Thanks so much for the options, but what do you think of the lenovo y580? had my eye on that for awhile, even though the full hd one is not out yet, im willing to wait or maybe go for the lower reso one.

Actually I was in the same situation as you too. 4k budget gaming and uni life.
Y580 definitely have the better gpu compare to the n56vz and dell 15r se, the gtx660m is thumbup.gif
Everything is so fine with Y580 until I read some review.

Y580 has abnormal high HDD temperature due to thermal design problem where hardisk is located between the heat source CPU & GPU

Y580 with i5-3210M, GTX660M(GDDR5) at room temp 24C,
Under idle situation, CPU 55C, GTX660M 41C, HDD at 47C which is high

Under full stress with Prime95, FurMark, AIDA64 to stress HDD
CPU & GPU at 91C, HDD at 63C
This is an unnatural level of stress that is almost never achieved under normal circumstances (including heavy gaming)
Kinda worry with the hdd lifespan under such temp everyday sad.gif

Yeah that worries me too.. but perhaps with a heavy duty cooling pad, will it be alright? as i will only be gaming back in my room so having a big bulky cooling pad is not a problem for me.. How's the performance so far? for the y580? 1 more question, is the screen glaring under sunlight? i'm kind of set for the y580, but waiting for the full HD version to release in malaysia first.

I pretty sure this review will help you to answer all those question, except the hdd heat problem. Gona need y580 owner to answer about tat sweat.gif
