Besides the shipping delay, a few other things to keep in mind:
- the lower-end Y480's are coming with the 640m LE, which is a much-inferior card to the standard 640m. It's not clear yet which version the 209386U has, even though it lists 2GB memory
- also not clear if the OS is on the 32GB SSD. Stands to reason it is, but I'm not sure I'd trust the sales rep if you ask them.
- this is the first week Lenovo has listed the Y480 -- for sure prices will come down (and options will go up) in the next several weeks. So caveat emptor.
