Lenovo Y410: Knocking at the US Market

Without making any major announcement, Lenovo has been successful in securing some of the U.S. shelf space for their Y410 model.

Lenovo Y410, which has been available in the Asian market for a while, is starting to show up at U.S retailers like Staples, Office Depot etc.

Buyers have a choice of going for either a Pentium Dual-Core super economy model, priced at $700, or an impressive one that boasts of 1.66GHz Core 2 Duo and better specs when they throw in another couple of hundred dollars.

The basic hardware specs are not bad for either model. It’s a 14.1” thin and light notebook that has 1gb of pre-installed RAM, 160gb of hard disk capacity, dual layer DVD writer, wireless internet connectivity options, integrated webcam, X3100 graphics card to support DirectX 10, and last but not the least a multi-format card reader. To spice it up, the notebook comes with face recognition software for enhanced security and high quality audio with dedicated media buttons to entertain without the need for booting up first.

Let’s see if the Olympic logo helps Lenovo do great sales with the Y410.
