Lenovo ships first 4K laptop, challenging Toshiba

Lenovo's first 4K laptop, the IdeaPad Y50 UHD, starts at ..$1,300

Toshiba is not the only company selling a 4K laptop anymore; Lenovo has finally shipped its first 4K laptop, sporting a 5.6-inch screen, after months of delays.
The IdeaPad Y50 UHD laptop starts at $1,299.99 and is targeted at gamers. The 4K screen can display images at 3840 x 2160 pixels, which is the highest resolution available in laptops today.
The Y50 is cheaper than Toshiba's Satellite P50T, which starts at $1,499.99. The P50T started shipping in April, but was temporarily pulled from Toshiba's website, and is now available again.
Laptop screens have so far topped out at 3200 x 1800 pixels in Samsung's Ativ Book 9 Plus, Lenovo's Yoga 2 Pro and Razer's Blade gaming laptop. TVs, monitors and cameras with support for 4K are already available.
Lenovo in January announced two 4K laptops -- the Y50 and the 14-inch Y40 -- but the initial units that shipped in May were missing 4K screens and instead came with HD screens. The Y40 model is not yet available with a 4K screen. Lenovo was having issues acquiring 4K displays, which delayed some laptops and monitors.
The Y50 has some of the latest PC technologies, pushing it into the class of a true gaming laptop. The $1,299.99 model has a Core i7 i7-4710HQ processor, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M graphics chip with 2GB of video memory, 8GB of DRAM and 1TB of hard-drive storage. The $1,599.99 model has the same Core i7 CPU, the GeForce GTX 860M with 4GB of video memory, 16GB of DRAM and 512GB solid-state drive storage.
The laptops have Windows 8, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, an HDMI connector and two USB 3.0 ports.

Mobile Device Review Framework

  Performance benchmarks that matter most Real-world performance testing goes far beyond just looking at processor speeds and RAM numbers. When conducting mobile phone reviews, focus on benchmarks that reflect how users actually interact with their devices daily. Start with multitasking scenarios - open 10-15 apps simultaneously and switch between them rapidly. Time how long each app takes to reload from memory. Premium smartphones should keep multiple apps active without constant refreshing, while budget devices might struggle after 5-6 apps. Gaming performance reveals thermal management capabilities. Run graphically intensive games for 30-minute sessions while monitoring frame rates and device temperature. Note any throttling that occurs - many devices start strong but slow down significantly as they heat up. Storage speed impacts everything from app launches to photo processing. Use tools like AndroBench or 3DMark to measure sequential read/write speeds. Modern flagship phones s...
