Preferred Brand : Any I guess .. ( Is ILLEGEAR or Alienware better ? )
Budget : Around RM 5k ( The cheaper the better of course )
Usage : Heavy Microsoft Office use , gaming ( HoN , Dota 2 , Maple Story , DmC reboot edition , etc ) , movie , and for Mechanical programming use ...
Preferred laptop/screen size : 15 to 17 inch ( Is 15 inch good enough for gaming and moving ? )
Additional requirements : Keyboard must be nice to type ( I have no idea why I'm so choosy on this lol ) , overall not-so-heavy ( Reasonable weight to carry around ) , most important is speed speed speed ! I hate lags !! I guess storage isn't a huge problem as we can use external hard disk to save movie ...

1. Preferred Brand - Any
2. Budget - RM 3000 below
3. Usage - Microsoft Office , Gaming ( Dota 2 and HoN mostly ) , Watching movies , and some Engineering programming use ...
4. Preferred laptop/screen size - 15 inch
I have a question actually ,
1) I heard that the current Lenovo Y500 is already downgrade compare to the last Lenovo Y500 , right ? If it is , is there a change in price ? Is it still worth it to buy Lenovo Y500 ?
2) I also heard that the graphic card in Lenovo Y500 is already build in , meaning it is "un"-removable for future upgrade . Is this true ?
3) When is Lenovo Y510p coming out ?

QUOTE(nexus2238 @ Jul 29 2013, 09:51 AM) 1. ??? Y500 is Y500. What downgrade do you mean? Whether it is worth it or not is totally up to you. All we can tell you is that Y500 can handle your usage requirement. Local set that is within your budget is this spec: Y500, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT750M(GDDR5) + (1920x1080)@RM2999, 8GB, 1TB, W8, red backlit, swappable ODD, 120w psu, 2 yrs 2. Unless you go for high end gaming laptop using MXM GPU, all GPU in laptop are built in, and cannot be upgraded. Read this: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/863032The thread is a bit old, but is still accurate. 3. https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2851949Read this for things related to Lenovo Y series. If you're not in a hurry, just wait. Windows 8 ? Can it run Windows 7 Ultimate ? I heard that Windows 8 is still unstable . Do they provide CD for installation if I ever format my laptop in the future ? This post has been edited by juniorlcq: Jul 30 2013, 11:54 PM |

QUOTE(nexus2238 @ Jul 31 2013, 09:52 AM) Of course you could install any OS on it you want (as long as you can get all the necessary drivers). But it don't come with W7, you need get your own OS. Yeah W8 is soooo unstable that those machine of 100 million W8 license holders must be crumbling in dust  Lenovo don't provide OD anymore for consumer class laptop, iinm. Put it this way, unless you are buying business class laptop, which provide W7P using downgradable right of W8P, you could not find new laptop with W7 (directly from brands) anymore. Oh . If Lenovo don't provide drivers' CD anymore then how should I install them if I were to format them in the future @.@ ? What's your opinion ? Should I go for Windows 8 or stick with Windows 7 Ultimate ? This post has been edited by juniorlcq: Jul 31 2013, 03:58 PM |

QUOTE(setheo @ Jul 31 2013, 03:58 PM) Thanks for the info. Any idea when Y510p will be available? That will definitely help to extend battery life.. Yeah when will Lenovo Y510p be available in Malaysia ? Do you guys know the price if I just go for 1 graphic card instead of 2 ( perhaps replace it with a SSD or ODD , not sure which one still , any opinion? ) ?? I guess with 1 2GB graphic card is more than enough to play any games on above average settings , correct me if I'm wrong >.< I play Dota 2 and HoN mostly though .
