though the lenovo rep was denying about this nfo
checkout lenovopromo.net
you'll get all the info detailed with screenshot just hover your mouse over "?" visible at the right side of the 2x document upload field

@all
pls confirm your screen's make
to check it:
- go to device manager
- display/monitor >> right click and then properties/details - generic pnp monitor
- go to details >> select hardware id from drop down list
you'll see something like AUOxxxx if yours is from AUO/AOU
also pls confirm if it's a matte/glossy that you all got
Its a few shops besides Croma, on the same line.
Did they send the backpack automatically? Or you have email ed them?
A review will help others, so I will say go ahead. 
, do post some pics with screen on.
(not denying the fact that the 755 SLI is faster by a margin!)Thanks bro.
Will register at the soonest.
Thanks a lot bro.till 14th aug..? source?

for me it's:
- non-availablity of ultrabay card for y510p even in US/Malaysia(charging heavy $400 USD for both adapter+card)
- got pretty hot in abt 10-20 mins of light/med use
- my earlier unit was a defective one
and y50:
- single gpu to rule 'em all
- slimmer+lighter profile; palm rest area is just too good
- runs cool

Follow the guide [MENTION=139589]prometheus[/MENTION] posted a few pages above.
wait..what? you made changes to your partition table but din't shrinked "C" ....can you just post a screenshot of your disk management window?
Got my y50 today after i ordered it on 4th.. only to find a black dot on the screen when i booted it up.. talk about luck and poor lenovo service.. guess i have to give it back and wait again for a new one..
if you've already made the partitions then I have no idea what effect been already* done/might repro. on OKR partitions/functionality
neither do I know which utility s/w you've used to make these partitions + dnt know your part. table/struct.
1st do verify if OKR is working from* within* windows
- so just press the OKR key and see if the app. pops up correctly
before making/modifying partitions dont* try* to use*/pop open* OKR from shutdown state directly!
now follow up my earlier post if you want to make more partitions.

N15P-GX GDDR5 4G hmm..it's the maxwell variant; but I'd wait for a confirmation from new buyers now
I wonder what effect will this have on MSI...
(It recently slipped to Number 2 behind HP).
But the 4 GB Variant was supposed to be equipped with UHD Panel right?
Here it's saying only FHD Panel. Well, it can't be helped. What we get is what we get right?
But it's good that Lenovo is going for aggressive pricing. 80k for 4 GB GTX 860M is pretty tempting over the 2 GB Variant (Difference of ~3K) but as of now NO Extended Warranty so that's a bummer.
But as you said, the 4 GB variant will pump out more heat and might cause some issues in the long run. It's best to wait for some reviews about this newbie laptop before hitting the buy button.
But I'm impressed by Lenovo this time around. They're introducing the latest laptops quickly in India as well. And their pricing strategy is really helping them to leap bound their sales. And of course the number of Exclusive DO stores has been cropping up steadily all over the country.
Soon Lenovo might again become the #1 Laptop provider in India.
And to all the owners of the Y50, some sort of gaming FPS scores please?

- y50 is sold in quite a nos. of variants now the 4gb variant may/may not be available with a UHD panel + am not sure of the indian 4gb variant better to confirm from multiple sources on this
- warranty..hmm I guess they should/will continue the 2yr extended warranty offer
- ok..so carefully go through what I said earlier..it's the nos of video memory chips and not the chip itself(well the GPU die itself will see inc. in temps but not much...when compared to the whole setup(GPU die+vid. mem chips.)) + ofc maxwell would produce a lot less heat but* consider the maxwell chewing through the 2gb vid. memory and now double it (to 4gb)..what you'll observe is the GPU die generating a bit more heat as it is utilizing the vid. mem. (which in this case is 2x2gb) moreover if* the die is surrounded by 2x 2gb chips instead of a single 4gb one which I haven't seen so far in any mobo's layout..so this'll def. add up. although there would be clearly no big difference in temps. but then again the form factor in which it is enclosed in matters(considering the quality of capacitors and other delicate components which lenovo has put in
simple real world example..if you increase the capacity of the in/out pipes of a water pump then ofc you'll see an inc. in water flow but that always comes at a cost.. ok..it might be a bad example

