hey fren, your N55 is also a very nice machine. I'd say, unless your n55 now is too slow or can't serve your pruposes, or else, just use until it has reached its full potential. there is no end in chasing newer models - they just keep coming every year... i'd bet in 2013, the market will be flooded with lappies with specs better than y480/580 at even lower prices...

Hi thanks for the suggestion. My N55 really is nice until today, but the thing is, my laptop is for gaming purpose, i can set to highest setting in games but not Ultra.. GTA IV is the game that i played the most, due to ENB mods which make my gta iv more realistic, sometime i lagg..

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....  biggrin.gif

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.    rolleyes.gif
