After checking out Acer m3, looks very promising.
Fits all the requirements demanded by my gf. haha Yeah, I stumbled across LBO website, but after reading about acer m3. I think I'll opt out Clevo (warranty is another reason). Besides that, her budget is $1,000 max. |

QUOTE(lee_what2004 @ Apr 15 2012, 05:12 PM) Not as hot as my Asus A42Jv yeah? Reach 98 celsius when playing Mass Effect 3 Vacuumed the fan, have yet to replace thermal paste because I still got 3 month of global warranty left. QUOTE GF says: I don't want a laptop that heats up like yours. Lousy. hahah. Thanks for telling me though lee, will read up more on Ivy Bridge and keep my eye on Clevo and Metabox laptops. And also GT640M and GT650M cards. |

QUOTE(AlexLai @ Apr 19 2012, 07:57 AM) How odd... mine won't reach more than 80C Mm, that's odd.M3's main weakness is the poor position of the power button and build quality. I've seen quite a lot of temperature issues and complains for the A42Jv by other LYN forumers and I am one of them. Did you change the thermal paste or changed any configuration? |

Is there a difference between the GT 640M and the GT 640M LE in the Lenovo Y480?

Lookin at this laptop, thinking whether I should recommend my girlfriend to wait till June when the IB and maybe the GT 650M is out. Will the price of laptops with GT 650M be a lot more expensive compared to laptops with GT 640M? |

But she doesn't plan on changing laptops for a while after this, so I want to buy a laptop that will last for her.GT555m - Y570 » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « GT640M LE - Y480 » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Added on April 30, 2012, 2:12 pm Does your gf need all of that GPU power? GT640M is more than enough for game like Diablo3, Dota 2 if u're playing @1366x768. Wanna ask, what's the diff between GT 650M 1GB GDDR5 memory and 2GB GDDR5 memory ? |

QUOTE(Amal @ Apr 30 2012, 09:21 PM) Oh, that's too bad. It would've been quite a good buy if it is GT 640M. It sucks I'm missing out on the HP Pavillion dv6t Quad Ed.Researching a lot of laptops nowadays. Most laptops around $1,000 has the same old spec. i5-2540M, GT 630M, or add another $100 for i7-3610QM.. LYN Sifus, you reckon I should wait a while more? Will more IB and GT 640M/650M laptops pop out in the market soon? |

QUOTE(AlexLai @ Apr 30 2012, 09:58 PM) Well, as you know, my budget is $1k. If the prices of the refreshed IB goes beyond $1k, no point waiting then right? Even the Acer M3 is about.. $1.3k AUD if I'm not mistaken. Too expensive le |
