any diff between ddr3 and gddr3?

No, if you are talking about VRAM.

edit: architecturally, there is, but practically in term of performance, hardly any.

Are you reading properly?
I said Y510P has GDDR5.

Why do you ask us? Go ask Acer

owh, soli.. erm, will there b any difference in gaming performance then?

Yes, especially at FHD resolution.

msi ge60 20c shud hav the same gt750m as y510p right?

1. Preferred Brand
-not choosy, but i'm more comfortable with asus, acer, dell

2. Budget
-at most 3.3K.. cheaper is better,

3. Usage
-HD/blu ray movies able to run without lag,
-dota 2 run on highest setting, planned to play max payne 3 on decent setting..not a heavy gamer tho
-photoshop,file conversions
-heavy multitasking (chrome run on many tabs, with music playing & softwares run at same time)

4. Preferred laptop/screen size
-15" and below since im planning to extend the display to external monitor anyway

basically i'm looking for laptop that has processing power that perhaps can match a desktop..i've been using dual core amd turion laptop for past 4 years & im like blown away after borrowing my sister i5 desktop. so smooth n no hiccups when multitask.lol

thx

Check to see are there GDDR5 in the spec.

Btw, the Y510P is spec with GT755M now.

*For the Lenovo, use remaining budget to upgrade to at least 8GB RAM, and switch the HDD with SSD
*For the MSI, upgrade to at least 8GB RAM, will benefit your photoshop work
