@jinayhvora i am looking at the Samsung one...
But lenovo y500 has ultrabay ... brief me about it.. nd i am sure i will take d Lenovo one
..
But it has trackpad issues

You can get the Y500 with GT750 SLI.

The ultrabay allows you to switch between the following item to fit your needs.

2nd GPU for SLI.
DVD-RW
2nd harddrive.
Extra fan.

The one issue I see for you would be the battery life. The Y500 cannot use the HD4000 GPU on the i7 or i5 to reduce the power.
Max battery life with one GPU and in power saving mode is just a little over 4 hours.

I do not have an issue with this myself. The Y500 run fast and plays all the newest games on Med or high. I was stuck at a location with nothing to do and was able to play MWonlline on high for 10 hours with no heat issues.

The track pad issues were fixed before I bought mine in late Febuary.

Thnx for the solution...
Is gt 750 = 650 ( just rebranding?)
Also can i get win 7 on it...??

 

[sid3695]

... i am not expecting noticeable bottleneck by i5 plus it saves me 200$

The latest lenovo y500 is 74000 rs. Approx 1300$
Out of my budget
How is a single gt 650 in performance?

Try newegg

$989.00
Lenovo IdeaPad Y500 (59359560) Notebook Intel Core i5 3230M(2.60GHz) 15.6" 6GB Memory DDR3 1600 1TB HDD 5400rpm Dual NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M SLI

 

[sid3695]

i dont think its available here ,..thn for the reply btw

please do rply , how is the gt650 ?

 

[jinayhvora]

not very good, but considering the resolution on a laptop at that price is generally 720p it will run newer games at medium and max out older games

 

[olin9]

I have the i7 with 1080 screen anf one GT650 will run MWOnline at high. Even if you have 2 GT650 in SLI the game must support it and MWOnline does not.

Here is the best review of the Y500 with GT650 that list FPS for most of the new games.
