The high-performance portable PCs of this Series come with up to Full HD panels and Quad-Core CPUs

China-based tech manufacturer Lenovo has apparently started shipping its latest powerful notebook, called IdeaPad Y580. This device was first introduced back in January of 2012 as part of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) that took place in Las Vegas, USA. According to an Engadget report, prices for the Y580 vary between $1,299 and $1,549, depending on the configuration. Furthermore, Lenovo knocks up to $630 off the price on selected models, if you use a coupon code available on the product’s page.

The new IdeaPad is presumably equipped with a third generation Intel Core i7-3610QM central processing unit. It incorporates four cores (eight threads) clocked at 2.3GHz – 3.3GHz (via Turbo Boost technology) and the Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics controller. Moreover, the Y580 sports a 15.6-inch LED-backlit widescreen display of Full HD (1920-by-1080 pixels) native resolution and is running a 64-bit copy of Microsoft’s Windows 7 Home Premium operating system.  

In addition to the Ivy Bridge processor, the laptop also features the high-end NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M GPU based on the new 28nm Kepler architecture. This video card delivers 2GB of dedicated GDDR5 VRAM; you can check out our Computer Games on Laptop Graphic Cards benchmark list for more info on the 660M’s gaming performance.

The portable PC houses 8GB of internal DDR3 memory, a spacious mechanical hard drive with a storage capacity of up to 1TB and a 32GB SSD (on the most expensive model) for fast boot-up times. Other specs of the IdeaPad Y580 include Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2200 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0 radios, two USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0 ports, a Blu-ray Combo optical drive, an HDMI interface, multi-in-one card reader slot and a built-in HD (720p) web camera for video calls.

This new Lenovo Y580 is pretty cool nice. I like the designs and the specs is too high because it's already ivy bridge a 3rd gen processor and the storage hard drive is 1TB. Too good for the users and specially for the developers who usually back-up many files like projects, videos, music, etc. I would recommend you to buy this product. It's not expensive for me, it's more cheaper compare to other laptops. Samsung Series 5 is also the best to buy, it's affordable too and has a high specs like Lenovo Y580....
