Y Series
The first laptops in Lenovo’s IdeaPad Y Series were showcased in CES 2008. These were the IdeaPad Y710 and Y510 laptops, with 17-inch and 15-inch screens, respectively. The most significant change to the laptops was the more consumer-oriented appearance – a marked difference from ThinkPads.
The laptops in the IdeaPad Y Series were Y450, Y460, Y460p, Y470, Y480, Y510, Y560, Y560p, Y570, Y580 and Y560d.
The Y-series are referred to by Lenovo as gaming laptops due to their onboard hardware. The Y400 and Y500 laptops have an ultrabay slot which can be swapped for another hard drive, another fan or another Nvidia GT650M GPU which will work in SLI with the already integrated one to increase performance drastically. The Y580 does not have an ultrabay slot; however, it does feature a more powerful Nvidia GT660M GPU. Consumers have reported various fault with the Y series laptops; the Y500 especially is known for its poor build quality and incompatible hardware; however, the recently released models seem to be better off.

“Rosalynn said, “Jimmy, if we could only get Prime Minister Begin and President Sadat up here on this mountain for a few days, I believe they might consider how they could prevent another war between their countries.” That gave me the idea, and a few weeks later, I invited both men to join me for a series of private talks. In September 1978, they both came to Camp David.”
