The Lenovo ThinkPad P40 Yoga is a solid laptop that sits right at the price it should for its power and feature set. It offers better performance than general business laptops, convertible or otherwise, but can't compete with more expensive mobile workstations. Yoga functionality doesn't add too much to a mobile workstation, which is probably is served well just by keeping the size and weight down as Lenovo has done here, but it doesn't hurt if you think you'd make use of it as a tablet.

The Lenovo ThinkPad P40 Yoga is a unique laptop, and thus it's hard to pit it against the competition--there really isn't a direct competitor. The closest would be the Microsoft Surface Book (detachable rather than yoga-style) and Lenovo's own near mirror image ThinkPad 14 with NVIDIA GeForce 940M graphics as sold by Best Buy.

At the end of the day the Lenovo ThinkPad P40 Yoga is a very unique hybrid PC for a very specific type of user. If you’re someone who needs the dedicated graphics performance of a mobile workstation but also needs the flexibility of a 2-in-1 that you can convert into a tablet then this is absolutely the best choice on the market.

Comment

Model: The Lenovo ThinkPad P40 Yoga 20GQ-000EUS is a mobile high performance workstation laptop for business usage. It features an Intel Core i7-6600U 2.6 GHz processor, an Intel Skylake-U Premium PCH motherboard, an Nvidia Quadro M500M graphic adapter with 2 GB VRAM, 16 GB of 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM and a Samsung 512 GB Solid State Drive PM871 MZ7LN512HCHP. Its glossy 14.1” touchscreen features a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, native pen support and uses the IPS technology.

The Windows 10 Professional 64-bit system measures at 19.9 x 338 x 236 mm (0.78” x 13.31” x 9.29”) and weighs at 1.753 kg (3.86 pounds). As for connectivity, it has Intel Ethernet Connection I219-LM and Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 built in for LAN, WiFi and Bluetooth connection. For input/output connections, it features three USB 3.1 ports, a HDMI port, a DisplayPort, a Kensington Lock, a docking station port, a 3.5 mm audio jack and a 4-in-1 card reader (MMC, SD, SDXC, SDHC).

NVIDIA Quadro M500M: Workstation graphics card based on the 28 nm GM108 Maxwell chip with 384 shaders and a 64-bit memory interface. Compared to the faster M600M, the M500M features only DDR3 graphics memory with a 64-bit bus and is therefore similar to the old Quadro K620M (also Maxwell GM108).

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

6600U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

14.10":

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact. 

In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers. 

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.

71.95%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
