My suggestion is do not buy a lenovo ideapad yet. https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/53
https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/149 https://github.com/MrMEEE/ironhide/issues/100 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. :) http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Linux-Discussion/Optimus-in-Linux-Ideapad-Y570/td-p/490107 http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Linux-Discussion/Y570-There-are-no-drivers-for-GF-555-M-graphic-card/td-p/615631 http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Linux-Discussion/Nvidia-driver-for-Y570/td-p/467713 https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee/issues/366 Hope that helps.
