    Hello everyone.

    2016's going to end soon and I'm seeing the same components most especially the GTX 960M Maxwell graphics card on the Y700/Y900 series 15" and 17". I was holding out for either the 14" hoping it would get a Polaris GPU as it had the previous generation Radeon M375 but noticed it got yanked from Lenovo's listing. Looking at the 15" and was hoping it could have Pascal graphics but no news about any refresh what so ever.

    I'm guessing 2017 is where the refreshes are at, but I'm not sure. At this point, adding Kaby Lake would make sense but they're getting left behind by practically every laptop manufacturer out there with their new Pascal laptops.

    Anyone have info on news/rumors/announcements about refreshes of the Y700/Y900?

    EDIT: Saw this http://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo...AiO-Y910-notebook-and-Y710-Cube.171899.0.html but no reviews on the Y910 laptop. It does have Pascal, though.
