the orangish/yellow light is standby mode

Oh, okay cool, so nothing to worry about then I suppose. How do I enable/disable that feature and do you have any idea how I would have inadvertently done that?

I was moving my PS4 from laying horizontal to laying vertical , and when I did, I accidentally ejected my BF4 disc (which obviously powers on the system). This alarmed me, so I tried to keep my PS4 level while I took out the disc and turned off the system, but then a yellow light came on...what is that supposed to indicate? Not gonna lie, it scared the shit out of me, but once I restarted the console BF4 seems to run fine. I'm just wondering what the yellow light indicates and why that would have happened.

yeah, nothing wrong with the 2.4ghz i7, thats a nice laptop CPU found right across the board. Haswell will make a bigger impact in battery life, not really taht big a deal in performance IMO

Yeah, I mean, I'd like a better battery-life for this thing, but I'm not sure how much of a difference I can realisitically expect.

I'm more concerned about the boost in performance (with Haswell) when running applications or games because I don't plan to buy another laptop for at least 3-4 years, maybe more: so without spending a ridiculous amount of cash, I'd like the best components I could get.

So there wouldn't be a significant performance boost had I waited for Haswell? I'm also talking a possibly-improved battery life (which is quite bad on that laptop).

Hey guys, I bought a Lenovo Y500 notebook about two weeks ago (particularly this model):

http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:item.detail?GroupID=457&Code=59371963&category_id=5B0116E237099FA0FCA012D9B20ED2FB

 

but now that I hear about the Haswell CPUs on the horizon, I am very concerned I bought this model too early as it still has a 3rd gen Ivy Bridge CPU in it. Did I make a mistake buying this so soon and should have I waited? Because I'm honestly kind of kicking myself for it now that I listened to last week's This is Only A Test.

 

Thanks.
