Yea its definitely out in the market, CNY promotion summore

IMO, if you wan the best and awesome quality go for ASUS(expensive). If you wan a good performance but ok ok quality go for Lenovo, Acer or Toshiba (price ok la). DELL and HP sucks !!!Don't even bother bout Sony Vaio, its more on looks than performance

Added on January 14, 2011, 11:59 pmoh yea just to confirm
ATI 6570m or Nvidia GT540m better????

GT540m got benchmark on notebookcheck.net but 6570m don't have. Somehow the 6570m is higher than GT540m

Asus is mostly best based on quality and performance. Price.....expensive la
My friend drop his Asus G71 then go for RMA. The technician offer a CPU upgrade and add 2 years warranty just for RM50.......

hey guys i just got my Lenovo y560p with the 2nd gen i7 for RM3100 ytd. Got the 2nd Last unit. The other wan is the display . This model selling fast btw, they said they just got it the day b4 i bought it and now no more stock. Plus the seller told me in a few weeks time the price might go up to Rm3.8k.

This laptop can play black ops at 1080p smoothly and high settings but the temps go up very fast la

IMO i think this lenovo is better than Acer 5750g even though Acer is cheaper(RM2900) cause Lenovo got bigger HD and nice features

hey i bought mine from digital mall, PJ. The shop is on the ground floor. They sell Asus, Acer and Lenovo laptops. They said there will be a stock coming in tmr so you might want to drop by to buy it. If you want to buy the Lenovo you better buy it quick because their stock can finish in 2 days and thre price will increase in a few weeks time (the seller told me that) because its still a new laptop, ppl dun know how good it is yet. If many people find out, the demand will be high so the price increase. From what i can see, its really selling dam fast...just 2 days and no stock!!!!!! Dun bother bout Acer, it sucks.

The keyboard on the Lenovo laptop is not that bad, can get use to it. This laptop also can lock your screen by sliding ur finger on the navigaion pad. Quite cool features, better than Acer.

As for the temps, im not sure bout the actual temp value but i can tell you this, when in gaming it gets really really hot. I can only feel the heat on the left side of the laptop and not the right side. Somehow the right side is quite cool and the ventilation is on the left side.

The battery is 6 cell so it is not really that heavy

the shop name is D-Fusion. I think they also have another shop in Low Yat. I think the battery could last more than 2 hours. Have not try in battery yet, right now is plug with the Ac adapter. Maybe i try tmr at college. 1 think good bout this laptop is that it has a energy management. The touch button for this app is located on the top of the laptop. It enables you to change the laptop to Energy Star mode, High Performance, Balanced, Power Saver and Super Power Saver.

Yea sure.

Specs:
i7 2630QM
ATi HD6570
4GB RAM DDR3
HD 750GB 5400 rpm
resolution 1366x768

Well at 1st look the design of the laptop is not to bad. The keyboard is okay but 1 thing i dun like is the Fn is located on the bottom left of the keyboard. Usually is suppose to be Ctrl at the bottom left...somehow its Fn, can be quite annoying sometimes.

The touchpad is nice. Its big and the left and right button feels like a mouse button when i click it.

On the left side is there is the on off button, and the recovery button. The recovery button is really small. You have to be carefull not to press it. But somehow if you press it, it needs o confirm twice b4 u use the windows recovery

On the right side is the volume control and mute. For windows media player, if you press the mute button, it will pause the song,video etc

On the top there is a hidden line where you can slide your finger to navigate. Its quite cool. You can add shortcut to the app and use ur finger to navigate by sliding. You can also lock the screen by sliding left to right. Sliding Right to left enables you to change the desktop background.

This laptop has a ethernet pot, 3 USB 2.0, USB 2.0 combo with Esata, VGA port, HDMI port, DVDRW drive, audio and headphone port. The ventilation is located at the left side.

This laptop comes with a JBL speaker (never heard of it). Its just like other laptop speaker. Not that bad but i cant really hear the bass. I dun think there is a subwoofer.

Also got webcam, 1.3MP. Theres a app that comes with this laptop for the webcam. Quite fun to use it. Can add some stuff on your face that move around with your fac..lol

This laptop also comes with a bluetooth and wireless, might want to turn them off when not using.


When gaming, the heat can go up to 80+ celcius. So you might wan to play in an aircon room equip with a notebook fan.
1 thing i like bout the CPU is that it has 8 CORES. 2nd gen i7 with sandy bridge....what do you expect, lol.
The GPU is ok la. Play MOH, Black OPS can run smoothly. But play Lost Planet 2 the FPS is 15 and below on High setting DX11.


Overall the laptop is really good. Looking at the 2nd generation i7 with sandy bridge for only RM3100......really worth it. Compare to other brand with same price, they do not have the Sandy Bridge yet. So getting this is worth it.

The downside is the Fn key for me and the Temp. Need to keep a constant look on the temp when playing in high graphics gaming. As for the battery life.....have not try it yet, maybe sooon.

thanks

No problem. I always love to help ppl
