compare to i7-QM, yes, it differs in performance. this i7 in the S56CM is an ULV processor, which is 17W dual core processor while the other is 45W quad core processor. however, the graphics card is suitable for low-mid gaming.

greet to all pro adviser,I should wait for the Y500 GT750M or just buy the Y500 GT650M? Basically how does the performance difference and how long it takes to be available at Malaysia?

getting the touch screen is just a marketing gimmick. you may use the touch screen less compared to mouse, except if you are using a convertible laptop/hybrid laptop.

so IMO, its not worth.

Buy when you need, wait if you can; that's the general rule for the IT world
We never know when new tech/ models will come out...

Not sure when the new generation of Y500 will come out as well

it depends on you if you are rush to get a laptop or not. if you not in a rush, you can wait for the GT750M, which will be release in Malaysia around May-July. the performance difference will be around 25% boost in GT750M.

Thanks to sifu [PF]T.J,nexus and the others Tomorrow I going to placed an order for the dell inspiron 15R special edition I appreciate you guys opinion.

Anyway,should I upgrade the 32GB caching SSD to SSD that has higher capacity? I mean after I bought the laptop.I plan to buy Crucial or Intel ssd as I save my money from buying the Y500

I plan to get the cooler master U3 as well,is it a good choice?

A full SSD is always faster than a hybrid SSD/HDD
So its a yes... and you can use external HDD for additional space

The U3 is a good pick (~RM70 iinm), can't go wrong there

Thanks for the information
I plan to get a ssd of capacity 128GB.so should I replace the 1TB hdd or the 32GB mSATA?

I would grab it by tomorrow if can,wondering how long does dell's delivery takes Excited to experience the new laptop

Thanks for the suggestion bro...

Hi.
1.Preferred Brand-im okay with anything
2.Budget-4k~5k
3.Usage-Video Editing(adobe ae,pp) , 3d modeling , and dota 2 sometimes
4.screen size 15-17", battery life not too short

Thanks for the help laptop pros.

Preferred Brand: Any
Budget: around RM3k
Usage: Heavy video/image editing and gaming
Preferred laptop/screen size: 15" with 1080p (if available)

Thanks

I don't think you will get to choose whether you want to take out the 1TB or 32GB mSATA as they are linked?

The Lenovo Y500 would be the best pick for your requirements, though the battery life is slightly lower than an average 15 incher's
15.6"
Lenovo Ideapad Y500, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M + (1920x1080)@RM3799, 4GB, 500GB, W8; GN36 exGPU, 120W & 170W AC adapter

*use remaining budget for RAM upgrade to 8GB, HDD upgrade to 256GB SSD; warranty extension to 3 years, and you will have a mean monster

Can consider these:
15.6"
Acer V3-571G-736b8G1T, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT730M(DDR3) + (1920x1080 IPS) @RM2899[2.6kg], 8GB, 1TB, W8

Dell Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm)@RM3199, 8GB, backlit keyboard optional, W8

*between these two, the Acer would be the better pick because of the better screen, IF video and image editing is your priority

I googled it and saw they said it has a daughter board that connect to the mSATA card? so we can upgrade the mSaTa card?

yes. normally mSATA is upgradeable. they come with RAM like module and its installed in the motherboard.

Thanks for the reply So can I upgrade it to higher capacity ssd and use it as main boot drive? or it just limited to use as ssd caching
