Lenovo Yoga C940 14" Review 

what I love about her the most is she starts right away and doesn't fuck around like other reviewers

Bought it 2 weeks back. 16gb ram, 1Tb, 4K model. Battery life 6.5 to 7 hours average on video streaming. Pen is just wow & sound bar hinge is just amazing experience. Never heats up. Rapid charging is extremely super fast. Will rate it 10/10.

It's always good to watch reviews on laptops i can't afford.

I almost ALWAYS wait for Lisa's review. ☺️👍🏾 Straight up no chaser. She dives right into the goods.

Thanks Lisa for this long awaited review. I'm glad I waited for your review. I was considering getting the FHD display but after you placed the two models side by side I think I'll go in for the 4k display. Thanks again!

Thanks for doing this review. It's one of the best made reviews on the C940..... concise yet detailed! Thanks also for comparing the FHD and the UHD display.

Yay I've been waiting for an actual good review of this

I really love her way of presentation and her T shirts. Thats what makes her different from others.

not gonna lie, I always look forward watching your reviews as well as what is printed on your shirt 😂

Lisa's reviews are my go to for pretty much everything. At MTR, they do a great job at just getting to the point and give you all the necessary information you need. Thank you guys! P.S. I love your shirts 😀

Easily the best laptop tech reviews on RU-vid. No fluff. Not just specs, some good analysis too. I always learn a lot. Thank you!

As always the best and most reliable tech reviews on yt. Looking forward to buy the C740 version from Lenovo cause lower budget. Greets from Germany

First time I've seen this reviewer. I love it. So much good information without feeling like a robot. The product also looks great! Thanks!

This helped me choose between the 2 in 1 Dell XPS . The Lenovo seems so much better and checks all the boxes for me thanks!! Love your reviews!!

I was searching for your video this morning wondering if you did the new 940 , AND HERE IT IS!!!! Love your reviews for artist 👩‍🎨

I stumbled upon your channel while looking for a 2in1 laptop for work and well your videos are really well put together and you show the pros and cons really well.

Woo! Been waiting for this! Still waiting for my Thinkpad X1 Yoga 4th Gen to get here, but I'm still curious about this one! I love this! So cool you got both versions to show us what they're like! Thanks for doing such a detailed review on both! Sure that was more work, but really appreciate it! :D

This laptop is absolutely perfect for university, got one with the 1080p display and its very capable

Very thorough review, to the point, answered all my questions.

Nice review, and I especially enjoy opening the units up for us to peek around. I have owned several YOGA style Lenovo laptops, and considered this model until I saw the soldered in RAM and Wi-Fi card... Typing this on a two week old HP ENVY x360 15, powered by an AMD RYZEN 5 3500U CPU. This is a very nice rig with great Bang & Olufsen sound, great battery life, very nice FHD IPS display with Radeon Vega graphics, good thermal control, all aluminum construction with great workmanship, w/ keypad, precision touch pad, came with the HP tilt-pen, etc, etc... And with non-soldered RAM and Wi-Fi card. $509.99 from the HP store with Military discount, and so far I am pleased, especially for the price.

Thanks for the great review, Lisa. I just got one and opted for the 500 nit screen. The battery life of the high-nit screen, in practice, isn't an issue because the screen is so good and rich and detailed that in a normal indoor environment, the most comfortable setting is 4 or 5 of 10. That extra brightness is great for watching content, but for standard work or browsing, 4 or 5 are great for indoor home/office use. For comparison, I normally run my T480s screen at 8 of 10, and in theory it's a 350nit (LG/Philips WQHD) screen, so the C940's battery life is the same or a little better. The keyboard isn't quite as 'Cadillac' as my T480s, but it's very good and has a nice precision to it. For anyone but a novelist, it's absolutely fine. It reminds me of a slightly lower action and more clicky version of the Apple wireless keyboard, and the touchpad feels identical to a circa 2012 Macbook, which IMHO was the pinnacle of touchpads in size and feel and better than the slightly higher friction Thinkpad touchpad. What a wonderful laptop. The only downsides were having to de-bloat it and go into BIOS to enable Fn to work properly (it ships disabled, which is opposite of how Thinkpads ship, so you have to use the Fn key to change volume/brightness etc.)

I have the Lenovo C930 and its an amazing laptop. Now with these upgrades for C940, it must best 2 in 1 Laptop in the market right now!

