Want better performance? Go for the Y400.
Z400 is slim. Quad core generate lots of heat. Not a good combo.

QUOTE(raymondtong94 @ Apr 28 2013, 10:46 PM) 1. Y400 uses 14" WLED HD screen while Y500 uses 15" Full HD WLED screen. Thanks.2. Y400 has no numpad while the Y500 do. 3. Y500 has better cooling due to its larger internal space than Y400. 4. Y500 comes with 2x GT650M/GT750M SLi as standard while the Y400 needs you to buy it separately. |

QUOTE(reverie88 @ Apr 28 2013, 10:56 PM) better in terms of cooling and gaming performance. the Z400 is thinner, so it traps heat easily, making the core i7 not a perfect combo if you intend to game only. also, compared to GT740M on Z400, the Y400 uses GT750M, which surpasses/on par with the performance of a GTX660M. |
