Outfitted with Intel’s second-generation “Sandy Bridge” iCore processors, the IdeaPad Y560p amplifies everything you thought possible with a 15-inch machine. There are also numerous entertainment and multimedia-oriented tools, like Split Screen and Lenovo Direct Share, to help you manage and maintain your social network and favorite media.

The IdeaPad Y560p starts out at $849 and is currently available from Lenovo, as is the IdeaPad Y460p. Let’s check out more of this machine to see the many features you’ll enjoy for such an affordable price.

Ultimate Mobile Performance

Intel is calling it the “Sandy Bridge” series, but you’ll know it better as the second-generation of the revolutionary iCore chips. These new processors are faster, more powerful, more efficient, utilize multiple cores and improve threading, and even give you a more enhanced graphics experience should you not want to purchase a discrete graphics card.

The base model comes with the Intel Core i3-380M, but the IdeaPad Y560p features processors as powerful as the Intel Core i7-740QM quad-core processor. The machine is also capable of holding up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM; that will ensure that you have no trouble multi-tasking or embarking on serious gaming marathons.

Also available on the IdeaPad Y560p is Lenovo’s new Rapid Drive Technology, which pairs a 32GB solid-state drive with a high-capacity disc-drive. The innovation comes not in the pairing of the two technologies, but in the fact that the Y560p will recognize the two drives as one, meaning that you don’t have to worry about drive mapping, drive coordinating, or anything like that. Lenovo has already done it for you.

Premium Audio & Video

No IdeaPad would be complete without a solid foundation of multimedia hardware and software, and the Y560p lives up to its name.

For starters, the new 12EU graphics processing unit built-in to the “Sandy Bridge” processor architecture gives you the ability to enjoy 3D gaming and advanced graphics processing without purchasing a discreet graphics card, so you shouldn’t worry about purchasing the “base” model with integrated graphics card. However, if you’re a serious gamer, you’ll likely want to opt for the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730 graphics card with 1GB of graphics memory.

Any gamer or movie buff knows that it’s not entertainment unless there is great audio. That’s why the Lenovo IdeaPad Y560p comes with high-end integrated JBL speakers that are powered by Dolby Home Theatre sound.

There is also an integrated DVD-R/Blu-ray optical drive, four USB ports, audio jacks, integrated webcam, WiFi, Ethernet, optional WiMAX, and a display port for connecting to external monitors.

Elegant, Stylish, Modern

Last, but not least, is the IdeaPad Y560p’s design. The brushed metal case – available in a sleek gunmetal grey or a no-fuss and elegant white – is not ostentatious, but once you look, you won’t be able to take your eyes away.

The case features a nice bezel around the edges, a flat palm-rest with a TouchPad that is just slightly inset, and a large island-style keyboard that makes full use of the available real estate.

Lenovo IdeaPad Y560p - The Best Around

There’s not much that could make the Lenovo IdeaPad Y560p a better machine. It features plenty of power options, a beautiful 15.6-inch display that completely draws you in, great audio, and most importantly, an appealing price.
