er u may follow the link on my siggy ma

Yea, i had refer to your thread.

However, I wish to get some opinion on which is more worthy..

Maybe wait stocks arrive for further details and promotions!

A reseller in China just confirmed that the 4K UHD Y50 is indeed Glossy IPS screen panel!
Or it might be PLS screen panel by samsung. But who cares! The viewing angles and colours are superb!

This changes everything, at least for me. I will be praying and waiting for this model or the UHD touch model to arrive in Malaysian shore!

Just hope that they can keep the price low

That's good to know ! I'll wait and see the price difference then. Hopefully not too much of a difference. !

4 Cell is standard for Y50? Y50 covered Y40 coverage.

I'll get the FHD still tho. The cheaper price and slightly longer battery life are more important to me because I'm a student. 4K screen will be a waste for me since GTX860M couldn't support games on that.

Y50's 4-cell 54Whr battery is better than GE60's 6-cell 49Whr battery though.

So there will not be Y40 in malaysia?

Quoting storm88's reply on his sale thread.

How much more do you think the touch variant will cost compared to the non-touch one?

My guess should be around 300 to 400 more...

Y50 better bcoz of 4GB of GPU instead of 2GB GPU on MSI GE 60 Apache PRO

2 GB uses new Maxwell GPU which is more efficient and more powerful than 4 GB old Kepler GPU, check internet to know more about it

and 1080p gaming rarely uses more than 2 GB GPU ram unless you are doing autoCAD then no point getting more

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Nvidia...r.114908.0.html, Maxwell 2 GB has 10% more performance than Kepler

I am not so sure about y50 uses Maxwell or Kepler but I am pretty sure 100% a 4 GB GPU wont be any faster than 2 GB GPU GTX 860m at 1080p gaming

here is the proof 2 GB vs 4 GB http://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/...4GB-Memory-154/, and heck 2 GB perform better than 4 GB

2GB VRAM will never perform better than 4GB VRAM. It's like saying "4GB RAM is smoother than 8GB RAM because I only needs 3GB RAM", which is theoretically impossible.

And also, upcoming (as well as recently released) AAA titles are going to eat more and more VRAM. Reason being they will be built based on the latest consoles, which have more than 2GB VRAM (or Unified Memory). So the extra VRAM will come in handy IF by any chance the future games at medium~high settings need them. But I would have to agree that for currently most games won't need more than 2GB VRAM.

Anyway, the two points you stated, are actually optional and subjective to personal experience. Some users prefer a pure red backlit keyboard instead of the more fancy multicolour one. Some users prefer a slimmer laptop because they didn't need one, or if they needed one they might prefer an external one (Samsung's external DVD drive is cheap and good).

To me the most important aspects of a GAMING laptop are performance and cooling, which both are ticked by Y50, at a cheaper price than GE60 which has a worse cooling system. The tradeoff is a worse screen but then I'll get a much better looking slim design (again, this is subjective) so yeah it's a fair trade, imo.

According to forum netbookreview, the y50 uses maxwell. But that's the 2gb one. Not too sure since it's 4 now that we're Talking about.

4gb vram on the y50 is also maxwell. It's been confirmed. Someone posted in the y50 thread in NBR forum.

Sadly, 4K panel only limited to 48hz refresh rate.

Good to know !

The only downside to Y50 is the TN screen panel. If you can live with a standard Par screen panel, then this is the perfect Laptop.

After all these consideration, i think i'm just gonna get the basic model with the anti-glare FHD display. It's still the best bang for buck gaming laptop in the market.

How many ram slots is there in the Flex2 15inch and if it has a m2 slot like its predecessor? Thanks for answering..

Your Baidu link is down, probably deleted by admin. Somehow I remember someone able to switch screen of Y50 in baidu ba