who said anything abt maxwell being safe/or not ?
oh hell..suppose it can run over 150*C my point above is solely about the temps rising inside such a small form factor and not of the GPU die/vid mem chips only/ think* about the adverse effects of this heat on the nearby components..
this is not just about damaging the card....we are talking about a laptop here so.. considering the small form factor and the delicate components(including the capacitors on the board and who knows from what quality/stock has lenovo got 'em in here; generally yes they are one of the delicate components of a mobo) I am sure that the 2gb variant won't be able to withstand much heat(defn. of much heat inside a y50..? well frankly speaking == idk time can tell
have the y50 with me for now..
in any case imho ppl should get the 4gb variant only* after going through it's reviews
Got call from lenovo local manager manager.
Told him to order the Y50 with model no 59-431090, he said it is in stock and he would inform me as soon as he receives the model ,should get it within 2-3 days waiting eagerly now
(did atheros got acquired by Qualcomm? AFAIR atheros was a separate company))) and certainly 4gb of vid mem won't provide perf. out of this world with an 860m..hahaa..but yes an SSD + sys ram upgrade == awesome! so just hang on..1080m FTW! #sep 2k14 for nvidia's pub. announce and init. manuf. from 2k15end /16

oh..it's from "Qualcomm Atheros"..show some respect
and somebody was saying that lenovo won't use "cheaper" quality components in their machines..
one final thought:
- the diff of 3k INR (2gb/4gb) can be used to procure an SSD instead if the buyer goes for the 2gb variant; but ofc within 2 months we'll see the price drop atleast for the 2gb variant
- get things which you deem fit for your own use and not exceed for the time being(ikr right..we asians want more ..and more); and so is the saying.."laalach buri bala"
- I don't play games which/will require >2gb of vid mem( [MENTION=248727]seamon[/MENTION] is also right some* game(s) might require >2gb of vid mem but I would rather go get myself the other upgrades and boost the overall perf. instead of just focusing on some* game(s) which supposedly are badly optimized(<-- infact I don't see them that way..cause they are complex at their core..but ofc there is always room for optimz. & in UBI's case we need a heck of it
for others:
- Maxwell? smh... pascal is coming
again* I will advise new buyers to get the 4gb variant if they are not limited by budget; most* imp.'ly* I would advise them to get it from US (would come for cheap $$ with the "ac" WiFi card)

Hey Chetan,
Yea I was on the phone with the Lenovo rep's today for almost 4 hrs !! We tried nearly EVERYTHING!!
The Lenovo rep guy also took remote control access through some Lenovo software (similar to Teamviewer)
So the basic conclusion is that he has arranged for the Lenovo engineer to come to my place and to REPLACE the MOTHERBOARD.
I spoke to a few friends of mine as well and they told me that its also a possibility that the Nvidia GPU may have gotten fried ! (I don't know how that's possible, but oh well)

Hey Prometheus,
I tried what you said above and nope. Even if I roll back, uninstall, re-install, do the ONE-KEY Recovery, it gives the same error.
Also after the One-Key Recovery, my computer seems to have become SLOW. Like I mentioned in an earlier post, even right-clicking the desktop opens the window after 15-20 secs!!
What the hell is going on ?
If, as the Lenovo guy said, replacing the motherboard will solve the graphic situation, will it solve this "slow-ness" as well.
I didn't really expect this from Lenovo..I mean a laptop like 2 weeks old and the graphics card gone (boom).
Very strange.....

talk about overpricing, they could've easily sold this at 65k instead of 80k

Gurgaon and Nodia both are far away from my place
Is the extended warranty offer available now? If yes, then when will it end?
I'm thinking of getting the 4GB version but i'd also like to know if there is any advantage in getting the 2GB version? Budget is no problem.
Ok. Will go for the 4GB version.
Got mine today yes it does have 4GB maxwell version
Happy

