hmm, in that case, y580 would be a good candidate for you - this is probably the cheapest lappy with i7 3rd gen. at 15.6" FHD. but compared with your n55, y580's screen is glossy, not matte - i prefer matte. though i bought y480, i was seriously considering N56VZ if not for the price and also the size (a bit bulky at 15.6")...

now a new (lower) specs for y580 came out with price at almost 2900 - wow it is hard not to be attracted....

@dirsly ermm... sorry kinda late reply...btw what do you mean by "no need invoice. serial no will do"???shall i just email the serial num???

hehe, ya, the design is so so only, but quite solid, with good specs, and the speakers is very good above this price point, anyway, how's your n55's sound with the B&O?

the new price by this seller is even lower now rm2848:

The new variant of Y580, just wonder is HD or Full HD hmm.gif
Y580, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GTX660M (GDDR5) + @2999[JBL], 4GB(1600mhz), 500GB(5400rpm), W7HBasic, backlit keyboard, 2 yrs warranty. free P950 headset

Pls get the free Lenovo P950 headset for Raya promotion.
Soon Y480 i7-3610QM will upgrade to i7-3630QM.

Wow.. y580 got i5 with FHD? if so, around how much?

no i meant Y580 is 15.6", it is still an i7 machine...

the new price of 2848 stated by that seller is for FHD! really... but of course they cut some corners like no blue ray but dvd, hdd not 1TB but 500 GB, etc., to bring the $ down. Compared with Asus N56VZ (i5 version), this one is hard to beat! Somemore got free Lenovo headset if you hurry......

anyway, if you buy this, report your experience to us here... thanks....

N56VZ i use before, its my sis's, quiet same as my N55 but slightly powerful than N55. The graphic is GT650M meanwhile mine is GT635M, difference FPS is about 10fps..and her N56VZ is i7 and mine is i5 only.. Y580 with i5 is still GTX 660m right? GTX yo.....

oh, your sis n56 i7 must cost arounf 3500 right? it's a beautiful one.

i bought y480 with GT650M, this y580 (i7) is with GTX660M. I don't know of y480 and y580 with i5 - that might be sold in China, but not heard of in malaysia.

Yes, if im not mistaken its around rm3600 with some ram upgrades, we buy lappy at the same day.. her budger is 4k meanwhile mine is only 2.5k.. have to borrow her money also to buy N55SL. but computer shops can import it right? i really would like to know how much does y580 FHD with i5 cost.

looks like Lenovo Malaysia's strategy so far is not to bring in any Y580 i5. Look at their pricing:

Y480, i7 HD - rm2500
Y580, i7 FHD - rm2900 (reduced specs)
Y580, i7 HD - rm3400
Y580, i7 FHD - rm3600

they have covered very well the range from 2500 to 3400. if they bring in y580 with i5, where should they place it? so i think they might not bring in. if you want to import, might as well just take any of the above without any trouble. but who knows they might after this round of heat wave created by the y480 & y580 combo?

of course I'm not insider, just my speculation.

Ya, Lenovo Y series well covered the range from 2500-3600 as belows:
Y480 freeDOS -rm2500
Y480 W7HB - rm2700
Y580 FHD reduced specs - rm3000
Y580 FHD full specs - 3600
Y580 HD - rm3400 phase out & replaced by FHD model

FHD mean u can play games at 1920x1080 setting ? smooth?

check it by calling the cstmer service 1st. i done mine online. stated 2 years. just fill in the serial number only.

reducted spec? such as? but it's still GTX 660m right?

Can u give us the link?

haha u r more accurate. but come to think of it, it might be possible for them to bring y480 with i5 and market it at <2000, with cheaper components, but it depends on their current performance of those lower series, if they perform well, why hurt your own sales? also, if lenovo malaysia intends to image the y series as their top consumer line, then they may not even sell any model below 2k, i think.
