Y Series laptops are marketed as premium high-performance laptops for multimedia and gaming. The IdeaPad family is a line of consumer-oriented laptop computers.

The IdeaPad Y40 and Y50 were released in 2014 and feature a gaming-oriented design shift and slimmer body. The IdeaPad Y series was replaced by the Legion Y series after the release of the Y700 in late 2015.

The Y40 models also feature an Intel Core i7 processor with an AMD Radeon R9 M270 video card with 2 GB of VRAM. Later models came standard with Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M video cards. The Lenovo IdeaPad Y40-70 was sold standard with 8 GB of RAM that is expandable up to 16 GB and a 256 GB solid-state drive (SSD).