Has any one confirm what will be the price in a exclusive lenovo showroom in pune...
Whats that you dont like in the wifi??Does anyone know if I can get screen for replacement in Nehru place or anywhere else in Delhi?
Also, I dont like the wifi even.
from where you bought it.. In local store? Or online... How much you paid for the 4gb version inclusive tax... And
congrats for the lap .......
As I was suspecting, I can no longer disable my trackpad using Fn+F6 combination. And trackpad LED no longer lights up when trackpad is disabled.
Ok my personal experience and opinion :-
Yeah I will go for the demo.
)Ok People I visited the Exclusive Lenovo store at GIP, noida today and had a golden chance to see and use both y510p and y50(4 gb version). I played around with both for about 20-25 minutes ( yes, my mom was shopping and I had to kill time
Before I give my views, I want to say that y50 4gb version is easily available there for 80k, no discount but willing to give a free mouse,dvd writer and a bag, plus 3 years warranty. y510p is out of stock, lenovo having stopped its production and was not for sale, just a demo piece they had.
Ok, now my first impression was, **** man this y510p is so so ugly compared to the y50. By ugly I mean bulkier, heftier and with case closed doesnt have that premium look, y50 possesses. Y50 is definitely a much much better looker than y510p from all sides and angles, even the grills on the side, the area near touchpad , bottom of the laptop etc etc. Lifted both of them, y50 definitely much lighter, couldnt lift y510p with my right hand alone, easily lifted y50 with my left
Turned both of them on, and BOOM...the windows loading screen appeared so much better on y510p. I would say about twice as good. Y50 had a pretty washed out screen. Y50 has a matte anti glare screen which depending upon your preference could be a good thing or a bad thing. Both of them coincidently had the same wallpaper, which again looked much much better on y510. colors came alive on that one. Y50 wasn't as bad as many people here have stated, but y510p definitely better.
They had no game or any benchmark software. But loading time, windows refresh time , file opening time was about twice as fast on the y50, could be because it was a new piece?
Thankfully, both the laptops had Dhoom 3 trailer in full hd quality. Around 150mb file, fired them up pushing volume of both to max. BOOM, +1 to y50, better audio quality with a pinch of bass, higher volume too it appeared. So 'audio winner' goes to y50. Salesman had no clue about the differences between the two, taught him a few things too
Touchpad of both was same/similar usage wise, keyboard similar too.
So overall I'll say y50 is a nice laptop for 80k, though if I'm giving an 8 to y510p screen, I'll give a 5 to y50. No , not hideous, not bad at all. But lacks that glory that a full hd screen should bring to your eyes, is pleasing to the eyes yes as it is anti glare but color reproduction not as good as a premium laptop must have.
Same here, I also have the 4GB version. It says Invalid Mtm 59-431090.
Y50 uses 30 pin eDPS . Source: bit.ly/1B1UFdc
Its has a touch screen and has better graphich card. Also ssd capacity has been increased.
What components you feel are missing and why are u feeling this?
Post gpu z screenshot
I also have the 4GB version, haven't received an email though, the website said invalid mtn.
oh oh me too.
I had completed MW 1 AND MW 2 in my Lenovo R61. When lag got intolerable, I used to look at the ground and move to improve FPS.
- - - Updated - - -
Check if some other process is hogging up disk usage.
One of the major cons of a high end laptop is often the slow HDD which ends up slowing the rest of the system.
FPS is not a problem. Without syncing every frame I get 200+ fps but screen tearing makes it look too ugly to be played. With Vsync enabled I get a constant FPS of 60 but after every 2-3 minutes it momentarily drops down to 1 or 2 FPS and then resumes back to a constant frame rate of 60FPS.
The load times aren't great on this laptop but HDD has little role when a map or level has completed its loading.
My laptop is fully optimised (manually) and there is no application hogging CPU, HDD or RAM in the background.
Sadly, looking at the ground and moving won't be of much help in a multiplayer match.
Thanks for your input.
Thanks brother.
Hi amey2606,
So does that mean you did the partitioning using the windows tool only ? Can you please name the tool...
Also, i have purchased the laptop from snapdeal , so am i eligible for the extended 3 years warantee ?

