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.

Famous quotes containing the word series:
“There is in every either-or a certain naivete which may well befit the evaluator, but ill- becomes the thinker, for whom opposites dissolve in series of transitions.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein. There is in each of these works an act of invention, an intellectual step, or short series of steps taken; that act or step is the spiritual act; all the rest is mere repetition of the same a thousand times.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
