I've been looking at laptops for awhile now. I need one that I can use for school/work, torrenting and limited gaming.

Lenovo is having a sale on right now and they have an ideapad that looks like what I'm looking for.

Lenovo Ideapad Y470 085537U - 14.0" Laptop.

SPECS:

2nd generation Intel® Core™ i5-2410M Processor ( 2.30GHz 1333MHz 3MB )
NVIDIA GeForce GT 550M 1GB
4 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1333MHz
14.0 " HD Glare with integrated camera 1366x768
750GB 5400 Harddrive
6 Cell Lithium-Ion Battery

Along with your other typical features.

SALE PRICE: $791.12 cdn

Do any of you know whether or not this is a good purchase? I've heard generally good things about Lenovo, and this seems to have good enough specs for what I need. Also, it's right in the price range I'm looking at and I don't want to spend over $800.

I think this is a good deal, but can anyone confirm? If not, what are some other options out there?

Thanks you for your help!
