    Hi guys, I'm a new member. Hello for everyone.

    I have in plan to buy an laptop. I'm thinking between U410 or Y400. Both are i7 processors, and 8 GB RAM etc.

    I don't play games but i like power and performance. The things I like to do sometimes i like to "play" with pictures in Photoshop and the highest things what i do is programming.

    What is your suggestion? Also, if you have something else, I would like to hear.

    Thank you everyone!

    i think you might need the u410 over the y400 here is why
    y400
    +looks amazing
    + high power and graphics
    - weighs quite a bit
    - low battery life
    - new product has less support at the moment

    u410
    + weighs 4 pounds which is epic
    + core processors are capable to do pretty much anything
    - no graphics ( the newer ULTRABOOKS have gt 610 which is enough for photo editing
