New Lenovo Ideapad Y470 with Rapid Drive Technology

The new Lenovo Ideapad y470 comes with a lot of features which meets performance and mobility requirements. It has a good battery back up of 4+ hours which is higher than ordinary. The high battery back up is achieved by NVIDIA Optimus Technology which switches the graphics processor ON when ever it is needed only.
It also has USB 3.0 which is 10 times faster than USB 2.0. The most sriking out feature of Y470 is the quick bootion up and shutting down characteristics of system thanks to the LENOVO RAPID DRIVE TECHNOLOGY. It only requires 10 seconds for your system to switch ON.

This model is not available in India now(as on 25/07/2011). I really recommend this laptop.
Just wait for couple of months and this model will be available soon.
