Lenovo IdeaPad Y470p for pre-order for $799

Lenovo has started taking orders for the IdeaPad Y470p. The 14-inch IdeaPad Y470p looks just about like the existing Y470, but swaps out the middling NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M for a far more potent Radeon HD 7690M. The 2.2GHz quad Core i7 and 8GB of RAM help keep the system running at full pace. It also has an optional 1TB HDD, JBL speakers and a native 1,366 x 768 screen resolution. Other specs include a Blu-ray Disc drive, a two-megapixel webcam, HDMI out and USB 3.0. Most of the sacrifices include a short battery life, which tops out at four hours, and the 1366×768 display resolution. At just under 4.9 pounds, the Y470p is heavy relative to its screen size, although lighter than most full-size 15-inch systems. Lenovo is offering this only for $799 without having to pick any options. Orders made as of Saturday ship by February 13.
