    Yea i'm also interested in the new ideapads. Is there any major differences between the y510 and y530 other than lower voltage processors and nvidia 9500? I think they're already on sale in asia... anyone know when its coming to the US?

    I'm personally wondering about the u330. I'm trying to figure out if it'll be a good alternative to the vaio z

    Dunno. I bought a Y510 a month ago and looked at the Lenovo site last night and the models have been refreshed with a faster CPU and larger hard drive.

    If the u330 has switchable graphics with something ATI, then I'll buy it for sure

    Like dallasb mentioned, they've refreshed the entire Y510 line and I've noticed that they've added a new model to the Y710 line. I didn't check all the details but it looks like the major change is adding the T5750 CPU to the lineup. So maybe they are just trying unload these T5750 CPUs before switching to the Y530/Y730. Then again, maybe they're just waiting on things to settle down after the ThinkPad launch. I've got my eye on the Y730, so I wish we'd get more info also.

    Yeah they're available in Asia already, not sure when the US will get it though.

    stanny1, I found some reviews of the Y430 and Y530, but they're not in English though, you will have to use an online translator.
