    Are you calling Core i7 CPUs slow?

    It's not, it's a 1.73GHz with turbo boost to 2.93 GHz…

    A sys admin buys bargains for the workers, to save enough money to buy a wicked machine for themselves.

    Very few sys admin duties require a "better" personal notebook.

    Buy a Thinkpad for the business. Y Series, the quality is so so so poor.

      I would get a lower spec, business series laptop with three year warranty.

  The screen quality is a major concern: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-U-B-V-and-Z-series/Wid…

  Also, Centrecom might be cheaper? http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?sort=2a…

    Page 52 is a reply from Lenovo about the screen issues and a bios update has been released as well as new graphics drivers to resolve the issue.

    "In reply to your prior post with link to earlier post with compiled issues:

    1) Ants around the edges - this should be resolved by BIOS 59 or later (since they are inclusive of earlier updates) and updating to the latest video drivers that Lenovo offers. We have not seen the ants on systems in our possession running these updated versions.

    2) Gradients - The gradients have been improved by these same updates. When any LCD is tilted off the 90 degree viewing axis, there will be some degree of shading or change as the angle to your eye changes. This will happen on any LCD, but may be more or less pronounced depending on the type of diffuser and whether it has a gloss or matte finish."

  It has been a month and I'm still waiting for my refund cheque from MLN. Worst customer service ever. I will never deal with them again.
