About the same scores as my Sony(BIOS MOD).

But yours can be OC more.

Use MSI Afterburner and increase the core clock to get the same scores as upmost systems.

Just bought it yesterday with Windows 7 Home Premium licence and they free me 2GB RAM upgrade(although I have 4GB extra RAM and just change to 8GB RAM myself), bought at RM2779(I'm back to my hometown bought and they sell Windows licence price a bit higher, RM280. Luckily they got free 2GB RAM if not I'll nego...lol)
I can say it's very powerful laptop and battery life is very impressive.
The Windows Index Score:
Processor: 7.5(without startup software it can be 7.6)
RAM: 7.6
Graphic: 7.2
Gaming Graphic: 7.2
HDD: 5.9
And this laptop also can maintain in low temp(At least my laptop is lower temp than my friend's Asus N56)
BTW any Beta Driver already release for GT650M?


Added on July 30, 2012, 5:53 pmBut actually now I'm wasting my default 4GB 1600MHz RAM coz just now I only realized it come with 4GB 1600MHz RAM, and I installed 4GB 1333MHz RAM, so now it running 8GB with 1333MHz only...==

Near to gaming laptop already
Battlefield 3 running smooth enough(Full screen, vertical sync on, graphic auto coz just now I lazy to set)
World of Tank in very high graphic setting still can perform 20-40fps, but I recommend to set to high graphic setting(rise to 30-50fps)

BTW now I installed the 304.79 Beta Driver, although performance for game increase, but why Windows Index Score for Gaming Graphic decrease to 6.7?

But I think is NVIDIA rescale the score, just now also install on Inspiron 15R(GT525M), and that laptop Gaming graphic score drop to 6.4...
I think I might be no move back since gaming fps rices many
(in World of Tank graphic high setting it can be 30-60fps, in very high it can also 20-60fps)

Any local y480 will get 2 years warranty. Unless stated from shop. If u got only 1 year warranty, that means ur item is not from local.
Check warranty status on 1st page.. Ignore the laptop box information mate.

as long you have receipt ,ur warranty is valid even the page not update

dead meat : open your case you'll see a dark film,remove that
cuz u already have a metal casing y need that black piece of film to block the heat from disolve
get a cooler

witch 2 also can play

now hd temp 45-49 idle
when work is 53
gaming is 60
