Huh..?

Actually im replying to above 'proud' post but i cancelled it. Dunno how to delete previous post.


But have u got the new y500. Whats the temperature during heavy games

Abit la... Dota2 fan here bro..


memang la bro. xD

referring to me ah?

Nah, the old one with 650m...
So far never reached beyond 80'C yet... On average it's usually around 6x-ish with extended gameplay reaching 7x-ish...

good for u

Thank You !!

LOL is better

looks like y500 with gt750m started to enter the local market, both single & sli sets
and someone mentioned in another thread that y400 successor will be equipped with haswell

wondering when will the y500 haswell come out n how will it priced. worth the upgraded if price higher or same. optimus available for single gpu.....

i don't think that there'll be y500 with haswell processor... as the one that will come equipped with it is y410p instead of y400, so most probably y510 will be exist

Ok, i mean y510p...when will come out.n if it come out i think it will replace y500 n with new design.

can you guys gimme a bit recommendation on which model should i take..

-i want a long lasting laptop
-im a casual gamer
-does touch screen really matter or just a marketing gimmick??
-budget around 2.5K but can topup lil bit
-light and not bulky design is most welcomed
-all those model got backlit keyboard right??
-large screen better or not??

here's my take...

1. hard to predict, but expect these lenovo will need to be replaced as early as 2 years, as late as 3 years.
2. I would suggest Y400 for this, unless graphics capability is really not that important for you.
3. Touch on Win8 are most welcomed, but I would say on a laptop like these? touch is not important... probably you'll use touchpad more than the screen
4. light and not bulky, don't know how it goes comparing both Z400 and Y400... but expect Z500 to be bulky and heavier. I would recommend either Z400 or Y400 if size is an issue.
5. I dont know about Z400.
6. I'll prefer larger screen, smaller will need some time to get used to for me coz I'm from desktop scene. but if you're from laptop area, 14" should be good enough. Larger doesn't mean better as well, usually larger screen comes with FullHD and you won't game with FullHD anyway with that graphics. So maybe smaller will reduce the aliasing (I think...), but really... it boils down to your preference.

1. Depends on how you treat it... My old Acer junk still working since '08. My AW died after serving me since '09 a month back, hence my decision to acquire the Y500 in the first place.

2. Casual gamer..? Define your level of 'casual' as I know of some friends who are casual gamers as well but they emphasise on either the visual aspect or the game or just the fun of it. So sorry there mate, hard to pinpoint casual from my POV here.

3. Personally I don't see the point of touchscreen on lappies. Sure, it's nice to have but it's NOT exactly a necessity. It's obviously needed on tabs and little slabs we call as smartphones but on a laptop..? Nah, we already have a physical keyboard and external mouse for gaming already.

4. You can't go wrong with the Y400 with that budget of yours.

5. Heck, I don't even find my Y500 to be bulky at all. It's a major improvement from my old M15x which was a friggin' block of mass.

6. I know Y has it, others I've yet to look on.

7. Depends on your personal preference. Some like it small and compact, some like it big. Keep in mind that bigger screen tend to put a little more load on your GPU as it'll have to cover the pixel real estate. But with today's standards of the GPU, it's not really that noticeable.

tldr : Your own cash, go "test drive" some demo units before deciding.

Edit : Grammar and spacing.
