    After two months of waiting to samsung 7 series i aborted my pre order because i am having a flight in 9th of november, anyway i ordered a lenovo y570p, it will arrive today i have a few questions about this unit:
    1) which of the programs i can uninstall?
    2) my unit will come with a msata 64GB SSD, the windows is installed on the ssd or on the hard drive?
    3) can i in the future change the display to 1080P or at least to 900P?

    finally i got my unit but when i am running the WEI there is an error
    "The windows experience index for your system could not be computed"
    i already ready install the latest intel graphics driver
    from where i can download the latest nvidia driver? it`s seems people having problem with nvidia latest driver

    The SSD and HDD appear as one drive. Their drivers choose what to store on the SSD or HDD. If you want to manually install to the SSD, you have to write a boot sector to the SSD, as it isn't initialized by Lenovo and the Windows installer won't recognize it. Just use an Ubuntu live distro and use the disc partitioner included to write the boot sector. Use Windows 7's installer to format the SSD, as it will automatically align it for you.

    You can change the display as long as you buy a compatible screen... it will likely void your warranty though.
