what's the hdd speed?

of course 5.4k if want faster get ssd lol

just my opinion, if want to saves up few bucks, just get the DDR1333mhz, no need 1600mhz, trust me the performance gains only around 1% in real life.

I think is no lo, 1333MHz delay 5-10 seconds(or even more) on boot time and u can survive on 4GB 1600MHz, 4GB 1333MHz will make u crazy....

but i thought 1600mhz ram and 1333 mhz ram have compatibility issues?some ppl didnt notice bout the ram and bout 4gb 1333mhz ram+the ori 4gb 1600mhz ram, it screwed up the comp so badly and made it slow...

Unless you meant get 8gb of 1333mhz ram.

i do not know about the compability for this laptop as currently i do not have it yet but if 1333mhz and 1600, the system will downclock the 1600 to 1333 to match the lower one. if we put different brand with the original one that comes with the laptop but also 1600, i think it might also have compability issue as the ram timing might be not same with the original one.

actually no matter you use 1600 or 1333 still will not feel much on normal usage it only affect when u do the marking or heavy usage on the program only u will notice the speed

I have a 1600 + 1333 RAM. Don't feel any different. 3Dmark11 score of 2700+ and gaming is so sweet. All games run smooth on Ultra or High spec in native res.
So don't worry too much about the RAM if you can't get the 1600 RAM.

U just insert or already insert long time?

if you see at benching scores, for me totally not worth, i saw long time ago got reviews comparing these 2 speeds of ram, almost no performance gains. 7zip benchmark something like that only different 3-4 seconds only. LOL

Hmmmm...
I tired before by put another 4GB 1333MHz RAM inside my Y480(then become 8GB run with 1333MHz), the time after insert just ok, speed improved, but after a long time, it become slow like hell, boot time need 120-130k ms....

maybe you got bunch of startup apps ? the best solution, get a SSD SATA3.

no lol...
I already adjust to best condition...
now I move out that 1333MHz module, boot time become 40k ms(40s) only...

that's weird. lol..

So now I'm selling that 4GB 1333MHz and one more 2GB 1333MHz(They free me during bought this laptop) RAM...
Planing to buy CM U2/U3 cooler pad first....

can anyone tell me in the diver cd the what is ur wireless diver my wireless cannot search for internet

If I am not mistaken... There are 3 wifi driver in the cd.. Install the 3rd driver..

Mine one is Atheros, and I think most of device also using that one...

How u check for dead pixel/usb port /dvd drive for freeDos Y480 during purchase?

i also was planning to get one y480. at my area they are selling it at 2450. but with windows student. i guess mybe i'll got cheaper without that windows student right? mmm
