was planning to get y580(swap HDD with SSD, ODD swap with HDD, for better heat)
will hook up laptop with hdmi with my 22inch monitor anyway. pick up y400 or y500 or y580. obviously screen size doesn't matter to me. heat wise which one better? This post has been edited by arju: Dec 22 2012, 06:49 PM |

QUOTE(sh1ng0 @ Dec 22 2012, 06:59 PM) if I were you I will pick up Y580 instead, Y500 with SLI is buggy and rendered useless for me to play dota. Thanks sifu, i concerned is the heat, Y580 after i swap HDD with SSD, ODD swap with HDD,Y580 is cheaper and has extra DVD rom. or worst case scenario get Y400 instead. Spec and budget wise you can get Y580 for the same price with better specs on y580/.  the heat will be on par with y400/500? i will on the laptop entire night DL torrent. if i get the y400/y500 will only get single GPU, 2 GPU unnecessary for me, also not require swapping SSD/HDD if i get y580 will configure with swap HDD with SSD, ODD swap with HDD This post has been edited by arju: Dec 22 2012, 07:11 PM |

QUOTE(ytlay @ Jan 27 2013, 02:05 AM) This is where they make their money lol. heat wise Y580  Y500 with dual gpus(gt650m SLI) is overkill since you are not into gaming.  Latest Y500 bundle with both 120w & 170w psu. You can bring the 120w psu when you need mobility. Swap in the ultrabay gpu and use 170w psu when you need the extra gpu performance. If you want i7 , full HD laptop and don't mind the overkill gtx660m. Better get the cheaper Y580@2999 with gtx660m and longer battery life. Use the remaining budget to buy SSD and swap it with HDD, get a much cheaper HDD caddy bay and swap it with ODD. use the ODD as external drive. If you wish to retain the ODD, then get the mSATA SSD for mSATA slot.  option 1 = SSD in HDD original location, HDD swap to ODD or option 2 = mSata SSD install slot, HDD swap to ODD, leave the original HDD slot empty which one better? any real life sifu implement this, what is the degree celcious improve TQ |

QUOTE(ytlay @ Jan 27 2013, 08:45 PM) Its better go for option 1. You will get faster response with SSD, improved cooling in HDD and palmrest area. i thought mSata and Sata SSD same speed rite? correct me if i'm wrong. You can check out the benchmark & some reviews at: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2392413 or ask the pro users opinion at: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2619081 install the 128G mSata SSD slot and still move the HDD to ODD will improve heat compare msata slot + HDD in original location rite? plan to get Crucial M4 mSata 128G |
