Lenovo IdeaPad Y400 Laptop: Core i7 3630QM 2.4GHz, 8GB DDR3, 1TB HDD, 14" 1366x768 LED, 2GB GeForce GT 650M, 6-cell, Windows 8 $749 + Free Shipping

Should I get this or the y500 for $879? which is the better deal?

Quote : Or you can get the best deal ever and just get a refurbed Asus G73/74 off ebay for around $700-$800 and be a boss.

Assuming you like lugging around 8lb 15" laptops...

There a few lower spec'ed Y480's (3rd gen i7-3610, GeForce® GT 640M, scratch and dents) in the Lenovo outlet selling for $522 if anyone is interested.

Quote from belcherboy : Would that be a better option? I'm all for cheaper! EDIT: Are they all 17" computers? I don't want anything bigger than 15"

The ones i mentioned are all 17" screens, if you want 15" screens then you want the G55/53 or G46 if you want 14". You get way more bang for your buck, but they will be refurbished or used if you don't mind that, sometimes there are some new ones on there too. I know I didn't mind it when I got my G73. Also I don't mind the weight at all it sits on a desk when I am some where most of the time. Also use it as a home computer backup when my main has issues, like a failing graphics card which i am currently experiencing (MSI sucks no Advanced RMA options).

oos already

Yeah. They go quick.

these laptops dont overheat?? i7-3630 and 650m on my 17'' and my laptop fan always turns on

for $100 more I would do the y500 or y580 with 1080p though - $900 or less. If this was in $600 range would be hot. I own the y480 and it have an awful viewing angle. The only thing I can say about it is its very reliable, webcam, video card, lots of usb ports, the fan runs when there's a load but its never hot. The bottom is never either.

Quote from iBoo : Ok my bad but the issue where lenovo sold laptops with only one speaker was just ridiculous. nope, I have experience with HP. I purchased one in 2007 and heavily used it for gaming under low graphics quality. Its still up and running, and I resold it for my money back. (HP Pavilion DV6646US) But yeah, Lenovo have some really good deals but I *believe* that they are using low quality parts in their build. Why do I hear so much complaints about lenovo's touchpad?

I have a z480(ivy I5 6gb ram 6cell 720p and dvd cost half as much as this deal) and it took a little bit of playing with the settings to get the touchpad to a point which my girlfriend liked. Major thing is that tap to click option AND reducing sensitivity a tad and there is some setting to get it to ignore palm touches. Works great now!

I personally thought it was fine on factory settings, but some people had trouble typing and the cursor jumping around. Easy fix really.

Some people are just too lazy and or stupid to adjust settings and simply
cant handle that.

The Y500 on SD going for $900 at Newegg is an SLI GT650M (meaning 2 gpus; one in the ultrabay), and it's a bigger screen and 1080p. That's a smoking deal hence the amount of thumbs up. If you need to have the i7 you can pay the extra $150 and get the other Newegg model. Question you should ask yourself is if you game a lot and newer titles or not.

lenovo keyboard sucks lol, unless it's a thinkpad

lenovo uses really good touchpads now. Im using an Y580 right now its awesome.

Quote from ruffrhyno : Quote from iBoo : Because I hear stories about their other laptops being sold. ASUS is a good brand laptop but not many good deals. Well I hear stories about people who hear stories. Don't pay any attention to this guy, Lenovo has become a credible supplier, up there with Asus and Toshiba or Samsung. Some negative experiences can be said for any brand of anything, ever.

Lmao hardly, Lenovo is not one of the top for a reason. Terrible hardware construction, they also use very cheap components. And yes, i do have experience in the field.

Quote from iBoo : this deal looks promising but... lenovo is not good

+1
[o _0]No good quality, cheap look, dead pixels. I traded to Sony and that was my purpose.
