4820TG does have few configurations of spec, only the unlucky part is M'sia won't be having the HD5650 GC and i7-620M. I didn't test the battery life because I mainly use it at home, no point put in battery lol. The main support center is in Subang SS14

Acacia IT Services

I have extended my warranty to 3 years carry-in. For consumer series laptop they don't offer on-site unless you have thinkpad/business class series laptop. The screen is fine on me, nothing to shout about.

I only can say don't give high hopes on upcoming laptops unless they have already launch. I was thinking about getting N82jv too, but because there's no available unit around KL that I can feel and play with, might as well get what is on the market.

My PCH temp for 3 1/2 days . Passive cooling has its own pros and cons. Most of them do able to withstand longer period of high temp but from a lifespan standpoint, it'll shorten for sure.

A form of sarcastic review I would say. The only thing interested me would only be the benchmark. Other than that, it seems like he acts like he knew everything which he screwed up himself in the 1st place on the drivers.

Please read my post on this page and you'll have your answer.

Thanks I've added the link on 1st page.

Added on April 22, 2010, 5:03 pmJust noticed Y460 support page does provide XP drivers, but not all of it especially on Lenovo's own features software like SlideNav, OneKey Theater/Recovery.

I assume you noticed my last screenie does have the same temp as yours. You'll feel a slight warm on upper touchpad area but I'm not bother by it .

You used Lenovo power management to lower/tweak your CPU clock or other software? Don't have free time lately but was planning to go extreme to max out CPU constantly @2.93Ghz w/ OC GPU to crack 3Dmark 06 score(somehow I can't use ATI Tool on my system, it just BSOD after I finished the installation )

It does. Just make sure don't get those cheap dual layer DVDRs since laptop ODD is sensitive.

The answer is no effect for the recovery key and no again for creating a new primary partition because you already have System Reserved, C: and Recovery partition which already fill up the max 3 primary partitions in 1 HDD. The only way would be re-assign the Extended D: Lenovo partition after you shrinked your C:. If you still don't understand... better start to learn more on file system for Vista/7.

I'm sorry if you think I'm giving you a hard time. I'm just a straight forward guy where I'm not used to explain/elaborate why something can't be done. I've did what you wanna do. The other solution would be extend your system reserved partition to act as your data partition like a bro here stated before.

I'm still learning to use it till today bcoz I'm used to my old Dell 15" laptop and the spacing between each key is slightly different from what I've been accommodate for 5+ years. The keyboard doesn't flex though(for me), but it depends on case by case.

If you just said your laptop suddenly can't boot up, I think you can skip the charges

Added on April 24, 2010, 10:11 pmHmmm, since I got keyboard protector, I'll say noise is fine but I won't say it's comfy, just normal...

It's tempting but it doesn't have graphic switching ability ----> heat generates faster

Too bad you can OC your 5650 anytime to 5730 w/o screwing your laptop/GC.

You actually can install XP mode even you're using home basic(found out a while back) but need to do some settings. Try google to get your answer. If not, there are other virtual software like VMware etc. If your XP program does related to server/network operation, it might have it's limit on XP mode. VT is embedded on some processors where it provides the ability to support virtualization.

That applies to Windows Vista only. All Win 7 retail & OEM DVDs will follow their own version's respectively, there's no version selection before installation and after finish installation, it'll straight away ask you to enter product key(even tho you didn't enter the key, you'll still getting the same version that your DVD has, i.e. Windows 7 Home Premium DVD -> Windows 7 Home Premium only.) Other than that, it's not advisable to discuss here.

Already knew that when I search around china forums. Mine doesn't have the SIM slot + I think it's only available to certain region models. Some China guy got his w/ SIM slot, still it won't able to search it's hardware.

Stylish and portability, M11x. Performance horse and budget wise, Y460.

Only Dell provide upgrade options because they'll build your system after you ordered/customized. Other OEMs will get their own OS that come with the box, so limited upgrade options.

You are able to do the upgrade, just not from the OEM factory --> means you have to re-install the OS(recommended) or can try the windows anytime upgrade(not sure if it works).
