Till now, without graphics card: Lenovo site: 964.09
Newegg site (if 16gb ram upgraded with same: 933.90

What about the graphics card, i would say, it cost something like 100 each
No idea since there aint any online :/

But these prices are not for mass production, I would say, they should be making these round 6xx each lol
Earning half the price just for fun and fyi

 

Which version of 3dMark are you using?

 

I'm just returning mine and going with the sager np8250 which costs less than sli and is a better computer. (Note: if you have more money the sager np8250-s is way better and still 15.6") all off exoticpc.com

 

IdeaPad Y510p High-Performance 15.6" Multimedia Laptop from Lenovo | Lenovo (US)
Its still there, u hv to press next :/ to see it :/

I ordered mine 4 days ago.... and it arrived yesterday. They still hv stocks, the estimate date is little unreliable :/

 

Thanks for your info, i m thinking as well to return mine n get this :/ although its a bit heavier, but it has a better graphics card, CORRECT processer, 4700, its only a bit more expensive on 16gb ram, not by much at all..... n it has grid 2 for free lol
And almost everything can be upgrade by ourselves if we want in later date, dats what gamer like me need, a laptop which is completely upgradeable :/

Edit: Even their lower price one have the same spec as y510p with 750m Optimus Technology enabled, even better, 16gb ram, 7000rpm hard drive
http://www.sagernotebook.com/index.php?page=product_customed&model_name=NP6652

FOR ONLY $1089, No tax needed for NY, dats like $400 usd cheaper..... Comeon....

 

Yeah there's also the np8230 on xoticpc which is only a little bit more expensive than the one you just mentioned with 16gb of ram. Also sorry for misspelling the website, its actually XOTICPC without the E. Lol.

 

Guys I need your advice... due to this whole 4702 thing I'm now debating whether I should keep my Y500 (was about to ship it back since I got the Y510) or keep the Y510.

Here's what I paid (pre tax):
Y510 4702MQ 750M SLI 16GB RAM - $1,049.00
Y500 Single 750M 8GB RAM- $809

 

Thank You!!!

 

Will do. Thanks a ton for your help guys!

 

Well, do you find that the Y510 is 30% faster and/or better? That's roughly the difference in price.

 

They didnt took it down, just hit the very very little "next" button on top and you will see the sli version again

Wow, im just starting to watch this Sager laptop and i'm impresed. Could you please make us a specs comparasion between this and the y510p please? Also put the price between the two. I would be grateful. Thanks!

 

$240 for the extra 750m card, 8GB more ram,Optimus, and Matte screen isn't bad considering what lenovo sells the extra card for but those 3d tests posted earlier are putting me off a bit.

 

how transparent is the 3dmark benchmark compared to real world applications such as playing games and running graphics software?

 

For me, the biggest problem is not the 4702 CPU, but the 750M being underclocked when not plug-in. It makes the graphics performance worse than my old 2 generation i5.
Could anyone please recommend some laptops under $1500 that have similar performance and weight but do not disable iGPU?

 

Hey guys, will a crucial m500 960gb SS fit in this computer, or should I just go with the Samsung 500gb?

 

But do you want to have your GPU at full power for hardcore gaming while unplugued? That would last you less than 2 hours anyways on any laptop.

 

I ordered a y510p with the 4702mq SLI edition, and a y500 SLI, both with 16gigs of ram. Whats the performance going to look like between the two? Trying to decide which one to keep and which one to return.

 

Gaming on the battery won't provide the same performance while plugged. That will drain the battery real fast, and the heat would damage the battery .

 

Which is why I am looking for a laptop with proper iGPU, HD4600 or even HD4000 in the 3rd generation. The HD4600 will show up in this Y510P but does not work properly.
I have tested it last night by removing the utralbay 750m.
It doesn't matter the PhysX sets to 750M or CPU, as long as the power cord is plugged in, the 750m works at full clock. Once I unplug the laptop, the 750m goes underclocked but the HD4600 does not seem to work.
BTW, the laptop lasts 3h2m before it goes into sleep, including 5mins gaming, 20mins video streaming, and the rest of time for just web browsing.

 

Just pick any optimus enabled laptop(pretty much all of them are). There are only a couple that have SLI capabilities and have optimus disabled. Msi and sager both make comparable and superior laptops at your price range

 

I don't expect it performs as same as while plug. The problem is the the 750m being underclocked and HD4600 not working properly while plugged, its performance in game is worse than my previous i5-2310m with 6630M while unplugged.

 

I agree. I tested this with my y500. I got better framerates with hd 3000 on my Alienware than I did with my throttled 750M SLI. Same game same res on both laptops.

 

So what makes you keep the Y500?

