Lenovo IdeaPad Y480 Laptop: Intel Core i7 3630QM 2.40GHz, 14" LED-Backlit (1366x768), 8GB DDR3 1600, 1TB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 2GB, $800 + Free Shipping

Can anyone help me out with how this deal compares to this system [lenovo.com] (out of stock now, but one I wanted at $805)

The y480 destroys that computer. I5 3210 is the third generation which is far superior of that second generation of I5. Also the Nvidia quadro is entry level video card on that laptop.

The GTX 660m is clocked higher and much faster even if memory was the same type.

I used to have an HP DV6T-Quad with the GT650M 2GB of GDDR5, I would get a P score of about 2200 in 3DMark11 and I play BF3 on medium settings @ 1920x1080, was smooth but still got the occasional frame drops.

On my Lenovo Y580 with the GTX660M 2GB of GDDR5, my P score is about 2600 in 3DMark11, out of the box. I play BF3 on a combination of High/Ultra settings @ 1920x1080 and it's still very smooth.

I have overclocked my Y580 with a simple +135 on GPU and +150 on Mem and it gets over 3000 in 3DMark11. That's almost as fast as a GTX675m! Now it plays everything I throw at it buttery smooth.
