weird, I can't find a GT650M Y480 anywhere in their website.

They'll probably update their website in a few months time,got any questions just post em here!

lol that's not right. US website is usually updated. Taken that, the original leaked specs for Y480 is this one, still, the price even FreeDos is too unbelievable.


Anyway lets discuss.

>14 inch
>GT650M GDDR5
>i7-3610
>Pre-existing heat issues with Y580


Reports of DV6-7XXX running GDDR5 version of GT650M going hot is quite popular on NBR. Fitting very much the same specs in a 14 inch, what would be the outcome?

HP cooling is vey suck. Noisy fan.

My 2 year old pavilion dv4 now sounds like a jet during start up =_=

even my bro 3 months old dv6 during diablo 3, very lound sound from the fan.

Well i thought you were referring to the Lenovo Malaysia website,My understanding is that the Y480 with the GT650M is only available in China and now Malaysia?

highly unlikely.


It's always US first before Malaysia

If full hd then I will work so hard for it.....value buy lar..

Let us speculate now as the price is too good to be true , it will clarify itself when the new Y480 with GT650M pop up anytime.
iirmc, Lenovo do mention that Y480 with GT650 will come in June during their previous new product lauching.
If we compare the existing Y480 with GT640M LE, its cost 2999 with win7 and 2499 with DOS. Its highly possible they will replace the existing Y480 with the same pricing.
If we compare with new Y580 at 3399. Its seem justify for the pricing different of 900 for win7, GTX660M, extra 4GB & 500GB and blue ray.
Its also possible come with i5-3210m/GT650M(GDDR5)/DOS at 2499 Then it will direct compete with N56vz with i5/GT650(DDR3) at 2699. It may not be competative with Asus where it come with Win7, 2 yrs warranty, sufwoofer and relatively better quality and design for 200 different. But Asus warranty service is questionable

quite possible but we never see this kind of pricing(especially for an i7) yet in MY.

My take is quite different:


you know how lenovo US always have this coupon that makes their products ultra-cheap?


it'd be easier if devour could confirm us the pricing for his units.

Razer Blade win! LOL

The review from Wired gave only 5 out of 10 for Y480 and it stated the performance of i7 3610 is below par. Is it solely because no SSD/7200rpm hdd (which I can overlook) or the processor in Y480 is really below par? I think it's the former right?

I am planning to get Y580 though but I have mixed feelings.

sorry bro, cant help on tis matter, i am not sure if this is the one we are getting in malaysia..

i juz went and search for review.. most gv average only..
maybe others sifu can help to explain more detail..

even better if those who have purchased can gv a short personal review

Added on June 25, 2012, 2:43 pmi personally think u should go for a 7200rpm hard disk.. even better if u can get the ssd version
window 8 is coming.. i tink it would be a heavy system so for future proof, get a 7200 or ssd or both (^-^)

i dont think so. Dota 2 is not that high-graphics consuming

not all configuration will come to Malaysia..some of them u need buy from oversea..

Y580 keep on jumping the shipment form mid June, late Jun than to July.
Wish it can make it in the coming PC fair from 13/7 to 15/7 lol.

Lenovo Malaysia replied in facebook here.
"The Lenovo IdeaPad Y580 will be available sometime in July 2012!
We apologize on the lateness of the shipment as there are various factors contributing to the delay. We will be sure to keep you updated as soon as it is available!"

Y480 average score 72.5 in notebookcheck external review here.
more detail review from notebookreview here.

Its better to wait for user review as Y480 may has potential heating issues.

Haih, too bad I got the Asus N56VZ last Saturday. If not I might reconsider the Y480 with GT650M DDR5.

Mainly is because of the review by Asus owners here regarding the after sales service.

Hopefully the N56VZ doesn't give me headache as I will travelling oversea and is nearly impossible for me to wait for period of warranty claim by Asus....

i hate LENOVO(IBM) very much.... Now i wont recommended ppl buy LENOVO damn brand service.....
i think all the malaysia lenovo staff know me... i dono send how many much mail to different staff for complaint.
my Y570 take 1month+
my B310 warranty take time 2month+
my X1 take 1 month+ (almost 2 month) Damn this X1 lie, i want to show to my fren this laptop was water resistance, when i put some water, the X1 cant startup. After repair is a part of the board faulty by water... walao??? IBM????
my Thinkpad tablet take 1month+
only my X220 is work fine.


is that i bad luck? or malaysia lenovo really bad?
