yeah. the basic 1TB HDD.

yeah you wont run low storage on HDD.

but i wonder, where did your SSD come from?

Don't mean to douse the enthusiatic discussion on Z400 / 500.
But anyone who plan to buy them need to see this video.
It tell you how to get access to the RAM, HDD, and clean dust ...
The video is 18min.
User has to take out ODD, take out keyboard, before taking out back panel.
Good luck

regarding the looks, the Z400 will be thinner compared to Y400. for the keyboard, both have backlit keyboards but Z400 is white coloured while Y400 is red coloured. screen quality is the same as both are 1366x768 HD resolution. for heat, the heat produced on Z400 will be greater than Y400 due to its thin size. adding on batteries, the Z400 battery is non-removable but Y400 do. Y400 also supports a swappable bay for dvd drive, hard disk bay, extra graphics card for better gaming performance or cooling fan.

the Z500 has GT645M graphics card currently. if you want performance, then its not advisable to get Z500 till a version with GT740M is released.

it is a minor difference between GT645M and GT740M.

restrict the 2 cards before compare

quite small, the FPS difference is around 1-5 FPS but i expect the newer generation will be more power efficient.

Not a very big difference.
But GT740M is better than GT645M
GT740M is equal to GT650M but the 700 series is newer and from what I know improves battery life (uses less energy).

But as you know, Z500 is 15.6'' and is has a numpad while Z400 is 14'' and doesn't have a numpad.

icic. but the performance is z400 win is it? just strong in graphic card. all the spec almost same, just the graphic card got different.

Z400 with touch or what?

Assuming without touch, it should be priced at RM2099:

Z400, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty; colors: chocolate

a 120gb SSD typically costs around RM360+ ...

You won't void warranty if there's no sticker on the screws, It will usually say "warranty void if tampered". From my experience with another Lenovo Y480, the HDD can be easily changed (no sticker on screw so it's safe) but not sure about the Z400

Didn't get my hint on posting the price, that the one you saw at LYP was overpriced?

Like I said, it won't void if there are no stickers on the mounting screws. This goes for most computer components

1TB HDD +120GB SSD I don't think is viable for that laptop. You can check whether it has a removable optical drive or not (DVD drive)

The HDD mount is exactly the same as Y480 and I'm sure pretty much most Lenovo laptops. Can be easily switched with SSD

The display is pretty good, slightly yellowish. Have to do some colour adjustment. Brightness is not a problem. The main issue lies on TN panel, the viewing angle is bad as usual.

The sound is rather dull. Not as crisp as other mainstream laptop, but bassy.

Yeah, viewing angle is not good. But for the speakers, loud as hell, even though it's not the clearest xD

But adjusting the EQ for each song makes the sound better.

depends if you are urgent to get the laptop or not. the Y400 will be better as GT750M is better for higher game settings.

since Y400 has better cooling than Z400, so it is up to you to make the decision. no need to wait for haswell as haswell will be released in Q3 2013.

For sure Y400. Despite it's normal form factor (bulkier than Z400), you have more upgrade options for the dock.
Another problem for Z400 is hot touchpad. After you use the laptop for sometimes, the touchpad becomes "hot" and can be annoying to your finger. 

Both have bad viewing angle. Considering it has big GPU powerhouse, using TN panel is normal (production cost cutting).

Just posted Z400 review.

C'n'P-ed from the price list, to be honest.
Thanks for the reminder. I believe yes, other than Pentium.

Screen - Is there any dead pixel?
Keyboard - Is every alphabet working?
Webcam - Working?
Temperature - Overheating when stressed?

These are the things I shall check, generally.
