There is an additional Y900 model, which ups the ante a little bit, offering more memory (64GB of DDR4 RAM) and graphics (Nvidia GTX 980 GPU) (An and Tech).


As a final part of Lenovo's Y700 series, accessories will be available for all 4 gaming system options. From the Surround Sound Headset, the Y Gaming Precision Mouse, to a microphone, and a mechanical keyboard, all items are available this month. These new efforts from Lenovo are an important part of the (slowly, but surely) growing population of portable PC gamers. Gaming customers simply need the right pricing, graphics, and power to lure them away from Lenovo's pricey competitors. Pricing is said to start at $949 for the Y700 laptop, and $999 for the Y-series desktops.
