QUOTE(erwinlee @ Sep 20 2014, 02:43 PM) Okay, then its gtx 850m vs gtx 860m. 2 way to determine which is better. 1st, look at the number, bigger is obviously better. 2nd, look at gpu benchmark website/ google. Okay, on a serious note. Both laptop are good, it all depends on which you prefer. dell have the 14" ips display which imo might be better than the display of the 3.5k version of y50 which many people dislike. Y50 on the other hand have the better gtx860m 4gb gddr5 while dell only have gtx850m ddr3. This post has been edited by ck.chunkeat: Sep 20 2014, 03:03 PM

Hi guys, I'm planning to buy Lenovo Y50. But my only concern is to buy :
1) Free DOS version with 500GB (about RM3300) or 2) Windows 8.1 with 1TB (about RM 3799)
The price difference is about RM400-RM500, quite huge. My only concern is what do I do with free DOS ? Since I'm not a big fan of Windos 8, can I install Windows 7 on it etc? Need help sifus, thanks.

QUOTE(kwayteow @ Sep 20 2014, 01:32 AM) Hi All, sharing my experience again =) I call the Lenovo Helpdesk to double confirm the way i register my extended warranty is correct. And they had a checked and told me the online registration system is not up to date, therefore not able to recognize my serial number. So they gave me a solution to send my details to the warranty department to register manually <ASEAN@lenovoreg.com>.
