Buy y40 ? (OR A Compatible laptop?)

Hi, my first post, need help as I got couple of days to decide to buy y40 before the sale runs away.

I've been waiting for long time for doorbuster sale for lenovo laptops to come but before I buy the y40 I read couple (most) bad reviews about y40. I understand the older one y410p was better but what shall i do? school is around the corner and I don't have a laptop. If someone of y40 user can confirm it please, any other opinion is most welcome.

Is there a compatible laptop to y40 ? Let me know please.
