You can't find a $800 laptop with the same specs as this laptop.
By Alex Szeto
****UPDATE***** I found out why this computer takes a while to connect to the internet. Apparently the Mcafee anti-virus program trial is the culprit. After the trial ended, I immediately uninstalled it and installed the free Avast program and this computer connects to the internet quickly. Shame on Mcafee.This lenovo y580 is one of the entry models of the y580 series. This one does not have 1080p, blue ray, or a solid state drive. With that said, I knew that before buying this laptop. I don't own blue ray movies and don't care much for 1080p screen so I went for this laptop anyway. This laptop is amazing for the price. I paid $799.99 for it and for a laptop with one of the latest high end i7 ivy bridge processors equipped with a Nvidia GTX 660, there's nothing out there that can beat it. I've searched for a laptop for months and I have yet to see a laptop with the same processor and dedicated graphics for $800. This laptop can run battlefield on high settings without any hickups. If you plan to buy this laptop, I highly recommend installing a solid state drive if you want everything to load faster.Here are the pros and cons about this laptop.Pros: Powerful CPU, dedicated GPU, light up keyboard, JBL SPEAKERS, price, and 5 hour battery life (pretty good for a high performance computer).Cons: Touchpad can get annoying (luckily you can disable it and use a mouse), Wireless card seems to delay connecting to the internet upon startup , and slow HDD.

Get it for the CPU + GPU
By Sung Chun Kim
No, the screen isn't full HD, but it's still a great gaming laptop for the price, especially if you hook it up to an external monitor. The Nvidia card is great and can play most modern games at moderate to high settings; it's not as fast as the 670M or 675M, but it's half the power draw so it stays much cooler.Personally, I've never even looked at the screen--it's constantly hooked up to a monitor, so that isn't an issue for me. The price is unbeatable for the specs.

Lenovo y580 Bug
By mccallrl
This laptop seems like a reasonably priced gaming laptop. For the money it cannot be beat.There is an old saying in the auto racing community; Fast, Cheap, Reliable, pick two. This definitely applies to Lenovo y580. It is cheap, fast and unreliable. I have had the laptop for a little over 3 days and have already started calling it the "Crash Pad". The main problem seems to be the nvidia GTX 660m. The card is extremely unstable. It will crash in just about every application. I have tried 3 different nvidia drivers and as I type this am downloading a 4th beta driver to try and solve the problem.It appears to me that the root of the problem lies in the laptop trying to switch between the integrated graphics and the nvidia dedicated card. When playing a game the card will run for about 5 mins if you are lucky, then artifact all over the place and crash to desktop. It acts like it has been overclocked too far and is unstable.To even get the laptop to use the nvidia card you have to go into the power management sections and force it to run in high performance mode. There are a series of tricks you can use to try and keep the computer running under the high performance mode which are outlined in the links below. If you do not force the card to run in high performance mode you basically have a netbook, oh and by the way there is no possible way to run at anything other than 1/2 cpu clock speed and 1/2 gpu clock speed on the battery. You have to plug it in to even get the thing to run at the factory clock speed.This has been a known issue with a substantial portion of the y580 production run. Just read the info contained in the forum thread I have listed below.With any luck I may be able to force this thing to work for a while, if the new driver downloads before it crashes.(Type "Lenovo y580 bug" into google and visit the Lenovo forums for the rest of the story)
