QUOTE(chiahau @ Apr 14 2012, 04:45 PM) Depends. Can't answer you yet on that Okay. Any other laptops then? Unless you are looking at Acer M3, none of the currently ultrabook carry enough power to play such game. 640m Fermi architecture.  |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Apr 29 2012, 02:33 PM) Thanks for sharing bro!! How long would it take for Lenovo to ship the Y480 with Nvidia 650M? Damn! So the backlit keyboard is really true... I thought it was typo before this haha~~ Well, even if its LE its still a slight improvement over the previous one  Quoted from the link: "The new Intel Core i7 Ivy Bridge processor is a nice improvement, offering around a 20% performance boost of similar previous generation Intel processors. The Nvidia 640M LE graphics card is similar in performance to the AMD 7690M, but once Lenovo starts rolling about more configurations of the Y480 there should be more powerful options available, such as the Nvidia 650M. Even with all that power packed into a small 14” chassis the heat and noise were a non-issue, Lenovo engineers should be commended for developing a cooling system that works well." |

Is there really a big difference between 650M and 640M?

QUOTE(ChipZ @ Apr 30 2012, 01:01 PM) Hi, I'm looking for a new laptop. Can anyone recommend me? I'm not sure how much a Macbook Pro is..1. Preferred Brand - Any brand is okay 2. Budget - Below RM4k 3. Usage - More towards multimedia like song recording, image and video editing, audio encoding. Not much of a gamer. 4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14 - 15" 5. Additional remarks - Would prefer something that is durable, going to last at least 3-4 years. Prefer low power consumption and no heat issue. Thanks But if it is under your budget, you should consider it. |

If not in a rush, wait for the Ivy Bridge!
Maybe more laptops will show up early June.  |

Wow, for that laptop RM3,999 is a steal!
The Clevo W150ER Core i7-3610qm GT 650M That is already priced at $1,300 AUD which is about RM4,060. GTX660M > GT650M yes? |

Lurking around notebookcheck.net and all I hear is i7-3610qm..
No announcements for laptops with i5-3320M yet right? I think for a normal user, diablo 3/guild wars 2 and normal online/movies usage.. i5 is more than enough yeah? |

I'm looking for the same type of laptop as you, but I'll be waiting for the Ivy Bridge laptops to come out. |

QUOTE(Hairy Potty @ May 7 2012, 03:07 PM) 1. Preferred Brand Not sure the market price for this in Malaysia. But it fits your requirements.None 2. Budget 6k 3. Usage Gaming and designing 4. Preferred laptop/screen size 17" I've been looking around and some caught my attention (overall of spec+design+price): ASUS G74SX and MSI GT70/GT60 (is the extra 2" worth the price?). Alienware has cool design+build, but spec+price point is not competitive. I've also heard about Sager and its customizability + bang-for-buck value. Thoughts? http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Asus-G...ok.73636.0.html |
