Lenovo IdeaPad Y550 laptop - C2D processor, Windows 7 home Premium, 15.6 LED display, 3GB memory, 250 GB HD for $509.76 AC + Free shipping + tax
I missed out on the Y450 deal yesterday; however, Lenovo has a different laptop (Y550) on their site today for about the same price. Main difference is this one has a larger screen (15.6 LED), smaller HD (250 GB), and less memory (3GB)
I posted this information under the Y450 thread and someone suggested making this a new topic...so here we go.
Intel Core 2 Duo processor T6600 (2.20GHz 800MHz 2MBL2), Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 32 Bit, Intel GMA 4500M UMA graphic card, 15.6 HD WLED Glossy, 1366*768 with 1.3M integrated Camera, 250GB Hard Disk Drive, 5400rpm
I found the 509.76 price on the Lenovo shareholder site:
http://www.lenovo.com/ibmsppAfter signing into the Lenovo spp site, you will see a banner on the page that scrolls periodically. Look for the "Windows 7 is here" banner and click on "OFFER DETAILS". This will display the "Seven days of deals" page. Today's deal describes the IdeaPad Y550 laptop for $509.76 using the coupon.
614.76 sale price - USPY550DEAL coupon = $509.76
During the configuration, it looks like you can upgrade the memory to 4GB and upgrade the HD to 320 GB for $42.30 extra for a total of $552.06. Upgrading to Windows 7 64-bit is free.
My config is 4GB, 500GB, GEFORCE G 210M GRAPHC CARD, BlueTooth, Black Glossy Cover ... for a total of $595.72
Dear Valued Customer
Recently we identified a number of Y550 systems, type 4186CTO which were ordered with Windows 7, but actually shipped with Windows Vista through manufacturing error. We have corrected the situation in manufacturing and are now building with the correct Windows 7 image. Our records indicate that you have received one of these affected systems with the Vista preload. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
We have two solutions available to provide you with the intended Windows 7 image:
1) We are developing a special recovery DVD that will install the full Windows 7 enhanced experience along with the One Key Recovery (OKR) functionality that allows the system to be recovered to the factory state. This media will be shipped to all affected customers within four weeks.
In addition, we have a supplemental solution for customers seeking immediate resolution.
2) We have established a special re-imaging process and are sending prepaid shipping boxes to our affected customers beginning November 21st. We expect all boxes to be shipped by Nov 25th. The packages include all appropriate labels and instructions. Customers will use this package to send their system to our re-imaging facility where it will be reloaded with the appropriate Windows 7 version originally ordered and any pre-installed Lenovo software. Full instructions for this process and contact information is enclosed in the packaging. Turn around time is targeted for 5 working days from the time the system is sent in. Note: Any user installed software will be lost in this process and will need to be backed up prior to sending in the system.
Again, we apologize for this Lenovo error, and appreciate your concern and frustrations. Our customers are important to us, and as a measure of goodwill and confidence in the quality of these systems, we are extending the warranty by an additional year beyond the warranty term originally purchased up to a total of three (3) years. We also understand that some customers may elect to return their systems and we will expedite these requests and waive all restocking fees.
For inquiries, please contact us at 1-877-453-6686
Should I take it or should I sue them?
