Y50 Thread

That's pretty much what HP did to the 5650 in my Envy to handle heat management.

 

Thanks. It was more that in the specs the touch screen option was always written next to the HD version. I saw the CES video's but I watched so many I wasn't sure if it was 4K model when touch was being demonstrated.

Eitherway touch is not really a big selling point for me. Better if the screen could be flipped but Id rather a more durable laptop than that.

 

I read somewhere on the internet that a aorus x7 small edition (15,6 inch screen) will come out, if so, it would be around the same price as the y50, and it has 10x better cooling system, we just have to wait and see.

 

When resolution goes up battery goes down..if you use it in HD mode you will have 7,5+ hours.

What are you basing this on....both laptops will have dual fan cooling solutions...but the y50 has single GPU to cool while the Aorus is a SLI(twice the heat).
Logic and physics dictate exactly the oposite of what you are saying

 

if you see a clip on youtube you see that it is cool while running batman in 4k

 

Really?? Please provide me link

Lol...how can you see it's cool???

 

I'm always interested in latest tech, I have just found Clevo's best bang for the buck when it comes to gaming, and have an agreement when it comes to laptops to review. I own and have owned Acer, HP, Gateway, Toshiba, Asus, Alienware laptops. For portability, Clevo is far from the best choice. I'm likely going for the Aorus X7 anyhow, because I want a larger screen, but don't want all the bulk of a regular 17" laptop.

Although this may suffice since it's 15.6" if the SLI 765m doesn't perform more than 50% better than single 765m. 860m if 20nm Maxwell, *should* run significantly faster than the 765m (at least 20% by my guess). But it all comes down to cooling and performance.

Two fans? Nice. It may have decent cooling then.

 

I didnt find a video where they show it is in 4k, but maybe i took wrong sorry, but i pretty sure i saw it somewhere.

Lol...dude it says it's a TN screen first of all....they don't make 4k TN. )

Also the aorus website says clearly it's a FullHD screen

 

It was another setup and they played another game, that was the only video i found, i cant find the other.

 

Stop talking aimlessly and embarassing yourself

http://www.aorus.com/x7.aspx

Official Aorus website says FullHD screen...there is no 4K screen in any configuration.

And even if there wass you can not tell how hot it would get from a video

The video that you saw of 4K batman is of the Alienware 18"

 

Forget it i dont argue. Anyway can i have a hdd and a ssd in the y50?

 

No one knows yet. No info has been released regarding this.

 

Per the spec sheet from Lenovo it only supports 1 storage drive (traditional mechanical drive, hybrid mechanical/SSD caching, or SSD.)

Spec Sheet: http://news.lenovo.com/images/20034/Y, Z, C-Series and LBG Monitors Spec Sheets.pdf
* Information may not be %100 accurate as it mentions a DVD drive in the Y50, and also is using the Y4/510 images.

 

The spec sheet for the y510 said the same thing yet it has a M2.NGFF slot available....this one might be the same since it supports a SSD cache.

That specsheet doesn't actually deny or confirm anything about the availability of a second slot(be it traditional 2.5 ,mSata or M2.NGFF)

Most manufacturers only take into consideration the number of 2.5" slots when writing their specsheets.

 

Then i just get a hybrid, since it is almost as fast as a ssd, and much cheaper

 

) in what way is a hybrid "almost as fast" as a ssd?
In 90% of the cases a hybrid is no faster than an ordinary hdd.

 

Any idea what a good comparison for the AMD RadeonR9 M270 is?

 

No idea. AMD hasn't even listed that GPU on their website yet. I'll be waiting for Notebookcheck to do a GPU comparison.

 

Hands on: Lenovo Y50 review | Laptops and netbooks Reviews | TechRadar

A review. Turns out the keyboard sucks

 

It's a prototype. They have a few months to fix it.

 

Looks like I'll end up waiting for this one...
I really can't find a laptop out there in the 14-15 " range with acceptable gaming capabilities in a reasonably slim chassis and a good IPS screen
The closest thing would be the asus n550...if only it had the gddr5 version of the 750m
So here'a hoping they will put out a good laptop with reasonable build quality

 

If they fix it they'll have to do it fast... isn't manufacturing done 3 months prior to product launch?

 

the samsung ativ8 or dell xps15 roughly fit thos criteria.

 

I would have gone for this one if they included an msata slot in it.

 

It might have M.2 storage, this isn't confirmed yet.

