While the Y50 features a brushed metal exterior and a matte rubberized soft-touch palm rest, the IdeaPad Y40 comes with a matte faux carbon fiber lid and brushed metal palm rest / keyboard deck instead.

The overall design is very angular with sharp lines and mirrors the larger sibling Y50 down to the wedge-shaped speaker grills located to the left and the right behind the keyboard deck, the honeycomb-styled vent intakes on the rear, and the red accent color used in several key areas. To get an idea of where the Y40 sits performance-wise, we'll compare it not only to the bigger Y50, but also take a look at other 14-inch gaming systems. Just by looking at the hardware configuration, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the performance of the Y40 lags behind the more powerful Y50. On Lenovo's website, the updated version with the slightly faster Core i7-4510U, but otherwise identical specs, sells for $850. Our review notebook features a 1.8 GHz Intel Core i7-4500U, 8 GB of RAM, and a 256 GB SSD. The Radeon R9 M275 is the only available GPU option across the board.

Although the new Y40 appears to be a scaled-down version of the Y50 much in the same way as the Y410 was a smaller version of the Y510, the two new systems do not only differ in size, but hardware as well: while the Y50 makes use of a quad-core Core i7-4700HQ or i7-4710HQ and comes with a Nvidia GTX 860M GPU, our 14-inch test candidate is outfitted with a dual-core ULV i7 CPU and a more mid-range Radeon R9 M275 GPU.Īt the time of writing, Lenovo offers seven different Y40 models within the series and a single version of the older Y410p as well. Both the 14-inch Y40 (Lenovo now seems to have dropped the "IdeaPad" name) and the recently reviewed 15.6-inch IdeaPad Y50 are updates to the previous-generation Y510 and Y410 siblings.

The current Y-series, which Lenovo calls "Premium Multimedia Laptops" on their website, encompasses models from 14 to 17.3-inches without and - in case of the Y70 - with touchscreens. Case in point: last year's dual-GPU capable IdeaPad Y510p, which was a well-received notebook selling for hundreds less than its competitors. In recent years, Lenovo has repeatedly ventured into the gaming market as well and has made some significant inroads with notebooks that provide, quite simply put, a lot of bang for the buck.
