Lenovo Y410 Notebook Has Facial Recognition, Special Media Playback
Posted by Jason Chen at 5:20 AM on October 30, 2007
Lenovo's previously Asia-only Y-series notebooks just crossed the Bering Strait and landed in the US, bringing both facial recognition, a 1.3-megapixel webcam, and a special Shuttle Center control that lets you play back music and movies without booting the main system. Underneath these special features are pretty standard-issue equipment for a laptop around $735: 1.46GHz Pentium, Vista, 1GB Memory, 14.1-inch display, 160GB hard drive, and DVD burner. You can get a little beefier by buying from Office Depot and getting a 1.66GHz Core 2 Duo and 2GB memory, which costs $900. [Lenovo via Electronista]

Just purchased one of the Office Depot ones. Thinking of rolling back to XP pro in hopes to boost speed. More updates as I get into it.

Touch pad is there - it's just flush with the rest of the wrist-rest. I'm thinking about getting one of these, myself. The better question is. . . where is the webcam? This image can't be of the model we're talking about with Facial Recognition.
