cannot fit in bro ... this is like a higher end netbook ... and is in the thin and light series, fitting a dvd rom in will make it thicker and heavier ... defeats the purpose .. and how often do u really use the dvd rom anyway ...

Some of the guys did this benchmark test over the Lenoyo Ideapad Y series thread ... this is Perfomance Test 7

Overall mark is 760.2 and that Lenovo Ideapad Series only scored 633.5

and yeah this is the model i did the benchmark with ... HP Pavilion dm3-1028TX

maybe some of you with the other model try the benchmarking tool Performance Test 7

dm3-1020AX (AMD/ATI version with 2GB RAM and 320GB HDD) is RM2,699 RRP... the 3DMark06 benchie shouldn't be too far off from mine, 2,310 3DMarks. So yup it actually is a fair comparison. However, I think the Lenovo is lighter. Heard it comes with stock 3 or 4 cell battery though.

yes, but his using the intel/nvidia version which is RM3899, not the amd/ati version.
do forgive me if I sounded harsh, I just don't want people who just passing by here misunderstood that the 2.7k version hp dm3 is better than the ideapad y series while the dm3 being tested is 3.9k version and ended up disappointment when they bought it.
since on Perfomance test 7, no spec of which dm3 is being told.

yeah should be lighter then as the batt does make a big bulk of the weight ...

LOL - like i freakin said, i saw that they were using that benchmarking tool, so thats what i compared it with ...

i even posted my result of 3dmark06 at this thread http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1109389 which has the result from the alienware model ... so what, i find whatever tool people are using and if there is a result, thats what i will use, if one is to come in here and make such an assumption like what u mentioned ...than they are just plain dumb ...

btw read what i quoyed u saying again ...

this is plain dumb, if one makes such an assumption that would would mean that person has not read everything nor do they really know what they are actually reading here ...

they should read from the top if they are really reading forums to find out more on this particular line ...


Added on November 29, 2009, 1:33 amand yeah shreaker, why dont change this to a proper dedicated thread for this model ...

this is a new model and pretty high end for a sub laptop / sub netbook ...

hahaha - no point arguing also rite ... most importantly, everyone got to read from first page if they wanna know everything ...

biggrin.gif

to be frank, i have not used the laptop outside my room yet ...

batt removed and using power only ...

i had the test running on real temp the other day, normal idle as low as 32 and up to 55++ on a afternoon ...
user posted image

Separate graph for cpu core 1 and 2 and gpu as well for the idle duration and i ran win experience indexing to stress it ...

and surprisingly it brought it up a little from 4.6 to 4.7 this time around and this is in my room no aircond, just a fan blowing my direction ...

not an issue but using it the afternoon will be warm but with a fan blowing at it or using it an airconditioned room, its not noticeable at all ...

hot spot on top would be the left lower part under the keyboard, maybe thats where the hdd is ...

bottom not sure as i have a cooler blowing underneath ...
