Well, just like many of Lenovo users and potential users, back in July this year I was actually interested in the Y460.

I actually even considered getting it and asking for some money back, as stupid as that was. But after a few days I asked for the refund, they said they would replace the Y550P with a Y560. The Y560 is ~RM100 more, but with a far superior GPU (one version has HD 5730), which is so much better (faster) and cooler than the GT 240M I had.

I think at the time the Y560 they offered me did not have 5730 (maybe it was 5650, which is what Y460 has), so it wasn't a very good deal anyway. And I did not want another Ideapad, and this was nearly the same (same CPU, 2GB more RAM, etc).

I even asked my relative to buy Lenovo (because I was impressed with the quality) at the start! But what it comes down to is that low end Lenovos are fine. At the middle range their prices are maybe above average, so a Dell or Sony or Acer or Asus may have more value. For me, Lenovo and HP's pricing just does not make any sense. Dell/Sony/Acer/Asus price the product according to the product (except Dell tries to force the more expensive processors to consumers by upping the price of the cheaper processors).

Do not get a high end Lenovo. A netbook will be ok.

If you want a high end laptop look to other brands.

I have not as yet bought a new laptop (since August!) but I am on the hunt.

Mostly it's because Dell's current config options are obscenely unfair.

Soon the new generation of laptop Intel CPUs will be out (earliest January, but maybe March).
