I mean the tiles suck but they basically allow me to keep my program shortcuts there and prevent clutter on my desktop, so that's ok. Additionally, the performance vs windows 7 is proven to slightly faster which is important if you're using the y500 for gaming.

Even if you modify the bios, you will not be able to reactivate it.

I haven't personally used a SSD with this system but from my understanding, their is gains in speeds when using a regular 5400rpm drive coupled with an msata as there is to using a full blown ssd. Still, the SSD I believe.

I do not believe that the P8 level can be manipulated. Sorry.

Great additions to the laptop. I am just wondering if it is possible to eliminate the heat problem by a larger heatsink and if a larger heatsink will fit?
