I found Lenovo Y480 i7 + Gt650m RM2599..should i grab this? Is this a good bargain?Actually i plan to buy dell 14r i5 + gt730m. Should i still consider dell or just grab the y480? Reply ASAP

Is the Y480 a local set? If it is a grey import, not advisable to buy, may have problem claiming warranty from Lenovo Malaysia later.

So u suggest me to buy the local set? How should i notice the different? Just by asking the sales agent?

Errr ... if you are using it mostly as desktop replacement, meant that you will plug in AC power most of the time, then why are you concern with good battery performance?

Your usage don't need powerful CPU or GPU, i3 & HD 4000 is more than enough.

ask the sales agent how many years warranty does he provide. ask him is it under lenovo, approved distributor or private distributor. also ask him is the warranty of the accessories separated or else.

Read the 1st post of these thread to know how to identify Lenovo local set, and links to thread whereby users complain about Lenovo Malaysia warranty support of grey imports.

Ok...AP set is another issue. Just want to know, which one is better in term of reliability n will be most least overheat between Y480 and Dell inspiron 14R (i7 + gt650m) vs (i5 + gt730m) ?

Who care about reliability? All models has lemon unit. That's why the warranty support is important, and the AP set is THE issue.
Of course more powerful component (i7 + GT650M) will generate more heat. For laptop at this price range, please don't expect great heat sink, fantastic cooling fan, high end thermal paste. You are dealing with a 14" case. The Y480 will run hotter than the 14R. (Btw, 14R SE has better build than 14R)

some one hlp me z500,toshiba l850 and dell inspiron15R SE which 1 better?

Lenovo Z500 - best for bang of buck
Toshiba L850 - longest warranty support
Dell Inspiron 15R SE - best warranty support and good specifications (not as great as the Z500)

for me, i would say Z500 is the best choice.

hye.

my friend of mine is searching a new laptop for gaming, graphic usage. and he found 2 laptops
Ideapad Y500 or Asus N56VZ-S4284H.

which one is the preffered one?

talking about graphic usage, what kind of graphic usage? photoshop?

the best choice is the lenovo y500, it comes with swappable ODD for another GT650M for SLI or HDD to expand storage.

dear all sifu, is Lenovo
Ideapad Y580 available in lowyat? Sorry never been there for a long time. would like to purchase it this weekend

the model has been phased out and im worry that most shops dont have that model. if you want, you can purchase another variant, the Y500 with swappable ODD for SLI or expand storage.

Preferred brand: any good reliable ones will do
Budget around 2.3k
Usage: just for college, maplestory, music movies just those things.
A 14" might be good and most importantly i need a light one.
any suitable choices?
i want those with and without touchscreen(will consider if i want it anot) that meets my requirement

he's more to cad, such as catia, solidwork etc. for engineering design software.

Thank you raymond for the prompt reply.. aww too bad my budget is around 2.6k-3k...

it is true about the performance battery of z500 not good?and card reader only 2in1 ,1 usb3.0 only...but is lighter than 15R SE..so u suggestion is z500?but still new,u know any bad comments of z500?how long the 4 cells battery can support,?its will longer than 6cells?

it is true that the battery performance of Z500 is bad, and cant compete with those 6 cells variants. and yes, it is lighter than 15R SE, card reader 2in1, 3 USB (1 3.0, 2 2.0). bad comments about the Z500 is they dont come with core i7 like the Z400 do.
