it is not only the performance wich makes me consider of selling my y500 for y50 ist the whole pc itself, The y50 supports nvidia optimus/cuda wich y500 does not, it barely runs anything on battery wich is annoyng. secondly the Bluetooth and other problems with it. I need bluetooth to work. also the screen, the y50 has the antiglare wich i think is very nice of them, and finally, the size and wight and looks of the y50 just blows me away. If i eventually will buy this laptop (in 2months or so) i will post everything i have to tell about it, it looks promising. Buch of reviews are coming up that the y50 is quite a bargan and it actually works and maybe will last longer (i have my y500 for a year now and i changed the track pad, teh buetooth sux balls my screen cable broke, the blue-ray works when it wants to work no intel graphics so no fun stuf on battery, the laptop is crap)

I second this, the bluetooth in the y500 is horrendous. Considering the switch to the y50 just for the bluetooth.

Before reinstalling windows or a ghost image, I'd see if you can boot into a linux live-usb to see if there's something more going on.

I have Cooler Master NotePal U2 with Two Configurable 80mm Fans and it work excellent on my last Y570 and my new Y510p!

I also have a CM Notepal U2 and it's great, drops my temps by almost 10C.

I never break 75C no matter what I play, if mine was breaking 90 I'd consider adding some different thermal paste or perhaps contacting lenovo?

I have a 128gb msata ssd where the 24GB was, it was synch to swap it out.
