- Lisa Gade reviews the late 2019 Lenovo Yoga C940 14”, a convertible Ultrabook with Intel 10th gen Ice Lake 10nm CPUs, Intel Iris Plus graphics and a rotating soundbar. The laptop is available with full HD and 4K UHD displays, and we have both in this review. Both versions support pen and touch and they come with a rechargeable pen that lives in a silo. The Yoga has Thunderbolt 3, a backlit keyboard and Microsoft Precision trackpad. The C940 competes with the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 and the HP Spectre x360 13”.

what I love about her the most is she starts right away and doesn't fuck around like other reviewers
Straight to the point, cuts the bullshit.
She has definitely earned my trust and I always check out her reviews before any others.
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.
Good choice.
@@karlp8484 The perfect laptop with FHD panel, 4k is pointless as you get less battery and need to scale up windows to 200% meaning you never really use those pixel
@@matjaro I'm perfectly happy with IPS. I doubt I would see hardly any difference with OLED on a 14" screen.
Battery life is horrible
sam samo 10/10 with such a terrible trackpad okay lol
It's always good to watch reviews on laptops i can't afford.
ahahahahah
not gonna lie, I always look forward watching your reviews as well as what is printed on your shirt 😂
Mee too 😂
I almost ALWAYS wait for Lisa's review. ☺️👍🏾 Straight up no chaser. She dives right into the goods.
I really love her way of presentation and her T shirts. Thats what makes her different from others.
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"?
Press Fn+Space and it won't go off while you're using the trackpad.
@@DarnMechanic I know. My complaint is that it goes off when you stop using the trackpad / keybrd.
Sounds like it works the same as with the Spectre X360. if you just hit control in the bottom left, or the shift, which are easy to find, then the keyboard will light up again right?
@@vanderslagmulders when the backlight turns off due to keyboard / trackpad inactivity, then pressing any or the trackpad will cause the backlight to turn back on.
jpears1100 Is there a way to turn it off? Like in the settings?
This laptop is absolutely perfect for university, got one with the 1080p display and its very capable
Easily the best laptop tech reviews on UA-cam. No fluff. Not just specs, some good analysis too. I always learn a lot. Thank you!
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!
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!
Lisa is the best, bar none!
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
X1 4th gen? Is it the latest one? I'm kinda confused in all the gens they have now
@@nikolaybonapartov7379 lol. Don't blame you! Yeah, it's the latest one.
Did you order your Thinkpad X1 from Lenovo.com? How long did you wait for your order to get shipped?
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.
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!
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.
As a coffee house hopper I second your opinion lol.
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!!
Yay I've been waiting for an actual good review of this
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.
Smack down with the new spectre!
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 was searching for your video this morning wondering if you did the new 940 , AND HERE IT IS!!!! Love your reviews for artist 👩🎨
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 😀
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.
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
I've bought the 14" model yesterday. 16gb RAM and 2TB SSD. Loving it
Nice! How is fan noise?
Did you place your order on Lenovo.com? How long did you have to wait for it?
Evgueni Saaranen yes, I did, directly from Lenovo website. It spent 1 week, sending to USA
@@fernandoairesteixeir Did you order a custom built? Or were you happy with one of their pre-set models?
Evgueni Saaranen I took a custom built. Better. You put what you gonna use, what you like
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.
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!
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''
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.
Finaly geez been waiting for a long time
"in the bedroom or anywhere else"
stop coming for me!
I got mine 2 weeks ago with 12gb ram 512gb ssd and the screen is FHD.
It charges pretty fast, battery life is around 10 to 11 hours.
Very happy with my purchase.
Iqbal Saeed Stop lying you don't have this laptop. I see you on all these yoga c940 videos claiming you own this laptop but we both know damn well you don't. Give it up already.
How do you know he doesn't ? O.o
snots22 Jmiami can’t afford it that’s why
Great vid!!! Would love to see a review of a C740!
I have ordered c740 15 inch with Dolby vision but they shipped without Dolby vision. Please let me know how can I check if I have dolby vision display
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.
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.
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!✨💯
Can we have smackdown of the top three, please! You also forgot to mention which one does not show your finger marks.
