You pay $749 and get a $150 cashback.

I haven't seen a current generation i7 for this cheap yet. Don't worry about the model number as it leads to a completely different model altogether.

Confirmed by matchray that it is a 2nd generation Sandy Bridge i7.
Also from CC's Facebook: Centre Com This y560 has a i7 2630QM (2nd gen sandy) and does not have USB3.0.

          Yeah, sorry, I changed it since the website changed it.

  • Maestrok on 15/12/2011 - 16:16

    Hmm.. definitely tempted. i7 Lenovo for under $600 if you can pick up. If not shipping cost will add another $15-$20 depending on location I would expect (I got $16.50 for Vic metro).

    Can anyone comment on the build of the Ideapad? compared to the Thinkpad? I use a Thinkpad for work but am looking for something for personal use at home…maybe some portable minor gaming etc. Would this suit?

        Good laptop, have one.

        Battery life is 3-4hr normal use. 2hrs video etc. Weight distributed. Powerful but still not a pure gaming laptop so it should play all the new games but not at the best levels (esp. the new ones).

    • twinbag on 19/12/2011 - 13:47

      Lenovo's are of a good build quality. My only criticism of the Y560 is that the lid is very thin and feels a bit flimsy.

  • topstuff on 15/12/2011 - 16:29

    No Gig ethernet, no usb 3? No thanks.

      What were you expecting for a $599 laptop?

      • topstuff on 15/12/2011 - 16:35

        well it seems it was a typo and has gig ethernet…
        but i imagine an i7 will be quite hot, i would settle for an i5, with usb 3, and depending on usage, lower grade video or onboard.
        A "desktop replacement" or gaming lappy one can not do properly for this price range without massive compromise.

        • kheob on 15/12/2011 - 16:59

          Huh? So you're saying there must be some kind of catch because it's too cheap?

        HM55 chipset as listed does not support 2nd gen i7's…. So unless the chipset is wrong then it won't be sandybridge.

        Well, the guy in store told me that, and that the old model is out of stock, despite what the online store says. He told me the laptop will cost $900 for their "current" model. If I wanted to purchase at that price, he wanted an invoice number.

    • bargdebarg on 16/12/2011 - 18:16

  • fatty08 on 16/12/2011 - 13:20

    If I order online, how long will it take for delivery? Remember we only have one week to claim cashback from the day of purchase.

    • Naed on 16/12/2011 - 13:30

      2 weeks according to Lenovo site.

      IDEAPAD Y SERIES
      Visa Cash Card: $150
      Please note: Cash Back offer exclusive to the models listed below during eligible offer dates.
      Please hurry, Cash Back claims must be lodged via the website within 2 weeks from the sale date, so don't forget!

      • fatty08 on 16/12/2011 - 13:48

        Offer ends 31 Dec, so it's meaningless to received it in 2 weeks?
        Or can we get the invoice right after ortder completes and can claim immediately? Sorry, this question sounds dumb, because I never bought Lenovo online before.

        • Naed on 16/12/2011 - 13:57
          +1

          Perhaps you could go to the website and check :)

          Anyway, you have until the 31st of Dec to buy, then 2 weeks from purchase date to redeem. To complete the redemption you'll either need the serial number on the invoice (not sure if Centre Com have been doing this) or to send a photo of the serial number to [email protected]. For the second option you obviously can't redeem until you get the laptop.

        • kheob on 16/12/2011 - 14:08

          I think you're misinterpreting what Naed is saying. He is saying that you have 2 weeks to claim the cashback, not 2 weeks for CC to deliver. Centre Com ship with TNT I think, so you should receive it in a day or two.

        • kirynflare on 18/12/2011 - 22:05

          So they charged you $749 before cashback for the LENOVO Y560P (4397M2M)?

          Did you have to say anything to them at the Sunshine store?

          Or did they just give it to you?

          I'm looking to purchase from Sunshine too, since my local Centrecom isn't being very helpful at all.