Hello Lisa :) I wanted to say, THANK you so much for your review on the Samsung Galaxy Book 12, I just bought an used one and it writes amazingly. For me, I believed it wrote better than even the iPad Pro! My friend has this laptop and I didn't particularly like its writing experience with its stylus but it is a lovely computer and design. The soundbar location is amazing.

Finaly geez been waiting for a long time

Nice review, 👍 keep up the good work, you've done have a great job reviewing

Another fantastic review, Lisa!

Been waiting for this review!! :-)

Wow! Love the shirt! Haha! Hilarious! Thanks for the review! Easy to understand and love how you compare to the other laptop. Good comparisons and good explanations of the pros and what the laptop is able to do!✨💯

Wow! Awesome review, you really mentioned everything I was curious about, and great footage! I'm trying to figure out which laptop is the best fit for me... Besides office use and several chrome windows with many tabs I want to be able to play minecraft and the sims 4. How do lenovo yoga c740, c940 and s740 compare? Is it worth the money to get better graphics with the c940 compared to the c740? There happens to be a huge sale on the c740 atm, and the c940 and s740 are a lot more expensive! Would greatly appreciate your advice! Edit: I want a 14''

Amazing review!! Could you consider doing one for the yoga c740 as well?

Good review. Would be nice if you could also squeeze in some time to measure how much noise the laptops makes at idle and at thermal load.

Nice video - as always. Thank you very much for your time!

I got mine about a month ago. The i7 with 1080p, 16 GB ram, 512 GB, iron gray. For just web browsing and whatnot, I get around 10 hours of battery. Very quiet when doing the same; fan doesn't even run. My benchmarks of its samsung PM981 nvme are actually better than the samsung 970 Pro nvme that I have in my desktop. For general computing, and some builds of software projects, it performs great. I love that Lenovo allows the TDP to be changed on the fly between 15W or 25W using the Fn+Q key, to get some extra "ooomph". Beware, though that anything where all the cores get completely maxed out for a length of time - e.g. handbrake or 7zip compression - the heat pretty quickly causes it to throttle down to 2.5 or 2.6 Ghz (its max turbo is 3.90). My only real complaint (which will sound silly to most) is the keyboard backlight: it turns off after just 15 seconds of inactivity (turns back on, of course, if you press any key). So, really annoying to use in a dim or darkened room: I take my hands of the keyboard for a few seconds to scroll down a page, and when I go to type again, I'm like "where's the keys"?

Im glad i watched your review appreciate you thanks

Great vid!!! Would love to see a review of a C740!

Thanks for the great review. You really persuaded me to get this machine. I bought the laptop, got it some days ago and I am really happy with it. I just noticed a slight difference in colour between the bottom and top half of the casing and the keys. It looks somewhat odd. Did you notice that problem on the iron grey device, too?

love your reviews

Can we have smackdown of the top three, please! You also forgot to mention which one does not show your finger marks.

Extremely informative. Thank you so much!!!

I purchased the Yoga C940 recently because of this video. I replaced a Yoga 2 Pro. I had played with the C940 in Best Buy briefly, but this video was extremely helpful in my decision to purchase this laptop. It is a work of art, in my opinion. I got the 16gb ram, 1Tb ssd, full HD model - I don't need 4K. The keyboard is so quiet compared to the Yoga 2 Pro, and the extra screen real estate is so nice. Thank you for such an informative video!

I bought the c940 FHD model in December. I loved the laptop initially, and still do, but after about a month it started to freeze up a lot and I had to manually shut it off and restart. Now its freezing up several times a day and some weird red smbols and patterns show up on the screen when it locks up. I just contacted Lenovo to send it in for repair. I dont think a three month old laptop should be failing already, let alone one that is $1200 which is a lot of money to me.

Really outstanding package. My last ThinkPad experience was less than stellar, but this seems to be nicely configured and well designed. I may definitely consider this as my next upgrade. More likely than not, I will get the base configuration with the 16 GB RAM upgrade and call it good from there. I'm not much a fan of 4K on such a small size and Windows is still miserable about scaling, plus the battery and performance gains with the Full HD panel will be much appreciated. Great review, as always!

I'm getting this in a few days. I'm so excited.

Could this computer work with programs such as autocad, solid works or similar engineering programs

Being looking forward to ur review on this. Can u do a comparison of this and the other 2in1s too

Awesome review! Will you review the C940 15"? I would love a smackdown of the C940 14", the HP Spectre x360 13, & the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 as well. I love Thinkpad keyboards, but I'm not a huge fan of the Lenovo Yoga keyboards. Their key travel is very shallow. Also, I don't know if I'm the only one who has this problem, but the edges are sharp. They poke my arms while I type. The best keyboards I've found have been the Lenovo Thinkpads and Microsoft Surface Laptop Alcantara keyboards. They're a dream to type on.

