I changed 3 laptops in the past month
1) Asus G73Sw Horror Story, please read this, very interesting and scary! Never buying an ASUS in my life anymore! They say they are amongst the most reliable laptops...yeah right
2) After getting my money back for that Asus Notebook, I bought a Toshiba Satellite L750 with an Intel i7 2670QM @ 2.20 GHz./ nVIDIA GT525 M 2 GB but this notebook's cooling was horrible! On Idle, the CPU temp was 67-70 C and while watching a movie it would reach up to 90C! Imagine if I would play a game! Mind you, I am always at home and the Air Con is on @ 24C temperature. So I refunded that laptop as well...
3) Finally, I went back to the mall, and the Lenovo IdeaPad Y570 was just released and the price was good with good features. Went home and opened it, I was more than pleased with the build quality, the keyboard, the screen, and the performance! This is one quality product well built with good battery life and specs
4) I then saw another Model of the IdeaPad Y570 which has an SSD as well + a 750 GB HDD so I refunded my current one and got the Y570 with the SSD built in. Then I removed the built in 750 GB HDD and put in my Kingston KC100 120 GB SATA-III SSD as the built in SSD is SATA-II. Then I installed Windows 7 Pro x64 on the Kingston KC100 SSD and I am very happy with the results!!
I am a new happy Lenovo user now ![]()
