Question 1

Does this laptop have a dvd/cd drive?

Accepted Answer

No. It does not.

You would have buy a separate DVD/CD drive for this particular laptop. Personally, I'm considering buying a portable BD/DVD once I find a decent one for a good price.

Hello Gaurav,

I bought this computer ( Lenovo Y40 14” Full HD Gaming Laptop with Intel Core i7-4510U 2.0Ghz (3.10Ghz Turbo), 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Radeon R9 M275 2GB, JBL Speakers, Windows 8.1 64 Bit) 6 months ago.  It was refurbished, however there was not a scratch on it.  It was perfectly new looking to me, no signs of previously use.  Even had that new computer smell.

Question 3

Would this computer be good at playing the games like Dayz The forest And Elder scrolls online stranded deep and evolve will i be able to play these games on this laptop?

Accepted Answer

I recently got this laptop so I haven't gotten to test the boundaries if its abilities, however I have used Autodesk inventor which requires a decent computer to run and the laptop was O.K at handling it. I always recommend a desktop for gaming unless you have to be portable. I would recommend making your own desktop if your just want to game. I only use the Y40 for 3D modeling and other projects, but all gaming I do on my desktop. A really good gaming laptop is very expensive and the best option is making your own desktop, if you never have dont worry it is super easy to do and only takes a few hours to assemble. Long story short you could use the Y40 for gaming, but i will always recommend making a desktop.

Question 4

I really want this for lite gaming what FPS should I expect while playing Dota 2 with this laptop?

Accepted Answer

This should run Dota 2 Well over the refresh rate of the monitor, so its plenty for that. If you want to look at what the graphics card itself can do, Heres a link with a bunch of benchmarks For the r9 m275:
Notebookcheck r9 m275 into google. it wouldnt let me add a link to the website.

Down towards the bottom you can see a bunch of specific game benchmarks, along with Dota 2 :)

Question 5

Is this model have a backlit keyboard?

Accepted Answer

No. This model does not have a backlit keyboard.

The keys have red highlighting, but there is no backlight.

Question 6

Hi, Does the product have any blemishes or any physical scratches or dents? Can I get a photo of the product?

Accepted Answer

The product looks like brand new from the box. I have never bought refurbished product before. This is the first time. Unfortunely, I do not have photos. I bought it for my daughter. She is in possession of the laptop. She told me she likes it and it's working well. The laptop arrived to my home like brand new.

Question 7

Why this one is cheaper than Lenovo Notebook Y40-70 (59423042) with Corei5?

Accepted Answer

Because they're trying to get it on people's hands to encourage positive reviews. This is actually a solid laptop.

Question 8

When was this laptop manufactured?

Accepted Answer

That I did not look up which I should have.

Question 9

Is this Backlight?

Accepted Answer

No

Question 10

What is the weight?

Accepted Answer

According to PCWorld an LaptopMag, it should weigh around 4.4 - 4.5 lbs without the AC adapter, and 5.4 lbs with the adapter.

It doesn't sound too bad, considering the screen size and what's inside.

I'll know for sure soon, since I just bought one, and I'll be dragging it back and forth all Summer for classes.
