Last week, Lenovo showed us their very first gaming laptop running an Intel Core i7 processor. With a 15.6-inch screen, the Ideapad Y550P packs a good punch that could beat most desktops out there.
Wasn’t sure if the Core i7 processor was rated at just 1.6GHz but since it’s got Turbo Boost Technology, I think the CPU can overclock on its own when the need arises.
You get a Core i7 CPU, 500GB HDD, 8GB DDR3 RAM, Nvidia GeForce GT 240M with 1GB RAM, a Blueray drive and Windows 7 Home Premium. The 15.6″ screen has a resolution of 1366×768 pixels.
The laptop was previewed during their evening Media Christmas Party so I wasn’t prepared and didn’t brought my dSLR with me. However, I managed to play around with it and ran Windows Experience Index which gave me this results:
This model will be available in the market starting January 2010 and will have a suggested retail price in the vicinity of Php95,000+.
I have one of this.(Lenovo Y550P) and I’m just selling it for 27k negotiable and It’s still good as new.wala pang year saken.You can check my ad in sulit.com.ph
I’ll go for this one :)
okey lang yan..kasi sulit naman e..anyway matagal n ipunan 2 mga pre..he he he
Good on the specs but bad on the price and screen resolution. 1366 pixels?!
It saddens me how tech moves so blazingly fast. 7 years ago, I got my first Pentium M Dell laptop for almost the same price as that. Now, it’s just a media machine. This is why the #1 rule in tech buying is: don’t ever buy the latest and greatest.
95k?! I’d get a gaming desktop instead or a MacBook. Tapos yung sukli, pambili ng iPod. hehehe
Yung Core i7 na Laptop, depende sa specs yung price pero mahal talaga ang aabutin, as to buying a Macbook Pro, specs ng MBP ang layo sa sa mga Core i7 na laptop.
*P.S. I ordered a Dell Studio Xps 16 sa US, pero d pa dumadating.
nice specs but the price is not…..
too expensive. Although Lenovo has some nice lappys come out recently. I drooled over a friend’s Y450 which he got in S’pore.
