Ahh, no worries, even the Nvidia GT740M is quite capable of mid settings in most current games yo brows.gif
And its the weakest one among the lot recommended to you  brows.gif
Definitely not haha laugh.gif
For more details, please read my siggy, the one on Haswell icon_rolleyes.gif

It's actually i5-3230m vs i5-4200u. 3rd gen is a powerhouse if compared to 4th gen but what about the energy consumption difference? Will there be a huge gap between the battery life? Both using same 6 cells battery.

i am wondering if 6 cell battery offer longer battery life than 4 cell?

thanks for your recommendations, but i found difficulties after you recommendations, that is i can't found any review about the laptops and even tech specs of lenovo models~  ohmy.gif even though i found it in the computer shop, but no brochure for reference too. what can i do if i want to do comparisons for these laptops?

would you recommend Lenovo Z400 touch, Z500 touch, G400s and Z480 for my usage? since these models are still within my budget. thanks. biggrin.gif

Yes.

SSD = Solid State Drive. Something like a big pendrive that is slowly replacing HDD now.
Since it doesn't involve any rotating parts, its quieter, more solid, cooler, way faster and lighter. Only drawback is that is more expensive and the capacity is lower for the time being nod.gif

You will have to replace the HDD inside the notebook with the SSD, better ask shop people to do for you if you are not familiar with it  icon_rolleyes.gif

If we install the OS in SSD and soft wares in HDD,will the loading time for softwares be shorter or it's just the same?

you will need to replace HDD with SSD, so dont think the laptop of your choice have such large capacity for that. fyi, SSD is at least 8 times faster than HDD, so whatever u install in SSD will be faster smile.gif smile.gif
