Need advice here. is Lenovo Ideapad Z500 i5-3230M 2.6Ghz non-ULV easily going overheating when playing graphics games. what about when we compare the cooling system with its thinness.
*
the processor normally wont overheat easily but the graphic card will. the processor will be around 65C and the graphics card will be around 80C.

ps - its just an assumption. other sifus please do correct me if im wrong.

Hi to all Sifus. Need some help in finding the right Ultrabook to fit my budget and use. Thanks!

1. Asus, Toshiba, Samsung, wouldn't mind Acer if the deal is good
2. RM 3,500+-
3. Surfing, Skype, Some movies, Microsoft Office, Web Apps. No Gaming
4. Best if below 1.3KGs. Screen size at least 13" above

I am going to use it for extensive travelling so I thought SSD hard disk would be safer to transport around.

IMO, the dell best fit your budget as a 15" ultrabook and use the remaining budge to extend the warranty to 3 years on site.

hi i thought ultrabook the weight is lesser usually? what is the difference between ultrabook and normal laptop?thanks

15" ultrabooks are like that. if you want lighter, you can look for 14" and below (which is usually more expensive). ultrabooks uses lightweight, smaller battery, comes or doesnt comes with low performance graphics card and ultra-low-voltage processors. ultrabooks are more power saving compared to normal laptops, as expected ultrabooks have battery performance of about 4-6 hours while normal laptops have expected battery performance of 2-4 hours.
