    Greetings! I recently sold my 2010 15 inch MacBook pro and in the market for a gamming laptop around the 1,000 price range. I've been looking at the y580 and i am very impressed.

    My question is, should I pull the trigger on a y580 with the 660m gpu or should I hold off be ause there may be a faster gpu on the way? I know if I always wait for a "faster version" I can wait forever, but has anyone heard of any new product lineup updates?

    I've decided on Lenovo and this series, you get the most bang for your buck.

    Thanks

    Sorry if this is not the right thread for this but I'm in the same boat I want the Y580 with 1080p and backlit keyboard I tried newegg R&J Costco and the link that link626 posted every time sold out or back order is the Y580 being discontinued for another model?

    My previous laptop was a dell L501X which was stolen I cant find something similar to it, The new XPS line I don't like
    What I want is 1080p, back-lit keyboard, and sub-woofer if possible also I'm not gaming with this either.
    Thanks for any help.
