    Hey,

    Today is the last day of the St. Pattys sale and Lenovo put back in stock the Y530 for $499

    Specs:
    System components
    # Intel® Pentium® Dual Core T3400 processor ( 2.16GHz 667MHz 1MB )
    # Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium
    # Intel Integrated Graphics X4500
    # 2 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1066MHz
    # 15.4 " WXGA TFT with integrated camera LCD Glossy 1280x800
    # Industry Standard Touchpad
    # 250GB 5400
    # DVD Recordable (Dual Layer)
    # 6 Cell Lithium-Ion
    # Intel Wireless Wi-Fi Link 5100

    the questions:
    - Will the 550s be even close in price (my guess is they will be ~$800)
    -Will the 530s be even cheaper once 550s are released, or is this deal sweat enough
    - Are the 550s worth the extra $$$