On thedostore IdeaPad y50 + Headset W870(Should I get this?) = Rs. 82,389/- Good buy or not?
Anybody got a coupon for thedostore.com ?
Hi Guys
I was planning on buying the Lenovo Y50 - GTX 860M 4GB variant from Snapdeal as the price was comparatively cheaper than other e-retailers like thedostore, FlipKart, Amazon etc.
However on going through the product specifications I came to realize that the screen resolution is listed as 1366x768.
Can anyone who has purchased from Snapdeal confirm that it is indeed a lower resolution display and not the 1080p? AFAIK there are only 1080p display Y50s. Never have I heard of or seen a 1366x768 one. Even the one listed on the thedostore says its FHD, which im assuming means 1080p display.
Can someone who has purchased from Snapdeal shed some light on this please ? Perhaps its wrong information or a typo ?
Thanks in advance
A slight correction.
Yup, same here. I am planning to upgrade my ram too. Anyone got any good option on which one to buy.?
hey all.. im plannin on pikin up the Y50 this weekend from bangalore. 75k for the 4GB model. But i was reading abt all the GPU issues related to updates... have these problems been resolved by nvidia? should i be worried?? because i dnt stay in bangalore.. im making the trip jst to pick up the laptop. replys appreciated
I am buying it from Lenovo Excusive store Kolkata, it is the 4GB version.
Registration for the extended warranty was done at Lenovo Promo
Yup, same here. I am planning to upgrade my ram too. Anyone got any good option on which one to buy.?
I am also planning on getting a 2tb external hard drive, preferably the new Seagate Backup Plus Slim. Can you guys please recommend from where to buy.?
Thanks.
nope not at all Jatin if you are a heavy movie watcher cuz the screen is one of the worst TN displays panel ever. You would need to replace the screen which would cost you nearly 6000 bucks .better get a y510p i5 and a badass laptop cooler.
the problem is y510 is oos and not available :/ I mostly watch movies alone so viewing angles dont matter much to me.
hi to all,
i have a few question about the lenovo y50, though i had purchased this 4GB version one week back.
any one know how to get the windows 8.1 oem setup files from the recovery disk, so tht i can make a clean install,
i already taken a backup image of entire hdd with both acronics true image and with lenovo recovery tool,
so any one know how to get the above one.
ok. got your point, but here am asking about the windows setup files , is really any setup files is there in the recovery?
so tht i can make a bootable dvd and from tht i can make a clean install,
so tht i wont be require any kind of thirdparty cracks to activate windows.
by the way the windows key is not stamped outside the lenovo panels.
retail dvds wont accept oem keys. even i try to download directly from the msdn site.. its require a retail key not oem key
Guys, sorry for reposting this. My Y50 had issues from day one of purchase. I got a refund from Lenovo for the same. Can you guys check your Y50 for the issues I have described above? Also, how many of you guys use the touchpad heavily for the Y50? I need a laptop urgently and thinking of buying the Y50 once again but I am not sure if it is durable enough to last 3-4 years.
You are right when you say that the backspace issue is not specific to Lenovo products. I went to another Lenovo store today and tried to reproduce the other issue with scroll and zoom on the Y50 they had on display. Guess what, I was able to reproduce this issue on their piece as well. There is a specific way to reproduce it. For example, open Flipkart.com. On the home page, do a long pinch zoom in and a zoom out. Keep doing this till you notice that your pinch zoom gesture and the zoom on the screen are not in sync. That is, the screen should be zooming in or out even when you have stopped doing anything on the touchpad. It's at this particular millisecond that you need to start doing two finger scroll. You will notice that two finger scroll results in zoom instead of scroll. I have become an expert at reproducing this issue. I have been able to reproduce this issue on 3 Y50 Laptops so far. I am sure I can reproduce it on your laptop as well and I am sure it's only specific to Lenovo Y50 because I tried to reproduce it on some Dell Laptops on display but in vain.
Hi Guys,
Just joined the forum in eagerness to know more
Wanted to get quick reviews on this lappy.
Earlier I wanted to buy y510p and have finalized that but later i found that y50 is coming and so I put my decision on hold waiting for the new beast.
FYI,I am not a serious gamer I wanted this for development purpose so I can multitask smoothly between heavy apps without any lag issues,graphics card is not very much useful to me.
Now as I am figuring out Ultrabay has been removed and laptop battery has been placed internally so cannot be removed(there are times when there is a need to take out battery - say to cut all powers from the laptop OR carry an extra battery while travelling or getting it replaced with 6 cell) + always on USB feature is removed as well + removed the dvd writer though they are giving an external dvd writer.
Inspite that what I only like is they have upgraded to a much better i7 4710 HQ and are providing SSD which will atleast help somewhat in multitasking speed,also the look and feel has been made better.
As per the comments I doubt the laptop is good at its perfomance and screen display is worst,but wait I noticed lenovo has made a change and are now stating the screen as "FHD" on the dostore I am not sure what does they exactly mean by adding that.
In addition I heard wifi issues as well which indeed is a big decision maker for me.
There are also models availabe in Z series Z50(i7-4510U),I am now confused.
I will appreciate all of yours time spent providing valuable feedback based on the above post.
Thanks
Nancy
and this win8.1 is laggy seems to be sometimes... ... ITS WIN8.1 SINGLE LANGUAGEAny comments/Feedback Guys ?

