Oh yea, quite a big difference. Though ultimately the price difference is up to you since you are the buyer.

Two since don't know which i5 it is. and again Happy Hunting.

Well, as games going now. The extra horse power is good IMHO if he is going to use it for a few years. I reckon getting a better CPU is somehow "future proofing" well at least for a while. Since, the price is not that far

Look up to one of my post with the GPU comparison for future consideration. Happy hunting my man.

Usually, the model with MQ/HQ, H, M is better in the sense that it has more raw power compared to the U, Core M, Y as this is the low power model which also means less raw power but better battery life and less heat.

You do have something up your sleeves.

If I'm not mistaken. Only if you do 3D rendering then GPU is more important but if you are drawing and stuff it uses more CPU and RAM (Correct me if i'm wrong). Try checking the garage sale section, see whether people still carry the i7 version.

Wut?!?! My 3 to 4 years old Hp DV6 still kicking and doing fine. Can even game on it albeit mid to low settings.

Yup, Envy line not good for gaming as the thermal management is bad. I'm using Envy TS 15.

You have good taste sir.

More space for the heat to dissipate and also more space for the air to flow can cram better cooling system.

It is using the celeron type proc. Don't wory much about heat but do some maintenance from time to time like dust off the dust. If you are doing basic stuff, the proc wont heat up much.

I game on it 5-8 hours most of the time. , AMD proc compare with the same performance of its counterpart Intel will be more hotter because of the size of the transistor.

Open up the laptop and use brush and compress air to dust it off.

Should be able to. But SSD now is quite expensive, unless you get a caddy to swap your optical hardrive for SSD (Install OS in it and some Apps for fast response.)

Err, if new dont need to do so. Open once in a while to clean it up. As for warranty seal, you need to call the service center to ask. If you are scared then send it in for maintenance since under warranty. It will be FOC.

Err no with his budget. He cant get gx860m, it was a typo from pandera999.

Yes, you can. But you need to clone your HDD stuff to your SSD then unmount your HDD and replace it with the SSD and a rule of thumb for me SSD price is around RM 2 / 1GB so imagine 500 GB SSD. Though liteon SSD is cheaper than the rest, check it out i suppose.

Err, can give example of the games you'll be playing because high end games and slim laptop doesnt fit unless you don't mind spending ALOT and some cons.

Very hard to find the weight limit below 1.5Kg and still can game..... unless Your budget allow you to go around RM10k....

I hardly think 1.5 Kg and below with decent FPS is possible.... Your online game is? RO2? Hearthstone?
