Lenovo is entering MacBook Pro Retina territory with its new Y50 and Y40, a disk drive-less additions set of notebooks featuring Ultra HD 4K displays.
Featuring an optional Ultra HD 3840x2160 screen, the 15.6-inch Lenovo Y50 is all set to be your lightweight Ultra HD 4K gaming laptop. The Lenovo Y50 can be optioned up to a 4th generation Haswell Intel Core i7-4702HQ processor as well as one of the latest NVIDIA GeForce GTX graphics card.
Of course the biggest change from Lenovo Y500 other than that one less zero, is Lenovo scrapping the disk drive to make the new laptop just 23.9mm (0.94in) thin. The Y50 also comes with 16GB of DDR3L memory stock. Customers will have options to swap out the 1TB HDD for an 1TB hybrid drive with 8GB of SSD cache or a 512GB SSD with Windows 8.1 preloaded.
The Y50's 14-inch little brother, the Lenovo Y40 is similarly specced except it will come with a 4GB AMD Radeon R9 M270 dedicated graphics card. Both the notebooks also have a 720p HD webcam, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports, HDMI-out, as well as a 2-in-1 card reader.
Lenovo slates the new ultra-portables will enter the market beginning in May starting at $999 (about £608/AUS $1,115).
