Major OEMs refresh their laptop with low voltage quad-core i5-8250U & i7-8550U Kaby lake R cpu.
Its expected significant faster than old kaby lake duo-core i5-7200U and i7-7700U.

AMD mobile Q'core APU, Ryzen 5 2500U + RX Vega 8 & Ryzen 7 2700U + RX Vega 10 coming soon ...Intel has every reason to worry.

Push innovation to the edge, meet the new generation XPS15.
The world's smallest, lighter 15" laptop with infinity edge-to-edge display, Skylake proc and GTX960m coming soon.
Wish the cheaper variant with non-touch FHD come soonest.
Laptop refresh with skylake proc is slow due to limited supply, expected to see more skylake laptops soon.

It seems gt750m is an OC gtx660m with higher clock due to matured 28nm manufacturing.

Default GT750m core clock 941mhz turbo boost to 1058mhz in Furmark test exceeded the default boost clock 967mhz . This might be due to boost 2.0 in new Gpu.
Default GT650m core clock 790mhz remains the same in Furmark test since GPU boost is not enable.

Y500/Y400 grey imported set (AP set)
Other variants of Y500/Y400 are US imported set(AP set) with same/different specs, cheaper price and 1 yr US warranty. Its best to avoid due to many potential hardware/warranty issues.

- Major warranty claim issues on imported set((AP set) reported in local Lenovo facebook.
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2491914/+930
Case 1) Replied from Lenovo Malaysia in their facebook for the user who bought the imported set (AP set) quoted below:
Lenovo Malaysia:
"Hi Ms Radhika, sorry for the delay. I have intended to contact you as soon I was able to speak to the reseller who sold you the U300 but was unable to since their number was not reachable, however, in the process, dialled your brother's number which was written in the purchase invoice (thinking it could be the salesman's contact number) and I have spoken to him with regards to the management disposition on this case.

Lenovo management has decided that we will not be able to support your request for a replacement or refund because this machine is a US based machine. The dealer who sold you the unit is not an authorized Lenovo reseller. I have tried to contact the reseller but to no avail, in order to advise them the situation and for them to liase with you with regards to the solution that they may be able to offer you. I suggest that you walk in to the reseller's office if you also fail to reach them via telephone and bring up this issue to them.

Although Lenovo is an international company, the services that we render is subjected to the company's local policy and at the same time governed by Lenovo International Term & Condition.

For your existing U300 which are still at our service center, we will finish up the repair but there won't be any more warranty repair should any issue surfaces after this. "

Seller doesn't have original receipt for the laptops she purchased.

I bought 2 units from the seller above. One broke down in 18 days.

She told me to sent it in for warranty despite I want a replacement from her.

Nevermind , I agreed with her. Now Lenovo did not fix anything and sent me back a faulty unit. This part is not her fault.

But IBM Service Center offered me a chance of a replacement unit. However, they needed the official receipt.

I contacted fie. She replied me that she doesn't have any official receipt.

Laptop buyers beware. I just want to state to you all what I have gone through for 1 month.

She will try to reassured you but words are just words, she just does nothing and is only INTERESTED IN UR MONEY.

my word of advice to all of u , get from a store which has the official receipt.

Attached is my conversation with this person.

[attachmentid=2900854][attachmentid=2920458][attachmentid=2904247]

According to Chinese site, Y580 has abnormal high HDD temperature due to thermal design problem where hardisk is located between the heat source CPU & GPU
HDD idle temp around 47C, it reached 63C during Furmark & Prime95 stress test.
Will it affect HDD lifespan as we may lost all the critical data?
