    Hi,

    I want to buy a laptop as soon as I can and I'm not sure which one I should buy. I think i'll wait a few months, maybe 2014 will bring us new laptops on a same price like y510p. I was looking for some opinions about y510p with 750/755 SLI and I saw that it has problems with overheating in game such as Crysis 3 / Battlefield 4. It's true? If yes, it's possible to fix the overheating with a good Cooler pad (active) or buying one it's totally useless / not worth the money.

    Thanks in advance

    As nice as the X7 is, i think most of us (even Lenovo) learned our lesson, stick win Single GPU :)

    780M > 765M SLI anyways.

    Cooling 2 smaller chip is easier, than one monolitic. At that thickness and weight, 780m, yeah, sure...
    You are right partially, lesson is learned (especially for Lenovo, this is what y50 should have been, not that übertrend 4K sillyness... ;) )

    Titan > 780m anyways :p

    From my point of view this Laptop looks amazing and his price is quite good for the specs that he has in it. Do you guys think that this Laptop will come with SLI or with a possibly upgrade to a SLI? I'm not sure that a single video card, the one from y50, will beat the 750/755m SLI in terms of fps. I still want to know if you guys face with the y510p problems about Overheat. It's so bad? Impossible to deal with it in the last gen of games, even if you have a good cooler pad?
