    Pretty good prices, I'd totally pick one up if I wasn't waiting for Windows 7.

    I ordered the Y530-405166U for $653.65 as a graduation gift for my little sister. A great discount off the $949 original price! :D

    Hi allfireup, I have followed the link, but seen only the non-LED version. Could you check it again.

    EVERY Y530 model currently available on the Lenovo site, whether Home Entertainment or High Performance, has an LED-backlit display EXCEPT Y530-40512AU (the first model listed on the High Performance page).

    The specs you see on the linked pages do not specify that the display is LED, but they are. See pages 32 thru 35 of this document for proof- LINK

    Thanks, allfireup. It's clear that those are very good deal from Lenovo.

    I wish if there also coupon applied for Y430, but it seems none.

    Regards,
