sorry bro..just helping a freind..

next time i'll just PM..

Best is to check and test the display unit yourself to determine the screen quality . You can also check with the Y500 sifus for feedback over here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2619081

According to notebookcheck, Y500/GT650m sli provides a decent battery capacity of 72 Wh or 6700mAh. It will last around 3hr 10min for surfing and around 4hrs when idle. The battery life is only average.
Its still worth for me to sacrifice some of its battery life to get the sli option and boost the performance close to GTX670mx with the attractive pricing The upcoming new Y500/GT750m sli is expected to perform close to gtx675mx, is hard to resist around RRP 3.8k(my guess).
We can also disable the cpu/gpu boost to get more battery juice.

You can also check the idenfication written on the box and ensure its local set befor you open it. Read post#1 for more details.

why don"t you just get MSI GX60 Radeon HD7970m performance on game almost GTX680m... for priceRm3,700-Rm4,000 ?

since y400 with gt 750m out...this thread is getting hotter and hotter

im thinking to get cooler master notepal u2 with 3 fan...

GX60 CPU is very preppy compare with Intel, it will bottleneck the 7970M GPU and get low fps when playing with high/ultra high resolution in certain games.

u can check the serial number before purchasing to make sure its local set. go to http://support.lenovo.com/en_MY/product-se...us/default.page? then key in the serial number. it will show u the location of the device, if local set, will show 'malaysia' n some other stuff haha

Err let me put it this way instead.

You will get same low/comparable fps like gtx680m/675m with Intel CPU when playing high/ultra at full HD. Because at the highest setting and resolution, bottleneck will be on the GPU and irregardless of CPU (in most games). In this case, both AMD and Intel proc are bottleneck by the GPU

However at lower reso or setting, GX60 will fall behind equivalent gpu with a Intel cpu, by a noticeable to large margin. This is the CPU bottleneck. However in this condition, the frame rates is still playable (as setting alrd lowered) so for some its not really an issue

Also other CPU intensive games like SC2 or mayb BF3 or GW2, no matter what setting GX60 will fall behind Intel.

Other things i noticed about is the AMD cpu load quite slowly, alth during gaming the fps is roughly the same (eg. Dota2 games usually im the last to load in)

Guys, i got an offer today in Lowyat.

2790 with free 4GB RAM upgrade, but i cannot install my ssd over there. :'(

And is it true that i can only extend warranty at official lenovo service centre?

Should i accept that offer and install my SSD somewhere else in lowyat?

well i purchase Asus G75vx... my spec is on my signature... and my friend bought Msi GX60... i compare with him... real life gaming... he beat ...sorry his GX60 beat my Asus G75vx... No joke... Stop listen to other ppl talk about Amd Cpu been botlleneck.. not true... well is base on my experience... i dont use Msi GX60, i use G75vx... my g75vx beat y400/y500 soo... choice is base on my opinion,,,

Of course you can beat the likes of Y400/Y500..

Look at those spec..

oh sorry not to disrespect... just trying to inform... GX60 is good for under Rm4k... almost reach GTX680m performance.. . .

someone here already bought Y400 Gt750m with many accesorry and ram with notepal u2 cheap

not me

but im sure that lucky man will come here

What game u comparing it with? CPU bounded game like SC2, Skyrim, etcs will certainly bottleneck that HD7970M.

But a bottleneck HD7970M is still better than a GTX60M imo.

sorry... game is Far Cry 3/ dead space 3 Res 1920x1080 High setting... but no lags.. i got 28-38 fps.. msi gx got 35-45fps... my GPU is GTX 670MX

GX60 under 4k?

yes.. my friend and me went low yat search for gaming notebook.. as i was so proud to get G75vx he could only get GX60, he have last laugh compare game performence... but i told him i got 3D!!! lols and.. blu-ray lols ... he just got extra 10-16fps... oh and rm 2.3k cheaper notebook lol

I thought GX60 was around RM4.5k? Price dropped that much?

Oh ya, for anyone that getting GX60, probably best to wait for its AMD A10-5750M refresh.

currently considering

Lenovo IdeaPad Y400 59-356819 - Dusk Black
Intel Core i7-3630QM (2.4GHz up to 3.4GHz, 6MB Cache)
Window 8
14" WLED HD
4GB DDR3 RAM
500GB HDD (5400rpm)
Nvidia GT650M 2G DDR5

Lenovo Z400 TOUCH 59-366600 - Dark Chocolate
Intel® Core™ i7 Processor I7- 3632QM (2.20Ghz/1600MHz/6MB L3 Cache)
Win 8
14.0 HD LED MULTI-TOUCH
4GB DDR3 (1 x 4096MB)
1TB HDD
Nvidia GT740 2GB

The price is about the same, so which is better?
Does touch screen useful? seems cool

The Z400 is slightly slower in term of CPU and GPU power but you will appreciate that touch screen when using Window 8 imo, just be extra careful with the screen hinge.
