Usage Work + Gaming + Surfing + Streaming 4. Preferred laptop/screen size 14"-15.6" This post has been edited by UnknownH: Sep 21 2012, 12:25 AM |

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « waa..just like in my mind aa. Asus N56Vz-S3088V and Lenovo Y480(5934-7549)(freedos) and Lenovo Y480(5934-1372)(W7HP) asus one got free backpack and subwoofer eh? lenovo free dos then got free headset but the lenovo W7HP doesnt offer free headset? but the performance between the asus and lenovo seems different at proc,screen size.what else eh?other pro and contra? ventilation,reliability,?worry about overheating here.because i seldom saw people using lenovo compare to asus and acer.

QUOTE(ytlay @ Sep 21 2012, 04:13 PM) Y480 is the best pick for its best price/performance with higher core i7 & better GT650M(GDDR5) than N56vz GT650M(DDR3). gt650 for n56vz is ddr3 while y480 is gddr5?Y480 freeDOS or W7HB both come with Lenovo P950 headset valid till 30/9/12 while stock last. Y480(freeDOS) bundle with free backpack.  looks like im getting the lenovo one lah.  so the free gifts for Y480(freeDOS) and Y480(W7HP) are same except the W7HP doesn't offer free backpack?  |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Sep 21 2012, 06:55 PM) Why would you want to pre-order? because no stock.need to order first.ask the shop got g480 oni.what is the right term eh?my mistakeJust use the codes stated in the recommendations, those are serial numbers for a particular laptop Added on September 21, 2012, 7:53 pmLenovo Y480(5934-7549) it is right?the freeDOS,save cost.

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Sep 21 2012, 07:54 PM) I recalled seeing one last weekend at LYP im afraid it is almost impossible because im in terengganu.therefore,it's a bit risky to do postage aa.Anyway, you could always PM and preorder from "devour", he is a reliable seller, won't get conned one  i asked the shops how long i need to wait for pre order.some said 2-3 days,while other shops said 2-3 weeks. big diff there.why aa? Added on September 21, 2012, 8:30 pmbut i notice the FreeDOS version using i7 3630qm while the W7HP using i7 3610qm.am i right? This post has been edited by UnknownH: Sep 21 2012, 08:30 PM |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Sep 21 2012, 10:20 PM) Hello fellow humanoid of the universe y400/500 look nice wor.but it doesnt have dvd drive a?and what doest it mean by ultrabay?didnt quite understand  If you really need to buy now, then the only pick would be the Y580  15.6" Lenovo Y580, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GTX660M + 1920x1080 @RM2999[JBL], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HBasic, backlit keyboard, 2 yrs warranty, P950 headset Though I would suggest you to wait if you can, new and more powerful laptops will surely be released from time to time.. The upcoming Lenovo Y400/500 are worth waiting for too: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2491914  This post has been edited by UnknownH: Sep 21 2012, 10:39 PM |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Sep 21 2012, 11:00 PM) Based on what I understand, yes hmm..done some research on it.starting price will be $649 which is around 2k.staritng price meh..actual price maybe like u said laa.around 3k-4kBut there's really not much details at the moment... so just have to wait... I doubt it'll be RM2k only because of the unique design.... I'm guessing around RM3-4k for one, excluding ultrabay components just go with y480 laa like this  |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Sep 27 2012, 11:41 PM) I think its more because there were misinformed or outdated haha seems like that la.There is an i7-3630QM version for the Y480... its just a normal refresh in terms of CPU need to buy via postage lor this way.but worry about warranty/after sale service. or i can send the laptop here in kuala terengganu?instead post it back to seller to claim warranty?

dear sifus.after recommendations u gave me,i still confuse la.
u did suggest y480,yes it's in my budget but i dont think i'll fully utilize the i7 proc.and sure i'll be wasting my money there. so i5 should be sufficient for me with same powerful gpu like y480. |

QUOTE(Acid_RuleZz @ Oct 1 2012, 12:17 AM) you will utilize it in 2 years time. consider that as part of future investment still..few hundred bucks is a big money for me.. there's no laptop with GT650M GDDR5 with Core i5 and cheaper than Y480. thinking of dell inspiron 14r.it does come with backlit keyboard right? |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Oct 1 2012, 09:19 AM) This is the only rival inspiron 14r around 2k only right?there's 300 bucks different here.Lenovo Z480, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M@RM2399, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm) W7HB, colors: grey/red/blue proc,gpu same right?windows same too or not? the only difference i can see here is the HDD capacity and speed. about the design,which one more slim?more professional look? seriously dont know which one to buy. |