 

Re: Y510P

Check this out, so funny guys, SO FUNNY lololol

 

we just got screwed since they updated their website

 

Actually, I was originally going to RMA it and get the Y510p. After finding out there was no longer mSata support, I decided to cancel my y510p order. Since I had the option to still RMA the Y500, I'm in the process of still doing so(shipping it back tomorrow). It's a good laptop and I don't unplug it, so it never bothered me that there was no Optimus. But it is rather large and there are better laptops out there now, for similar prices, in my opinion. So now I'm going to wait it out and try to find something more portable with a mid-range GPU. I've considered the new 14" Razer blade but their prices are insane(about $400 overpriced). I'm mainly waiting to see if the new 13" MBP will carry the 750M or not. If it does, I might go with that. I have a good desktop, so I don't really "need" a hardcore gaming laptop. I would however like something that plays games decently and is portable. If not, I'll probably go with an MSI or Sager laptop. I'm trying to be patient.

 

When I saw that you guys had gotten 4702s instead of 4700s, I actually took a picture of my order form which says 4700mq, but I got it delivered today and its 4702. If you guys want it I can upload it when I get home friday/saturday

 

There is NO optical drive now for dual graphics card buy guys, i confirmed that with a sales rep just now lol. Instead there will be a blank space lolololol. or a description as "none".
SO, new ppl who just joined this thread, Beware, if you go for the DUAL graphics card option, now you will get NO dual graphics card, zero, nothing there, blank space. basically paying more then the basic option for that op blank space.
If u dont believe me, check out what they say on the Dual graphics card model on y500

LOLOL..... Hyped

 

OK, that's fine I think people want that option, not the system deciding nope, sorry I'm not going to allow that.

Cheers,

 

First I would like to add if your main concern is battery life and to game unplugged thats simple not going to happen. Unless you desire to play candy crush lol. No real gaming will ever be done unplugged gpu's and cpu's draw to much power under load. Only gaming that you can do unplugged at the moment are Arm based cpu's and android or ios.

How big of a difference is this going to affect video editing or photoshop editing? I'm really unsure whether to return this computer or not.

 

I agree, I'm a Mac user. This system is for Windows gaming only and is always plugged in, however, there are people who want to choose to do what is not recommended anyway. Even if it only last 30 minutes they want to try. It's human nature to resist the easy road.

Cheers,

 

Could somebody please suggest some alternatives to Y510P other than MSI/Sager/Clevo? Ideally they should cost around the same (<$1200), have similar performance, and are somewhat portable (~6 pounds)?

 

I have been looking all day but the best I can find is a MSI GT60 2OC-022US that costs $1300 after rebate. Would also like to know some other options.

The Lenovo.com store is now listing the y510p as having a "glossy wedge" screen and not an anti-glare screen. The specs on these machines change ever 6 hours!

 

There's Asus and Alienware. You'll pay a premium for the brand though. Not sure if Asus has released Haswell models yet. I don't think you're going to find anything under $1200 though. Reason everyone brings up sager and Msi is because there isn't any other alternative for the price.

 

Xoticpc has all the latest models for each brand available. Check there and also do a thread search in this thread. Lots of people have made recommendations over the past couple weeks. There's about 2-3 models per brand that are equivalent or superior than Lenovo but you have to be ok with giving up something, such as backlit kb, weight, size, ram. There's no perfect match at Lenovo's prices. I personally would rather have no backlit kb than to have that odd glowing touchpad that sager is selling lol.

 

Lenovo website just trolled everyone. It says "Dual" but there's no SLI anymore. lenovo.

Lenovo website just trolled everyone. It says "Dual" but there's no SLI anymore.

 

I've been following this thread for around 40 pages and have checked their website every day. That change has been there for around 3 days now, friend. It's a main reason I haven't bought one, still. Because I can't have a glossy screen I go outside too much.

 

so lets see -

cpu changed
ram changed? (can someone confirm?)
lcd screen changed? (can someone confirm?)

we should document all the changes.

also, please read their policy -

Hey guys I called up a tech specialist and he said that the 5th model is still SLI ( two 750M's). They changed the optical drive to "none" because it was apparently confusing a lot of people.

 

This is interesting. I was taking my mSata out from my Y500 so I could return it, I noticed under the wifi card that there is a second area to solder a PCI-E slot. The screw hole is also long enough for a standard msata. I wonder if the y510p has this area as well. If someone has the guts, they could potentially add a slot for mSata support. If anyone has a Y510p and doesn't mind opening it, please snap a picture of this area.

 

look at the tech specs
"Display/Resolution

15.6" FHD LED Anti-Glare Wedge 1920x1080
16:9 widescreen"

 

Is this just on battery with both cards installed, or on battery with just one card?

 

With two cards, however I did run 3dmark11 the first night I got it with single card, and it was pretty much the same although I didn't save the record.

 

Why does the most expensive model of the Y510p seem to have a slightly worse processor in it? ARK | Compare Intel® Products

 

Thanks for the info.

So I called Lenovo about sending me the wrong processor and as soon as they saw it was a Y510 they were like "oh yes this was a manufacturing issue, send the machine in for a full refund". I wasn't too thrilled with that option so I opted for a $50 credit, which means I got the machine for $999 before tax.
