QUOTE(shreaker @ Nov 25 2009, 02:34 PM) From what I've read: - the Intel/Nvidia version is better for long battery life (up to 10 hours vs up to 6 hours). - the AMD/ATI version is a little better for performance (some reviewers complained about the ULV C2D performance... but I haven't got any 1st hand experience. Truth is, I would have bought the Intel version - that battery life is mouth watering! BUT it was not available at that time... oh well. How much did it cost u? Wanna trade one unit of your C2D with mine? When did you bought yours? Trade? hahaha me no fan of amd ... intel kaki hahaha home desktop is c2d, and office desktop is c2q ...

Chlorophiliac Senior Member 4,587 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Golden Meadow	QUOTE(shreaker @ Nov 28 2009, 10:52 PM) 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. yeah should be lighter then as the batt does make a big bulk of the weight ... QUOTE(lee_what2004 @ Nov 28 2009, 11:01 PM) 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. 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 ... CODE 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. 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 ...

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 ... » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by earl-ku: Nov 29 2009, 02:48 AM

Added on December 4, 2009, 4:36 ami have also found out that the current 500gb 7.2k hdd is actually a Seagate Momentus ... from the part number ... fair review and is the same hdd on the macbook pro ... Been informed that currently there is only the 5.4k model in the market not the 7.2k ones ... http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/...omentus_7200.4/ http://www.google.com.my/search?rlz=1C1GGL...8&q=ST9500420AS This would be the interesting fact from Seagate ... Seagate® Momentus® hard drives provide the optimum combination of performance, capacity and mobility in a 2.5-inch form factor.
