Since my last visit to a lenovo exclusive store, i was under impression, for the dealer told me “ideapad Y series is Lenovo’s top dog in home/multimedia laptops”. So am I to believe that lenovo only caters to business people with thinkpad as premium offering?
And also notebookcheck.net does not have any real gaming statistics on gt 555m for now, i checked it earlier as well. So they placed the gpu on top just based on benchmarks/specs…
Anyways, gaming performance aside, vis-a-vis, dell xps 15 has more to offer in the same price bracket. So I still recommend it over Y-570.
Mostly, true. The highest model of Y560 (without 3D) touches about 60k. Only Thinkpads are costlier than it.
As you can see, the GT-555M is placed much above the GT-540M. The XPS 17 selling in the US can be upgraded to 3GB GT-555M. Let’s see if they bring it to India.
Agree on this. Dell has better build quality, better looks, better after-sales service & more choices to upgrade to. The only negatives I find is that price starts shooting when you customize it even with few basic upgrades.
If u are looking for only gaming then go for lenovo y570,as it has better processor And gpu for gaming..
.As in lenovo y570 Intel* i7 2620 **is **2.6Ghz But only 2 cores and 4 mb cache **..But,In Dell XPS 15 intel i7 2630 has 2.0Ghz with 4 cores and 6 Mb cache
^^ Aakash, numbers are one part of the story, and performance is the other.
If you look at it this way (Talking about desktop cpu’s but still the same analogy) AMD makes the Phenom II X6 1090T - A six core processor, and Intel makes the i5-2500 a four core processor, the both cost almost the say, a 1.5k difference, but going by your analogy of more is better, there are some areas where the X6 wont perform as good as the i5, even though its a 6 core pitched in against a 4 core.
All I’m saying is that we can make observations with numbers, but the real deal will be proven only when its tested, thus going by reviews would be better than going by numbers.’
More shaders and not enough ROPs can screw up the scaling of a GPU. Thus going by those numbers wont really be wise. You could try comparing GPUs on that basis, here’s a good read From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BTW, I’m on the same boat, I’d go with dell if it was a laptop, any day
I’m just saying that, for gaming higer speed is better not the cores, coz the game develpoers still make games one the basis of dual core processors… only some games utilizes all 4 cores…so in that terms, fater dual core is better than slower 4 cores..If they have the same architecture..(In this case both are i7)…cpu…
And regarding gpu, those review shows the tested gpu performance not just the numbers i’m taking about…
Which is what I’m trying to say, the intel spec sheet above, gives numbers, a more wiser thing would be going with the processor reviews, thats all.
Mea culpa maxima , The Game Benchmarks tab was minimized, font too small didn’t really notice. If it does really show game performance results, there’s all that you need in there.
Hmmmm…so does this mean that the Dell XPS is better than Lenovo Y570 ? Maan, I had almost made my mind to buy the Lenovo…now I am in a dilemma again…hehehehe.
But seriously guys, I had heard a lot of negative reviews for Dell and the fact that Dell XPS would cost about 70K compared to the Lenovo Y Series (50K) too made me think…
If we think of Build Quality and performance, which one would be better ? Dell or Lenovo ?
Sorry for asking this question guys, but there have been a lot of people here who recommend a Dell XPS over Lenovo Y Series…so am getting really confused here.
guys regarding the speed of the processors i7-2620m can go up to 3.4 ghz with turbo boost and i-7 740qm can go up to 2.9ghz with 4 cores so if you calculate the overall speed the latter is much higher. And guys u all are saying that dell is better in a lot of other parameters but What parameters please state those things i am not brand loyal to any company i just want good features.. thanks suggestions are welcome
I recently ordered the Asus N53Sn for 65000/-. Specification is right in between the Dell Xps15 and lenovo y570. It comes with nvidia 550m graphics card and there are various customisations available including FHD. Just one sore point is the unavailability of backlit keyboard. Else its pretty good bang-for-buck. Check the multimedia laptop section in Asus website for details.
The Y570 hasn’t released yet (even in US). So it is not the right time to comment on its build quality. Let some reviews surface before making an opinion. Hopefully, Lenovo has learned from its previous mistakes (read: Y560).
