waaa building a new rig eh

Choosing notebook always a headache

agree... bt nw really think gona go S42.. unless i change my mind to the Vostro 3700

The what will happen your current rig?17.3" is a like a dekstop replacement

yeap the 17' is bloody huge .. bt the spec ==' tension oni .. haha
the budget rig is for the office... i maintain my trusty p4 ^^

budget really better go AMD...

which one better? Lenovo Y460 or ASUS N82? taking price into consideration, since the lenovo is running on 5650... which should be better than the 9600, but the wondering what's its compared to the G335...

HD5650 better

yup, HD5650 is better...

iirc it scores 7k easily... whilt GT 335M is still in the 6k region...

but the 335 was using a SU proc, and the 5650 has a i7...
hm, so right now the lenovo Y460 is more powerful than the S42, and around 3k-ish region.... same like when i bought the S42, might consider changing now....

medium details, 1xAA, 1xAF, HBOA out

i5 430M seems like not enough for HD5650...

look at Studio 15

Added on March 22, 2010, 6:40 amhm.. the lenovo has a i5 520, so its higher clocked, wonder if it can surpass the N82JV

No, Y460 has i5 430M, the same with Sony Vaio EB up there...
and N82Jv the one with i5 520M...

now that's wat i call a 1" killer for N82Jv... i7-620M...

Well, that one would be a definite affector for Y460...if got i5 520M sure can gain same result as N82 or maybe better as HD5650 is a bit better than GT335M ...

Got someone say got i5 540M for Y460, just not yet released...

Just a question, i7 620M quad core or dual core?? ..because the one below which is for Dell Studio XPS 16 is i7 720QM, which i think Q is for Quad ...

i7-620M is dual core

Well, my friend also said the same...he said that Y460 gonna refresh in some time soon...maybe the one with i5 540M

Though Y460's cooling seems not up to the task for long time stress...
The heatpipe being shared for CPU and GPU...
Got one review with i5 430M, running stress for straight 12 hours, the CPU reach more than 100C
