The Y40 also has no Ultrabay, which served for a DVD drive or additional cooling fan on the Y410p from 2013.

In comparison to its Y510p precursor, the Y50 isn’t so flexible in terms of graphics configuration, because it doesn’t have a built-in Ultrabay which can be populated with an additional video card or DVD burner. Both graphics solutions are available with 2GB or 4GB of GDDR5 video memory. On the other side, the Y40 has the AMD Radeon R9-M270 discrete graphics and the power-efficient and cooler but also slower Intel Core i7 “Haswell” dual-core ultra-low voltage.

The Y50 is equipped with the recently announced Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M dedicated video card and full-blown Intel qaud-core i7 “Haswell” processor. The good news for those who waited for them is that the Y50 15.6-incher and 14″ Y40 are now available for purchase. That’s because they pack the latest graphics cards in a slim laptop form factor. Among gaming laptop models for this year, the Lenovo Y50 and Y40 announced back in January at the CES Show are among the most anticipated.
