[Comp] BestBuy LenovoV570 Refurb 15.6' 2nd gen i5-2430 6GB 750HD $299.99 338(tax in)

[zero_]

both are OOS

I assume the 249 one (ideapad) is not as well constructed as the 299 one?

[immortal_kssss]

dam it,I missed it.

Can you PM this in store?

[calgaryleb]

google v570 power, you find a lot of ppl with issues not being able to start this laptop. beware!

[dealbreaker20]

thanks guys, just used price protection and got the p580 for 249,99 instead of the 379$ i paid 2 week ago

Which one? the V570 or P580?

This one is similar except with a core i5-3210M and goes for only $249.99!

PM at FS (in stock online at $449.99). Would bring cost of the machine to $229!! Should be an easy PM as web codes are the same.

This is a superior and cheaper machine than the one posted by OP:
- faster processor
- faster RAM
- Intel HD 4000 video (not HD3000 like other)
- 2 USB 3.0 ports (none on other)
- bigger battery

EDIT: Must have been only a few in stock at BB as this sold out within minutes. Still in stock at FS, worth a PM attempt

i just bought this for 379 with 5% off 1 week ago will they PM me for the 249 price + 5%?

I'd say buy this model for backup, it is good deal but the model P580 is much better and only at $249 (currently OOS). BB already restock this model P580 two times. So standby..
All the great info + tips + solutions (contributing from RFD community) for the P580 (V570) models is in this thread (you won't regret reading it

Just PM'd FS to BB's price, first the rep told me that since BB is OOS he cannot PM but I told him that some stores that I've called has stock(I didn't call..and just threw out random cities LOL) and he said Yup, I can verify it's in stock and he processed the PM!

This is for the P580!

Edit: Forgot to say thanks to jakemtl and cshan2!

Widely reported motherboard failures on the V570. Caveat emptor.

[Westnylenet]

Yeah i hope to get price protection on my instore purchase aswell.. Do i need to physically bring the unit and box? or just invoice is fine...?

Had this happen to me just a week past futureshop's 30 day return policy. Required shipping to lenovo

[wszeto28]

Thanks OP!!

I purchased the P580 2 weeks ago when it was selling for $379.99 at Best Buy. I was just within their 14 day return policy.

I called BB customer service and they processed a refund for $130+tax. Refund should take approximately 7-10 business days.

It seems like boxing week sale just happened. First the $325 Asus TF300T+Keyboard, then $300 Asus VivoTab RT, then $200 Toshiba AT300, and this $250 P580. I got that from FutureShop PMed for $362.99, and just got another PM done tonight for $238.69+tax.
