    The new Lenovo ideapad Y650 is available in the US with a NVIDIA® Geforce G 105M video card.

    On the China website the ideapad Y450 and Y550 model are available now:

    http://appserver.lenovo.com.cn/product_racklist.aspx?rackcode=A03B07C13

    In black as well as white (for those that did not want the white keyboard).

    The thing that I do not understand is why do the 14" Y450 and 15" Y550 come with the NVIDIA® Geforce G 130M video card while the Y650 has the G 105M? Also, the Y450A-TFO is listed on the website is listed with the G 110M video card while all the rest have G 130M. :confused:

    I guess we will have to wait until the Y450 and Y550 release in the US, but if they do come out with the G 130M card that will be a really nice all round notebook for $829.00. I read Mid April is the expected release date for the US.
