A few weeks ago I created a thread here about the Y580 and received plenty of helpful information.
I had the money ready to make the purchase but learned that the Y500 itself was released and because I wanted to have the laptop for several years I decided to rethink purchasing the Y580 and instead going after the Y500. I have a few questions though, so if you can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
First off, I am interested in gaming and I am not familiar with how lenovo's ultrabay works. All my years of using a computer I have always had a optical drive so I can watch movies and play games that were on disc. Will the ultrabay still be able to do this? I searched many reviews on YouTube and online and under the specs most listed 'no optical drive' which would b a problem because I need an optical drive also to download software from discs. I can't imagine using a laptop without being able to use discs but hopefully this isn't the case and you clear this up for me.
Also by reading reviews I noticed the trackpad had some issues but was fixable if you turned gestures off or got a newer version or even if you didn't get a new version from lenovo they would come to your house and fix it for you I heard.
Hope you guys can clear me up with these questions as I am eager to make a purchase as soon as Friday after 6+ months of searching.
This is the laptop with the specs that I have been looking at
