QUOTE(ytlay @ Apr 9 2013, 08:18 PM) If you are gamer, wait and grab the upcoming Y500/Y400 +GT750m(GDDR5) which have better performance above GTX660m (ie Y580), much better cooling system, poisoness red backlit, optional swappable ultrabay, removable battery, slot for mSATA SSD and easier self upgrade of HDD, SSD, ram and dust cleaning compare to new Z400. How soon will it be? I need my new laptop urgently!Else wait to grab new Z500/GT740m around the same performance of GT650m( ie N56vz) with bigger screen and better cooling compare to Z400. |

QUOTE(ytlay @ Apr 14 2013, 10:42 PM) No swappable disc drive for Z400 hey, care to explain the part in bold? You need to check with Z400 user or reseller whether HDD bay or ODD bay is sata3 port before you get the SSD. Generally, HDD bay is sata3 port and ODD bay is sata2 port. But pls check it out. Z400 don't have extra msata slot for msata SSD. Y400 has msata slot. What is HDD bay or ODD bay? does it matter? |

QUOTE(ytlay @ Apr 15 2013, 11:23 PM) HDD bay is hardisk slot and ODD bay is optical disk drive slot. not just sata3 port but an extra sata3 port because i want to add SSD into my laptop, not replace my HDD Generally, HDD slot come with sata3 port which will speed up the SSD. ODD slot come with sata2 port which will slow down the SSD like HDD speed. You need to make sure Z400 come with sata3 port to enjoy the speed of SSD. Is it possible to check from the lenovo website? |

QUOTE(ytlay @ Apr 15 2013, 11:57 PM) If sata3 port is at HDD slot for Z400, you can swap your HDD with SSD. Get a suitable slim caddy bay to place your HDD and swap it with ODD. Use the ODD as external drive. This is similar to how Y580/Y480 users installed their SSD. Suitable slim caddy bay? is it an extra component or is it in the laptop? If you want to retain your ODD in laptop, then use the HDD as external drive. Furthermore, i dont think the ODD is swappable for the HDD. Correct me if i'm wrong |

QUOTE(-kytz- @ Apr 16 2013, 02:48 PM) Personally, I'd wait for Acer's offering, waiting for something like a i7, GT750M, Full HD Matte IPS display combination. Currently, Acer only has this, GT750M> GT740M (Lenovo Z400) > GT730M. Perhaps Acer might refresh their V3-571G-736b8G1T with a GT750M...who knows Hey man, thanks but i got bad experience against acer so nah, will stick to lenovo V3-571G-736b8G1T, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT730M(DDR3) + (1920x1080 IPS) @RM2899[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8 I don't know about the Y400 but the older brother, Y480 suffers from BAD viewing angles. Any y400 owners got comment on the viewing angle of y400? |

QUOTE(ytlay @ Apr 19 2013, 01:22 PM) Perhaps, he get mess up with Y400/GT650m. I will personally check it out myself. Hopefully its true Best is to get someone walk in and see with their own eye. Its better to check with the resellers in garage sales. They have faster updates on any new model. Some resellers already accept pre order for Y400/GT750m/W8 around RM26xx. Check it out at garage sales. Y400/GT750m will come with W8 and freeDOS choices. |

I dont think there is a difference with previous y400/gt650 models. new Y400 specs & retail price? How much they offer you, any freeupgrade/freegift? Price is 2799. Not sure if they only have 1 unit for display or they have ready stock. Edit: idk why but on the laptop screenshot of the specs... There is a sentence saying "diy to the max" then they listed the specs. Will upload tonight for further clarification This post has been edited by Eclipse123: Apr 19 2013, 07:58 PM |
