    Hi Guys

    I want to buy a laptop . I searched many model of different brand, I decided to buy a Lenovo

    Just have a question about the graphic card.

    Dose Z580 have Nvidia card or just have integrated Intel HD 4000?

    The difference between GTX660M and HD 4000 which one is better?



    I'm from Iran And I want to buy laptop from here, I asked from a seller and he told there is no OS in Z580 and he said that you should install an OS on your laptop by yourself !. Is that true?



    Thanks in advance

    if from lenovo OS is there- HD4000 is way weaker than 660M. Z580 is cheaper than y580.

    Gtx is far faster than built in intel graphics, but only useful if you play games, do 3D rendering, etc. Normal office use will not benefit.

    The one speed advantage of intel hd 4000 graphics is that through quicksync, you can convert videos to h264 format far faster than most dedicated graphics.

    Z580 has option for gt 640 says their site, but higher performance models include the Y and W series.

    OS comes with all notebooks sold by Lenovo typically.
