Lenovo IdeaPad Y710
$1,099.00
Released February, 2008
The Pros:Beautiful sleek lines to the design with some unique features, looks very modern and high-end. Sound output is above average for a laptop, good volume and clarity. Fast enough graphics processing to run games very well.
The Cons:DVD drive is incredibly loud when used to burn a disc. Fairly large and bulky, a bit cumbersome to carry around. Number pad feels like it isn't in properly, not very stable.

Built on the now outdated Centrino platform, it includes slightly older Core 2 Duos, and DDR2 ram. Like the other IdeaPad laptops, Lenovo has reserved the option for heavy customization one has come to love and expect from the ThinkPad line.
