Lenovo Releases ideapadY460 Laptop

With all the hype surrounding tablets, slates, and all those other things that are not notebook related, Lenovo has managed to bust through the media fray to bring us yet another great product to market. This time it is the IdeaPad Y460. It is begging for wallets, shipping within days, and looking like a winner.

But before we get ahead of our selves, just look at this thing!

It features a geometric sketch design that will surely turn some heads (but it's not quite a sex magnet). I like it. It can't beat Apple's simplicity and style, but, overall, I am very impressed by the design work.

Now for the details. There are two options for the Y460, but both come standard with a 14-inch HD LED monitor at 1366 x 768 resolution, 4GB DDR3 memory, a dual-layer DVD recordable drive, a 6-cell battery, Bluetooth 2.1, Windows 7 Home Premium edition. We should also point out that it weighs over 4.85 pounds.

The first option starts at $999, but you lose out on a dedicated graphics card, so no hardcore PC gaming for you:

— Intel Core i3-330M 2.13GHz processor
— 320GB Hard Drive
— Integrated Intel video graphics

But if you're willing to spend $1,199 for the second option — which seems to be the far better value — you get even more, including Intel's i5 chipset and dedicated graphics:

— Intel Core i5-520M 2.4GHz processor
— 500GB Hard Drive
— ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 video graphics

Either way, Lenovo is creating an army of notebook power, as evident from this past CES, and this company is going to be one to watch for as their assault on the consumer market continues.
