QUOTE(noorimanyosh @ Apr 8 2013, 10:55 PM) which graphic card are the better one??their price respectively?? 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.

QUOTE(raymondtong94 @ Apr 8 2013, 10:40 PM) 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.

Y400 also supports a swappable bay for dvd drive, hard disk bay, extra graphics card for better gaming performance or cooling fan.

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

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?

More details info here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2491914Wait and grab the incoming Y400/GT750m with much better performance above GTX660m.
