Lenovo Ideapad Z570 (59-315953) Laptop (Core i7 2nd Gen/4 GB/750 GB/Windows 7/2 GB)

The Z Series boasts of power house systems for power users who still are on a sort of tight leash when it comes to finance. Thus this laptop is a good buy. the laptop comes with switchable graphics, something the specs missed out i see. So you get 2 2 GB of graphics, (Only one card can be used at any given time). This serves as a good way to regulate the power your system uses. The build quality is also very good with ergonomically designed casing which provides protection as well as aesthetic appeal. My advice, get this powerful system as it matches most of the other brands if you were to compare, and comes at great value for money!

If you're looking for a performance laptop, but are on a somewhat of a tight budget, then look no further than this. You'll not just get the raw processing power of a second-generation Core i7, with the 2GB NVidia GT540 on board, you'll get an admirable gaming machine, too. With a good build quality/finish, generous use of metal on the chassis, an excellent island keyboard, and good speakers, you can never go wrong with this. The only downside I find is the quality of the LED-backlit display. It's not as good as you'd find on a Dell, HP, or Sony, but then again, you can't ask for everything; certainly not at a price like this. An absolutely recommended buy!
