New Y460 and Y560 Ideapads

[Howitzer225]

It's already march...still no sign in here and abroad.

Looks like the Y460 is out. Only two different models so far, not customizable, and a bit pricey.

If the the price is justified with quality (build quality, display etc.), then it's ok.

A pity that there is not a fingerprint reader integrated into it.

"A gorgeous, LED hi-def screen with an ambient light sensor that auto-adjusts to your conditions, night or day. "

Doesn't sound too bad about the display. Perhaps we can expect a pretty good display now.

This guy from Thailand has this device already and has done a quick evaluation!

From the 3DMark06 scores, one can assume that the 5650 is underclocked. It should be higher.
Hope you can overclock it to its normal speed.

Seems like that page went up prematurely. As stated, you can't customize it or even buy a warranty. Currently they have a sale on the Y450 and Y550 (last year's models) that ends Wed. Maybe the 460 and 560 will be officially announced on Thurs, after this sale ends?

I dont see anything about the Rapid drive in the specs as well. Hope a customizable one comes out very soon. What wireless card is the intel wifi 1000?(B/G/N?) I was hoping to see an intel 6200-6300 in it.

I can't wait, hope it will soon appear in Europe as well.

But I'm really confused with the configurations now
According to this page http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/c...18&PID=3640576 there are configurations with i3 330M/Intel HD and i5 520M/HD5650 and no mention of switchable graphics Does it have really hybrid Radeon/Intel HD?
Configuration with i5 and HD5650 is OK, but quite pricey, I'd rather see i3+HD5650 for around 1000$. And next, prices should have started at 849$ and the lowest config with integrated GPU is for 1000$??

It has switchable graphics as the person from Thailand has tested it.

What about the Rapid Drive? At a later date I suppose.....
