Anyone feels that web browsing on Windows 8 will slow down every now and then? It's not constant though, if I load a page after not touching the browser for some time, it will load quite slowly. After that it will be fast again. However, the cycle repeats itself everytime I leave the browser not doing anything.

guys I have a few questions..

basically I am planning to get the y580 the full HD, DVD writer, 500gb HDD model cuz it starts at 2700

1... I want to upgrade ram to 16gb. its cost about 200rm to do that so its worth it I suppose. only problem is that now most of this model comes with windows 8. I dont want that. I want windows 7 and the problem with that is that this model comes with home basic whic is not compatible with 16gb ram. what do I do ? I do not want the i7 3610 model. do you know how I can get windows 7 premium, professional or ultimate ? is there any seller here who is actually doing that ?

2..  I also want to upgrade to SSD. either I get an msata and keep the HDD inside or I replace the HDD with a 2.5" SSD. msata does not seem to be a viable option at the moment as it is much more expensive perGB in malaysia and also the R/W speeds are much less compared to sata 3 SSD.
now I just want o know that when I do get one, how easy is it to transfer the OS to the SSD? is it a pain to do this ? can I do it by my self?
will that void my warranty? (though I dont think it should)

3.. current owners.. how do you find this machine ? is it worth the price?
I currently use a second generation i5 with 8gb ram. and I work on autodesk maya.. this is the only laptop I found in my budget that seemed like a worthwhile upgrade (on paper). how is it to use though?
I ask because once I make this choice I plan to be stuck with it for atleast the next 2-3 years. I dont wanna USE a PC for now

I'm facing the same problem on all 3 browsers that I'm using, Firefox, Chrome and IE.

how to know watt and amp are larger?

man now im so confused. y580 vs y500 vs y400

I guess the first main question would be GTX660M vs GT650M and I really dont understand all the jargon on the comparison sites. I guess in the real world, while actually playing games, does it make a somewhat significant difference?

thenext would definately be that I dont understand what this whole ultrabay thing does. from my understanding basically its a slot where you can replace the the DVD drive with a harddisk and case or another graphic card and case. I guess that would be useful if playing super high demanding games. but otherwise its useless. the reason this is confusing for me is that I dont play too many games. im not a gamer. but when I do play accidentally start of playing something, the whole world shuts down for like a week. last time I did that was 2 years ago. ive been on rehab ever since.

3rdly now a lot of sellers dont have the y580. and y500 is quite expensive i believe. does the price drop if I dont buy a nother graphics card and go for a simple DVD drive instead? the y480 is around the same price as the y580 non blu-ray. but some sellers say its 14 inch and some say its 15.6. im confused. also is it 1080p full HD? cuz im not sure.

other than these which is a better machine in terms of looks, build quality and structure and cooling etc ? I really have no idea about all this.

hoping to get some real world answers that a semi-nerd-semi-noob can understand

Y500 disable the HD4000 and no optimus, prevent me from buy Y500.
Do Y500 able to keep in long run(3~5years) with NVIDEA on full time.

Do y580 really phase out recently? any rumor of Y580 sequel?

Btw I heard about a lot of overheating problems.

Solution: Switch HDD to SSD?

And anyone here tried playing Battlefield 3 on the Y580 here?

May I ask how is it playing? Multiplayer Armoured Kill maps getting good fps?(Since those maps are the biggest) and what settings you're on? :3

guys.
i have a question on my y480.

tried both windows 7 and windows 8 installed.
it happened that even in the idle state the temperature on win8 is roughly 60-70 degree C.
while on win7 its ranging from 30-50 degree C.

on some severe works using autocad12, cs6 and sketchup my laptop would shut itself.
even for both OS.
any of you guys using the same model as mine?
featuring the GT640M LE.

Guys, I have been reading up a lot of bugs happening on this laptop(Y580), anyone got the graphics bug for a local machine(defective GPU)? Most of the bugs were reported by people who bought from Lenovo.com itself.

Did anyone use this http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm in their Y series laptop? I found out if i set my core clock and memory clock lower i will get a lower temperature in idle and web surfing.    Im using a y480 with win 7 home premium and with GT640M LE..

Im still confused between y500 and y580.
Any suggestion which is better? in terms of overall performance.

new Y500 owner here   

Guys, I was looking around for a laptop with 2 budgets

a) Below 2k (G480)

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2397675&hl=

b) Below 2.5k (Y480)

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2349017/all

This specs seems to be a little different from the one on the first page of this thread, any reasons why?

Will the 2.5k laptop have a lot of difference in terms of gaming performance compared with the 2k laptop?

thanks bro but I was actually leaning towards Y580 since the GTX660 card is what I prefer cuz I dont play too many games and the SLI y500 is too pricey as well. so in terms of y580 what do you suggest? also what is a cache drive ? would using the SSD as a cache drive be the same as using the SSD as primary boot drive with OS .. in terms of speed and performance of course. also If you were me and going for the y580 (though I do like the y500 design and weight) would go for mSATA+HDD or just a single SSD?

ah.. makes sense.. but i suppose that really wont be as fast as an SSD. in any case sorry for being a noob.. well we all start somewhere

hmmm. cause currently im still out of budget to get a 2nd gpu, since a single gpu cost up to RM 2700 ( 16 gb ssd + blueray) , was planning to trade in the blue ray and top up for the 2nd gpu.
I heard US set , some are faulty unit?

im starting to hate windows 8 now lol

DmC 5 graphic is too crazy!!!!
In Y480 it only can be in this setting:
High graphic quality+HD texture+HD AA
Other like v-sync, HD shadow and Ultra graphic quality can't be on, otherwise fps drop sharply
BTW this game is optimize for AMD graphic card

Hi all, new y400 user here.
I tried to play need for speed most wanted, but it seems lag. Really lag, what should I do? What's you guys setting for this game? I choose from highest setting to medium but still lag. My specs is i7-3630qm, 8gb, gt650m

What should I do to make it smooth?

Ps: my most wanted is copy from my friend which is downloaded from Internet. Anything to do with this?

Alright, will try to download the latest driver first. Currently I am using original driver. Where to check the frame per second thingy?

Just now I try to update my driver to latest one, then I ran the game and its smooooooth. Then I shut down, and I run the game again when I was home, it's lag again. Quite fed up

Hi all sifu,

Actually I'm in delima to choose between Y500 and Y580.

I'm gonna use the laptop primary for work assignments ie. 3Ds Max, heavy photoshop, sketchup, autocad n 3d rendering.

So,  i want to ask which one is worth to buy. I know both of the model is awesome n both of the models are within my budget.

Thanks in advance.
