Quote from dandaman1219 : http://slickdeals.net/f/5685566-L...opDiscover Y500 roughly the same price after Discover cash back. self-promotion I know; sue me lol

You would be paying 819 and tax on top of that, then 10% off of the 819. If you use shop discover through here you save roughly over a hundred dollars.. But most people don't need an i7 the extra 100 to get the lenovo isn't worth it..

It's a shame Dell didn't go with the full blown Nvidia 650M in their XPS line. Instead they opted for the 640M to keep it thin while pricing it very high. HP was smart to put all of these options into their laptop.

The screen on this thing is amazing. They say it isnt IPS but it sure looks like it. The viewing angles are top notch.

At a great price. The deal works for me.

I wish I could jump on this instead, but already got a laptop! Haha.
The video card is essentially a renamed 6750M, which is as strong as a 660M graphics card!

That is a good price for the envy

is this i5 good enough for sc2 guild wars...bf3..please reply and quote

bro you gotta go with the i7. i5's no match

is the nvidia 650m better than the amd 7690m?

yes, the GT 650M is better than the 7690M. Should have a good 20-30% at least, averagly.

Yes, I5 will suffice. Most games don't really make a good use of more than that.

oh well, deal ended?

new deal is "Save $100 on customizable laptops priced $799 or more with coupon code NB6123. Save $150 on customizable laptops priced $999 or more with coupon code NB6721"

Quote from taurus2007 : If I configure the HP to be similar to the Y500, i7 (HP: 6GB RAM and 650GB HD, Y500: 8GB RAM and 1TB HD), the HP comes out to be about $150 more than the Y500! And even if they both come out to the the same price (with same specs), I am not sure if I'd take HP over Lenovo since I have a paperweight HP laptop in my office! A waste of some $$$...

You could have also been forthcoming in saying that it is only because of the CPU since HP charges $45 extra for the i5 and $245 for the i7.
