YogaBook C930 Overview 

Best review of the e-ink functions, the most mentioned but least demonstrated in detail functions of the YB. Thanks. Please make more videos on the YB C930 if you find more e-ink functions.

Thanks for the great review. You took the yoga book to a whole other level missed by others.

Great video. I was looking for the graphic art how-to you mentioned to come later.

Yep two years later found this and was really grateful... This is my third Lenovo device.. at least recently. Trying to figure out how to use the e-ink screens on both of this and the newer thinkbook Plus Gen 2.. Lenovo is one of two companies I care enough about to get really PO'd when they screw things up. At least it's one of two companies that make interesting toys.

This is the world best review for c930 e-ink capabilities. I really appreciated on your review.

Hi, thanks for amazing video. I heard that this machine now supports clone mode, is there any chance for you to review this feature? Many thanks!

I really appreciated and enjoyed listening your thorough description of YB's capabilities. You explored those functionalities where other reviewers did not at all mention. As a college student I have a question about YB note taking while in the classroom. How easy is it to write and save several note files while a lecture is going on?

Your voice is ASMR-ready

Shared your review on another review page! 😁 I told people to check your video out.

Hi! I saw that you're part of the Lenovo community (I saw your name and review there after seeing this video 😄). While searching there I saw that now you can edit pdfs on the device as well as read kindle books. I sadly couldn't find the thread where they first mention that update. In any event, can you please confirm if this is true and to what extent? It seemed like maybe you couldn't actually write on the pdf but that there are new buttons that allow you to underline and add a text box? I'm not sure which I'd my reason for asking. Also there seems to be new features with the December 2019 update. I'm sorry if I'm asking for a lot. If there's a link you can direct me to for answers that would be great. This was a great video. I actually want to use the device for my Japanese studies and being able to write on my pdf textbooks would be awesome. Plus my son could do his homework on the e-ink pdf display which would save his eyes while he's doing online learning. Btw the art drawing feature is a huge perk for me as an artist as well so seeing how to configure it is going to be really helpful if I purchase this device. Do you still use it? Thank you so much for your time and reviews, they're great!

Just an FYI, I find that the fingerprint sensor works better if your finger is slight oily. Try using oil from your face on your finger or some very small amount of lotion on the finger - not too much. It only needs just a small amount to "see" your fingerprint for consistency. Also, check Lenovo's forums for updates - Lenovo has added some additional features since this video has been put out.

When I bought mine i wasn't expecting that much from it since I have the first yogabook that came out. But the second one changed my mind about it, This one has better features to it.

The best overview of the YogaBook C930 I have seen; great work! I read that the ability to select/copy and highlight pdfs in the e-ink screen would be added in Dec. 2019. Do you know if this update has been pushed out?

Considering this laptop for its eink capabilities 4 years later. Love your video! Can it run Windows in only the Eink screen without the LCD active?

I love this, Lenovo did a great job. I just wish I could actually afford one.

Ho do you find typing in the dark without having backlit on the e-ink? I do have the 1st gen YB and often use it in my bed at night without lights on not to disturb my other half and the backlit keyboard comes handy. dont like the on screen keyboard as it does not come on and disappear automatically like on smartphones. BTW there is now an 8GB memory and 512 GB storage option for this which makes me want one. will contact lenovo UK to find out how much would be with max`d out options :S

Did you ever do the video with different graphics programs?

A really helpful review that led me to buy the YB c930. I liked the option of using paper with the original, though. Do you know if the original YB pen works on the 2nd generation? I like having paper for keeping track of short-term notes, like meetings; and a digitized note for archival.

big guy + tiny gagdet. hope it will be a good investment, mine arrives today

Ok Arthur I bought first gen and use e ink screen apart from regular screen. Bye also you can set up guest mode for other users and limit their access to your apps and data

any palm rejection on the main screen for the active pen ?

Arthur this was very helpful. I wonder is there an option to use the e-ink side without the other display draining the battery? Either dimming to minimum or turning off? I have purchased the older model of the Yoga Book (non e-reader) and can use it in conjunction with an older Good-e-reader 8x11 e-reader, and am considering this as well.

can you make notes directly on the pdf in the e-ink display?

Can you write on the secondary screen and have your inking transfer live to the primary display like the original yoga book?

Really curious about the Lenovo C930 Yogabook! Thanks for the video! I wonder how the latest updates from Lenovo have enhanced (?) the e-ink screen performance and options? Also it looks like maybe Lenovo stopped making the Yogabook?

If it possible to inveet black and white in the e ink display? Ie white text on black paper? I cant see black on white due to eye problems but this looks like a fantastic device for me if able to invert. Thanks!

thnk you for your review. Finally. One question: on the first gen YB you can use the pen on the "keyboard" mostly like a mouse. Is still possible on this version? Second Question: When I "sync" with OneNote,what I get in One Note? just images or notes takes as I wrote on the One Note app? Thank you.

To people that got interested in actually buying it now, that didn't get the chance to do so before. Do You have any idea how to get one ?¿, I've spent so long trying to find one thats the "C930" version, with very little luck. The first gen seemed to be more popular, as finding one used is possible, while spotting the sec.gen is almost impossible. Even looking on sites like ebay its extremely scarce with only few "brand new" auctions.

Can you use the Wacom pen/barrel buttons to select and copy text from a document in the e-reader that you could normally select and copy text from in the LCD display? I mean, like e.g. is it painless to copy text rom a regular text file or an epub that supports text selection? For my use case I need to be able to copy and paste text from the e reader to my main screen. Ideally I'd set the barrel button to a special keyboard shortcut that works with a program in the main screen to register copied text. I can do that on my laptop easily, so the only question is about copying text and whether the pen functions universally across both screens seamlessly. Thanks for the up to date review!

Sorry to disturb, Alex, I can buy a French C930 with visible AZERTY keyboard visuals, could I change the Halo form QWERTY to AZERTY visually?. Please check, kind regards, alex;;; I suppose the Layout is imprinted in the underneath the glass section, not changeable, ah well, already tangled up into 6 languages all the time as dutch in tuscany, why not learn french keyboard as well with mother born in Dordogne, but Italian and French hate eachother in my skull ... we northern folks have that with latin blabbermouthing ...

Hi so I got the first gen with the intention of practicing little by little digital art. You know getting into the craft, it has work out alright. Do you think this one is a suitable update for that? Thx in advance

What is the battery life under normal use?

Thanks for the YBC930 content- I am typing this on an E-ink keyboard having bought the device a few weeks ago and want to ask about you're experience with Lenovo as a company? I have noticed a few issues and want to give feedback, for instance the @ and " symbols have the wrong sign on the keyboard (there swapped) and I have had some issues with the writing/drawing mode where it becomes inaccessible, do they have good feedback channels? Also, do you think they will improve the functionality of the e-ink screen will improve much over time?

Wow, just bought one second hand for € 220. Me Dutch since a long time in Tuscany, started computing sing 1983, this is really a dream, but it needs a pro handling like yours for the lazy bastards like me, pensioner. Ta. I will follow for the first time. I don't do social, but I am curious and want to learn. Keep up the good stuff!!!! alex
