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.

It's keyboard comfy and noisy or not bro? hmm.gif

I have used 2.5" 7200rpm HDD.
The performance is no where near the SSD.
For notebook, upgrading to SSD will give you excellent performance gain.
I can't resist to SSD now.

I even upgraded to SSD for my netbook.

With SSD, your notebook is no longer notebook. It's running like high performance desktop.
With SSD, your netbook is no longer netbook. It's running like notebook.

Bro, any changes in the power consumption after changed to SSD? Should be better in theory right? hmm.gif

I just booked the Y460 and paid the deposit for the RM 5599 version. I was planning to get the SXPS 16 with ATI 5730 but I don't want to play the waiting game forever. Y460 is the only laptop readily available locally with ATI 5650. Other laptops like ASUS or 4820tg Acer are either out of stock or only have the ATI 5450 option.

I tried to find reviews of this laptop online but so far I can only find news listing about Y460. Thus I relied mostly on this forum thread to know more about this laptop. From what I gather, Y460 runs hot but if I use a laptop cooler, it should be fine. Will there be throttling issues like the SXPS when the cpu goes above 80C?

Lastly, I heard that dx11 games run faster than dx10. However a lot of times, I heard low to mid end cards like 5450 and 5650 are unable to use dx11 though on paper they can. I'm confused by these two seemingly contradictory statements. Could an expert enlighten me please? Thanks.

Wow, at RM5599, it's the most expensive Y460 thus far....mind to share what's the spec? hmm.gif
