  • The first one cannot be beaten…

  • Don't know about the value, but I'm subscribing to this thread.

  • I am also in the market for a laptop for around $500-600.

    With the minimum specs:
    Memory: 4gig
    graphics: 1gig
    HDD: 750gig
    Processor: i5

    After looking around for the past week that second one looks great!
    Never owned a lenovo before, has anyone got any thoughts?

    Also it might be first gen i5? Not sure what the difference is between first and second gen though.
    I know next to nothing about laptops so i'll also be subscribing to this thread, hopefully someone has some good input!

    • Made by IBM, i reckon they are durable cus their business type laptop

  • MSY has some cheap laptops too.
