IdeaPad Y470p, a top range laptop designed for gamers

Lenovo has created a new laptop called the IdeaPad Y470p, which although compact, has notable features of a product targeted at gamers.

Certainly those who love video games has some very specific demands in terms of hardware, and beyond the monitor 14 "1366 × 768, made ​​to keep the laptop small, inside there is anything that might serve to who has to move away from its giant tower hyper-powerful, but the mouse does not want to hang on a nail.

The GPU is a Radeon HD 7690M, while the processor a 2.2GHz quad-core i7 with 8GB of RAM. The HD comes to 1TB (optional), but the battery is stopped after a maximum of 4 hours of use in ideal conditions. Other features will be a Blu-ray player, HDMI port and at least one USB 3.0 port. The cost for this small laptop starts at $ 800 for up to $ 1200.

The price is good, the pieces fitted in well, but in fact the screen to 1366 × 1768 is almost an anachronism in 2012. We agree that a small laptop expresses its full possibilities only when attached to an external display, but Lenovo (or more likely its supplier of screens) are not even attempting to bridge the gap.