I bought my Y50 from Kolkata on 27th Sept, got it for 74k (no goodies).
Then they asked me to register at lenovopromo.net, which I did on 2nd Oct.
There website is showing 'For the offer ending on the 28th of September customers can register till the 10th of October 2014'
I have already registered and got a ticket number, but no notification as of yet. What can I do?

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
But it is no way a poor display, viewing angles suck but colors look good after calibration. Much better screen than my old laptop.
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)
got Y50 today can't seem to find the Promethius guide can some one give me a link.
here screenshot
73k is a good price i have seen as low as 74k in this forum i bought it for 75k
bro you are from jaipur too,you got from showroom??
ya were did you got it & for how much
i bought it from jaipur & on 23rd oct (59-431090) 4gb version

...hello guys,,
just a question any one downgraded from windows 8.1 to win 7?
if some one did please need a guide.. tried all the possible way couldn't make it
- - - Updated - - -
min is realtek seems to be so many variants
display is more troublesome than hdd...(as i have already clean installed windows thus no stuttering of audio)
you have to prepare A WINDOWS 8.1 RTM/PRO DVD...(U MAY USE TORRENT AND THEN ACTIVATE IT BY YOUR PRODUCT OEM KEY ,,THUS WINDOWS BECOME GENUINE..
MAKE SURE THE DVD IS MADE UEFI BOOTABLE NOT LEGACY..
you have to prepare A WINDOWS 8.1 RTM/PRO DVD...(U MAY USE TORRENT AND THEN ACTIVATE IT BY YOUR PRODUCT OEM KEY ,,THUS WINDOWS BECOME GENUINE..
DO THIS FIRST AND REPLY I WILL THEN TELL YOU THE NEXT SECRET STEP...
P.S THE SHUT DOWN IS ALMOST HE SAME ..~35-40SEC..TURN ON 12-15SEC,,,THE CLEAN INSTALLATION MAKES THIS QUITE YOUR PERSONALLY CUSTOMIZED OS
I guess it should be UEFI bootable. Also can you please tell whether you have installed the lenovo apps after clean install ? I agree most of them are crap but some like the lenovo settings and energy manger are good. Also the dolby home theatre is awesome.
I have an original Windows 8.1 pro DVD.
i have always clean installed all my previous laptops. It was easy when we had windows XP and 7 but what can i say good times don't last long enough. I had same issue about a month ago, even messing with hyberfile and pagefile didn't help but a few days later it became normal. And now after a whole month I'm getting same issue again. Don't know what happened but but i can't stove it.
But between the 2GB and 4GB ver. which one is better. As i understand from some lil reading that ive done, the 4GB one is Kepler and 2GB one is maxwell (or both of them are Maxwell?) . how bad is the screen?
Sorry for bringing it up again if this has been discussed in length already
Check here for a comparison.
Review Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M Maxwell vs. Kepler - NotebookCheck.net Reviews . Looks like the maxwell is fairing better, and cheaper too. Are there real world scenarios where gaming on 1080p the kepler is better? wouldnt it be better to go with the maxwell one as its more efficient and more importantly cheaper.
And
Talking in Indian context, considering the options available.
Haven't really been able to convince myself to bite the Y50 bullet.
While on topic, i am looking for a decent laptop primarily for multimedia usage, and hence want a good screen. Would also be running some CAD apps like solidworks and ansys, but afaik they wont mandate anything beyond 820 or 830M.
