      That's odd. The System Summary shows P7450 for the processor.

      Sweet. I've been waiting for a good deal on a 14 inch laptop like this. LED screen, fast processor and dedicated video. Just ordered one.

      Uhh I got the stripped down Y430 w/ 2G DDR3 a few months ago. Got the 4G DDR3 kit from Newegg for like $50. And I think the laptop was like $429. SO this seems a bit expensive. But I only get a 160G HD. The low end Y430 while not listed on the main Lenovo web site doesnt list a LED backlight but it does, check the detailed specs.. Good luck

      What makes this a good deal is the fast processor and dedicated video card. If you were to buy the processor separately, it would cost you more than $200. So, the memory is $50, the HD is $55, and the processor is $200+. Plus you are getting a much better video card.

      From bacon:

      "Newegg has the Lenovo IdeaPad G530 Intel Pentium Dual-Core T3400 15" Notebook Computer for $449.99 Free Shipping. Tax in CA, NJ, PR, TN.

      15.4" 1280 x 800; Intel Pentium Dual-Core T3400 @ 2.16GHz; 3GB RAM; 250GB HDD; DVD burner; 802.11b/g; Vista Home Premium; webcam; 6-cell battery; 1yr warranty

      UPDATE: This config is much better than the $429 model, which has 2GB RAM, 160GB hard drive, Vista Basic, and no webcam. "

      You would think better specials would be coming down for Father's day.