I bought the 4K version. The laptop is perfect in every way except a bit of high pitched fan noise and the battery lasting no more than 2.5 hours.
It should last way more than 2.5 hours, unless you're doing something really demanding with brightness set to max.
@@mobiletechreview I hope so I was gonna pull the trigger on this or yeh 15in XPS. Which do you recommend at 4k? Don't really do any intensive editing.
@@ancientflames Very different machines in terms of size, weight and performance. If you need lots of performance, definitely the XPS 15, otherwise an Ultrabook like this Yoga.
@@ancientflames Why don't you consider the 15" of this instead of the XPS?
@@mobiletechreview Would you go for the Yoga 940 or the X1 Yoga? Mostly for Video and good battery for work, highly considering 4K screen as I am usually near a power outlet (Having 8-9 hours run time in case I need it is also good). Love your videos, always very detailed! Would also love if you have other suggestions, what is the best Ultrabook you would go for on the 2K usd range?
I bought the C940 Yoga, top of the line model, the image quality is fantastic but I also wanted the Yoga for drawing, Well, there is a big issue with the reverse fold format and thats zero access to any keys so I found for instance I was wanting to press CTRL Z to undo but I couldn't because I had no access to the keyboard, in addition to this you MUST wear one of the drawing gloves becasue palm rejection is non existent pretty much, to cap this off, the pen itself though comfortable enough its way to small to actually draw anything accurately, at least for me. As a normal laptop and one that you can use touch screen nicely its quite nice and you could also sign forms and the like but as a drawing or editing tablet, unless you can connect a seperate keyboard and mouse, ive not tried then using the laptop as a drawing or photo editing tablet is not my recommendation.
Very thorough review, to the point, answered all my questions.
Compare this to the X1 yoga
PLEASE
I'm getting this in a few days. I'm so excited.
How is it? Do you have any problems with it? Like the fan noise...
And how is the battery lifespan?
@@monahawari5663 it's great. Not the best for video editing but it gets the job done. The fan kicked in occasionally. It always kicks in during editting. That was a little annoying. Fixed easily by undervolting though. I get between 5 and 6 hours with light usage.
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.
Amazing review!! Could you consider doing one for the yoga c740 as well?
One talented tech reviewer, I always enjoy your reviews. Inspire more women into tech if you can.
Nice review, 👍 keep up the good work, you've done have a great job reviewing
I've own this for almost a month and as much as I love it I might have to return it and pick up an XPS 15. This is a great laptop for light usage. Watching videos, social media, school work, photo editing, etc. Not so great for gaming and video editing. I don't game much, but I really need an ultra book that edits well.
Does the XPS 15 handle handle gaming well?
How is the palm rejection?
@@giulianuengniyom6344 you've just been.....REJECTED.
Could this computer work with programs such as autocad, solid works or similar engineering programs
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 love your work! Thank you and keep it up!
But doesn't HP make the Spectre with an OLED?
Yes, it's 13.3" and I reviewed the OLED version a few weeks ago.
Another fantastic review, Lisa!
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.
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.
enherjerbloodline what did you find out or go for ?
Im glad i watched your review appreciate you thanks
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?
Is there a story behind the flower photos on the wall, always wondered.
I like taking photos of flowers... bokeh... and sometimes macro shots... pretty much that's all :)
@@mobiletechreview Hey Lisa do you have any idea when the 15" is coming out:?
@@triton62674 The new 15" is already out. It's listed at Best Buy.
I love this woman. Can’t understand a word she says, but I don’t care. Reducing the speed to .75 helped. As for that egregious thermal throbbing that she refers to at 7.04 - that is what she said, right? No?
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.
Extremely informative. Thank you so much!!!
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?
Been looking for a new device for on the road photo editing. Went to the store to check out the ipad pro +pencil and I saw this. It's cheaper and offers more utility. Kinda hard to justify the ipad now.
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?
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!
Is the trackpad compatible with Windows Precision drivers? Great review as always
Thumbs up on the privacy block on the webcam, definitely thinking about getting it
was considering between this and spectre. went with the spectre instead as i couldnt wait for this review. No regrets thou
They are both excellent models. You don't find the HP gets warm? It seemed very warm to me just playing youtube videos on it at the store.
