i used it for 2 months without closing the lid... but the situation is far worse ...
so getting it replaced both upper and lower panel for 2500 from that technician..


Ah ok..
Mine should be fixed by tomorrow but
I always have this fear that the technician will remove some important parts and replace them with inferior parts. :D

guys how is this laptop for gaming
notebookspec.com/notebook/5749-HP-Pavilion-15-n270TX.html
It has Core i7-4500U and gt 840m 2gb gddr3.
My friend is getting it from Thailand for 45000 rupees(indian eqv).

It is okay for gaming. Check this benchmark of 840m

yeah the gpu is all right
How about the processor?? Will the ulv i7 be Okay?

I am talking about this one:-

it is equal to core i5. Go figure.

core i7 ULV=core i5 ULV. Wow. Sherlock Logic.
core i7 U is almost equal to core i5 M.

in ulv its all a gimmick,i3,i5,i7 doesnt matter
theres no way a ulv cpu will match a M-series cpu
ive tried and tested this myself with my friends toshiba with the new 4th gen i7 ulv + nvidia and my own 3rd gen i5 3210M + amd and its not even close to the M-series, even though his gpu is better than mine,my laptop performed better at games

Go and check benchmarks. core i7 ULV is almost equal to core i5 M.

i just benchmarked it against i5 4200m and it came very close to the i5 but always a little lower.
Both are dual core. Even though i5 one has a higher base clock speed of 2.5GHz their turbo speeds are almost same with a difference of .1GHz, i5 leading.
So for the price point its okay I guess

yeah the ulv i7 is a good cpu overall

[MENTION=184724]kkn13[/MENTION] of course the ulv won't reach the full potential like their m counterparts...But then they are priced lower than the m series CPU too

i know,i didnt say they were bad or something,they are decent for gaming

core i7 ULV CPUs are exactly same for gaming as core i5M CPUs.
Both have dual cores. Both have the same micro-architecture(Haswell). Clock speed is almost same.
I don't see an argument against core i7 4500U except 100MHz lower boost clock which is irrelevant in real world performance.
If you are like, oh they are ULV so low voltage and therefore low performance. Then I can only pity at your ignorance. They are made to run at that voltage(and wattage) at their full potential. Performance at this low wattage is just slightly below core i5M which runs at much more wattage.

[MENTION=248727]seamon[/MENTION] , how was the arctic silver for your lappy ?
I am thinking if applying Arctic. Silver mx2 on mine.
It can't handle this summer anymore. At least not the extreme high end gaming like bf3 mp at high graphics . the temps reach 100+.
