then i guess it's worth to put SATA II SSD to the slot. at least cheaper than sata III ssd like crucial v4.
i think 400+ for 256gb?

Phew...
I though is the same notebook.

Planning to get Y580 tmrw.Should i buy the windows 8 SL version or buy windows 7 and then upgrade to windows 8 pro?

I suggest you get win7 hb version and upgrade to win8 pro.
The preinstalled win8 in y580 is only win8 without pro.

what's ur budget? if don't have enough budget, just get the 128GB. people are now on SATA3 and yet you still wanna stick with SATA2. better utilize the SATA3. do you need to install so many things on your ssd? just put OS and apps in your ssd, data keep on the hdd. all downloaded stuff put into hdd. i think intel 180gb can get around rm410.

Agree, get the Win 7 version and upgrade to Win 8 Pro. plus if you having problem with Win 8, you can revert back to Win 7 and might use the Win 8 later in the future.

then i shud get windows 7 i guess...
whats the diff between windows 8 SL and windows 8 pro?

Can see the difference on the link below, not much of an extra between the SL and Pro if you don't really need all the features...

Hi.. just wondering if Y480 can run games like hitman absolution in ultra high quality ?

As my Y480 can run well in black ops 2 at all maximum graphic setting+4xTXAA+medium shadow+1366x768
and Need for speed most wanted 2012 with all maximum graphic setting+1366x768, I'm sure hitman absolution can run well since it does no eat too much gpu resource

hi. is it advisable to upgrade it to 8gb ram other than the regular 4gb ?

Upgrade to 8gb ram is enough.

3 questions:

1) is your 4gb ram now sufficient for your usage? if your are not heavily multitasking, then 4gb should be enuf. I have 8gb on my y480, but normally the RAM usage is not more than 30%.

2) do you have extra cash and don't mind spending another rm80-90? if yes, then get 8gb la, since ram is so cheap now. or else, just use 4gb until you feel the need to upgrade.

3) have u considered SSD? it will speed up your com better than extra ram.

I'm playing iTunes, surfing net now and McAfee security on, rainmeter on.

Only use 34% RAM. I'm 8GB

seldom exceed 50% so 4 GB is good enough but 8 GB is recommended.

All gaming sifus.

I'm planning to get a cooling fan for my laptop.

I know. it looks silly and stupid. I got a Razer gaming keyboard and SteelSeries Sensei Raw mouse mainly for FPS gaming and using current mouse and laptop's keyboard is difficult.

Any idea of cooling fans for Y580 to recommend? Thanks.

I am playing COD:BO2 and AC3 at the moment, and those game are alot smoother than before (306.97) in near max setting
