Q: Does it come with the stylus pictured?

A: No, it does not come with a stylus.

Q: bought recently and have noticed it runs very hot on the bottom. also just crashed on me, perhaps due to the extreme heat. it came right back on when powered up and seems to be working fine, but I lost my work. is this a known issue or is mine defective?

A: Wanted to answer for others that may have this question. Lenovo's answer is not accurate. After following all of Lenovo's instructions and suggestions, I was told I likely had a defective model and I went ahead and exchanged it for a new unit. However, just as the old one, the new unit got and stayed extremely hot at the bottom left immediately out of the box upon installing Windows updates. And when I say hot, I mean that at its worst, you CANNOT have it on your lap. Even when not at it's worst, the heat is quite uncomfortable and I find myself constantly trying to find ways to keep the bottom left off my legs. It has been about 30 minutes since installation and it is still very hot. The vent was not covered at any time. I wasted my time (and Lenovo and Best Buy money) exchanging units as the extreme heat is obviously an innate part of how this laptop runs. I searched the word "hot" in the reviews just now and found others noting the same issue. It's a shame because I'm quite picky and, even with some lagging/glitchiness occasionally and no HDMI port, I otherwise really like this laptop, particularly for the price when on sale. I will have to consider whether it is worth keeping knowing it will run so hot and require a lap desk if needed for lap use. I expect the heat will also decrease battery life over time (according to Lenovo's own information on factors that impact battery life). Buyer beware.

Q: Is the display brightness 250 or 500 nits on this model?

A: The Lenovo Yoga C740-15, model number 81TD0005US , ships with a IPS LCD w/LED Backlight HDR screen, with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (FHD) and a brightness level of 500 nits.

Q: Just bought two weeks ago and webcam isn't working. Anyone else having this issue?

A: The Lenovo Yoga C740-15 model number 81TD0005US, ships with a built in Privacy Shutter over the web cam. You can manually open the Privacy Shutter by sliding the shutter off the web cam lens. Here is a Product Tour video that displays the Privacy Shutter and how to open it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7gquhzeAhQ

Q: How do I hookup an external monitor that has a HDMI cable to this laptop?

A: You will need a USB-c to HDMI adapter like this one, there are many varieties available, this is just one example: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-6-usb-c-to-4k-hdmi-cable-black/6354090.p?skuId=6354090

Q: This model 81TD005US appears to be unique to Best Buy and not in any of the Lenovo reference or accessories tools. I am interested in using one of the Lenovo USB docks for VGA video, additional USB ports and hopefully charging. Which docks can do this?

A: You can use any USB 3.0 or USB-c universal port replicator with the Lenovo Yoga C740-15. Here is one example of a USB 3.0 universal port replicator, there are many varieties: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/startech-com-dvi-dual-monitor-usb-3-0-docking-station-black-silver/4686048.p?skuId=4686048

Q: Can I plug a Microphone the 3.5mm headphone jack? I have a 3.5mm mic that I use on my Canon camera, will it work if I try to record something directly to the computer?

A: Yes. The Lenovo Yoga C740-15 model number 81TD0005US, ships with one 3.5mm combo audio jack with microphone capabilities as well as audio out capabilities.

Q: Does this have a sd card reader port?

A: Imee.... these newer solid state drive computers do not have an sd card reader port (Best buy sellsl USB card readers ($15.00 to $40.00) that would just plug into the USB on the computer. This computer also does not have a CD/DVD Drive. You can purchase an external USB connected DVD/CD player ($40.00 at Best Buy.) In addition to that, there is no Ethernet connection port. You will need Wi-Fi to use the internet or buy a USB Ethernet adapter ($25.00 at Best Buy.) These computers are really unbelievably fast and well made with a great high definition screen but it does not offer a large storage hard drive. If you have thousands of pictures and videos etc. ... You you will need more storage you can buy an external usb solid state hard drive (not terribly expensive) but for most applications it isn't necessary. Bottom line these are great computers for the price and Best Buy is an excellent place to buy it. They stand behind the sales with great pricing! I know because I purchased a new computer that crashed after 1 day. I returned it a few days later and with no questions asked they immediately gave me a brand new one, after I showed them it crashed and it failed to reboot.