@@Belgarath777 it does gets warm near the heatsink area when im loading the CPU. around 66 max but quickly cools back to 45+- once the load is off. so its not really a problem for me.
Been waiting for this review!! :-)
Nice video - as always. Thank you very much for your time!
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 :/
bought it in an emergency recently and i quite like it, glossiness resolved with a matte screen cover that id buy anyway to protect any screen
love your reviews
Thanks for the great review Lisa! Yours have been my go-to laptop reviews for 6 years! =)
I'm curious, did your test models have any touchpad sensitivity issues? When doing either of the following motions on my C940 (i7, 16GB, FHD) it had issues registering the movement:
1) slowly moving a finger 1-3 millimeters back and forth from an original resting point
2) slowly moving a finger across the touchpad; the first 1-3 millimeters would go unregistered causing "lag" with the cursor
In general use, these caused frequently inaccurate/jagged cursor movements which were especially noticeable when trying to do any precise touchpad tasks. There's a subset of C940 users that have been having these problems and we're trying to get a sense of how widespread the issue is while troubleshooting a fix. Any feedback on your experience with the touchpad would be greatly appreciated!
(Anyone else experiencing this can find a dedicated thread on Reddit; search "C940 Trackpad Sensitivity Issue" on Reddit to find it)
I haven't had any issues whatsoever with the trackpad tbh
@@jackb3985 Nor have I.
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 ;)
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
Being looking forward to ur review on this. Can u do a comparison of this and the other 2in1s too
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. 🙂
This vs the LG Gram 14 2 in 1?
Does the C940 show any screen door effect like the HP X360 OLED? I was going to buy the HP - but after seeing the display in Best Buy - I couldn't get past that screen door effect. I would get the Dell XPS 2 in 1 - but I want a 1TB drive.
P.S. You have the best reviews!!
How freaking close to the screen do you sit if you can notice screen door effect on a 13" 4K display? Are you constantly pixel peeping? I have a hard time noticing screen door effect on my Oculus Rift.
@@Wistbacka as a video editor/graphic designer - I'm guessing my eyes are just more sensitive. I can also see a single frame (1/60) of video when editing. That's why I always go to see the floor displays first. I was also wondering if the x360 has different degrees of screen door effect or if all builds are them same.
@@jaym3539 fair enough. I'm quite the pixel peeper myself (used to to photography), but I just have a hard time believing noticing screen door effect at that resolution.
That said, I'd guess the IPS LCD panels have the same sub pixel arrangement as usual IPS panels, so screen door effect should not be as prominent. I mean, this is why VR moved to IPS from OLED.
@@Wistbacka it looked to me like the issue was the pen digitizer layer...not a problem with the oled layout. But that's just a guess.
The C940 I got from best buy had a very noticeable vertical line pattern from the digitizer (much worse than the demo Spectre's screen door effect). I couldn't unsee it and had to return the Yoga for that, which was a shame as I liked it otherwise.
will you be able to do the Yoga C740, Yoga C640 and after that a 3 way smackdown?
I agree :=)
Yes please
Pleaaaseee!
FINALLY! Can’t wait to watch.
BOUGHT THIS BLACK FRIDAY AND IT IS AMAZING.
easily recommend this over dell xps 13 2 in 1 and hp spectre 360
Did you get the 4K or FHD model?
@@noname5905 FHD, the battery life is great on the FHD model. I did consider the 4k version for better color accuracy because I do photo editing but this one had a much better deal so I got FHD. Don't regret is because the screen is still amazing
Hey speakers demo will be more then appreciated.
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!
Great video. Поздрав од Скопје, Македонија!
Excellent review.
Just a thing to have in mind: they don't send the Wacom pen included anymore. Instead they send "Lenovo active pen". At least that's what they say in the Lenovo website for Germany and US.
Best reviews, ty!
Bought the Yoga C940 14" 1080p Model and when connected to any usb-c dock it made the fans once per Minute go really loud. Even on "intelligent" or low power setting. Had to return it after a week of unsuccessfully trying to fix it.
is it good for notetaking and technical pdf file reading as well?
