For a limited time, Lenovo is selling the Y40-80 laptop for 46% off the sticker price.

And when you use today’s promotion, you’ll instantly save over 700 bucks.
Lenovo Y40-80 14-inch 1080p laptop for $849 (List price: $1599.99 — Coupon code: WSY407US72)
On the inside, the Y40-80 features a fifth generation dual-core 2.4GHz Intel Core i7-5500U CPU, a discrete AMD Radeon R9 M275 graphics card (with 4GB of RAM), 16GB of DDR3L RAM (1600MHz), a 512GB solid-state drive, Bluetooth 4.0, and 802.11b/g/n/ac WiFi support. Even better, the 14-inch display features a full HD resolution of 1920×1080, LED lighting, and an anti-glare coating.
With such beefy internals, this model makes for an excellent gaming laptop. Most PC games will run just fine on this setup, and the 1080p display means you get to enjoy HD gaming wherever you want to be. Measuring 2.9 inches thick and weighing in at 5.72 pounds, this definitely isn’t ideal if you’re flying in coach. However, this portable powerhouse is an excellent desktop replacement and LAN-party rig. If horsepower and affordability are your biggest concerns, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better laptop deal.
Windows 8.1 (64-bit) comes installed by default, so you’ll have access to thousands of apps in the Windows Store. Moreover, you’ll be eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 10 after it launches later this month. And with the advent of DirectX 12, new games should get a nice performance boost — even on existing hardware. If you choose to upgrade, this will be an even better gaming machine.
Normally, this model sells for upwards of $1600, but there’s no reason to pay retail here. Simply apply coupon code “WSY407US72” during checkout, and you’ll save a whopping $750.99. And when you use Lenovo’s free shipping, you’re only left paying $849 (plus any applicable taxes).
