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 : - http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2471560&hl= |

Actually GT650M(GDDR5) is very near to GTX660M la, maybe 5fps different between these two GPUIf I were you, I go for the Y580, once you get a hang on the FHD you will get addicted.

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 : - http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2471560&hl= 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 |

For all this while it stays disable. 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 housemateLaptop model is Y480 the latest one. Reinstall as in new version or use the provided driver? 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..
