Can anyone tell me what difference will the 1Gb GPU version will make than the 2 Gb GPU. 4Gb RAM is not an issue, coz that is easily upgradable. Which one to choose now for a long term purpose?

Higher vram provides your video card the capability to store more data and texture at a time for processing.
As a matter of fact , the usage depends on the level of details with which you are playing and the resolution too.
So if you are planning to play high-end games on a FHD resolution , most likely 1gb will feel insufficient.
Modern games on a FHD and medium to high details consume anywhere between 700mb to 2gb VRAM at a given time.
Well 4Gb might seem an overkill for a weaker card though.
there is simply no point in buying a weak card with 4gb ram.

Hey guys. I'm glad I found this thread. Please help me. i'm thinking of buying y510p( i5 version) or z510p (i7 version). My needs are primarily gaming. Now the problem is that I dont know whether gt 755m can play games at 1080p in the future or not . so what is better : gt 750m+ FHD or gt 740m + Hd screen. Please reply.

Does the laptop get got? My previous laptop was an HP that got hot after sustained light usage (browser, eclipse and so on), largely due to clogging of the heat sink (which had to be serviced every single month.) I'm now looking for a decent performance lappy, under 50k, that does not get hot at all (on a hard, flat surface with light usage), especially in the kind of temperatures that India experiences.

So, how have your experience been with that?

Also, sharp edges - is that a concern?

How is the Lenovo service? Hp service is very prompt and very good, even if I don't like the build quality of their product. Is that laptop easy to disassemble and clean? Do you need to service it often?

Does this only have an Nvedia gpu, or is there an intel gpu that handles basic tasks and switches to the discrete gpu when necessary?

Any reply would be quite helpful. Thanks.

1. Yes it gets a little hot on surfaces like bed. But not to worry about.If you are much into gaming consider a cooling pad.
2. Not of much concern
3. Service is good. Never disassembled or called service center(my case)
4. It has both integrated graphics (Intel HD 4600) and discrete graphics (NVIDIA GT740M) . It switches automatically and you can also add exceptions for programs if it doesn't recognize.


Hope that helps. :)

I am getting z510 i7 model at 55500 at flipkart after discount. Yesterday I went to chennai but all authorised do stores said that the y510 and z510 have been discontinued now. I even confirmed it from delhi and kolkata dealers.
So is it worth to buy it now also.
Because I only have flipkart as the last option.Or should I wait .. for other models to launch in this range?Plz suggest.
thanks.

I read that z510 has some issues with wifi... that it disconnects or slows down after 15-20 mins..
Any of you having this problem??

Does the weak display impact home usage in any significant way?

From Notebookcheck

Contrast (327:1) and black value (0.97 cd/m²) of the IdeaPad are not convincing.
The display of the Z510 does not cover AdobeRGB or sRGB. The coverage is about 48.8% (AdobeRGB) and 66.6% (sRGB). These color spaces are important for professional image editing.
The display is significantly bluish.

Do we get similarly priced laptops with better displays (can be weaker performance-wise)?

Please help me out. I need to know that 740m in z510 is based on which chip? Gk107 or gk208? You can easily find out using gpu z or equivalent. Thanks
