Lenovo is getting ready to introduce a new notebook model in its IdeaPad consumer line that will sport a 17-3-inch display, AMD Radeon discrete graphics and a wide series of second-generation Intel Core processors, including the upcoming Pentium CPUs based on the Sandy Bridge architecture.
The new laptop is going to be called the IdeaPad G770 and it packs a
17.3-inch screen that support an HD+ resolution (1600x900 pixels).
This can be driven by either the Intel integrated graphics or an AMD Radeon HD 6650 discrete VIDEO card seconded by 1GB or 2GB of video buffer, and users can further customize this notebook by choosing from one of the eight Sandy Bridge processors available.
The most powerful chip listed is the Core i7-2620M, but
Lenovo will also let its users go with an entry-level Pentium B950 or B950 CPU. Another interesting addition to the CPU list is the yet-unreleased Core i3-2330M.
Whatever processor you may end up choosing, the IdeaPad G770 can be configured to feature up to 8GB of DDR3 memory and storage space can reach up to 750GB.
Lenovo offers both 5400RPM and 7200RPM hard disk models, but the faster HDDs are limited to 500GB.
Other features include a DVD burner, or optional Blu-ray combo optical drive, a 5-1 card reader, integrated 2MP webcam, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, VGA and HDMI video outputs, an optional Bluetooth module, four USB 2.0 ports, and a pair of 1.5W speakers.
Lenovo also ships the IdeaPad with a series of custom applications including the OneKey Rescue System backup utility, the DirectShare DLNA tool and the VeriFace face recognition technology.
Pricing wasn't revealed, but Lenovo's website states that the
notebook should become available in May, most probably after Intel launches the Core i3 2330M and the two Sandy Bridge Pentium CPUs.
