yes, maximum 128GB module yet so far. you can choose to use the mSATA as a boot drive other than caching. but, mSATA speed will be slower compared to standalone SSD. assume the read/write speed will be 300/150 for mSATA while 500/200-500 for standalone SSD.

Did Lenovo Z500 come with GT740M?i preffered to buy lenovo z500 next week on pcfair...currently the website is GT645M?

no, it doesnt released yet.

oic...So when will released...i prefer 15.6 screen...

i think at same time with the new Y500, maybe around may-july.

Oh thanks for suggestion, all this time ive been looking at the lenovo thinkpad, not the ideapad lol. Is the ideapad better? The Asus G series look pretty powerful too but is it pricey?

ThinkPads are more towards business usage, so the specs are usually not as good as those from multimedia/consumer lines
ThinkPads are not really meant for gaming as well haha..
Still, they are of better quality when compared to the Ideapad line

The G series is not as powerful as the Y500 in SLI mode though, pretty good machine with 2 years warranty (but do take not of Asus Malaysia's lousy warranty support).. Its priced at RM4k.
For around that price you can also opt for an Illegear RS-15

Budget <= 2K

So, how much do the upgrades cost and wheres the best place to buy? cause I think i really like your suggestion. probably will get this

You can pretty much get RAM and SSD anywhere, or maybe you can ask from the laptop seller and you might get some discount

A 4GB ram stick typically costs around RM90+ (due to the recent ram price hike )

240GB or 256GB SSDs usually go for around RM500+ I recommend the Intel 335 series 240GB SSD

Please recommend a budget laptop
1. Preferred Brand - any brands
2. Budget - Below 1.7k
3. Usage - assigment,playable PES 2013 without lag low or medium setting
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - doesn't matter

Your best bet would be a G480, but you'll have to get an OS yourself
14"
Lenovo G480, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT635M@RM1699, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), FreeDOS

opt for new lenovo Z400. you wont regret getting it.
the GT740M is capable of playing most modern games at mid-high settings.

Greetings to all the sifus.

Please help me buy a new laptop based on the following criteria

1. Preferred Brand - Lenovo/Asus/Dell
2. Budget - Below RM1200
3. Usage
- I mainly will use the laptop for surfing internet, Facebook, Youtube, torrent, P2P, very little photo editing and watching movies.
4. Preferred laptop/screen size
- 14 inch
- Long battery life
- Dual core processors because I tend to do multitasking (downloading while watching movies)
- Not very heavy
- Quite slim
- No overheating problem because I usually use it for very long hour 6 hours++
- Nice display
- 500GB HDD
- 4 GB RAM if possible
- Chicklet design keyboard
- Black/silver color
- Free DOS
- No touch screen
- Good audio quality with decent loud speaker
- Good build quality because I tend to "abuse" the laptop a bit
- At least 3 USB ports
- Maybe have extra features like fast boot, security, spill-proof, backup, etc

Thank you in advance for all you help

That's asking for quite a lot for the budget bro

I know... At least please recommend me the best that I can get within that budget (RM1200)

Thanks

1. Prefered Brand ASUS/LENOVO/DELL
2. Budget RM2-RM2.4k
3. Usage : Surfing internet, quite heavy gaming (at least GT640m)
4. Screen size 15.6"

I'm interested on LENOVO Z500, but some PCShops told me that if I want to use for gaming, it is not suitable. Z500 is slim and easily get heating problem. Any suggestion??

These perhaps?
14"
Dell Inspiron 14-3421, B997 + Intel HD@RM1199[1.99kg], Win8SL, 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), 4-cell

Lenovo G480, B980 + Intel HD@RM1299, 2GB, 500GB, W8

Thank you very much. But, why no Asus? Is Asus no good? I know Asus makes quality laptops but how are their support in Malaysia?
