Boot up quickly. Sick of waiting forever for your laptop to start? Enhanced Experience 3.0 for Windows 7, available on select Y Series models, allows for boot times as speedy as 10 seconds or less.
Transfer data 10 times faster. USB 3.0 ports — available on select models — transfer data 10 times faster than USB 2.0 connectors and use less energy to do so.

Premium audio. World-renowned JBL® speakers deliver a premium audio experience.
HD in 3D. Prepare to be awestruck. Select IdeaPad Y Series models feature 3D technology that represents a new milestone for laptops.
Real metal shells; textured surfaces; striking, powerful designs — these are just a few of the features you'll see adorning IdeaPad Y Series laptops.
