QUOTE(Zelmel @ Aug 15 2019, 06:24 PM) Hi 128GB SSD I believe is 2242 form factor DRAMless drive. So better get 2280 256GB (PM981, SN720 or 760p) which is much better. In general higher capacity also means slightly faster speed and better enduranceFor those who upgrade their M.2 SSD from 128GB to 256GB? How the step is? What program you use to copy the window into the new SSD? One more question for ZM Fong I saw one of your message said EiT store sell cheaper RAM but not recommended to buy from them, why is that? Their review look okay and legit. EITstore has cheap prices...but the packaging got no bubble wrap...and they won't reply your messages...I mean if you're fine with that then go for it (I bought things from them before) |

QUOTE(Zelmel @ Aug 16 2019, 12:05 AM) I saw in YouTube channel (hardware Canuck), now when getting a laptop, sign up a Microsoft account, then change the SSD, do fresh install, log back in the account, and Microsoft will recognize you new machine and activate it? no need sign up also can, key is embedded into mobo BIOS |

QUOTE(Quang1819 @ Sep 16 2019, 11:36 PM) Seems like there's a common problem with Y740 and not sure if it's applicable to other Legion or Lenovo gaming models. Fresh install Windows?The case that I've come across is that when the screen goes to sleep, it won't wake up anymore after moving mouse, trackpad and typing on keyboard. But the fan is still running nonetheless. Any solid fix to this or known causal to this issue? |

QUOTE(boombaye @ Sep 24 2019, 12:33 PM) 9300h + 1660ti + 512gb ssd + 16gb ram for about RM4.5k with the code along with the freebies (bag,mouse,headset, premium 2 year warranty) worth it? The deal is decent, but you can also buy 81SX004WMJ from stores. RM4.8k (lowest in Shopee) with i7 and 144Hz panel. But 8GB RAM and 1TB+128GB storage |

QUOTE(Quang1819 @ Sep 24 2019, 11:06 PM) Btw, I just noticed that the screen brightness of Y740 is really dim. Though Lenovo claims it has 500nits? Full specs? Only 9th gen model has 500 nits display (peak brightness)Even my old Y400 with 200+nits has way brighter screen than my Y740 Edit: On comparison with the adjustment bar, basically Y740's level 7 brightness is Y400's level 1  The brightness scaling is exponential if I remembered correctly |
