QUOTE(wanttobuylaptop @ Dec 23 2012, 06:10 PM) safe to say under 2.5k lenovo ideapad y480 is the best spec laptop? gonna change laptop next year. will it hit over 80c often in haevy gaming? At this moment yes... however, by next year it will probably be the new Lenovo Ideapad Y400 (which has already been released) already   The Y480 would probably be EOL-ed by then  Nope, temps were reported to be steady at around 60C or so, provided with regular maintenance and care  |

It's an excellent machine, and it does look good, but the display is a letdown. But if you use it as a desktop replacement and hook it up to an external monitor it should do just fine. Temp will definitely reach 100 at load but that's normal. |

Seriously though, never see 100C in my Y580  But yes, it could get a bit warm without proper external cooling solution. |

QUOTE(wanttobuylaptop @ Dec 24 2012, 04:37 AM) gtx660m and gt650m performance varies by very far? thinking between y580 and y480... Not so much, the GT650M in Y480 can reach GTX660M level when u start to overclock it. Only clock speed varies the two.In other hand, Y580 have better cooling because of its size and also it come with FHD screen (RM3k model). Cons, heavier and HDD is hotter than normal unless you move it to ODD bay. |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Dec 23 2012, 12:14 AM) Added on December 23, 2012, 12:26 amDell pricelist updated~ But seems like online price quotes will no longer be available for Dell business models... we might just remove them from the price catalog altogether. Your loss Dell Added on December 23, 2012, 12:35 am Don't even has list price for these model online  Apparently, you can still ask for price list if you contact its "business department" through phone, and then they will email it to you (what kind of crap is this?)Don't even has a chat button on business laptop webpage  The best part is they give you 2 options whenever you click on a model: a. Contact distributors - But only listed 3 distributors, with only physical address, no email, no phone number The girl from business department however said there are a lot more distributors (but not listed on webpage), and Dell will assign them to clients based on location ???)b. Fill up a form, then wait for Dell to call you. Just don't understand. From click, click, click, buy, (total interactive), to waiting like a ignorant duck.  Major disappointment  Maybe Lenovo is really getting to their nerve TJ, unless sifus here has the "list" from Dell or its distributors, I think there is nothing much you can do This post has been edited by nexus2238: Dec 24 2012, 01:34 PM |

Major disappointment Maybe Lenovo is really getting to their nerve TJ, unless sifus here has the "list" from Dell or its distributors, I think there is nothing much you can do Seems like they don't want to sell these notebooks to normal consumers Perhaps by doing that it'll be easier to assign and dispatch the technicians (only to those large companies that buy bulk)? It is really a shame, I really really liked the Vostro line notebooks, and I've recommended at least 3 Vostro 3450 to my friends and family hehe Removing all those business models will mean that Dell won't have much options left... |

QUOTE(chiahau @ Dec 25 2012, 12:30 AM) No illegear Actually, 1.7k USD excluding the shipping cost can easily get you a Sager NP9150 with GTX 680M. I rather custom with Xtopic and send it to my bro for warranty since he's at the States. Better specs and value My pal got a 660m and 15"6 HD screen for about 1,7k USD. Pretty damn good bargain for me. Factoring in the shipping charges which is about USD 250 to 400 (using UPS), I think the laptop would cost a lot. If anything happens (whether it is a motherboard issue or an LCD issue), you still need to send it back to U.S. from Malaysia, so the both way shipping charges is gonna be real expensive (just like the shipping charges when you receive your new laptop). Well, we never know whether we get lemon, mate. |
