the GT740M will be better. it is a newer generation nvidia graphics card, while the GT645M is older. performance comparison GT740M = GT650M, GT740M > GT645M

price for i5 + GT740M = RM2099
price for i7 + GT645M = RM2699

so, pay extra RM600 for i7 is not worth. icon_rolleyes.gif

stick with the non touch is better. the touch screen is just a marketing gimmick, and only comes useful under a convertible laptop usage.

actually i think right, touch good also, because the laptop comes with windows8 which is optimize for touch screen devices. touch screen just an add on feature for better windows8 experience.

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.

Do you know if the Z500 has the GT740M? or is it the GT645M?

And also, is it advisable to go for the Z500, since it's only 200-300 bucks more expensive, but a larger screen.

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.

Any idea when is the GT740M version releasing?

And is there a HUGE difference in GT645M and GT740M?

By huge difference i mean that, the GT740M can play something on High, and the GT645M will lag on high.

Or are they very similar?

Is this an accurate result?

Does this mean that the difference between the 2 cards are very small?

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

What do you mean by a newer generation?

Newer generation of Z500 with the GT740M?

or Newer generation of GPU.

+1, totally not worth to get the grey imported(AP set) Y400 and end up facing major warranty issues. sweat.gif
More details info here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2491914

Wait and grab the incoming Y400/GT750m with much better performance above GTX660m. thumbup.gif
