I had a look at this model recently, the accutype keyboard is just awesome, best that I've seen in any laptop. The retailer was quoting 50K for the same, not sure if you are getting a better deal.

GeForce GT 645M, one of the best in the market right now as far as graphic cards go.

I wonder how is the battery backup is on this. It comes with a 4 cell battery, whereas the z580 has 6 cell. Except for the graphics card and extra 2GB RAM, both models are identical.

Wow... I was thinking about Samsung NP550 but it had heating issues. I think this is the perfect laptop for me..
Hoe is the build quality?? And what about sound quality??

From whatever I've seen firsthand, the build quality is pretty good, one of the selling features of this laptop is that it is slimmer than other notebooks (not the ultrabook range). Battery power is less though, comes with only a 4 cell, I guess thats the sacrifice for the sleek looks. Sound quality was good for me, although I'm no expert in this area.

If you are willing to wait for 6 more months, the touchscreen version might be hitting our shores, no idea about the cost.

One thing to watch out with this model - it comes with a 4 cell battery, so you have to watch out for the battery power on this one. Given that it comes with a powerful GPU, it may give just 1-2 hrs of battery backup. I also believe the battery is also integrated inside the system, unlike other laptops were it can be disconnected easily, so you can't carry a spare with you.

Both Z500 and Y500 have been discontinued on Flipkart. I'm not sure if this implies on lenovo dealers as well. Could be a rectification of price/model specs or anything from flipkart's side too..

Maybe there's some stock availability issues. Whatever it is, I'm guessing it's got something to do from flipkart's end, not officially.
