It's about balance. With things like 3D technology, Dolby® and SRS® sound
and high-def graphics, you could go completely wild with our IdeaPad laptops.
But we're keeping an eye on the responsible things, too — OneKey® data security
and VeriFace® password login. After all, life is about balance, right?

Lenovo IdeaPad Laptop Picture

IdeaPad's stylish design makes these laptops ones to see and be seen with.
No two people are the same. We kept that in mind when we designed the first
IdeaPad laptops. Fact is, we wanted to give you options for expressing
yourself. Choose carefully — you will get noticed.

Lenovo IdeaPad Laptop Picture

Need a fast laptop? You got it — IdeaPad systems get their power
from the latest processors. Intel® Turbo Boost Technology provides raw power
and speed when you need it, and more efficient performance when it suits you.
Lenovo's RapidDrive technology uses SSD/HDD storage and advanced tuning
so that select laptops can boot in as little
as 10 seconds. Serious technology so you can have fun.

The IdeaPad Y480 is fast — productivity-powerhouse fast, almost expensive-gaming-laptop-level fast — with a screen and keyboard that are first-class. Multimedia-wise, the standard WiDi, OneKey Theater, and exceptional speakers make this a top choice for anyone looking for a laptop on which to enjoy music, movies, and online videos.