Lenovo is really such a consumer-first company. They actually include things like thunderbolt, USB A, pen support and interesting innovations like the sound bar
Basically, unlike the likes of Dell and Microsoft, they actually offer more for the same price
Great review Lisa.. I recently bought the yoga c930 with 8th generation intel processor on black Friday.
It was on sale.. Do you think I should have just got the yoga c940 instead since it has the 10th generation intel processor?? Is there a big difference between the 8th and 10th Intel processors??? Please help
Sir Ivn Hi, I bought the c940 on Black Friday. As far as I understand it, based on benchmarks, the 10th generation chip is slightly faster. However, such an advantage probably isn’t even noticeable in everyday use. The biggest plus the 10th generation chip has are actually the integrated Iris Plus graphics. So, if you don’t plan on doing much graphics intensive work, such as photo editing or light gaming, then you’ve definitely made a solid choice with the c930. Enjoy your machine!
I bought the c930 2 months ago with the top specs, i7, 16g, 1 tb and 4k screen for $1050. I know I got a steal. I can tell you that for most everyday tasks I can't imagine needing the c940's upgraded specs unless you do online content creation, graphics work, video/photo editing and other system taxing things. Even then I would think the c930 would handle most of those needs pretty well but I don't push the limits that way so you might have a different experience.
Yeah, I agree with other two. There really isn't much of a significant jump in performance at all between 8th gen to 10th. You should be more than fine! (Source: I'm a computer repair technician)
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
Congratulations on finding the x!
I noticed that Lisa tends to go hard on the Glossy screens of Lenovo but with all honesty, it's not that bad at all. The glossy screen is no different than the latest HP models if not slightly better. I also find the Glossy screen on the Lenovo C940 much better than the one you get on the Huwaei MateBook. I'm not saying Lisa is wrong but from experience, the impression she gives on the Lenovo screen might be a bit misleading. On the other hand, the glossy screen on the Lenovo C740 is very glossy and inferior.
I wonder if it will be durable for travelling and business too ? I consider it instead of my thinkpad t450
Got one with i7 16GB 1TB FHD on black Friday sale and the fan kicks in very loud swoosh with any game and CPU load and top row keyboard gets burning hot. otherwise very cool no fan needed at all and I get 2-3 days of normal work out of it, more like 18 hours for each charge. 4k definitely shows texts better but I could manage without it to get extra juice. The screen is super glossy and painful in a bright room and brightness on the other hand can't get dim enough at night! Solved it with an app. speakers are giving full and rich feeling but they fail speaker quality test for noise and frequency range. Realized it when I was listening to some music. Some low frequency tones not even coming out of speakers. Charging 5-100% takes 3 hours or so, slow in my opinion. touchpad is definitely worse than Surface pros. lower edge is so sharp and hurt your palm when using touchpad unlike surface pro or alcantara Surface laptops. I will return it or pass it to family. Oh! and ram utilization is crazy! at least 1 GB more than surface pro with all that hidden lonovo bloatware. Surface pro is really a better machine.
1535 in Cinebench 20 ?? 6:26
even a passive fanless tablet like Surface Book 2.. here Im getting 1700 in Cine20 and 742 in Cine15.
quite impressed with MS cooling when a 7½mm tablet with no fan can deliver those values.
@mikes gt You really need to be burped off when it is written above.??
fanless, 7½mm.. usually you need fans to handle such scores and particularly in older SoC's from 2017 and managing 1700Cine20 and 750Cine15 usually aquire some potent heatsinks that don't align well with thin and light like 7½mm and not least passive fanless SoC.
But it is written above, so not sure why I need to take you up on my shoulder to burp common sense of for you.?? but what'ever... get down., thx..
@mikes gtGet back on topic... and if you have hair issues.. really ain't the place or something I can sort..maybe you got some parents you can lean on or even guide you..
cheers..
Is the I7 CPU Enough for 1080p60fps video editing confortably ? What about 4K ? Thank's a lot !
Hi! Would you recommend this for Lightroom and Photoshop?
Man I wanted this thing so bad over blackfriday, wound up with the xps 13 2n1 instead. Great laptop but I still want this thing. The xps is sooo small but I got a killer deal on it.. like a $750 difference from this..
