    As soon as the Valencia orange Y730 was announced I've been waiting for its release to get one. I assumed it would be hyped up version. But on the lenovo/us site there are only the blue ones. I found the orange one thru shop.com.



    Comparing the stats of both of them, they're very similar. AU has better screen and extra gig of RAM, but the BU has got double power on the video card. What's the deal? It doesn't seem to be anything but a paint job.

    I really want an orange one but does anyone expect a higher speed one to come out soon?

    extra 256 of memory don't make much difference if any. make sure it's gddr3 though.
