The new ROG is using IPS panel ? Lenovo thread said the refreshed model should be using a better TN panel. So I assume it will be like normal TN panel quality which is fine. Besides that, I believe dual channel 16gb cost > IPS
panel.

Y50 is also using dual fan cooling. Thickness wise, isn't both also 20mm+- ? It is almost about the same thickness
But storage wise, I think Y50 lose cause there is only 1 storage option. No mSata or m2 slot.

If slim is an option, I think HP Omen is also quite good. Its built quality is really as of premium class. I tested it out, the casing and design is really of premium level. Doesn't feel like consumer grade laptop. (The price is also ridiculously overpriced )

You mean 20mm right. 20cm is huge...

Yea, HP Omen. I just hated the ports designated area........ and the overall design to make it look thin....

HAHAHA Yea I meant 20mm+-
Thanks for pointing out.
HP Omen quality is really like a premium laptop, just the spec doesn't pair up with the price

Well, straight up SSD . I won't be getting it anyways because of the ports.... straight turn off

True, the spec doesn't pair up with the price.

just pass by all it in klcc
saw the y50-70 just RM 3603
same price same spec with TS post
can't wait to buy it

Do you test out the unit ? How is the new display ?

Omen do come with large SSD. Price wise, it is on in the same range as the ROG 501 which I do not see anyone calling it overpriced (same class as the MSI slim Ghost series).

Isn't the 512gb version more expensive than G501JW ?

501 comes with only 128gb of ssd.
the price of the ssd alone makes the spec reasonable and not overpriced (look at the price of ultrabooks with that ssd size)

nope, but what I surprise is the price

So conclusion is that Y50(59-442222) display already better? Someone can confirm this? Since last generation display really sucks.
Planning to buy soon , either Z5 / Y50 / GE60 or 62 , of course Y50 is the best price that can get within this spec. Just worry about the display.

Manufacturers are using 1,000,000,000,000 bytes as approximation of 1TB. To find the actual physical size in TB, you have to divide that figure by 1024*1024*1024*1024. That's ~909GB; exactly your total size.

Guys i didn't really understand what's wrong with the Y50 display , I have checked one unit and actually i haven't noticed something wrong. Kindly someone explain to me ... and how can i confirm that i am buying the new and original version of the Y50? thanks in advance

the remove ODD at last which is much better and cheaper... but as long as 15" seems ok for me.. looks good. until the review came out.. then we know hows is actual performance, heat and everything

Not sure if this is the right place to post this. But this is meant to help those with CPU throttling issues on the Acer Nitro.

I have a Acer Nitro VN7-591G-744N with a i7-4720HQ processor. Once in a while randomly, the CPU is stuck at 798 – 837 MHz. CPU fan runs very slowly. Power Options are always set to High Performance or Balanced, not Power Saver. Even when I run any programs or games, the CPU is always stuck at 798 – 837 MHz. I’ve tried reformatting it but it doesn’t help.




You can fix this using ThrottleStop. Uncheck the option called BD Prochot and Click Save. You do not have to click the Turn On Button. From then on it should work properly.

no it's not. we sold quite couple of units.

It's ABIT better than before but still sucky

aftershock still not yet update?

Still waiting review of Y50 !
TN screen really sucky?

same here, I am waiting too
I am willing to buy it but the screen thing stopped me

Im using Y50 but the older version, i must say this unless you're used to IPS screen, like me (previously using v nitro & msi ge60, both using IPS display) u dont have to worry about the TN panel. Yes when comparing side by side it'll look ugly but unless u really need an IPS display (designer, etc) then u should buy other laptop OR upgrade the TN to IPS panel for roughly around 300-350. but one thing that i love about the Y50 is the temperature when gaming, it is superb, thats what you should look for if u plan to game on it for a long time.
