Intel Core i7 4500U

1.8 GHz
Dual core

6.9 Out of 10

If we throw 35W Trinity into the mix, HD 4400 gets closer but it's still far away from 35W Trinity performance.

So some of the key aspects of the Broadwell microarchitecture would be to be suitable for fanless devices, deliver on core performance improvements and feature enhanced graphics, media, display capabilities.

how do you mean.... did the battery die, the GPU or what? and wasn't it covered by the warranty? and furthermore, did it get extremely hot, as the 4200m has a higher power consumption, I would think that it got quite hot during gaming?

I wouldn't recommend the z510, battery life is terrible, it died after 3 months of normal use.

whaya (07:39 PM, May 7, 2014)

i have that one with fullhd resolution. well, you can play latest games on med-high graphics. some games not really smooth, but setting lower resolution helps (1650*1020 or whatever).

anselm fernandes (02:13 PM, May 3, 2014)

i have set my eyes on this new lenovo z510 which has the i5-4200m mentoned above, windows 8, 1tb hdd & 8gb ssd, geforce gt 740m 2gb ded. graphicsa and 6gb ram. jus wanted to know if this computer's processor is capable of playing next-gen anfd latest games
