how does this compare to the lenovo z570 with i3?

Tempting. This does play Crysis 1 fluidly on medium which most other $400 laptops will not.

Best gaming laptop @ $400 price point, hands down.

Quote from lilshortwunn : how does this compare to the lenovo z570 with i3?

I bought this laptop when on sale in Sept and due to being very sick I haven't been able to use it too much finally unboxing it 2 days ago! I wish I could answer your question but can tell you what some very helpful, computer smart posters have told me. 1st I think the i3 is a little better than this AMD but not by much. What I learned depending on who is writing their opinion is the weak link in either confrig is the lower end graphics. I am going to post a link by 'Toms Computers' a self help site that has good advice. They believe this laptop has slightly better graphic graphics than the sandy bridge 2nd gen i3 that comes with Intel 3000 graphics but not the 2000 version. They mention it will play "most games" albeit on medium settings. Since I don't play games on laptops It wasn't a issue with me. I was more attracted to it for the Lenovo name, its comfy keyboard, good sounding speakers, build quality and its track pad. The other weak part some posters do not like the low resolution camera. I agree Lenovo cut corners in that dept which made so sense since a web cam does not cost much but people who have used it say for making Skype calls the picture it is very clear even in low light. I do not know what people expect for a $400. computer with many saying if you "wait" you will get a better deal on Black friday etc etc. Maybe so but if I lived with that mindset I would still be waiting to buy a Plasma TV sitting back watching my early 90's Sony 27" XBR tube set happy I didn't Blow $900. on my late 2006-07' Panasonic 37" Plasma that I have been enjoying these past 4 years. My advice is to Google your questions. Most of all if heavy duty gaming is important to you, this laptop might not be the best for anyone with that as a big priority. Sorry I could not help you more.

Notebookcheck.net's benchmarks have the HD6520G beating the snot out of the HD3000 in games. It's discrete, non-integrated, and is just flat out faster.

Thank You. Makes me feel even better I jumped on it Sept 21st. Mine came with 6gb of memory but everything else is the same I think unless I have the 750gb hard drive. Makes me almost want to buy a 2nd one for a friend having hard times right now. Hell, I probably will. Anyway, thank U.

seems price is in store only...

Quote from Prohibition : seems price is in store only...

Maybe Not. Both Laptops I bought at Frys in Oct advertised just like these did not go Live until about 5:15am est ( New York ) time, I checked Pay Pal account for the time I made purchases. U may be right about 'store only' but I would not give up hope until 90 minutes from now.

i was just looking at the other items in the add and most of them are at the sale price with shipping unavailable and a few items are available for shipping from the add with the old price. would be nice to see this one for shipping.

Shouldn't this be listed as 1.4GHz?

priced appropriately..but this should be considered the going "sale" rate on a "basic" amd A6 3400m configuration with single integrated 6520g graphics.

It lacks dual graphics like those offered by HP and Asus laptops sold in the last 3 months ,so I'd keep looking out for those instead of this. But these days if you just want to spend a maximum of $400, then this configuration is probably worth it over the competition. Just know that for $500-600 range you may get much better dual graphics laptops if you wait and search hard for it.

Pretty sure you are right, but it automatically overclocks to 2.3 Ghz
