The Lenovo Yoga C940 is a compact, lightweight and powerful Windows convertible that doubles down on refinement rather than reinvention. Lenovo built it on the principle that if something is not broken, there is no need to fix it, so the C940 polishes the proven formula of its predecessor, the Yoga C930, instead of chasing an all-new design. The result is a premium 14-inch 2-in-1 aimed at buyers who want versatility without compromise.
Lenovo Yoga C940 design and build
At 1.35kg, the laptop is easy to carry, and its edgy aluminium chassis looks premium while adding to overall build quality. Sharp corners and slimmer bezels frame a 14-inch 1080p display that is bright and renders sharp, vibrant colours.
Most of the design carries over from the C930, with one standout change: the 360-degree hinge. Lenovo has reworked the previous two-piece hinge into one large slab, making it look sleeker and more durable. That hinge is the real creative touch here, and it still does double duty as the speaker.
Audio that follows you
The hinge-mounted speaker is positioned so it always faces the user no matter which mode the laptop is in. Backed by onboard Dolby Atmos technology, it sounds clear and gets loud enough for everyday use.
Keyboard and trackpad
The keyboard and trackpad both work well. Keys feel responsive and give good feedback when pressed. The trackpad uses Windows Precision Drivers, so gestures are smooth.
Lenovo Yoga C940 performance and battery
Inside is a 10th generation Intel Core i7-1065G7 processor paired with 16GB of DDR4X RAM, and it ships with Windows 10 pre-installed. The performance of Intel's latest-generation chip is easy to feel in daily work. We ran several applications, including Photoshop and word processing tools, and most ran without any issue or slowdown. A dedicated GPU would have been a welcome addition.
Battery life is good. The laptop lasted 8-9 hours with normal to medium usage and brightness set at around 70%.
Who it is for
- Buyers wanting a versatile, lightweight and powerful Windows laptop in a premium price range.
- Users who value a sleek convertible design with a sturdier one-piece hinge.
- Anyone who wants clear, loud audio thanks to the user-facing Dolby Atmos speaker.
