Teach?? We can share our experience if you like to . Hmmm, if possible you can do your own observation of your laptop's temperature to see how efficient your temp would go. Mine at home, non air cond room, CPU min 39-41C, load 49-51C, max 66-68C(gaming). Monitor your temp does help you know that your laptop is working happily or sad/anger(heavy load lol...)

I do found out an answer(I guess...) why some people complaint about heat especially during gaming if you're in for hours. I've played AC 2 just now for 2 hours+ with max temp I checked it's just 72C on GPU-Z(ave. 68C). The problem lies on the material of the glossy surface which do hold the heat w/o spreading fast enough thru the other parts like heatsink and causes you felt uncomfortable using the keyboard for longer period especially FPS gaming. I do amaze the max temperature it hit . Thanks to bro gstoh regarding tips on switching to super saver mode before you game and you'll see/feel the difference.

No doubt Y460 still reign the best bang for the buck in 3k-4k range for these 2 months. If you can wait for others, it's fine, but how long would it be? I've been waiting to replace my old laptop since late March and I still think Vostro 3700 is an unbeatable laptop in terms of price/performance, too bad my order got postponed and I had to cancel it. It's good to know some specs do excel against Y460, but NONE of them officially make/selling it in M'sia atm.

Technology will grow daily and you can't wait forever to get your decent laptop. Just pick what's available in the market, if no, go for desktop then lol.

what lead to a good buy for you? and which other model you are comparing with?

for me its a good buy for my budget

For the rm3599 version, the processor is very good already, especially for gaming, and when you are using applications that don't utilize quad core. I think for lappie below rm5k that's shud be the best dual core procsessor (might be wrong)

the GC is good too, but don't expect to play all games in max setting la

battery life I don't knw, haven't try yet

all in all, it's a darn good laptop for it price, other 14" competitor are the Sony CW and EA16, asus n82jv. Specs is almost the same, but more pricey, pay for brand name lo.

Reliability I don't knw yet, still too soon to say.

Those I mentioned are 14" la, if u want/don't mind bigger screen, then u got more option

Why don't you get from our forum member?
Go search for the seller in garage sale (ahem, he's from T**ping). He quoted me RM3500 for Y460 + RM30 hassle-free postage to your door step.

Try change the AF setting to none and see how it performs. Try use High Performance mode and see how it goes too. As for GPU-Z, even the latest version isn't able to accurately detect most mobile graphic's spec.

What kinda sound you're mentioning? HDD? Fan?
Btw, I've confirmed you can OC HD 5650 to 5730 w/ the same heat produce(idle/load) so it's safe 

For MW2 you can use gstoh's trick to underclock the CPU while retaining the GPU performance w/o making your system heat up much. For my test, it mainly @70-72C.

Try HWmonitor to check the temp...

HWMonitor Pro need to pay..HWMonitor no need to pay, its FREE ...

y460 user.. try to force the cpu to run at low freq , 1.3GHz .. and run some game test.. you will see the temperature is same as normal laptop =D
this is what i found, however the game FPS will not really drop,
test it then you will know it! XD

through this setting, you don need worry about heat issue when gaming lol

What only two weeks? I have been using it for years
