Sounds like an HD issue, was it the normal blue screen thing? what did it say on it, any error messages on the black screen when it boots? Does it do anything other than fans for a sec when it boots, you said no lights, but the fans come on? little more details pls?

9 times out of 10 the HDD is going to be the determining factor in weather or not the laptop can perform. the CPU, quite important, but it's a combo deal, the best I7 in the world is no good with a horribly slow HDD

the 8870 is a bit of a boost.. but it's not that much of a boost, the 8770 is still on par with what it is. It gets things done and it games well. At least in my experience.

We keep posting before the other is done, haha, my apologies. I use the 8770 daily, and it's fast, portable, 6 hours of battery ( easily ), the HD display is epic, it's touch screen, which believe it or not, comes in handy. It can play any game i've thrown at it. This may not mean much, but...

so what's the issue with the chronos 7 15", I have it.. it does everything i need, and i need a lot. Any exact details as to what the problems you forsee are?

Actually i see you already wen't that route, didn't even read that part. The 8770 is not a bad card by any means. I have the 15 inch model, it's got everything you want, and it games more than enough, i assure you. It's still a decent gamer. What's the faults you have with it?

Ultra portable isn't really an option with gaming. They have some pretty portable gaming beasts, Such as the samsung chronos 7. It's got decent specs, and in your price range, but as far as " ultra portable " goes.. that's probably not going to happen.

Like i said, i just wen't through this exact same thing. If you turn off, or dissable the HD4000, you will not like the outcome. Let the system decide what it needs. If you play a higher end game on ultra, and it works, than the system is doing it's job and switching... because obviously, the...

august is a long way away. The Y500 will be old news by then :p

If it's windows 8 go to start menu, and locate the camera app, or download it via the store. if it's windows 7, google a good camera app, and place the shortcut where it was before.

yayyy lenovo, it's sexy too!

laptops are far less capable to upgrade in the traditional sense.. ultrabooks.. even more so. Spend the extra dough, and get something you're happy with.

Jman was on the money, i would go with samsung even though i knew all of that, simply because im a samsung fanboy, and there products are better than anything ive used. In all honesty though, you should spend the money on a samsung note 10.1, android imo beats chrome any day. However, for the...
