Reviews for the Lenovo Yoga C940-15IRH
After making several Yoga C900 subnotebooks for years, Lenovo is ready to expand the lineup to include larger 15.6-inch sizes. The Yoga C940-15 sacrifices little in terms of performance and chassis quality especially for a convertible.

Archive.org versionOverall, I quite liked the Lenovo Yoga C940. Aside from the size -- which for my taste, was just a bit too large -- the Yoga offers a unique 2-in-1 system that gives you all the benefits of a traditional clamshell laptop. I prefer Lenovo’s approach to Microsoft’s here, mostly because it trades off tablet usability for improved laptop performance.

Archive.org versionWhile the Lenovo Yoga C740 laptops are geared more towards the average consumer, the Yoga C940 series will meet the demands of creatives and business professionals. With 4K UHD options as well as a relatively thin and lightweight design, the Lenovo Yoga 940 is a slick-looking laptop with decent performance.

Archive.org versionAs with so many other laptops, the Yoga C940 15’s worthiness is a matter of which trade-offs you’re willing to make. HP’s 15-inch Spectre x360 has a similar convertible design, but the version with GTX 1650 graphics has a much dimmer display. Dell’s XPS 15 7590 packs in 4K graphics and even better battery life, but its touchscreen variants get pricey and it’s not a convertible design. Gaming-first laptops like the Acer Nitro 7 will give you even better performance, but they’re not as nice to look at.

Archive.org versionLenovo's C940-15 is a premium 2-in-1 with an onboard Nvidia GTX 1650 GPU. We found the build quality to be top notch and the GPU adds a bump in performance over the 14" version.

Archive.org versionIf you pick up the Lenovo Yoga C940, you'll be graced with badass performance and graphics, a powerful speaker-hinge, a bright display and useful security features. However, the Yoga C940 suffers from poor viewing angles and a lack of ports. And while the battery life is slightly above average, it could have been a lot better.

Archive.org versionIn the end, Lenovo pushed out a refresh of the Lenovo 930 with a slightly larger 15.6-inch screen, heavier build design and famed rotating soundbar hinge. The specs are up to date and will remain relevant for the foreseeable future. However, the convertible 2-in-1 design seems wasted on the C940, due in part to increase in size and weight. When spec’d out to the max, the C940 is probably best served as a portable desktop option that occasionally makes it off the desk and into a living room, board room or conference room.

Archive.org versionThe 15.6-inch Lenovo Yoga C940 is the middle ground between ultraportable two-in-ones and the larger screens and faster performance of desktop replacement laptops. Its slim body makes it more portable than older 15.6-inch notebooks and, while it's around 4.4 pounds (2 kg), it's still lighter on your lap and in your bag, too. With the bigger display, though, you've got more room to work than with a small two-in-one like the 13.3-inch HP's Spectre x360, but without losing the flexibility of the design. And the C940's six-core processor and discrete graphics lets you do things you simply can't with a smaller two-in-one.

Archive.org versionThe Lenovo Yoga C940 15 is sort of the ultimate PC. It's great for streaming media, with a solid display and amazing speakers. It has the power to do what you need to do, from productivity, to editing video, to gaming. And it's a convertible, meaning that you can use it in a wide range of form factors, such as as a tablet, where you can use the pen to draw, take handwritten notes, mark up photos, and more.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
