QUOTE(ellimistx99 @ May 7 2013, 02:49 PM) Hello everybody, Suggest u to get upcoming Y500/GT750m selling around RM28xx with bigger and better full HD screen, better cooling to suite ur needs. If ur budget is tight, then get Y400/GT750m/freeDOS selling around 23xx and use extra cash for CM u2 or u3 cooler, mSATA SSD to improve system responsiveness, upgrade to 3 yrs onsite warranty. I'm thinking of buying this laptop. Can any of you tell me about your experiences with it? Specifically I'm looking for information about warranty as well as how cool it runs. I'll be doing moderate gaming. Probably HoN and Dragon Age, Sim City, and when the new GTA comes out, GTA5. I'm looking for a workhorse, something that will be on all the time. EDIT: Specifically I was looking for information of the y400. |

QUOTE(slimfox @ May 8 2013, 03:00 AM) wouldn't the y500 gt750m at 28xx not have 2nd graphics card? better get the one wit sli config for full enjoyment of this amazing lappy Yeap, Y500 with GT750m sli is the best for those who can afford. For those with tight budget, can get basic model Y500 with single card GT750m, later can add swappable graphic card(GT750m) & 170w adapter when available for performance boost. For new Y400/GT750m, probably no optional swappable GT750m as no where to be seen around the web.  This post has been edited by ytlay: May 8 2013, 03:51 AM |

QUOTE(slimfox @ May 8 2013, 10:00 AM) Sigh then it would be a grey set cause Lenovo Malaysia only sell the Y500 with SLI only. I would recommend getting a local set cause it is quite a huge investment. The upcoming official local set Y500 come in 2 variants, basic model with GT750m and SLI model with GT750m sli. But that is my opinion since its always up to the buyer to decide.  Refer to latest updates here: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2491914 This post has been edited by ytlay: May 8 2013, 05:45 PM |

QUOTE(efariz @ May 8 2013, 10:59 PM) which one not easy? Both also not easy. u need to get a compatible intel wifi card for Y400 since not all intel wifi card can be used even with the same model. Steps to unlock the bios are very risky and not easy to master for a newbie. This post has been edited by ytlay: May 8 2013, 11:11 PM |

cheap but no 1 to 1 exchange if defects, questionable after sales service and warranty claims.
Its better to get the upcoming local set to save ur headache. Yours choice.  This post has been edited by ytlay: Aug 2 2013, 05:31 PM |
