15.6-inch FHD Gaming Notebook

The Lenovo IdeaPad Y500 is a 15.6-inch laptop with a 1920x1080 non-touch display. It runs on an Intel Core i7-3630QM processor and includes an NVIDIA GeForce GT650M discrete graphics card. The system ships with 8GB of DDR3 memory and a 1TB hard drive. Windows 10 Home 64-bit is pre-installed.

Buyers needing SSD speed or modern connectivity

This laptop suits users who want a large 1TB hard drive for media storage and a dedicated GPU for older titles. It is not for buyers who need solid-state storage responsiveness or modern wireless standards. The Bluetooth 4 interface and USB 3.0 ports limit peripheral speed compared to current implementations. The 8GB DDR3 capacity cannot be expanded without checking the manual.

GT650M discrete graphics with 1TB storage

The single specification that defines this model is the NVIDIA GeForce GT650M paired with a 1TB mechanical drive. This combination targets entry-level gaming and multimedia storage in one chassis. The 15.6-inch 1920x1080 panel provides the native resolution for the GPU to drive. No solid-state drive is included or mentioned in the configuration.

Questions about this item

What must I already own to use the Blu-ray RW Ultrabay module that comes with the Y500?

The Ultrabay slot is built into the chassis, so only the module itself is required; no extra caddy or adapter is needed.

Will the GT650M discrete graphics work with the integrated Intel HD graphics already in the i7-3630QM when I keep both active?

The Y500 uses NVIDIA Optimus to switch between the GT650M and the processor's integrated graphics automatically depending on workload.

How can I verify the GT650M is being used for a game after setting up Windows 10?

Open the NVIDIA Control Panel, enable the GPU activity icon in the notification area, then launch the game; the icon will show the GT650M as the active renderer.
