The Z500 is offering quite a lot for the price, so its best that you wait, if you can

thank you for the suggestion. I'm stick with the asus g55. it is a great laptop but abit heavy but that not a problem. hehe. thanks again to all.

but my friend buy the lenovo y580, and play the battlefield 3. but the graphic not smooth as my g55. abit lag. it is related to lenovo y580 over heating problem?

thanks... but may I know when z500 wil be available at Malaysia?
and how much the price will be?

The specs are as follows:
15.6"
Lenovo Z500 touch, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT645M + (1366x768; touch)@RM2249, 4GB, 1TB, W8; backlit, 2 years warranty

Not sure when its coming, probably this month or the next?

oo thanks..
gt645m is 2gb or 1gb?

Doesn't matter. GT645M could not utilise 2GB VRAM

Nope. I think probably:
1. You and your friend did not use the same BF3 graphic setting.
2. Your friend may not set the Y580 up properly.

Some owners have complained that they face difficulties in getting warranty support from Lenovo Malaysia on their grey import units

If you want a laptop with FHD screen, there is none within your budget
What you can do is connect the laptop to FHD capable external display / TV through HDMI to enjoy the FHD detail.

I plan on using an external display anyway, mostly dota,
and among the ones you listed which would be the best?

is there any other lenovo y or z series similar to these both (y480 n 580)? and also what about asus??

thank you. it is need to setting at nvida or BF3 setting?

Best in terms of what?
If you are looking for most power, then those with GT640M and above:
A45VS, Inspiron 14R SE, Z480.

Please share what is your budget

Errr ... BF3 graphic setting?
There is low, medium, high, ultra preset.
And you can also set things up individually: texture, shadow, effect, mesh, terrain, AA Deferred, AA post, motion blur, AF, ambient.

For Nvidia GTX660M, nothing much.
For laptop in general, open / background apps running, RAM usage, HDD speed, ... all has small (but incremental and not insignificant) impact on gaming performance.

Heat does not throttle the CPU and GPU performance in Y580 (just make the components die faster if user don't have good cooling solution )

max 3k, still in confuse mode selecting laptop. urm
