We recently reviewed the Lenovo B570 laptop when it went on sale at BestBuy.com for $299, now a similar version is available with a better Intel Core i3 processor the most excellent price of $379.99, this is quite a steal. The B570 sold like hotcakes during the previous deal and was gone in a matter of a day or two. But patience is a virtue and for those who waited you can now score a similar deal but with a better spec Lenovo B570. It’s an in store only deal but you can order online and select pickup at the store. The specs for the Lenovo B570-1068AQU on sale are as follows:
- Processor Intel Core i3-2330M 2.30GHz processor
- Screen: 15.6” 1366 x 768 resolution
- OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
- B570 Dimensions: 14.9” x 9.9” x 1.3” (Width x Depth x Thickness)
- Memory: 4GB RAM (expandable to 8GB)
- Storage: 320GB Hard Drive 5400RPM
- Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000
- Ports: 3 USB 2.0, 1 eSATA/USB combo port, HDMI, VGA-out, 6-in-one card reader
- Wireless: 802.11 a/b/g/n
- Battery: 6-cell, 4 hours 45 minutes battery life
- Extra Features: 0.3MP Web Camera built-in, Fingerprint card reader
- Optical Drive: DVD Burner
For a budget laptop these are great specs. The Intel Core i3-2330M is a 2.30GHz processor and will be able to multi-task with ease, it definitely will not behave like a budget processor and is in fact found in many laptops costing upwards of $700. There is no achilles heel to the B570 configuration being offered, often times with budget laptops they’ll skimp on RAM and give you only 2GB of memory, but that’s not the case here as you get a full 4GB. The build quality of the B570 is also quite good for the price, it is made entirely of plastic of course but it does not feel chintzy.
