Let's talk about performance. This laptop is a beast; Skyrim automatically set its defaults to ultra settings. Screen is gorgeous, trackpad is ok to me, I really like it, but might be because I have not played with a macbook pro (people say y580's is cheap compared to MBP). Keyboard is also good and the backlight is a good addition. Be aware of 2 things: this model only has 2xUSB 3.0 ports and the rest are 2xUSB 2.0, apparently this is due to being one of the early builds from Lenovo (later models offer 3x3.0 & 1x2.0), but again, not a big deal to me since I can probably buy a port replicator and add more external drives. Probably the only downside of this laptop is the lack of the mSATA drive already installed with Windows running from it. It features a 750GB 5400RPM drive which limits Windows performance a bit. You can get an mSATA SDD (up to SATA 3) and do a clean installation of windows by yourself to boost up performance. I bought an mSATA II 64GB kingston drive that I have to yet install myself (also no screws included, you need to get those yourself probably from an old laptop, look around for M2x2mm screws). Only reason why I have not done that myself is because I am really lazy and have not found a really good guide for a fresh install specific to this model.
