So first off, thank you dad for the new lappy!Okay moving on. So after much research of laptops available below $1000 and fully loaded (end 2012), I finally ended up with an Asus and the Lenovo, well you know which I went with.
The specs in my laptop-
- Intel i7 3630QQM 2.40GHz
- 8GB DDR3 ram
- Windows 7 Basic 64bit
- 15.6" 1920x1080 FHD
- 128GB SSD + 500GB HDD
- NVIDIA GTX660M
- USB 3 & Backlit Keyboard
So the Y580 is marketed as a multimedia laptop which to me is a dying breed. If you look at laptops these days, its all trying to be thinner and more portable, which ain't something bad but you will have to just live with not having as much anymore. You would have a smaller screen, less ports, less GPU power with built in-graphics.
