Similar to this deal a month ago but $100 cheaper. 17.3" laptop with a big but mediocre screen, a dual core Skylake i7, a slow 2TB spinning rust and low end dedicated graphics that probably won't let you play AAA games at full resolution. However it's $899 delivered from Lenovo.

  I know it's cheap, but 1600x900… seriously?

    It's a whole lot better than 1366 x 768. It's a decent price for people who don't intend to carry their laptop around a lot, and want less eye strain than on a 15.6" screen.

      calculating the PPI:

      1366 x 768 on a 15.6 inch display is 100 PPI

      1600 x 900 on a 17.3 inch display is 106 PPI

      Which is about a 6+ PPI improvement. For reference, 1080p at 17.3 inches is 127 PPI.

      I agree it's not as bad as 1366 * 768 (because at 768 you can't even see past the header of some websites and will need to scroll a lot)

      but 106 PPI things still look quite pixelated. Well, it's a 'budget' laptop, so you get what you pay for.

  For a game like World of Warcraft which is more CPU than GPU, this would be perfect.

  Just noticed that Lenovo puts the control and function keys in the right place on these Ideapads compared to the thinkpads. A definite bonus :-)

    That's more of a "feature" of ThinkPad, which is probably the only one putting Fn & Ctrl in the right place :)
