Lenovo IdeaPad Y570

Pros: Super Fast (boots in under 30 seconds)
Excellent build quality (mostly aluminum)
Awesome speakers
Great graphics card 555m Nvidia 1gb gddr5
Good battery life
Good value especially for gaming capabilities

Cons: Screen is not 1080 (but can easily output 1080+ to hdtv or monitor via HDMI
Gets a little hot

Summary: I got this as a replacement system from Lenovo customer relations when my y550 had some repetitive issues, and all I can say is WOW (like YEAH, not like the lame game) My system has the I7 2.2 quad core Sandy Bridge processor, 8 GB DDR3 RAM, 1 GB GDDR5 Nvidia 555M, 500 GB hard drive... Pretty much everything possible except the Blu-Ray and solid state HD. I compared benchmarks with my friend's brand new $1600.00 ASUS gaming laptop w/ 12 GB Ram and a 560M w/ 3 GB dedicated memory and they were so close its ridiculous. This thing plays games like a champ in ultra high settings. Sure it doesn't have a 1080 resollution screen, but for the size of the screen, the 768 looks pretty sharp, and you can easily output 1080+ via HDMI to your HDTV or monitor. The mostly aluminum build quality is great as well (much better than my all plastic y550) I cannot say enough about Lenovo Customer Relations and this system.
