    I can safely say you will need to wait till Q1 2014 before a Y series refresh, that's when the Nvidia 8xx cards will come out.

    However not so long ago, a model with a touchscreen came out on the Microsoft Store:

    Buy Lenovo IdeaPad Y510p Touchscreen Laptop - Microsoft Store

    Predicted (rumored) specs:
    - HD, FHD or 3K display (the latter from the W540)
    - 850M SLI (Will most likely be a rebranded GK106, check here for performance: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M SLI - NotebookCheck.net Tech)
    - Maybe a Broadwell chip, but apparently those are coming out in Q3

    None of this is confirmed, it is just pure speculation.

    Maybe because MS does an in-house screen mod. Plus, MS is after all the leader in all the touch-screen-metro BS, so its kinda expected.

    The advantages of buying from MS store is the lack of bloatware and their excellent warranty service.
