I mean like how do i get the stuff below:-

gpuz, 3Dmark11, Hwinfo temperature reading and Furmark stress with gpuz & Hwinfo

A lot of people asking me to post them. hahahaha

Eh bro, ask uncle Google lah

dont worry bro, im also using it.

But wanna gather more info from lowyat forums as well

Do remember to check the I/O ports on your laptop (DVI/USB2.0/3.0/etc). Run some benchmarks to see whether your laptop has around the same score as those online benchmarks

Do update on the battery life also ya

thank you for your tips! will definitely be useful to me!

Up to you. I believe the hardware benchmark can be gotten from other sites, so I focus more on my thoughts about it, and temperature control (which a lot of reviews don't include it).

just wondering,is y400 has the touchpad gesture,jusy like z400?

Hi, could anyone tell me if there are any alternating colours to theZ400 apart from the dark chocolate? Everything is perfect with this except the colour... Also, could I put a sticker on if there aren't any more choices? Thanks.

Hi, there is only one color available for this model which is dark choco.

That's alright! Just found this website called hydraskins to paste something over it. Based in malaysia too!

The dark chocolate is barely visible. You will find it black most of the time.

how is the z400 battery life? is the screen really bad?

Hey guys, update on the battery life

Don't be disappointed since you're looking at a fast processor with only a 4 cell battery

Heavy usage from 100% to less than 15% (playing games) took 1.45-2hours. - On High Performance power option

Very light usage, just downloading stuff, working on ms office and so on, also music on earbuds. around 4-5 hours. (can't give you an exact time cause i wasn't really timing! sorry) - On Power Saver option

Normal usage, movies, music on speakers (FULL!) and browsing the net. Around 3hours + (this is what you would normally get) - On Balanced power option

Btw guys. On Power Saver option, the cpu runs around 1.2ghz and uses 1 core most of the time, if it needs extra power, it still stays at 1.2ghz but starts running both cores.

On Balanced option, it goes around 1.4 to 1.8. Normally I see it around 1.6ghz. And same with the cores here, uses one unless I need the extra juice.

On Performance mode, it stays below 2ghz and then goes upto 3.2 if it needs the extra power. and even on performance, it's on 1 core unless you're using heavy apps. Then it changes to both cores.

Please do correct me if I'm wrong.

Btw, I need some help with furmark. |:
I think it's using the intel hd graphics instead of the nvidia card. It's only getting 8-11 fps on the 720 test.

Thanks for the nice review, btw is it u upgrade the ram by urself?The shop told it so difficult to open and might void warranty.

It is difficult to open
No, it won't void warranty if you are careful. Just need to remove keyboard, ODD, then back panel. Only 30+ screws

I asked the shop to upgrade.
So you may ask the shop to upgrade the RAM on the spot?
Voiding warranty is the shop responsible after all.

(Accessing heatsink) But it is kinda easy to open, easily than those need to take off monitor.

The shop i bought refused to upgrade the ram as they scared void warranty. I guess have to do it myself. Youtube! here i come!
