Question 1

Is there an optical drive? If so, is it Blu-ray or standard

Accepted Answer

It's optional: it's actually a removable bay... Can be one of the following:

1. 2nd Video Card
2. Optical Drive DVD or Blue-ray
3. 2nd Hard Drive

Question 2

Does this have two GT 755m in it? Or do I have to buy a GT 755m graphics card for this?

Accepted Answer

It has two gt 755's,  and if you want the DVD slot for the Ultrabay ( where you switch out the graphics card and other slots) you'll have to buy it. And remember,  to get the cards to run well keep the laptop plugged in.

Question 3

Is it backlit keybord ?

Accepted Answer

There's three settings to it off, dim, and bright.only thing is I think it only comes in red with is all right with me

Question 4

Is the optical drive a DVD/CD/DVR drive?  I am just not familiar with the term "optical drive."

Accepted Answer

The Optical Drive is a DVD/CD-ROM, you will have to look at the description of the device to see if it is a DVR. They started calling CD ROMs "Optical Drive" a couple years ago. Hope this helps.

Question 5

the 15.6inch display screen is Anti-Glare or is it Glossy?

Accepted Answer

The screen is not glossy which makes it nice for if there is glare, but if you are out in the sun it may still be slightly difficult to see.

Question 6

Can you confirm whether the dual video cards work together in SLI mode even when the laptop is operating only battery? Or must the laptop be plugged into a power outlet for it to run in SLI mode?

Accepted Answer

Hello, I can say from experience this computer is unfortunately almost unusable for Gpu intensive instances on battery, due to it having roughly half the output of the powerbrick. That being said it is a wonderful unit. When plugged in it runs nice and cool even during some pretty graphic intensive games.

Question 7

Does this computer have 2 graphics cards?

Accepted Answer

Yes. No cd/DVD drive. I haven't encountered anything yet that utilizes both graphics cards though... But then again I haven't played any games on it yet.

Question 8

Does this configuration contain a blu ray?

Accepted Answer

No it does not. The only way that there would be a bluray burner is  if you buy an additional ultrabay drive, but that would replace the extra GT 755M (one of the two SLI cards) that is currently situated in the ultrabay.

Question 9

I understand it has a Hybrid disk. Could you please clarify how much memory is SSHD and how much is left to the HDD? Thank you

Accepted Answer

I ordered the one with 8gb of ram and 1tb harddrive. IT says it comes with an 8gb sshd, but it's actually a normal 1tb hdd with a 24gb ssd. I really like the laptop and I hope you do to.

Question 10

Out of curiosity.  Has anyone played Titanfall on this?  How does it run on maxed graphics?

Accepted Answer

I haven’t personally played it on my y510p yet, but my friend plays it on his Y510p and he has everything set to high and it runs pretty decent. I would think it would run it on ultra no problem with a few tweaked settings such as shadows and lighting. I am able to run BF4 max and get 40-70 frames in full 64 player server battles, and titanfall isn’t really all that graphic demanding. Just make sure to set up the SLI correctly if you get it to avoid any micro stuttering that could occur when it dips under 30 frames. If you have any more questions feel free to ask!
