...and eventually all the other brands if they don't do anything about this haha 

guys may i know a specific date for new fixed sandy bridge will be release? cuz i desperately need a notebook for my graphic work, but i can wait a lil bit more days if it will release in early March.

I think intel purposely release faulty SB chipset, then recall afterwards so their older Core i could be fully cleared. lolz

okay...lets settle it once and for all XD

N53SV
A52JV
A53SV

btw i must get it this week.

possible to get the sandy bridge proc laptops this week?

Then A52JV will be the best pick for the time.

Its for a girl by the way , she cant wait , oh well , they just use it for normal tasks which i3 will handle smoothly anyway lol

hahah just wanna get her the best for the time , as she need it urgently

She wants an asus

And the A52JV outlook is similar to all the A52J series right?

Wooohoooo i bought n43jf jz nowww

i think the most disappointing part would be the HDD no? especially for that kinda price.

agreed its as though they are telling us the sandy bridge integrated ones are good enough so they wont add discrete gpus. Heck, even the 6490M and 6750M on the bigger models are no big deal.

its good that apple is being specific and customizable, every single upgrade puts a dent in your wallet i think the hd6490 is disappointing, seems to be weaker than 330M and we could get a 540M with the same processor on an Asus for example. but yea compared to other brands, with mbp's price we can easily get a top notch gaming system.

Haha, yeah I understand your point. Even so, the SB adds to battery life already without the addition of the integrated GPU. A more efficient architecture leads to better usage of power, or a better way of saying, more battery But I guess, we are all greedy humans who want everything in one package, be it the integrated GPU or the batteries.

And MacbookPro? HAHA. Sorry. Were there any official announcements regarding their release of the new laptops?

I'm not a fan of Apple...so I rarely check their site.

Any traces of Apple programs in my PC, I delete haha.

Guys now its already confrim Lenovo y560p confirm 100% no switchable graphics. They lied to me......
All,

Thanks for your patience and for working with James and Cleo over the last several weeks as we researched this through engineering and development.   

In the end, it appears that the website was in error - the Y460p and Y560p models do not support switchable graphics even though there may be references to the feature in the preload and / or in some documentation that was common across several models of systems.   

Engineering indicates that this is not supported as implemented in the hardware design of these systems, and that it cannot be resolved through BIOS or driver update. 

The system board updates that will be provided through the Intel Series 6 Chipset program will be the same type of board, with an updated version of the affected Intel chip to correct that port 2-5 design flaw and will not provide additional features / functions such as the enablement of switchable graphics.

This was an error in documentation of the system's features, and it has been corrected on the website.    I understand that this will be disappointing news for those of you who wanted to make use of this feature.   

If you wish to return the system, please contact Lenovo web sales - they should be able to work with you on a refund, or any available options to move to a different system.

Apologies,

Mark
NEVER BUY FROM LENOVO!!!!! unless IBM buys back their company

Apple is sort of forced to use Intel chipset instead of NV...

Intel has juz settled with NV regarding the use of DMI by NV on the Nehalem architecture... there has been no NV chipset for Intel platform after Core 2... so that means, NV can't produce anything at all, and it will take time for them to come up with a working prototype...

i won;t blame Apple for moving back to Intel chipset... it's not like they have a choice... wat boggles me is that they went back to AMD/ATi for GPU instead... seems to me Apple has been using NV in the past juz becuz they use the GeForce mobo and to keep things consistent...
