You might have forgotten all about Lenovo's IdeaPad Y580 line of laptops, which the OEM first introduced to the world way back at CES in January of this year. Well, here we are six months later and you can finally order one. Lenovo's Y580 notebooks pack a one-two punch that consists of an Intel 3rd Generation Core i7 3610QM processor (Ivy Bridge) and Nvidia's GeForce GTX 660M graphics (Kepler) with 2GB of video memory.

Listen, anyone who claims we're living in, or are on the verge of, the post PC era clearly isn't paying attention. All one needs to do is focus on Lenovo, a company that, quite frankly, is kicking ass and taking names, and not by selling tablets and smartphones, but by hawking PCs around the globe. To wit, Lenovo's worldwide PC shipments increased 44 percent year-over-year, compared to an admittedly anemic 4.6 percent year-over-year average industry growth rate (emphasis on 'growth'), and for the tenth consecutive quarter was the fastest growing among the top four PC vendors.

The new ThinkPad X1 Carbon laptop from Lenovo is supposedly the lightest 14-inch Ultrabook the world has ever seen, but don't take that to mean it's flimsy. On the contrary, Lenovo insists its ThinkPad X1 is quite the durable beast and exceeds Ultrabooks specifications by using a premium carbon fiber rollcage to create a rough and tumble system, yet weighs less than 3 pounds.

Don't you hate it when your PC literally goes up in smoke? If that's never happened to you, then congratulations, you've either been wise and insisted on purchasing quality, name brand power supplies, a little bit lucky, or both. A shoddy power supply can fry itself on a whim. We've seen it happen, and lest there be any doubt that it can still pose a problem, Lenovo has decided to expand its voluntary recall of ThinkCentre desktops due to a faulty power supply that can overheat and pose a fire hazard.
