The Lenovo Z500 with GT 740m thread

[anaklusmos]

as i already mentioned in #277 , there will be NIL ( ZERO ) fps gain when switching from 1gb to 2gb version.
Also the hardware is EXACTLY the same, so heat generation , dissipation, etc again will be same.
as rohitshubham said, its better to go for the cheaper model and upgrade the RAM later if u feel u need it.

 

[rohitshubham]

Has anyone in this forum installed an SSD on the Z500?

not that i know of ... but i remeber someone asking this earlier on this thread and i think i had given him how to do this by replacing either the current HDD or optical drive .

Hello guys, i have uploaded the picture of serial no. printed on the back of my laptop in the DoGear and ADP offers registration page. Now i think i have made a mistake because they are asking for serial no. printed on laptop box instead, i think. What did you upload for serial no. ??? And if have uploaded the wrong document, what to do now ?? I have also sent a mail to the support centre but i don't think they will reply me fast and i am afraid that i may not get the offer and the voucher...
P.S. : My laptop box is at some distant place also. So getting it will be difficult.

detials on flipkart shows that lenovo z500 wid 2GB graph and 6gb ram as gaming lappy and dat wid 1GB & 4gb ram as entertainment. Is it true dat a 1GB brings dat much difference in gamin?. Does it mean dat earlier one( 2gb variant) handles heat fairly good compared to the other varaitn(1GB)? Also the price differnce between thm iz Rs-5000. Is it worth to go for 2gbgraph +6gb ram variant paying xtra 5000 rs. (Thanks in advance guys 4r running this thread!!!! )

Atlast i have found 1 GB 740m it has same specification as 2 GB instead it has Bradwidth: 16.0 GB/s whereas 2 GB has Brandwith:14.4 GB/s Great

IMO, they will surely reply to you in your mail id so keep checking for that , meanwhile try to manage the photograph of laptop's box in case they ask for it.

Hoping for that.. I have already got the proper pictures... I have tried sending them on my behalf, but only automated response came with ticket ID...

Have you upgraded your GPU drivers??

 

[UnknownPrince.786]

@rohitshubham
Which laptop you have ?

 

[suarezian]

I have 2 questions:
1) I'm planning to buy the z500 with 6gb ram and 2gb gt 740m. Can i play games like gta 4, mw3, gta 5(if it releases) and other games on med or high settings? Also, can i play train simulator (please don't tease me ) on high settings?

2)is the 650m better than 740m? If it is, then should i consider other laptops under 55k?

 

[suarezian]

Lenevo should have launched a Core i7 model of this. I would have loved to purchase it and sell my Acer for it. I just love teh looks of this.

There is an i7 model of this laptop

 

[suarezian]

nope, don't go for 2 Gb model..... the games which take up more than 1Gb of gpu will not run anyways coz the mobile GPU's are not that powerful.
Assassins creed 3 is taking up little more than 500Mb @ 720p and high details... crysis 3 takes around 760Mb on very high...
moreover you can increase the RAM as one slot is empty in 1Gb model

How can we increase the RAM? We need to go to lenovo service center to do it? I'm asking this because if we remove the back cover, it might void the warranty

I just called up the lenovo customer service and they said the laptop hasn't launched in India yet and they don't know when it will launch in India.

nope, they dont'.
they will just inform yo through e mail that your warranty has been extended.

 

[savvy]

So i guess i need not worry about the address then.... Right ???

To all z500 users

how long will its battery life will stay i.e. When will the battery get weak that it won't be able to recharge itself anymore??

when its battery is useless will Lenovo or Lenovo guys can change the battery since the battery can't be replaced by users??

 

[rohitshubham]

^^ yes, they will change the battery and the battery life depends on the amount of work you do and how you handle the battery.