Looking to have some decent performance with games like AC unity. (i know, been through unity review on anandtech and decent performance on High would be fine).
Am considering Z50-70 with 840M (how much would be the difference between the two), but the gamer in me is pushing to spent the extra buck on Y50. Not really sure if the extra HP would really be put to use or not. But any alternative suggestions are welcome.
Also, what would be the best way to buy the Y50. thedostore ? flipkart? or some brick and mortar store? what are the current prices and what do i stand to gain or loose by those options?
Thanks for reading and your valuable comments.
That 850m is a ddr3 version and most prolly Kepler.... :/
u can download either any pro version of windows (later on u can change the product key with the one you have on your laptop)..

i don't know (2nd question's answer)(partitioning will damage the okr,, always )
if i tell you the clean installation method...and after that if u do a partition again..okr is gone again)..but my method creates c drive 100gb and the rest as lenovo d drive...
Read a few comments up. DJ90 got it from amazon at 74k with extended warranty.
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.
Most prolly your hiberfile.sys got corrupted. Disable hibernation and restart and check.
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.
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.
Graphics drivers are latest and the battery is on high performance mode. Please help.
Haven't played DA inquisition myself but my own statistics so far: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.

Yes gaming on battery is bad unless you are playing hearts
All supported displays are to be imported. Not available in India as far as I know.
Thanks for helpAll supported displays are to be imported. Not available in India as far as I know.
Search laptopscreens.com for all y50 compatible screens.
Check the thread: the y50 displays compendium. Google it.
You will get all necessary details and user reviews/ issues on each screen.
Though I read that some IPS panels on the y50 have an eventual ghosting issue. So do your research before ordering. Will cost you around 8k including shipping via alixpress.
You may also get it from eBay.
Google is your friend here. Use it generously
If u have already gone through the registration process then sit back and relax. Lenovo will get back to you.
Today(2nd Feb) also when I checked it says "processing". Looks like I am not gonna get the laptop any time soon.Don't know how long they will delay this.If I don't get it by 15th Feb , the warranty registration period will also get over and I will be left in lurch.
As long as your invoice is dated withing the offer period you will get extended warranty. Even if laptop is delivered after the offer period is over. Your bill date is all that matters...
Y don't u give chroma a call regarding the details?
Ow. Then you can be free of tension I guess. Thedostore takes some time. You should get it by 15 days. Even then you can give lenovo a call just to be sure.
Damn that's bad on their part :/ you anyway should have ordered on amazon in the first place . cheaper rates there.
Either way you have to cancel right? Coz they dont deliver to trivandrum. And they will take up to a month to return your money :/
Do that then. U will also get the extended warranty that way. Make sure to ask them to put the date on the bill as the day u made the purchase.
Do a gauge reset and see. Also uninstall your antivirus and then see.
Thanks bro... doin it right now. Will update soon.