 

Double post.

 

Cos I saw the brochure specs and there's only 1 HDD bay. Guess, I will have to wait and see if they make any modifications to the final release.

 

The y410/510p doesn't state they have m.2 bay either. Many people thought it had msata.

 

Ativ book 8 has ALOT of issues including image retention and problems with 8870 drivers plus no msata or m2.ngff slot.

Dell xps is a beautifull machine but wildly expensive at 2k usd

Based on the history of lenovo y series(all of them had either msata or m2.ngff even if it was not mentioned in the specsheet) i think the y50 will have one two especially since it has been announced to come with a hybrid hdd option.

 

JINX, I looked into this one before i saw the y50

So that means it might have 3-4 hours of battery life on battery mode...

Unacceptable, especially if there isn't an option to use a larger battery. But then that defeats the purpose of trying to make the laptop thinner.

 

You do realise this will be a gaming laptop not an ultrabook. It's not intended to have a huge battery life and i doubt alot of people where expecting it to have it. It is a 1000$ notebook with good bang for buck...they have to save money somewhere to keep it cheap.

I looked into that one also for quite some time...saddly it's missing one of my base requests...a good quality IPS screen. Also it ain't exactly slim at 3.5 cm

 

If the GPU ends up being worse than the 755, the Y410p would then be the better choice, even though the display is inferior, you get a larger, replaceable battery... Also the fact that the 1080p screen still has poor viewing angles in that video...

No optical drive either, RIP extra room for storage.

And it's kinda wierd to see how they didn't change the weight of the laptop. Mine weighs 4.9...

 

I assume the weight includes the power supply since the y410p did as well.

 

But if I'm running the laptop in battery mode and thus only use the CPU and the IGP, I expect the battery life to be more than 4 hours.

Otherwise, I'll just get a discounted 410p or look elsewhere.

 

The weight (5.5 lbs) of the Y410p as stated on the Website does NOT include the power supply, however it DOES include the weight of the SLI module, which is absent in any Y410p. The actual weight of the laptop, as stated in the hardware maintenance manual, is 4.95 lbs.

 

All i want is for the FHD screen to be LVDS so Y410p/Y400 owners (and even Razer blade owners too!) can do an upgrade to FHD.

 

When will the 860m come out? I am so excited to see how powerfull it is.

 

The problem with the razer blade screen is not the connection...it's the fact that razer has custom displays without the metal rim arround them to keep them as thin as possible.
You can not find displays that lack this metal "bezel" anywhere on the market today.
People have tried...there is actually a thread arround here...to remove this metal rim from a normal display but none of them managed without breaking the screen.

 

Yea, that's what I'm thinking too. With a Haswell CPU and Optimus, it shouldn't matter too much that they also put in an 860m. 3-4 hours would mean something like a 30-40 Wh battery, which is tiny. My netbook from 2008 has more than that.

In comparison, the Y410p/Y510p's battery can have 48w/h (3-4 hours), 62w/h (5 hours) and 72 w/h (5-6 hours)...

 

It's going to consume 12-15W idle with light workload, and it will likely be a 60-65WHr battery.

 

Am i the only one that really is excited for the y50?

 

You are not the only one man...Can't wait for it to hit the market. Lets just hope they use the configuration seen in those videos and the 860M is powerful enough.

 

15 watts idle with a Haswell setup? Well, I guess we'll see, but that doesn't make too much sense.

well, it does have a 1080p to 4k display choice and dedicated cards too.

 

The Sucess of the new Y40/50 will depend on a few things:
I wonder if the R9 M270 / GTX 860M will be rebranded, old gpus, or already new chips. I hope they are new chips, with more power then their predecessors!
Because they mention battery life : up to 4 hours. Might there be a better battery option aswell?? - I would appreciate this, especially combined with the NVidia Optimus technolgy,if they offered such an option!
What about the cooling system? Will Lenovo be able to create a quiet and efficient cooling system? - The GE40 gets loud, the GS70, maybe about as loud as the razer blade series!
Hopefully, maintenance gets better, compared to the ancient lenovo y series! Especially the acces to the fans should be improved in order to clean the laptop easier!
I hope they are going to release the Y40 in Germany aswell, not only the bigger, 15" brother/sister
Anyway, these laptops look very interesting, and definitely worth a buy if the price, cooling system, performance, battery life, maintenance and build quality are good :thumbsup:
