Saw that there is a $75 Gift Card with Purchase of Lenovo G560 06793JU 15.6-Inch Laptop, this price sounds good to me.

Up to the new 2010 Intel Core i5 processor...

Is this a good laptop?

It's probably a fine laptop. I've worked a bit with the older G550's and wasn't too happy with them. Plastics feel OK, but have a lot of flex to them. Keyboard's nice, but I'm not a fan of number pads on laptops (throws things off IMO). I'm not sure how much of this would actually correlate to the newer laptops though. I'd suggest checking one out in person if at all possible.

Oh yeah. And we've gotten a number of IBM Thinkpads in the shop recently with varying hardware issues. As well as they may be built, I'm beginning to think twice about Lenovo's over-all quality.

It's nice, but don't you think you should find a laptop with a better video card?
Intel GMA 4500MHD isn't very good...
