So, shall I assume that this laptop is being suggested to people around TDF without any actual owners?
Just like Xperia L nightmare all over...

I am extremely sorry. I knew that there's a thread, but "with GT720m" made me think twice. I did not know NVIDIA N14M-GE and NVIDIA GT720M are same.
Also, I overlooked "1 x headphone + mic port" on the specifications page.

z500 is almost an year old model better go for z510.
a)the touch pad does not work when keys are pressed.
b)No, it does not have a separate port for mic & Headphone.
c)i am a owner... and it's working flawlessly till now ... almost all games played in med-high settings to date @720p

Thanks for your reply. Much appreciated!
Z510 is way over my budget, almost double. Gaming is not my first priority(still needed though
), so I guess Z500 should be fine.The touchpad not working is a huge disappointment. I suppose you use external mouse to play games smoothly?
Here's what I am more concerned about than gaming capabilities: I currently have a HP 2005AX but even to launch Chrome/Ms Word/Media Player I often have to wait for 30 minutes or if I'm lucky, 10-15 minutes. Does Z500 carry such problems too?

30 mins is an exaggeration. You must mean 15-20 secs. Yes this happens in all laptops with a standard 5400RPM HDD. If you don't wanna wait then upgrade to a SSD. Everything opens in 1 sec(MAX).

MS Word takes upto 2-3 mins in a standard 5400 RPM drive.

I am quoting literal times, not exaggerated. Exception is when that app has been just closed. After a fresh boot/wake up from sleep, it does take 10 minutes at least.

Why did you underclock your processor? :O

oh no the software bundle did that to me.. just enable power saver mode and voila Bus multiplier gets fixed 12 instead of varying IMO it's obviously to save power.
