I just bought Ideapad z570 with freeDos operating system @ 38500. It is awesome and i liked it so much. It is not as fashionable as dell but its strong.Gaming is too well.
Go for it.

I thought of buying it from ebay as i generally do
Lenovo Laptop Z570 2nd Gen Core i5 3GB 640GB 1G GC Win7 | eBay
but could not find with DOS combined with NVDIA card at a lesser price.
So i bought it from a local retail store @ 38500/-
Cheers.
