Lenovo IdeaPad Y580 Laptop: Core i7 3610QM 2.3GHz, 8GB DDR3, 750GB HDD + 32GB SSD, 15.6" 1920x1080, 2GB GeForce GTX 660M, Blu-ray Drive, WiFi N, USB 3.0, 6-cell, Win 7 Prem $799 +

Sorry for the noob question but is this screen IPS?
Also, how would be the viewing angles on this screen? My purchase from Sony for their clearance laptop got canceled which had an IPS screen with the same resolution. Would this screen be as good as the Sony one?

How would the build quality of this compare to Sony?

I read the reviews on Amazon and MS, and the biggest issue seems to be the keyboard and the mouse track. Anything else I should worry about?

Thanks!

Excellent deal. Must resist...

Crap, I just bought this exact model for $999.99.

Quote from taurus2007 : If I were to get this laptop, I would probably replace the 32GB SSD with at least a 128GB SSD or even a 256GB. There are some great deals for either 128GB or 256GB going around lately.

I wonder if the 32 gb cache can be replaced with a bigger msata ssd (120gb or bigger) and set to be a boot drive. That would be nice.

Just saw a slick deal for M4 256GB mSATA for $165 (newegg).

I got this for $1300 after coupons gc etc..

Anyway this lenovo seems very close in specs although it has a big down for me: no DP ouput. hdmi doesn't support the highest res for photographic needs. Otherwise great deal.
Plus i needed dual bay hdd so sammy offered it all.

Is anyone else getting an "out of stock"?

OOS!!! slickdeal effect ftw

Out of stock, deal is dead.

Quote from basimbaig : Is anyone else getting an "out of stock"?

Yup. Just went out of stock this second. Right when I clicked "Complete order".

I was in the process of buying. Depressing.

glad i pulled the trigger just in time!

I was so excited. Sold out 2 minutes before I added to cart apparently... :'(
