    I tried to search to see if the topic already existed but the search seems to be broken :eek:

    I ordered my Y570 on Monday when they were doing the 48hr sale. Anyone else order or receive one of these yet? I'm interested in impressions and pictures.

    $699 before tax, listed as free shipping but it charged me $10. I chatted with someone at Lenovo and they told me to contact them after I received it and they would credit me the $10 back.

    I ordered a Y570 on May 6 and it was delivered to Niche ND on May 19th.... I live in Canada and will be picking it up tomorrow..... I ordered through the US because I could not get the SSD Rapid Drive in Canada.... To order through the US from Canada you need to have a US mailing address and a credit card with a secondary US address that matches the ship to address (call your credit card company to set up).

    Once I get the machine... I will provide my feedback...

    PS.. I paid $1,061 USD through an affinity program....
