Alternative to the Y480 now on sale in China - ÁªÏëÖÐ¹ú_ideapad_YÏµÁÐ_IdeaPad Y485-ATE

And the A8-4500M version - ÁªÏëÖÐ¹ú_ideapad_YÏµÁÐ_IdeaPad Y485-AEI

Looks interesting but the Y480 with the GT650 GDDR5 is cheaper and that's better than AMD Thames XTX 7690, isn't it?

I had the weekend with the Y480 and it gets hot, very hot when playing games. Do you think having a AMD CPU/GPU combo in there will lessen the heat factor?

I think it can be a little cooler but I don't this difference will be to big. And it may have lower overall performance.
But I think it's interesting alternative. If max performance wasn't top priority then I think it would be better then Intel/nVidia combo. And it should be cheaper when it will hit our markets because most AMD notebooks are.
