Lenovo IdeaPad Y530 first look

When you're shopping for a low-priced media laptop, the Lenovo brand is not likely to come immediately to mind. After all, the company is best known for its serious, business-oriented ThinkPad line. But Lenovo has been doing some interesting things with its consumer-oriented IdeaPad line, from creating a stunningly beautiful ultraportable to joining the Netbook fray. With the IdeaPad Y530, the company seems to be combining the sturdy construction and subdued design of the ThinkPad line with a feature set that's aimed at media consumption. To that end, the IdeaPad Y530's boxy black case (with, granted, a linenlike texture on the lid) incorporates both light-touch media controls and a subwoofer with Dolby Home Theater sound. It all adds up to an interesting alternative to similar midsize models from HP and Dell, especially given the IdeaPad Y530's reasonable sub-$1,000 price.

Does your infared port work? Did it come with bluetooth built in? I'm sure you need to buy a bluetooth adapter for that to work. Was it advertised with 64 bit os? Is it a 64 bit. These are the problems i have with mine and tech support just blows me off saying The store marketed wrong. I don't believe them for a minute and wouldn't buy anything from IBM again.
