Y570/Y470 ship date? [ Edited ]

[jayhawk]

Dropped my Y510 one too many times, so now shopping for a replacement. (besides, S-video out doesn't cut it anymore, now that I finally have an HD TV...)

Does anyone know if the Y570 series will actually start shipping this month (April) as Lenovo states?  (per http://shop.lenovo.com/us/products/lifestyle/ideapad/y-series/y570/index.html)

Thanks --jayhawk

better to call lenovo support line ( sales department )

Don't bother contacting sales. I've called and chatted a few times with them over the last week. I got a different response each time...

1st email: Was told the site was wrong, and it would be released on May 19th...

1st call: was told there was no release date available...

2nd email: This time I was told April 19th... at the time she even emphasized "in 5 days"

2nd call: told no release date available...

hey brandothedj,

I would first like to apologize for the different response that you got each time you called in.

I am going to check on my end with regards to this and get back to you.

Hey Serge, I appreciate it!

The suspense is killing me...

Hi,

Looking for a new laptop since mine has a fried graphics card and various other problems.

Is there a set release date or price on the Y470? The official page says April.

Also, is there an expresscard on the Y470? And is it confirmed that it has the GT 550M and not the GT 555M?
