lol look who's selling it.

between the ASUS N56vz and the LENOVO Y480, which got better heating solution?

i read all the post but i cant get to the conclusion...

For info, official set of Y580 from Lenovo Malaysia will only be available sometime in July. Y580 currently selling in market is a imported version. The official set come with Blue ray & 2 yrs warrantly where imported set come with DVD & 1 yr warrantly.

Y480, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650M (GDDR5) @RM2499[JBL], 4GB, 500GB, DOS
N56Vz, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT650M(GDDR3)@RM2699[Bang&Olufsen], 4GB, 750GB, W7HP, subwoofer
Y480 vs N56vz
2499 < 2699
i7 > i5
GT650M(GDDR5) > GT650M(GDDR3)
500GB < 750GB
DOS < W7HP
14" vs 15"
Y480 is RM200 cheaper come with faster core i7 & GT650M(GDDR5) less trade off 250GB, W7HP, subwoofer. N56 is more attractive/better design but questionable warranty service imo.

Y480 is best bang of the buck for gamer in price/performance with better mobility in 14".
N56vz is more attractive & better design . If this is the only computer you have and u cant leave without it, try look for other as u may headache with their warranty service.

Y480 vs N56vz interior thermal design. Who is the winner???

Asus one is GDDR3?

Yes.

N56vz definitely seems to hav better thermal design...y480 looks a bit "cheap"...lenovo pricing for their y480 and y580 is so aggressive which makes me question about the overall quality of the product...i would choose asus bcoz of the better design imho...

Y480 use a full copper heat sink and shorter heat pipe seems to be more effective in CPU & GPU cooling Its HDD temperature may relatively high as its baked by CPU & GPU.
Y480 spec with a faster core i7 & GT650M(GDDR5) in a smaller chassis 14" will generate more heat compare to N56vz.
Nice pricing for Y480 & Y580 will make other notebook seems overprice.
Post #1 updated with Y480 interior layout & link.



Looking forward for end user of N56vz & Y480 to post their Furmark temperature reading for comparision.

I bought the Y480 with GT650, the spec really worth the price (RM 23XX)



The graphic card is GDDR 5, while ASUS N56VZ is GDDR3


The HDD temperature almost same as Y580, really abang adik

dude! you can OC it to be same like GTX660M without any problem. But risk on your own.

May be 10%? 5%?

Congratz to u in getting a Killer model Y480 with killer specs & price. Its really too good to be true.
Thank u so much for posting the test results, as many potential buyers are quite concern about the temp. reading.

Nice CPU temp below 90c after 4 min of Full stress, tho' the temp. is still increasing & not yet stable. Ya, HDD temp is relative high like his brother Y580, but it can be easily take care by adding a suitable cooler . Unfortunately, no GPUz to determine its temp. & any throttling.
Wonder how Y480 fare against his abang Y580's temperature reading in Full stress test as quoted below.


Y480 with GT650M(GDDR5) has a very high potential to OC like GTX660M(GDDR5) , providing its temp. is under control & gpu not throttles by Lenovo. Cautious, do it at ur own risk.
By the way, ur Y580's GTX660M throttles by Lenovo when it hit 78c during OC. Haishhh...very disappointed, no luck to step it up.

Woww.. congrats. I think you bought the freedos version right? Can I ask if you faced any problems during windows clean install (buttons don't work, one key etc)? Currently wondering whether to fly down to KL and get one or not..
Any experience with the Y480 msata ssd?
Thanks!

Yep apparently the GT650 version have freedos version only, I don't have any problem installing Windows using bootable thumbdrive.

I don't have experience in mSata SSD, but if you know mandarin you can refer this thread which teach how to replace existing HDD with SSD.
