take the basic black qck models. it comes it different sizes hence prices. 525 one is the cheapest and smallest. open the page to see the dimensions and choose whichever to your liking. i prefer

p.s. razer makes really bad quality mouses. i mean they are very good while they last but they break really really easily. my cs addicted friends back in college in total bought like 10 razer mouses and in average it lasted about 6 months.

1. Mostly......no. But I'm planning to buy one as in college area temp rises to ~45C. At that time laptop's temp. 65-70C at idle. Keyboard also malfunctions.
2. I'm using Logitech mouse. If u r willing to spend, buy one from Razer or Steel Series

even an idle of 65 and a max load of say 80 is highly acceptable. laptops run at 90-100 C without throttling. im not saying this is ideal but then 80C wouldnt be a problem

Doesn't heat degrade electronic components?

it does but not like you have to go out of your way to install a cooling pad. laptop components are designed for higher temperatures than desktops. my old dell studio used to run at like 90 C and still works 4 years now. it depends on the quality of components i guess but as long as you are way below the threshold, it shouldnt matter in a lifespan of say 3 years. to maintain your component quality you should ensure that there is no dust buildup inside the laptop e.g. use compressed air cans, open and clean etc. dust is the major enemy of laptops. trust me one time i cleaned the dust and temps dropped by 8 freaking degrees, which is alot.

this laptop has amazing cooling compared to most other laptops and shouldnt be a problem in the long run IMO

in my personal experience and those of my friends back in hostel, the more you use a laptop the less the chances are of it getting broken. sounds weird but just applying probability here. some friends barely use their laptop and it breaks down easily while those who use it alot have a good lifespan. not saying theres a logic or anything to this but just observed this :D

ok now I have been using this since the evening only for updating or basic surfing....the left cooling vent at the bottom of the laptop gets warm after a couple of hours....however the right one remains cold...is that weird???
I think the right side of the cooling vent would be used only when we use a dvd etc right???

the laptop with 750m has full hd display????
Click to expand...

I don't think so.

I am in a proper dilemma. Can't decide whether to buy the 650m with Full HD or 750m with Only HD or wait for Y510p to be released in India. Although, I am tilting towards buying the 650m with Full HD.

I'll say you should buy the Y500 with 650m and FullHD...
The 750m is just an overclocked 650m, you know... You could always overclock the 650m, if you needed to...
Or, you can order the Y510p internationally since I don't think it'll be available in India any time soon and when it does become available, God know what version Lenovo are going to release in India!!! :evil::evil:

But Some dude at the FB Page of Y500 said that he manually changed the res to 1920*1080..
Check it out on FB..
If it's only HD then it must be a glitch...

seriously throttling ? probably just bad frames i have to overclock to play in extreme. its not throttling bro . try lowering anti aliasing it works fine in extreme with anti aliasing off, which is not really required to begin with

Yeah. I will go with the 650m one. Was just being hopeful about Y510p really.
