    Yes it is the dual core t330 processor but this usually goes for $750 and up. Tell this is a good deal ! I am about to pull the trigger. Price isnt shown online but advertised in saturday office depot coupon section.

    It's clearly a good deal if you want a Lenovo but it's merely somewhat competitive compared to sale offerings from HP or Dell which will usually give you more for your money.

    Thanks for the heads up!

    I've been planning to purchase a T61 but from reading the reviews the screen seemed a little dark.

    Glad to see the y510 and reviews for it are good so far...BUT it seems like there's only 1 configuration on office depot!

    Only

    # Intel Pentium dual-core processor T2330 operating at 1.6GHz
    # 1MB L2 cache

    I don't mind paying a bit extra to have better processor speeds and maybe at least 2MB cache...

    Check out Tiger Direct. They list a Y510 IdeaPad with a T5550 processor which is a Core 2 Duo and has a 2MB cache.
