Sifus, my friend is eyeing on both the Asus S551LB and N550JV both of the i7 version.

Just want to confirm with the sifus here, the S551LB is using the Intel® Core™ i7-4500U Processor while the N550JV is using the Intel® Core™ i7-4702MQ Processor. So this means that the N550JV is the one with an actual quad core processor right? The S551LB is just a dual core right since the prefix of the model of the processor is U?

Both of the laptops on i7 are in the range of 3.5k. Both is quite similar. The only major difference i see is the graphic card, N550JV is on GT750m while S551LB is on GT740m. And the N550JV having 3 usb 3.0 port while S551LB only has 2.

So sifus, which is actually a better choice between these two? My friend does some programming, mainly using Eclipse and occasionally plays Diablo 3 and Dota 2.

Please help me to advice him which 1 is better.

Yup. Comparing these 2 laptops. I checked the Asus website, both just 0.2 kg difference iinm. And may I know the diffence between HQ and MQ prefix in the processor model?

Points to tell my friend.
1) The touch screen of S551LB is not needed in his case.
2) Although both i7, but N550VJ is the true quad core.
Will try to advise him again later.
Thanks sifus!

sifus, just wanna ask, the Lenovo Z510 malaysia original set got i7 variant? Coz I search lelong.com and I only find the i5 variant of it. If Malaysia do sell local i7 variant set, how much does it cost?

Sifus, asking this question just for knowledge, hope u guys don't mind.

How to know if a laptop dissipates heats well? This type of things not shown in specs sheet right? I tried google-ing this question but not much answer. So looking for explanation from sifus.

MSI GE60-2oc
-Intel® Core™ i5-4200M (2.5GHz, max. boost up to 3.1 GHz, 3MB L3 Cache)
-NVIDIA® GeForce® Fermi GT750M 2GB GDDR5
-8GB DDR3 (2 x 4GB DDR3)

Lenovo Y510p
- Intel® Core™ i7-4700 MQ (2.4Ghz, max boost up to 3.4GHz)
- NVIDIA® GeForce® GT750M 2GB DDR 5
- 8GB DDR3 ( 1 x 8GB DDR3)

Sifus, between these 2 laptops. In terms of gaming, which has the better performance? Why MSI's Nvidia graphic card got the word Fermi? What does it means?

Between these 2, in terms of gaming and cooling system (heat dissipation), which 1 does sifus recommend?

Can't seem to find any website to compare these 2 laptops.

Don't know if I'm asking at the right place. But when will Lenovo start selling the Z510 i7 variant locally?

hmmm...i7-4702u or i7-4702mq? Not suppose to be this processor 4th Generation Intel Core i7-4700MQ Processor (3.40 GHz 400 MHz 6 MB)?

Meaning that Z510 i7 variant will mostly be i7-4702HQ/MQ... with HQ and MQ prefix it means at it is quad core right? Just maybe lower Ghz since it is undervolted. Am I right? Currently eyeing on Asus S551LB and Lenovo Z510. Design wise quiet similar. But Z510's variant of i7 is cheaper than S551LB's.

Yup. Paying more for dual core only. But maybe it's battery has longer battery life due to it's dual core compare to Z510. Thanks sifu. I'll continue with my research.
