I’m a graduating senior and I’m searching for a new laptop. Now I want a Sony Vaio or HP Pavilion. (Well really I want a MacBook, but that’s another story.) My uncle, who works for a computer company is offering me a deal on a 15.4 Lenovo computer. I’m sure what its official name is but these are some of its specs:

Levono 15.4-Inch Laptop with touch sensisitve surface and built in subwoofer.
> CPU Type – Intel Core 2 Duo T5900
> Screen – 15.4″ WXGA
> Memory Size – 4GB
> Hard Disk – 250GB
> Optical Drive – Dual Layer DVD Burner
> Graphics Card – Intel GMA 4500MHD
> Video Memory – shared memory
> Communication – Modem, LAN and WLAN
> Card slot – 1 x Express Card
> Battery – 6-cell lithium ion, Life 4 hours
> Dimensions – 14.20″ x 10.30″ x 1.10-1.40″
> Weight – 6.4 lbs.

He’s offering me and my mom a cheap deal, understanding that money is tight for us. But I really want a Sony, HP or even a Mac. Should I accept the Lenovo? Does anyone know about them?

Depending on the price, it sounds like it is an IdeaPad Y530 or similar model. I don’t own any of the new Lenovo laptops (I do have two ThinkPads even if), but I am likely going to buy one in July and have been doing a ton of investigate on their models.

One thing you left out is the price that your uncle is offering the computer for. If it’s a used computer, you should get more than 0-0 off the normal price of the laptop.

Since it has the touch sensitive surface and the subwoofer, I’m about 90% sure it’s an IdeaPad Y530, as that’s the only Lenovo laptop I know of with those two features and a 15.4″ screen.

Lenovo harvest are amazingly built. They have the highest rated build quality in the industry, and last forever. You’d be doing well to buy the laptop offered, if it’s at a excellent price. I would but consider the price being offered with it’s condition. If it’s about what a new laptop would cost, I would buy the new one. If it’s a lot less (like say 0 less), then I would buy the ancient one.

If you have any other questions, do feel free to message me, and I will try to help you as much as I can.

Edit: To the person who posted not more than, you must really be a hateful person if you’re going to insult someone for just being concerned about accepting help with a laptop. You also should have at least tried to help.

Also, I just looked over both the Y530 and Y550 lines, which were what I was thinking the laptop force be. The graphics card but doesn’t match the Y530 line, and the screen size doesn’t match the Y550 line, so I will continue looking to find you the laptop that was being offered unless you can find that information easily.

Congratulations even if on having finished school. I know how fantastic of a feeling that is, being a graduating senior myself.
