SeekerLenovo Yoga C740
Lenovo’s Yoga C740 is a good machine. It has a comfortable keyboard, a usable touchpad, and decent audio. But before buying, look into its competitors and see what you’re missing out on when you choose a sub-$1000 laptop.

Lenovo has done it again with the Yoga C740, creating a quality convertible with long battery life and nice design at a reasonable price.
We’d like more ports and a slightly lower weight but this is made up for with a better screen and performance than you might expect at this kind of money.

Le Yoga C740 de Lenovo est un PC au design soigné, flexible et suffisamment robuste pour tenir toutes les postures désirées (tente, à plat, tablette, PC…).
Nous apprécions son clavier, la position et la taille de son trackpad ; assez de place est faite pour une frappe efficace, rapide et que le contrôle de la souris soit effectif.
Son écran mat a un affichage d’une très bonne lisibilité et les bandes autour ne le surchargent pas. Il est, d’ailleurs, très agréable à utiliser en tablette de par sa réactivité (avec ou sans le stylet fourni).
Là où le bât blesse, c’est qu’il est muni d’une carte graphique limitée, il donc ni approprié à une utilisation gaming ni trop créative. Dernier point, un PC hybride de 15 pouces nous semble bien trop large ; en format tablette le Yoga C740 perd une certaine souplesse d’emploi.
Contre près de 1 300 €, vous obtenez un convertible embarquant une puce 10ème génération, un bel écran et une batterie endurante. Cependant, pour la plupart, le prix n’en vaut pas la chandelle…

The Lenovo Yoga C740 is a great all-rounder for anyone looking for a powerful laptop to work, browse and stream movies on. The 2-in-1 aspect makes this laptop incredibly versatile and a great mid-range laptop for students to sketch and make notes with.

La propuesta Yoga C740 de Lenovo se basa en ofrecer un convertible con gran calidad en sus acabados y una batería de larga duración con la que poder abordar sobradamente las tareas cotidianas del día a día.
Como mejoras, le pediríamos a la marca un mayor número de puertos y un peso ligeramente inferior, pero esto se ve compensado con una mejor calidad de la pantalla y un rendimiento mejor de lo que cabría esperar en este rango de precios.
