If you liked yesterday’s laptop deal but wanted something a little bigger, more powerful, yet just as mobile, you’ll love the Lenovo U530. With a Core i7 processor, 1080p touch display, dedicated graphics and a battery life of up to 10 hours, it’s a strong performer across the board, and you can take $500 off this well spec’d config. That’s a total savings of 40% off the full price, but it ends today.
This Lenovo U530 config is powered by a dual-core Core i7-4510U processor, a low-voltage CPU that works to balance premium performance with battery life. It also packs dedicated a 2GB Nvidia Geforce GT 730M graphics card, a solid mid-range chip that will be able to handle today’s games with respectable detail, as well as display 4K video. The 15.6-inch display gives you a full 1920×1080 resolution with 10-point multitouch capability, so your HD media will look crisp and you’ll also be able to tap and swipe your way through everything Windows 8 has to offer.
A 1TB hard drive provides plenty of storage space, so you won’t run out of room for the games or 1080p movies you want to keep with you. Multitasking will also be a snap with 8GB of RAM coming standard.
lenovo-u530-laptop-touch-back-sideIntel’s Wireless-N 7260 and Bluetooth 4.0 cover your wireless connectivity, while three USB ports (one USB 3.0), HDMI, and a multi-card reader cover you for physical ports. Note that there’s no optical drive here, a choice that helps keep this laptop thin and light.
With a weight of 5.07lbs and a stylish metal shell measuring .87-inches thin, the optical drive’s sacrifice was not in vain. The battery life of up to ten hours cements this as a mobile laptop that’ll travel easily, and potentially without the need for a power cord. There’s also a backlit keyboard, perfect for working during flights or on the go. Snag this deal while it’s here today and save big on this powerful model.
