AFAIK, the Y570's GPU is now "supported" by recent official Nvidia
drivers for both Windows and Linux. That wasn't the case when it when it
first came out.

Any machine that is supported by nVidia driver is supported normally.
The problem is to know which ones they are, and effectively, we've seen
some problems with Lenovo ones.

I was particularly hoping to pick up on a decent boxing day sale
today. Are there any particular laptops you might recommend that
support Bumblebee and Optimus? I had particularly liked this machine
for its features and price.
Is there any sort of list available of machines that fully support it?
Thanks,
Simon

Does not work at all with nvidia chip. I have a ideapad y470 but
reportedly it does not work even with nouveau drivers with
Bumblebee. Since nouveau doesn't even work on a Y470, Lenovo must
be doing some really weird stuff internally. Avoid like the plague.
I have not seen anyone have success yet with an ideapad and post
about it on the web somewhere. I would be SOOO happy to be proven
wrong about this however. :)

Hello everyone, I was looking at purchasing a Lenovo Ideapad
Y570. It appears to have Optimus, with the NVIDIA GeForce GT
555M 1GB.
My friend has the same card, but on a Dell XPS 17. I wanted
to confirm this would work on this Lenovo Model, before
purchasing it and attempting to run GNU/Linux with the
Optimus technology. Has anyone been able to confirm such
findings?