problem still persists... any other suggestions?!
As expected. Antiviruses the bane of systems. Too bad they are required for crappy isps that come bundled with a lot of virus.
I use Advaced System Care the latest version. Ive always used this on all my previous laptops as well.
Avast Internet Security is what I've installed ,which also the latest version with regular updates. Its very light on system resources.
VLC has always been my default player since like forever. I'm pretty sure its not a VLC issue cos i use 5 esternal HDDs all of them work just fine wen I watch movies directly from them.
I use two laptops; my old Acer which I got 3 years ago runs all the above mentioned apps flawlessly. Its still working just fine.
I will definitely defrag my drive tho..
I did not delete the hiber file from C: will look into that as well.
Thaks for the reply... really appreciate it. If you have any other suggestions I'm all ears.

OK, I'm just full of good news today.
I did a windows update and now when I try to restart my lap its just says restarting and there's an infinite loading screen!!! I am beyond pissed off. I just spent all of last night defragging my HDD and I'm still facing all the same issues. Please help!!!
So I had to reinstall windows all over again! Got a blue screen system failure. Luckily my one button recovery still worked. I decided not to do any updates until I absolutely need to. Cos this is the second time I'm facing such issues after doing an update. Dnt know why. I will run the HDD check and let you know if there's a huge difference. Thanks again mate!

Hey all, for those still experiencing lag issues - video and HDD stuttering, i found THE solution!! So far its workin jst fine no stuttering in any of the last 20 videos ive played!!
All you have to do is install a free software called Quiet HDD.
Its a very small file and it runs in the background preventing the stutter. Brilliant stuff.
If any of you try it, update us on your experiences.
Cheers
PS: thanks nitin for your help and suggestions. Give this a go!!

Guys one issue i have with the lappy is that the led staus indicators are switched off anyway to turn them on?
Those temps are fine as long as they are the max temps

What are your ambient temps?
Whoa that's cool. My room temps are 35+ while outside is 45 :/
Have you tried without a cooling pad?
Well 6 months is long enuf for dust. So if all your attempts fail, I guess it's the good ol' cleaning time

Turn over your laptop and see the vent condition, if its all dusty, good chance that the entire hear sink assembly is dusty.oh boy!
Well to be honest, I have never cleaned the vents of a laptop, so how to go about it for this one ?
Glad to help. Just be careful to drain you static electricity first before touching internal components..
Not coming anytime soon. And when it does, it should cost easily above 1 lakh min!
Lenovo isn't going to price it that high. They aren't stupid.
Well I bet they certainly aren't stupid to turn up a loss. The y50 with some below par components started at 80k. So if they actually put in an IPS panel and 960m and good components, not even god can make them price it similar to y50 or lesser. And don't forget the inflation rate buddy
Asus actually manufacture their own components. Lenovo merely assembles components. Yet they can't update their product line faster which is a shame.
Stop waiting fr it. Get Asus. Better build.
how do we drain static electricity ?Glad to help. Just be careful to drain you static electricity first before touching internal components..
Again internet is you friend if you dunno what I mean
If you say that calibration improves the screen a lot, you my friend don't know what is a good screen. The rest of the stuff is good. I never said they are bad. But they are not the best. Lenovo still has a monopoly business in that price range and hence they have bigger sales with such mediocre machines.
almost a rebadge. So is the price difference justified? Ask yourself that before you go to buy.
The clean os install tutorial is in this forum. Please browse through the previous pages a bit.
You can check the Asus model with gtx 950m. Though it is weaker in the GPU department ( not a lot though compared to an 860m), the build is pretty good along with the screen.
See my point is why compromise when you are paying 80k?
for the same price,
Ya I know what you mean. The sad state of affairs here. :/Yes definitely India has been compromised maybe because of it taxation policy that makes imported goods costly,
But even then When it was launched in INDIA last year , (I bought last year in August) , At that time there were no alternative available ,
Even now i dont find any better alternative to THe GTX860M and i7-4710HQ Combo
but I might go for it, just for the screen.
I have to buy a laptop one month later, hoping for y50 refresh by then.
I'm not impressed with the GTX950M benchmarks, also ASUS is selling the DDR3 version
Lol if you want to import, get a Clevo laptop instead or buy one from Azom systems.
. BTW did you purchase? If so which laptop?
Hi Guys, i am in search of a decent mid range gaming laptop...basically i was looking for i7 processor, min. 8GB RAM, faster HDD...i don't have much knowledge on Graphics card. But after going through this thread, i got to know, GTX 860M is good overall...
Based on this specs, I shortlisted below laptops
1. Asus G551JX (i7 4720HQ, 16GB RAM, GTX 950M 2GB, 1TB HDD 7200rpm, IPS display) --> 83K
2. Y50-70 (i7 4710 HQ, 8GB RAM, GTX 860M 4GB, 1TB 5400RPM, FHD display) --> 86K
3. Asus X550JK ((i7 4710 HQ, 8GB RAM, GTX 850M 2GB, 1TB 7200RPM, FHD display) --> 70K
Not sure, which one to go for, i am really not an hard core gamer, but i like to play mid range games like NFSMW, Prince of Persia etc. without any lag...
Knowing, Y50 has a bad display, thinking to go with G551JX as it comes with i7 420HQ, IPS + 7200rpm HDD...
Again G551JX & X550JK doesn't have much difference in terms of specs, but a price difference of 13K
Can anybody suggest me on this please. Thanks
dont get y50. its hdd is verrrrry slow

