Great for school work and casual gaming
||Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.I walked into Best Buy to buy a new Surface or something with similar specs under $800. I wanted a Surface because it's what I've been using for years and I know that they are great for school work and casual gaming. However, with a typecover and other accessories, I was looking at spending over $1k..I don't know what I was thinking but this was not an option. Especially during these hard times. I also love The Sims 4 and every once in a while I'll record my game-play. The Best Buy employee who assisted me was very knowledgeable and attentive to my needs and recommended this gem. I was a little hesitant because I've been playing the Sims for years and it's very rare when I find a PC that is not only good for school but can also smoothly run the game. I'm so glad I listened to the Best Buy associate because not only was he right but moving forward, I think I will always buy a Lenovo Yoga! I spent less and it's pretty amazing. So far, this computer packs a lot of power and it's running great! It feels and looks like a premium PC. It has a beautiful bright display and the keys on the keyboard are not so tight together making it a breeze to type up documents such as cover letters and resumes. I never have issues multi-tasking. The yoga can handle multiple tabs with different videos, while running programs like Word, Teams, Outlook, and Skype. When recording my game-play with OBS studio, there is NO LAG! Of course, if you use OBS and buy this PC, I strongly suggest you customize your settings in OBS as you should always do. This was an affordable option and I feel blessed that it is of great quality because I feel as though I'm getting so much value for the money spent! I'm confident that I will excel in my second semester of my RN program with the help of this device. Thanks Best Buy. Hope this helps! :)

Problems....
||Posted .Owned for 9 months when reviewed.Overall I love the computer and all of its features like the backlit keyboard, how solid it is, and the screen size and resolution. Except that so far I have not been able to use it properly on 2 occasions now.... the first time my sound stopped working and I went to update windows to see if that was the issue because that's what Google said to try and The update completely crashed my 6 month old barely used computer. I ended up sending it back to lenovo and they fixed it up for me and it had been working just fine. Until now, another windows update and now it crashed my intel wifi driver and can't get online anymore. So at this point I'm not sure who to blame. Windows for making sh*ty updates? Or lenovo for making a computer that is not compatible with those windows updates? I'm getting frustrated because I've barely even used the thing and I'm already seeking support once again for this computer. Also for those with a problem with the webcam...... There is a small cover over the lens. Move that over and Viola. (Yes I thought it wasnt working too until I realized the cover was there)

||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.The laptop is amazing. But I would like to tell bestbuy to be more cautious about the packaging. There was no cushioning around the main laptop box. It was sent in the laptop original box and it was dented I was glad to see that my laptop was not broken.

Buy It!
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Great laptop! I recently decided to upgrade from my old Dell, and this computer has not disappointed yet. It has a lot of features for the price and is super fast. I only use my laptop for email, web surfing, Microsoft Office Suite, very basic photo editing, and a few online games here and there. I was disappointed that Best Buy didn't seem to carry any accessories for it, like the pen or screen protectors, especially since you can use this as a tablet. I purchased the pen directly from Lenovo that functions flawlessly. I also managed to find a perfect fitting screen protector and cover to keep my purchase protected. The screen is crisp, love that I finally have a backlit keyboard, and the charging is super quick. If I really had to nitpick, the camera isn't spectacular, the privacy shutter is a little difficult to slide, and I am not used to not having the right hand side number pad (although this is smaller laptop than my previous ones). Overall, this is still a 5-star laptop in my book.

Fantastic
||Posted .Owned for 4 months when reviewed.I do love my Lenovo. Especially the table view. When doing a recipe the stand alone feature is great. Will ask you if you want tablet mode. One thing. If amazon is turned on, when you are on another site, she pops up with their say. Lol. Kinda irritating. It is quick and easy to surf.

Good for a while
||Posted .Owned for 3 months when reviewed.Good at first, then had several problems connecting to the internet. This is supposed to be my college laptop.. not reliable, whatsoever. Yes, it is a light and beautiful laptop, which is fast when it works, but the amount of troubles I’ve had with this laptop is INSANE. I’ve had it worked on by Lenovo, and a week later had the same issue.. I wish I could return this, but unfortunately I can’t because Best Buy only returns after a month, and I’ve had this for about 3 months. If it didn’t have so many issues, this would be the best laptop, sadly. I have to use an Ethernet adapter to get online, when it doesn’t have an Ethernet input.

Q: QuestionMy camera on this laptop is not working it doesn’t look broken and I don’t know what to do. (This was after I set everything up and when everything was working) how much does it cost for a replacement?
Asked by Ben.
- A:Answer The Lenovo Yoga C740-14 ships with a Privacy Shutter over the lens of the installed web cam. There is a manual slider just above the web cam lens to open this Privacy Shutter. Be sure this Privacy Shutter is open before you use the web cam. Here is a product tour video for the Yoga C740 Series that also shows the Privacy Shutter. When the shutter is closed there is a red dot over the web cam lens. When the Privacy Shutter is open there is no red dot over the web cam lens.

Q: QuestionIn which regions does the active pen come with the laptop itself in the box
Asked by Ginny.
- A:Answer Unfortunately the Yoga C740-14 does not come with an active pen in the box, the Yoga C940-14 and C940-15 do. However the Yoga lines uses the Wacom digitizer that means the display gives you tilt support enabling it to do shading.