Smack down with the new spectre!

Best reviews, ty!

I recently bought a loaded up S740 with an i9 cpu and UHD panel. I’m sitting here hoping you will review one before I open mine. 🙂

Hey Lisa, thanks for the review! How would you rate the display coating/reflectivity? Not sure if you are able to measure/compare that (some reviewers like rtings do this and I find it tremendously useful). I know they are glossy but there can be huge differences, e.g. I know macbooks have probably the best anti-reflective glossy coatings so I'd love to see that comparison even if just subjective with a video demonstration included). And thanks especially for showing display measurements, I don't buy a laptop without knowing them!

Superb review as always. Could you please perhaps do a feature and size comparison video of the S940 and C940? I can't decide which one to buy :/

I'd love to see a review of the all new 2020 15 inch hp spectre x360 with the 1650ti, I'm curious if the slimmed down size make it much better as a 2 in 1

I love your work! Thank you and keep it up! But doesn't HP make the Spectre with an OLED?

I wonder if it will be durable for travelling and business too ? I consider it instead of my thinkpad t450

I was in the market for buying laptops as of late and I’ve seen some videos you have posted. I love your reviews and your ability to cut through the fat and get to the point. Very effective videos. I am thinking of getting a Lenovo yoga c740 for browsing and Microsoft office use. Do you recommend given it’s only 8gb ram?

i'm using an X1 yoga at work with the 4k display - how does it compare to this? particularly in terms of glare!

I have a 3 yr old Yoga S710. It makes a lot of creaking, crackly sounds when opening it or even just holding it. Do the newer Yogas (or the higher end ones like the C940) do this or are they more solidly built?

I'm close to getting the c940 FHD version at Best Buy with 12gb of ram. The screen is quite reflective off angle but I dont plan on using it from the side and if anything it will help your neighbors in Starbucks to not see what's on your screen. Thank you for a really nice review and helping me decide. $1,000 is a lot to spend on a laptop but I'm hoping to get a good one this time.

Is the trackpad compatible with Windows Precision drivers? Great review as always

Just bought this. My favorite laptop out of the Razer Blade 15 from late 2018, and ASUS's UX550VE. While the UX550VE has slightly better speakers, these still outperform any other laptop I've heard. Screen is phenomenal. The only downsides are the dreadful metal sound the pen makes when being drawn, and the keyboard. Function+Alt+F4 to close an application as standard, and everything is shifted due to the number pad. My unit also heats up a bit, but I undervolted, and it seems to be happening less. Other than that? Perfect.

Hi! Would you recommend this for Lightroom and Photoshop?

I’m trying to decided between a C940 or the thinkpad x1 yoga, any advice on which one would be better? Some configurations can be pretty si Lila on the specs, 16gb ram, i7 , etc.

best channel :) keep it up !!

Excellent review.

FINALLY! Can’t wait to watch.

Is the I7 CPU Enough for 1080p60fps video editing confortably ? What about 4K ? Thank's a lot !

@MobileTechReview has any one heard of any ghosting issues with the Lenovo c940 4k display? I went to Best Buy and was about to buy one but the 4k c940 on display had major ghosting issues. Looked it up online and couldn't find any reports of that issue. Just wondering if that was maybe a one off or an issue of having the display model at full brightness on all the time.

Thank you for your reviews, always watch your reviews before making a purchase, it's my final point of decision every purchase. Which Laptop would you suggest is better for graphic designers, the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga or this Yoga C940? Your advice would be most appreciated.

Thumbs up on the privacy block on the webcam, definitely thinking about getting it

is it good for notetaking and technical pdf file reading as well?

Is this the only company with a built-in storage for the stylus? Can't seem to find info on this question.

Which one will you buy between Hp Spectre, Dell xps 13 and Lenovo C940 please and why ? Thanks

One talented tech reviewer, I always enjoy your reviews. Inspire more women into tech if you can.

What is the Windows scaling on the HD model? Is it 150%?

I have one of these and it is working well BUT I am not getting the tablet part at all. Beside one note what can I use it for? I can not use any of the apps I was using on my iPad. I really want to love this but at this point, it was an expensive laptop.