10k and you have to import. Ones available in India are not compatible.
Don't get the y50 model with 860m. Bad screen will give you eye strain and headache. Some cases nausea- my roommate gets them.
Be careful with eBay. I have no idea for local sellers but if you do get it then go ahead.

Am still skeptical about moving to win 10. Gonna do clean win 8.1 for now+1
Thinking of doing the same thing.
If anyone could please guide me on this.
Ultimately, i just want to install a clean Windows 10 with WORKING OKR as i have been getting a lot of "display driver kernel has stopped working" errors.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
No problem in that. Though Windows 10 is a worthy upgrade.Am still skeptical about moving to win 10. Gonna do clean win 8.1 for now
Actually there are a few guides around the internet about clean ork + win install on lenovo lappys. They are different models though. Not y50.No problem in that. Though Windows 10 is a worthy upgrade.
But I guess the procedure would be the same.
We'll just have to wait until some experienced member posts the guide.
No problem, great.Actually there are a few guides around the internet about clean ork + win install on lenovo lappys. They are different models though. Not y50.
My ssd comes in this weekend lest amazon delivers it faster. So am gonna try things out myself and post my findings.
Your OS? Stock 8.1 or did you update to 10?
If it is still stock, then you may update your gpu drivers without worry from geforce experience.
No need to backup your driver ( there is no way to back up installed drivers)
My y50 just turned 1 year and so far touch wood all has been well.
Wow, sounds scary for a premium laptop. Am never buying lenovo myself anymore after this anyway.
Gaming performance is strangely better on win10 for y50.
First upgrade to win 10 using normal upgrade option so that msoft will store your license as digital entitled.
Just opt to not keep any files i.e. remove all files (It will delete all files in C drive, not other partitions)
Some more details would be nice. Did It stop working just like that? Or you installed something... Etc.
Okay then most prolly some driver issue. Why not upgrade to win 10 yet? It works better than 8.1 and has all drivers.
Go to your product activation and log into to any ms account (live.com, outlook.com, hotmail.com) If you have logged in , it should show your email ID every time you boot up your computer.
Dude you don't need an MS account for digital entitlement. It's only an option which will made available in the anniversary update. And if you have a OEM (came with the computer) version, I don't think you can attach it to your Microsoft account regardless.
Yes sure. Thank you.Personal preference of course buddy. But I would rather save for a year, and then get some resale value on this and plan for new hardware. But then again that's my opinion and I can only even think of that because I work
Please do go ahead an plan whatever you are planning.
