    Hp envy dv6 7273ca

    I own a 4 year old Pavillion DV6 2005Ax,and i can definately vouch for their superior build quality.Although,i am unsure about the G series. It broke on me recently,although i guess i can get it mended,but i believe i may have to shell out close to 3k-4k on it. I accidently broke the Tab key...

    The Lenovo Z500 with GT 740m thread

    The display is satisfactory. You can't really pump up the brightness levels on this laptop.. Unlike my old dv6 laptop. So that means, the screen is not meant for outdoor use. You would actually be staring at yourself because of the glossy screen if you were to use it outside. Nevertheless, build...

    The Lenovo Z500 with GT 740m thread

    Atleast on Z580,all this doesn't seem to work.I am not quite sure,if we have any Z580 or Z500 owners running Linux alongside win8 on these laptops. Yes,my primary bootloader would indeed be GRuB.Although,chainloading the bootloaders is what i might want to do.

    The Lenovo Z500 with GT 740m thread

    I just ordered this,few hours ago.Has any one of you have this laptop dual booted with Linux ? Apparantely,Lenovo has hardcoded Z580 to run only Win8 (this is what i heard from others),irrespective of the fact whether you have SecuredBoot turned off,you wouldn't be able to boot off any other Os.
