Lenovo Y500 has quite decent heat profile for a laptop aim for gaming. U3 will also help.

Glossy screen vs matte screen seriously is a matter of personal preference.
Some people (like me) can't stand having everything reflect from the glossy screen, but some like the more vibrant colour (not necessary more accurate) coming out from glossy.
It's something that only you can decide.

Y500 don't have touch screen, but it is within your budget

G480, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT635M@RM1899, 4GB, 1TB (5400rpm), W8, 2 yrs warranty

Prices are RSP. This mean the price stated here are the "recommended" price by the brands. But re-sellers usually sell lower than this price, and it is up to you to negotiate for the best price

From the pictures, can't really tell which is better
Both obviously suffer from the poor viewing angles of the TN panel
Screen really is something that you have to see in person to decide whether you like it or not. Whatever picture you see of a screen through "another screen" is being influenced by the quality of the "another screen"

Envy SpectreXT 13-2215TU, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD@RM2899[1.39kg], 4GB, W8,backlit keyboard

Build quality actually is good. This is actually one of the most "value for money" ultrabook around, consider its weight, the 128G SSD, ...

you are welcome. i think most of the time i contribute the most.

Thank you very much! But I tot Y500 has GT650M. Why is it GT750M ad and what's the difference? And the swappable graphic card is it GT750M too?

Any other brands/models that can be compared with Y500? Bcoz I'm afraid that i'll miss out other better models if i'm just focusing on 1 brand.

GT750M is a newer generation of graphics card. rumor is that it has better performance than the GTX660M. the swappable graphics card is a GT750M too. the swappable graphics cards have codes, GN36 is GT650M, GN37 is GT750M.
