Lenovo PC fair brochure HERE
Y580 come with 1TB (5400rpm)
Y480 really tempting...

It seems that Y480+gt650m official spec only come with freeDos according to Hikari HERE.
quoted belows:

Same do me being misleaded by unofficial brochure in Lenovo FB.
Worst thing is they pair with additional 4GB ram with 1333mhz which is cheaper, not cover by Lenovo warranty and reduce the performance.

Its better to get the freeDos version & upgrade ourself.

Thank you for clarification.
Is it the same specs with freedos version & bundle with W7HP? What is the SRP?
There are some garage seller bundle it with window home basic.

Y480 official spec with Win7 Home Basic @2699, official part No. is 5934-1372 details HERE.

Asus new product guide Oct-Nov 2012.
http://my.asus.com/Static_WebPage/Product_Guide/
Not much suprise except Nexus 7 is quiet tempting.

After six months Nvidia launched the new 28nm Kepler 600 series mobile GPU, its sad that only a limited new GPUs are available and the rest are rebadged old 40nm Fermi 6xx GPUs. The same thing go to AMD new Southern Islands HD7000 series mobile GPU with limited choices.

This is mainly due to TSMC 28nm manufacturing are not able to keep up with the high demand. Its sad that consumer need to tradeoff with the old tech due to limited supplies. TSMC is expanding its 28nm manufacturing with improved yield, we can see more new Kepler GPU are coming, such as GTX675MX, GTX670MX, GT645M & GT625M.

AMD & Nvidia is having a very good competition in the desktop GPU but lack of competition in the mobile GPU. Hope AMD will come out more mobile GPUs to compete with Nvidia so that we can enjoy a better deal and more choices. May be it will happen in next year 2013 when they launch the Sea Islands where TSMC 28nm manufacturing is matured.
