Hi , how are you

Pretty good.

Great, and how can I help you

I purchased a Lenovo Y410P laptop from you a while back for its dual graphics capabilities. I've since done some research and there seems to be some confusion about whether an ultrabay graphics solution will ever be released for he Y410P. Can you tell me if and when the ultrabay 750m graphics will be released for the Y400 series?

It will not be. Unfortunately that is only on the 15 in models

Are you sure? It says there will be dual graphics options on the features page and it has been there for over a month now.

Yes, I have recently been told by the product team that it will not support it. Can you send me the link you are referencing

IdeaPad Y410p High-Performance 14" Multimedia Laptop from Lenovo | Lenovo (US)

thanks, let me check it out

I am sorry, this is a mistake that I am reporting right now

I'm positive it has been reported numerous times before as I have been reading posts in message boards about this for over a month since the Y400 had the same issue.

the Y400 could use sli
but the Y410 cannot

The Y400 with the 650m graphics was advertised with SLi. However no ultrabay cards were every release. The Y400 with the 750m graphics was also advertised the same and likewise no ultrabays were ever released. Now the Y410P is also advertised with ultrabay grapics and now you are telling me they will not be released. Do you see my problem here?

the Y400 card was released, it has just been sold through

and yes, I see the problem on the Y410 stating that since it is incorrect

I am very sorry about that, I just sent this link in to the product team

It has been submitted before. There are some very misleading practices Lenovo is participating in. Not only will I be returning my Y410P, but I will be sure to alert as many potential buyers about Lenovo's poor business practices.

I understand, I am very sorry you were misinformed

What do you need to process my return?

I will have to get you over to the post sales team.

FYI, this applies to *Ultrabay graphics also.

 

Try another rep, you may get difference answer.?

 

I am 100% positive I will with their reps. But because of the history on this issue I am inclined to believe this answer. Terrible...

 

I just asked a sales rep and they told me they're coming in July...

 

Did he say which year?

Some of us have been waiting a LONG time to buy any sort of ultrabay for our Lenovos.

 

As I expected, rep are clueless. To make thing worse, lenovo site maintainer copy/paste everything.

 

Idk, my Y410p has a sticker on it saying ULTRABAY... so if nothing comes in the next few months I'm going to be complaining to them.

 

If you go on the website you can see that no 14 incher has SLI.

 

That doesn't mean it can't HAVE SLI, that just means none of them come with SLI. A sales rep said the model with SLI is coming later, as well as the ultrabay to upgrade existing models.

 

i think that rep is just mocking you, check this pic from engadget

Its weird, because Lenovo always do lots of advertising about this Ultra Bay products for both 14" and 15.6" Y's but in the end you are never able to buy those parts for the 14" ones (Y400/Y410p) =/

 

And yet, those parts exist for the Y500 and Y510 because you can buy several different configurations of those computers utilizing different ultrabay options.

Why won't Lenovo simply sell those ultrabays as single add-on parts to consumers who want to buy them?!
