lenovo IdeaPad Z580 Intel Core i5 3210M(2.50GHz) 15.6" Notebook, 6GB Memory, 500GB HDD $550

Yes.

I have been looking for a laptop for weeks now. I have this exact model on newegg bookmarked and have been checking the price constantly. Then it drops $80 in price. Not as slick as the labor day deal, but good enough for me to stop this madness of finding the best deal. After tax (unavoidable) it was just under $600, which was my original goal. THANK YOU! I was just about to go to sleep too.

Edit: 2 Questions: 1) If I do not want Windows 8, how do I go about downgrading to Windows 7?
2) It says the following: "Your order will not be processed if your shipping address does not match your PayPal confirmed address." I am sending to a relatively new address... but in the paypal account the transaction is already requested and the address has a green "Confirmed." I should be in the clear correct?

i7 was at TD for $520 yesterday

That didn't have a dedicated graphics card, so I dismissed it. Otherwise it's a good deal.

Would anyone know what the resolution is for this setup? I can't seem to find it on the site.

Found it:

The Lenovo IdeaPad Z580 uses a glossy 15.6-inch Samsung SEC4252 1366x768 display in the 16:9 aspect ratio.

Nvidia Geforce 635M 1GB vs. 630M 2GB, which one is better?

When I look at this model in lenovo website, all the Z models comes with Intel HD graphics card. However, this shows it is NVIDIA. Is this correct?

I see that all Z models in lenovo website says it comes with Intel HD graphics card. however, this products specs shows that it has NVIDIA graphics. Is this correct?

This is back alive. Anyone have any feedback on it? Seems like a great deal for a laptop with a dedicated videocard.
