Re: Lenovo Y470 and Y570 Official Owners Thread
I can run bulletstorm maxed and playable on my y570. 555m. 30-40 fps @orbit, as others have said it's just the LED screen. I use a really old tri-screen crt setup on my desktop and I find that it takes some adjusting when I switch back to notebook screens. Overall it's about average.

Ordered a Y470 for $800 before tax and shipping... hopefully it's as good as everyone says. Still debating between sticking to the OE HDD or ordering a mSATA SSD.

4GB ram
Blu-ray drive
750GB 5400RPM drive
Edit: Also... does anyone know if the screen can be upgraded with a 1600x900 screen from LG or AUO?Laptops:

Re: Lenovo Y470 and Y570 Official Owners Thread
Hey guys, it looks like Lenovo decided to bring back the lower configs for the y470 before july 4th ends; going to pick up the y470. Also they increase the price of y570 to $999.

Re: Lenovo Y470 and Y570 Official Owners Thread
Hey guys thanks a lot for all the info in this thread
I'm looking for a gaming laptop in this budget but I'm torn between the y570 and y470. So I guess what I want to ask is whether the extra bulk of a 15.6 incher worth it for the GT 555M? Especially considering it has the same 96 cores?

Re: Lenovo Y470 and Y570 Official Owners Thread
The 1366x768 is going to look horrible on a 15inch laptop since they will look zoomed/close up.
Get the Y470 if i were you, it is about 1lb lighter and dimensionally smaller leaving you more room on your desk and 1366x768 on a 14" isn't going to be bad but usually 900p is recommended but on a 14" you can still get away with the 720p. Not on 15inch though."There's a thing in my pocket, but it's not one thing, it's many"

Re: Lenovo Y470 and Y570 Official Owners Thread
How does y470 run league of legends and call of duty black ops with maxed out settings? Has anyone tried that?