Hi Lisa, big fan of your videos especially the MSI GE75 you reviewed earlier in the year. I was wondering if you might have heard anything about an AMD variant of the GE75 on the horizon? I'm sure there will probably be an announcement at CES in January but I was wondering if you might know anything about price, performance etc for something similar to the Intel Core i7 9750H (2.60 GHz) and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070. Going by products released from AMD this year do you think laptops that run on AMD's new cpu's and gpu's might run a bit cooler than the Intel/Nvidia variants. I've read a fair few reviews for the current GE75 models and the biggest gripe buyers seemed to have with them was how hot they ran(90 degrees+). I'm a bit worried about thermal throttling if I buy a current model. Keep up the good work ;)

is the NVME M.2 using 2x or 4x lanes?

If i were to buy a 3rd party pen that's AES 2.0 (I'm currently considering the bamboo ink), will this laptop support tilt? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I got the i7 UHD 16GB RAM 1TB SSD version and although I like the device in general, the right hand side fan is killing me. It spins up frequently (except in battery mode) and when sucking in air the grill (little drilled holes) make a high pitches whining noise like a whistle. Other people on the forums seem to have this issue too. What is your experience. I am very close to returning the device, because fan noise is just unbearable. Unfortunatly there really is no other device that is similar, so I am kinda stuck now.

I have read on the forums that this model can't charge with any lenovo docks through the Thunderbold 3 port. Could you please test this out? Thank you.

good review. i just picked up the c940 fhd. thought about the 4k model, but i just didn't want to take an unnecessary hit on battery life. i'm liking it so far and the screen is bright enough for me (i was a bit concerned about that going in). in fact, i don't even have it on the brightest setting at the moment. my only gripes after using it for a few days are that i probably would have liked a slighter taller screen and i don't find the 100% tablet form (with it folded all the way back) to be very useful it's too cumbersome that way, but i feel that way with every 2 in 1. if i wanted a pure tablet i'd get an ipad pro. what i do like is tent mode when using the touchscreen and the sound bar is the real deal. the browsing experience is quick as well. long story short, it's a versatile machine and like anything versatile, you may not love everything about it, but so far the benefits outweigh the costs for me. i looked at the spectre (touchpad was too small) and xps (didn't love the keyboard and it was a bit small), so i ended up going with this. also, considered a macbook pro, but i just felt like i was getting more with the yoga c940. wouldn't surprise me if apple caves at some point and develops their own 2 in 1.

I legit only buy it if Lisa says its good. My surface pro 6 for drawing is currently dying on me due to a manufacturers issue, so I was wondering if this would be better than the surface pro 6?

is it better to save money w/ the c930 or get the newer c940? or get the 740 instead?

This vs the LG Gram 14 2 in 1?

Can you review the 15.6"version?

But have they eliminated the hinge failure problem of earlier models? Many post of failures just after warranty period. Granddaughter ‘s just failed after 14mo. and Lenovo unresponsive.

Would you say the audio is better than a macbook pro? (since its one of the best audios on a laptop out there)

for those of using c940 users, how comfortable would you say the key travel/key stroke is on the laptop? is it too stiff or just okay

"in the bedroom or anywhere else" stop coming for me!

For anyone who has bought this laptop, how was gaming? Did it run well enough at medium graphics for most games? And how was the heat when it ran those games?

You should make a review of the new Lenovo IdeaPad s740 I bought one on Black Friday it's amazing and a true competitor to the XPS 15 because it's a premium, not convertible, have decent amount of ports and can be upgrade easily

Thank u so much for your time and knowledge I really have a huge question and I was wondering if you could help me in choosing laptops?🙏only because you look like you know exactly what you're talking about compared to other reviews other people give u actually are very truthful

Finally!! Thank you

How does it compare to xps 13 2-in-1. I know everything is the same except the screen and built quality. I like xps 13 2in1 performance, screen, and built quality but I don't like the very small size that slip between my legs and the keyboard is too small. X1 carbon size and built is perfect but technology is very outdated and the performance lags. Yoga c940 has exactly same technology as xps but shall I accept the very glossy screen and the bad built quality? Give me your thoughts please

Lisa, do you think I should buy this or Macbook Air/Pro ?

I would like to see the TouchPad/trackpad behavior on the reviews. I'm a surface user and the TouchPad experience and gestures support is just great, and can be good to see if the athena's project laptop can match the surface ones. Thanks in advance, your reviews are the just amazing!

Another 👌 review.

Does it have tilt support ?

love your content.

Doesn't this laptops keyboard get warm 5mins after being switched on? Is mine faulty?
