Some companies give incentives/rewards programmes that allow you to get discounts on Lenovo devices. Even after the discount, they are still relatively pricey. I don't have a Lenovo though, I have an Asus grin

It is an old operating system that is no longer used. Windows took its place.

Fulaman, what are the recent types of CPU processors in the market as of last year and this year?

They are codenamed Haswell. They come in core i3, i5 and i7 configurations. Broadwell, whilst not available as of yet will be available later this year and early 2015.

The newest processors have improvements in integrated graphics and have stellar battery life.

If you can hold out/wait I recommend getting a core broadwell series.
