QUOTE(Gmruleme @ May 2 2013, 12:22 AM) Thanks for the suggestion +1 the Z400 has core i7 option and it comes with touch screen option too. but not recommended as this thin laptop can trap lots of heat, useless touch screen feature and the core i7 may even idle at higher temperatures. if you are rendering graphical works, the processor doesnt help much but the graphics card do. processor only helps if you are a hard coder which you have to compile long codes.I think I'll go for lenovo Y400.. backlit keyboard seems tempting, if Z400 has i7 option I'll consider.  if I go for i5.. I think there'll be different in performance (rendering works?).. and i7 temperature wll reach 55C even idle state?? wtf???????   that means I must get a laptop cooler fan.. -.- if i7 does a better job than i5 then I'll definitely choose i7 since I've the budget.. >< but overheat... sighhhhhhh sounds scary...  read this topic about core i7 idle temperature and guide to maintain your laptop. |

QUOTE(tabs @ May 2 2013, 08:30 PM) Was thinking at y400 or 500. Hmm. If Without Hd ips which wan is recommend? Previous was recommend on Lenovo so now looking for other type. Hmm. Any laptop with lighter weight Y500 is recommended if you want full HD. someone is selling single graphics card option with lenovo local warranty with the price of RM28xx at the garage sales section.for lighter weight laptops, you might like the lenovo Z500 but the screen is not full HD though. |

QUOTE(tabs @ May 2 2013, 10:56 PM) actually i a bit blur on the full HD and not full hd. just the normal screen right? if without full hd i think almost same spec right for the z500 and y500. which type u recommend for me? full HD native resolution is 1920x1080, while normal HD is 1280x720. laptops nowadays are fitted with 1366x768 HD screen.i mean if don't take the full hd in consideration. plan to buy something that is last longer and tahan thank raymondif you really want gaming, then the Y500 is a better choice. if you want something lightweight, then it will be Z500. |

QUOTE(tabs @ May 2 2013, 11:06 PM) not really in gaming purpose for the laptop as i having desktop as well. this is usually use for easy paper working and some light game. overheating will be greater in Z500 as it is thinner compared to Y500. lenovo supports international warranty, but still the T&C applies. read this for more info about IWS.in term pro and con. i see that z500 less problem then y500? like overheating? and for the warranty, lenova support oversea warranty like UK? |
