Hey guys, I've tried searching but can't seem to find a thread about this laptop.
I'm considering this laptop but haven't been able to find much reviews or discussion about it. Any existing users or others who would like to give me their 2 cents about it?
Interested in the i7 one which is listed at RM2999 on their website.

I do all sorts of things you would expect a uni student to do lol. I game but not competitively, eg. CS, Assassin's Creed etc. Work-related mostly just Microsoft office stuff so I'm not worried, but I do some photoshop. I'm quite a heavy multi-tasker. I would get the one with 8GB memory if it is upgradeable from 4GB.

If you dont mind Dell.

Check out Dell Inspiron 7447 series.

The Lenovo is good but hardware wise 7447 is better and also Lenovo do have QC problems as shown in other threads.

As the i7 in 7447 is a true quad core while the Lenovo is a dual core i7 and 7447 has a better GPU which in all gives better experience in gaming and photoshop.

Another laptop would be the Asus K401 while the CPU is less powerful than the Lenovo but it has better GPU.

Down side to the other laptop other than Lenovo is the slow HDD.

Don't get me wrong. The Lenovo is great. I'm just recommending others for you to choose from.

Check around the mobile computing thread on Lenovo laptops. It will give you an idea of what you might be facing.

Happy Hunting. biggrin.gif

Hey there! Thanks very much for your input, I was considering the dell 7447 too but I came across this so I'm reading more about it. But I just read on NVIDIA 920m in Lenovo and found that it isn't as good as I thought it would be, I dare say I have limited knowledge in this haha. This model really got me interested because of it's SSD and also slim profile at a rather good price but I'm not so sure anymore. The dell is still more appealing to me.

Thanks very much again smile.gif

QC means quality control.

Basically hinge problems or simple problems such as defective stuffs.

Can check your plan settings with battery or on charger by clicking the battery icon then go to power settings to change it.

performance drop due to heat throttling? im using the older version of this version and the hinge did pecah like biscuit crumbs. but i can really say that lenovo is really competitive to what they offer along with pricing. but one thing is the "FABULOUS" service, if u noe what i mean. Still doubting whether to stick with lenovo or not.
