My suggestion is do not buy a lenovo ideapad yet.

Does not work at all with nvidia chip. I have a ideapad y470 but reportedly
it does not work even with nouveau drivers with Bumblebee. Since nouveau
doesn't even work on a Y470, Lenovo must be doing some really weird stuff
internally. Avoid like the plague.

I have not seen anyone have success yet with an ideapad and post about it
on the web somewhere. I would be SOOO happy to be proven wrong about this
however. :)
