    I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this question. I'm new here.

    I'm desperately looking for an ideapad y500 with SLI that can be delivered in belgium or germany. www.lenovoshop.com/de keeps delaying it and I need it as soon as possible, do any of you know some alternatives?

    Hi, i would like to advice you to postpone purchase for at least few days. I got mine 3 days ago, and i already have it packed and ready for return. First issue that i was ready to ignore is random connection drop while on WIFI. With some power management tweaks i managed to make it more rare, but its still present. Second, and one that i am not willing to forgive, is touchpad issue which is by my opinion serious problem. Laptops price is almost 1k, and i prefer to have working one, at least on first day after purchase.

    Good luck with it anyway.

    Thank you. I was hoping that the touchpad issue was software related so that it would be fixed without having to return the laptop, but apparently it isn't? I never heard of the wifi problem, I'll look it up on the forums to see if it's common.
