Windows 7 - Lenovo B470 Reviews?

MCleveland · 08-08-2011

Does anyone have a Lenovo B470 that can tell me if they like it or not? I can't find any reviews online for it. It's currently on sale at the Lenovo website for $599 and I'm thinking about picking it up. Here's the link:

Lenovo B470 431523U Black Intel® Core™ i5-2410M Specs (2.30GHz 1333MHz 3MB) - Laptops - CNET Reviews

Thanks for any help!

What's your main use for the laptop?

Just general use with a little gaming. I'll be taking it to class with me so I wanted something a little smaller and lighter than the traditional laptop. I like the specs on this one, I just don't want it end up being a dud.

There will be no longterm reviews of it as it was only released in January of this year. You can find some reviews of the new release.

The specs appear to be good for what you say you are using it for. But, there are no longevity reviews. I'm not a gamer, but I don't think you will be doing any serious gaming with the Nvidia 410M. But, other than that, the specs appear to be good for a general use laptop. I think with no long term reviews you are just buying the specs and the reputation of Lenovo.

I won't be doing any serious gaming on it. Maybe just something small to kill time in between classes. Lenovo is a good brand so I think I'm going to go with it. Thanks for the help!

I think it is a good choice for you. Lenovo is a good brand and the specs are good. The graphics card is a little weak, but other than that it looks like a good laptop for school and the other things you will be using it for.

I thought so too. I decided to go ahead and order it. Thanks for the advice!
