    The US price looks very tempting... unfortunately, after it's long anticipated arrival in Ireland the pricing has changed dramatically (1,200 yoyos). We have an ongoing thread re the Y510p here in this forum.

    They don't appear to ship outside the US and Canada on that site.

    The base price of the laptop is 1199USD with a 350USD coupon...

    Probably not, since they do business in Ireland. You may have a friend/relative in the US buying it for you and send it over but you're still liable for 23% VAT.

    TBH, 600 yoyos won't buy you a gaming laptop.

    Any particular games you have in mind?

    While certain video and image editing programs benefit from hardware acceleration, processing power and system memory are more important.
