If you hate SLI and have to stay with strict budget

GT750M SLI is definitely stronger in most cases, but consumes more power and creates more heat.

i have been interested in the y510p even before posting only issue is the heat problem on the ultrabay people say it reaches above 90 degree and the sli both of them had me concerned

i was looking for a good build with gtx 770m as a single gpu

does newegg us? ship to toronto for free??
i tried searching in newegg ca but the prices are high!

I guess for now im back to y510p the reviews on the sli have been raising some concerns for me
also is CyberpowerPC Fangbook Evo reliable?? never heard of it before

I am willing to raise my budget upto 1200 CND

 

[IDontUnderstand]

Isn't 1200 CND similar to 1000 USD? Correct me if I'm wrong, please.

I'm pretty sure the Y510p will do a good job as long as you don't cover ANY of its air INTAKE and EXHAUST, and I would also purchase a laptop cooling pad to go with it, to further enhance its cooling requirement.

CyberpowerPC has a decent reputation, they also make custom PC and laptop on their own website. Those that you see on newegg and retailers are config that they've pre-built for you.

As for the shipping, you can also just add the item into your cart and type in your address to see the shipping fee, before paying of course.

just add operating system - total = $1066 ish dollars, about $12 under your budget (buy a cookie)
the 860M in this machine is the newest architecture released today - it beats the 770M as well as the 750M / 755M SLI.
its the best bang for buck. only trouble is it aint backlit. - depends if that's a deal breaker.

Food for thought - the new Lenovo y50 is coming out soon - that's going to pack an 860M or better, and its backlit and thin. Not sure how much it'll go for but it should be a similar price range.

actually its about 1100 usd

looks like im screwed if i buy anything outside of canada as custom tax will probably reach about 150 dollars more

my only option now is to directly buy a y510p from lenovo canada

 

[IDontUnderstand]

It's the best value option for your budget.

Good luck and have fun with the new laptop.

Make sure to select a best solution if there is one for our future readers, please

i love the cyberfang and the sager recommended here

but what i need now is a online shop that is located inside canada so i dont have to pay custom tax or any other thing except the shipping ofcourse

or am i still missing something here?
are there other hidden fees that i should be aware of?
