Hi sifus here,

I'm planning to get either Y480 or Y580 + make it 8GB ram + swap the HDD for SSD

which would you guys suggest?

Is it more worth it to go Y580 than Y480? (differences i could see are 15.6" FHD vs 14" HD, GTX660 vs GT650 and keyboard)

Which SSD to go for, cheap and good performing?

I'm planning to get from this seller : -

Wow, that's some awesome package they have. drool.gif

If I were you, I go for the Y580, once you get a hang on the FHD you will get addicted. And not to forget the Nvidia 660M if you like gaming. rclxm9.gif

Actually GT650M(GDDR5) is very near to GTX660M la, maybe 5fps different between these two GPU

depends on whether you want a larger screen or not... want a lighter laptop to carry around tongue.gif
as for gfx comparison, actually gtx660m and gt650m are not that much different... besides, not many current games can play at ultra setting smoothly on gtx660m

about ssd, it should be either m4 or intel 330... eventhough intel 330 use sandforce controller, it should be ok as intel ssd firmware is great

Im currently experiencing super slow wifi. My connection is stable but Ive compared with my housemate laptop which is Acer. It seems that he can buffer a lot faster than me when it comes to youtube. doh.gif His room is upstairs and mine is closer to the wifi router. How is this possible? Thanks. icon_question.gif

are you hosting a wireless access point or something? if not, then i think you can disable the virtual wifi as it splits the bandwith

probably you can uninstall & then reinstall like what sss2sssss said... after that run speed test to check the speed.... comparing on youtube buffering probably valid if you playing the same video with same quality as your housemate
if still got problem, run antivirus, antispyware to check if somehow your system is affected

@jaQ-Ass, try set your wifi to 5GHz if your router support it and change the channel to 6 or 11..
