    I saw this model on Amazon and the price is good :D . But it did not mentioned whether it is equipped with SSD so I am a little bit confused.

    I went to the Lenovo Website, it says that Y560 has Lenovo Enhanced Experience (Rapid Drive) that will make boot up and shut down faster, does that mean all Y560 has SSD?
    On the other hand, the Lenovo official website also does not have the 06462EU.

    So would you guys tell me whether it has SSD? Otherwise the 500Gb 5400REMP HDD seems not good enough.

    Welcome to Lenovo's borderline false advertising. The RapidDrive feature is still not available on these machines.(Combines a SSD in the ExpressCard slot and a normal harddrive.) If you could provide the link, it would help.

    It still wouldn't work because of the software needed to make it work still isn't available. Getting a traditional SSD is one option as well as the Seagate Momentus XT which is similar to the RapidDrive. This of course, is if you really need the extra speed and want to pay for it.

    so the SSD is equipped in it and it will work once the software is released?

    No. I have the model you mentioned. There is no RapidDrive or SSD of any kind. Nor does it have switchable graphics or bluetooth.

    EDIT: I HAD that model. (Traded it for a nearly new T410).
