I just said I got referred to him by a friend who got a good deal on the computer. Unfortunately though, it looks like the bundle isn't available anymore

Eh $1239 for the SLI still isn't too bad. Do we have any confirmed battery life tests on it at this point? If I could get 5 hours out of it when not gaming then it may top my list, if not I may be leaning MSI GE60 at this point.
-
can anyone confirm this comes with/without french keyboard?
-
yep I just tried. the best they could do is lower the price to a student pricing. no bundles whatsoever.
-
-
It was a pretty dang good deal. Glad I got it when I did haha. -
Why is the newegg version not being discussed? I mean for $1149 you get SLI config but loose 4gb or Ram which dosnt seem like a big deal. That price is after tax and free 3 day delivery.

2. 8 vs 24gb SSD won't make a difference since both aren't enough for anything, they are only used just to boot the system faster then a normal HDD
3. You got me there on the warranty
4. I actually love Newegg's warranty, I have never had a problem with it, they are always good and quick at replacing your product
I guess it just all comes down to personal opinion.

So, 8GB is enough for that? I need to have the whole Windows folder on that drive for fast boot? Or how do that works?
Because I think Equant is right $1149 AFTER taxes for SLI from Newegg sounds pretty good IMO, and you can upgrade the ram later too. -

Hello guys! I am thinking of ordering the basic non-SLI 8gb version from Lenovo. The estimated ship date is 6/20. Have you experienced large delays from your estimated ship dates yet? It's very important for me. If the shipment is to be delayed by more than a week, there is no point in placing the order for me.

If anyone knows where to get a y510p SLI model with international/global warranty (or somehow get warranty although I live in Canada), please do tell!
Also, for those that are wondering about the extended battery life rumour/if the y510p has optimus technology enabled, it appears that on battery, it indeed does run on the intel gpu (provided you have the driver installed for it). Got the information from this thread: http://forum.notebookreview.com/ideapad-essential/720968-how-much-better-y510p-than-y500.html -

Larger cache drive is important specially when dealing with a 5200 rpm drive. Alone windows 8 takes up over 20 gigs alone. Read the fine print before you buy an extended warranty off someone other then manufacturer. Newegg doesn't have to fix the body with Accidently which is redicious they just have to get it working.

Interesting it does appear from screen shots that the igpu is not disabled. Therefore you should be able to use it. I don't think sli would ever allow for this. But if you remove the second card it becomes most interesting. Can anyone else confirm this?

I don't think I've ever installed any drivers of any sort. If anyone would be kind enough to take the time to explain to me how to install these drivers? Any extra boost to the battery life would be absolutely great! And also, will I be using the Nvidia or the integrated graphics when playing a game?

So I've been researching laptops for the past month or so to purchase for college. My mother really wants me to get a MacBook Pro. Now I'm not totally against it, but I've been a pc guy my whole life. Not knowing much about laptops, my friend pointed me to the y500 which seemed like a super nice deal. The only thing I'm worried about is the 2-3 hour battery life. I'm a film maker so I need a decent setup to edit (using premiere pro, after effects and avid) now I know that I'm probably not going to be able to edit like I do on the desktop I built but I want something to get the job done. I am a big pc gamer too, but I don't expect to max anything out with a laptop.
So my question is, with a budget out ~$1,300 would I be better off with sticking with the y500 (12 or 16gb), step up to the y510p, or go with a MBP?
Sorry if this isn't the perfect place for this, but I just found out about the y510p today so I'm having second thoughts. And what's this whole discussion with the video cards in the y510p and shutting them off or something? Is it a big problem, or is it just to conserve battery? -

I think Alienware has SLI laptops, do they have Optimus?
-
Would the Ideapad Y510p with SLI or MSI's GE60 20E-003US with a single GTX 765M be better, gaming wise?
MSI : MSI Notebook Official Website - Product Preview Page -
Pros for lenovo: cheaper, better graphics card perfrmance, more ram, NGFF slot(assuming it's faster than msata and can accomodate a high capasity SSD)
Pros for MSI: Optimus works, It has dual mSata ports(Theoretically doubles the SSD speed if set up properly), you get a BD burner back -
I am not sure if I really need the SLI for this computer. Is there optimus with only one 750m?
-

-
How soon do you think we'll be able to know if we can use Optimus?

I got the base model with 1080 screen (no SSD, no SLI) for $879.
Here's the paraphrased chatlog: (I'm using the Canada store)
Essentially, I contacted a sales rep and asked if I could customize one of their models (I was trying to switch the SSD out for 12GB RAM lol). The guy told me he couldn't do it, and offered me the $999 model with HD screen and 24GB SSD. I told him I didn't want the SSD, so he offered me the $1329 model: HD screen and no SSD (the 35% coupon isn't valid for that model, strangely). I told him I don't want that cause there's no discount, so he offered it to me for $879 if I bought right away (a whopping $450 off ). Needless to say, I took the deal and it's shipping "on or before" the 15th. wooo! \o/ -

I was going to say that I take back what I said about there being no optimus. I think what I didn't seem to realize was the amount of review so far about this laptop, the majority had SLI. So I apologize for what I said earlier, misleading a couple of others, and correct myself by agreeing with optimus possibly being enabled. -

damn it the y510p is sold out on newegg i hope it will come back in stock soon.
