If you like the idea of being able to use a laptop like the one we have on hand, in various ways, such as a laptop, tablet or as a launch party, the Yoga C740 is an example of what the imagined 2-in-1 groups have to offer.
A hybrid laptop with a large 14-inch screen that is designed for daily use and large viewing area and without additional grams, it manages to convert the mobility you need more than the laptop you would take everywhere.
Price
In the meantime, you can buy The Yoga C740 on the official Lenovo website at a suggested price of € 999 in the most basic configuration, since the product is currently marketing three different models that differ in CPU, RAM or disk drive.
A list of laptops aimed at the consumer market, after which the entire series is for sale associated with the 64 version of Windows 10 Home. Its screens are also 15.6-inch LEDs filled with glare with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
The top model has an Intel Core i7 10510U processor, in addition to the integrated Intel UHD graphics, which raises its price to € 1,199 according to a web offer found at promotions (HotPromo).
Design and build quality
The C740 design looks great. The C740's aluminum chassis gives you the look the premium with the analytical model shows a finish with the color of Mica (gold tone), available in metallic gray.
This Yoga is also equipped with a sturdy and robust hub that allows you to embrace a variety of exercises on the basis that it can rotate on its own up to 360 degrees.
Its wide screen is quite impressive, and although small edges can take great advantage if its thickness fits, they are not used properly. Already at the top we find the very clever TrueBlock web cage.
The rear keyboard keys are delicate, wide, deep and curved to fit your phalanges as much as possible. The writing is beautiful and quiet.
As far as the mechanical buttons are concerned, they are wide enough to please those users with big fingers. It has full size keys, such as key & # 39; Return & # 39;
Being a laptop with this screen, there is enough space to enter a useful numeric keypad if you are one of those who often works with spreadsheets by entering and changing data.
Writing about these types of keyboards brings out the most fun, low key navigation and sound system when you're one of the late night laptop users in a shared room.
But the touchscreen or the touchpad, is generous, in addition to presenting it alongside the keyboard and space bar to facilitate writing for users. Already on the right side, we get a fingerprint sensor to unlock the phone.
And the fact that the C740 weighs 1.88 kilograms, which doesn't turn out to be a much higher figure compared to the standard laptop's laptop with similar features.
As a small detail also adds, the Active Pen digital pen is fitted with a laptop, it has an adapter that will allow you to plug it into a USB port to prevent it from being lost or left forgotten elsewhere.
Screen and audio quality
The Yoga C740 model we reviewed has a 15.6-inch screen, in addition to a Full-HD panel with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
The smaller frames around their edges can be improved, but by their nature it should be known that they are used properly. The bezel of the upper part is used to attach the front webcam, the right position to achieve its purpose.
You will not accept undesirable observations from the Yoga C740 panel, because they are covered with a transparent filter that prevents you from receiving undesirable displays in certain situations, such as working in an office.
In fact, its IPS panel offers wide viewing angles thanks to the Dolby Vision flap, a standard HDR standard that offers vivid colors and deep dark levels when it turns out you see compatible content.
It is less important that the screen supports touch input, both with the finger, and with the Active Pen stylus provided by the machine, and can be used to navigate, draw or write and write text.
Another exciting area is the sound quality they can provide. The Yoga C740 speakers are compatible with the Dolby Atmos, ideal for ensuring some sound power without distorting when using the highest noise levels.
If you ask them where they are available, it should be said that they are only visible when the C740 is folded, because Lenovo goes for a more intelligent location instead of placing it on the sides of its keyboard, something that would reduce the size of the keys.
Specification and performance
The refurbishment of the Yoga C740 that we got the chance to test, is much more in the range, with the fourth-generation Intel Core i7-10510U processor and clock speed at 1.8 GHz.
The amount of RAM associated with it is 8 GB, expanding up to 16, while the storage space is a 512 GB M2 SSD to speed up the processes when Windows 10 Home starts.
We put the Yoga C740 to the test benches of tools such as the PC Mark 10, which we are allowed to ensure that its full functionality provides an index of 4429. The tenth generation of the chip is appreciated, surpassing other machines such as the HP Envy 13 or Acer's Swift 5.
In terms of integrated graphics, it is able to save furniture at a cost of 4526 on the 3DMark test, a slightly lower result than the 5461 offered by the Acer Swift 5 with a very similar Intel UHD Graphics chip.
It is not possible to obtain it with a dedicated graphics card, so you may intend to use the equipment for video editing, rendering or advanced image treatment facilities. Play and sponsorship of the game will also be the foundation.
In the following graphs, you can see in a very visual way the price range of performance offered by the Yoga C740 against its immediate competitors, including the Geekbench test single-core and most importantly.
Communication with ports
In terms of connectivity ports, something that says a lot about laptops now that often limit their connection, it should be said that the Yoga C740 offers USB-C 3.1 Gen1 connectors, as well as two other USB-A ports to connect. pendrives.
The mini-jack connector shares the dual functionality of microphone mounting and headphone jacking, to treat you with software according to your needs. And so far, it's all about the connectors, and the power button found on the side.
Communication is provided in the form of Wifi 6 (11ac), and Bluetooth 5.0 has been upgraded to be able to communicate and communicate with devices such as wireless phones.
Independence and billing
As we have seen, the Yoga C740 does not shine especially in the graphics section, but in retrospect, the fact that using an integrated graphics chip allows you to increase the power consumption to provide more operating hours.
This is evidenced by our regular video play test that the 2-in-1 team managed to pass over 12 hours and 26 minutes of play before completely exhausted. It is a good result, as it is possible to inform and graph for benches.
Not much to add, besides the fact that if you only charge for 30 minutes you can achieve a 28% laptop capacity. Or the fact that you can charge your phone with a compatible C port, even when the phone is closed.
The decision
As we have seen, the Yoga C740 is a very well-converted 2-in-1 laptop that provides the perfect balance between price and performance, without neglecting the essentials like composing. It is flexible and resistant enough to use in any of its interactions.
Thanks for your keyboard layout, button position and size track track; Response speed is faster and allows for improved visual control of Windows and installed applications. Active mouse control.
Its matte finish screen almost eliminates unwanted thinking when working with artificial light, in addition to the frames and bezels that are excessive.
Used as a tablet, we will only ask the group for the minimum weight, because once you have exceeded 1.5 kilograms of weight, it is difficult for you to maintain the handheld equipment.
Alternatively, we have a laptop for around € 1,000. Its functionality in a wide variety of areas is sufficient, where we could only request additional intelligence in the drawings, something you would have to choose for another high-grade Yoga range, such as the Yoga C900 Series.
