QUOTE(liptonpc @ Dec 11 2012, 06:06 PM) thanks s2, how long u using this? and are u core gaming or just normal play? I bought it at 29/7/2012, so is 4 months and one week ++.... Yeap I'm hardcore gaming(when I'm free I may play few hours, and put those game to maximum possible graphic setting) and also convert video by using GPU- acceleration, later I will use it for 3D modeling and engineering rendering |

QUOTE(liptonpc @ Dec 11 2012, 06:19 PM) how u feel y480? if consider between 480 and 580 which one u recommend? What I bought Y480 is portable la...i'm quite confuse about the quality of lenovo and also the temperature of this  thanks s2At least in 2kg++ If I buy Y580 sure hard to bring it since it's 2.6kg++ mcm... Y480 is quite solid built  And since Lenovo can handle the previous IBM ThinkPad series, I'm sure they will can be handle the their IdeaPad series too |

I went to the lenovo retailer last weekend, didn't see any (not even for y500) Well I think they(Lenovo Retailer) not even wanna sell this two model, maybe they still keep lot of stock for previous Y480 and Y580(as u can see in Lenovo Malaysia page, they keep promoting Y580 and they skip those ask for Y500)It's pretty much very nice of it, except it has only 1 x 3.0 USB which is so ...  |

QUOTE(mrl @ Dec 13 2012, 12:54 AM) I normally run medium or high with 1600x900 resolution to maintain higher framerate except for certain games, portal 2 i used the highest since it's an old game, maintaining 60fps is not really a problem... bf3 i used medium before but just start trying lowest setting now, probably going to drop the resolution more... ac3 it's around mid if i'm not mistaken... Well now I'm playing in 1366x768(Y480 only can until 1366x768 in default screen But still, it depends on your preference... some can play with lower framerate, some cannot... i myself used to my desktop pc running games at 50fps and above, so playing with lower is a little bit uncomfortable for me...  )So It's np for max out all the graphic setting |

QUOTE(hikashi @ Dec 13 2012, 11:27 AM) I never intend to buy FHD to see from far. What I mean was 15" FHD is more compress than 15" HD(due to resolution) So u will see the object more smaller than what u see from 15" HD plus 15" is quite small if u wanna watch in a distance |
