The best!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid, sturdy, fast, lots of storage and plenty of ram. The backlit keyboard is extremely useful, a must have. The touch screen is useful and the big, bright screen is awesome. The battery life is great even when you don't use any battery saving settings (like me). It's all I need and want and more. What's not to like? I recommend.

Good laptop for the price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great speed, keyboard is nice and spacious I like that because I have bigger hands than normal people so it works for me, might be different for you. The screen is a good size I like that it has small bezels but it doesn't get super bright, it's fine for what I use it for but you may or may not like that. It also has a slight brownish tint compared to my desktop I have at home it's not that much but I did notice that, it has a nice 1080p display that doesn't look too bad its nice and sharp looking, touchscreen is a nice plus although I rarely use it but it's nice to have. Overall a good solid Speedy laptop at this price range wish it was maybe 100 to 200 cheaper but maybe you can catch this baby on a sale.! Maybe just a few cons I can think of is no HDMI port so maybe get an adapter (usb-c to HDMI), when you go to open the laptop it's kinda slippery because of the design and the metal material, it's not like a deal breaker but just something to think about.

Awesome 2-in-1 15.6" Laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Lenovo Yoga C740 2-in-1 15.6" Touch-Screen Laptop is awesome!! The Intel Core i5 processor is excellent, and the 12GB Memory helps make the start-up and processing unbelievably fast. From the moment I power-on my laptop to the point in which it is available to use is less than 30 seconds. Unbelievable. And the processing speed is lightning fast. Also, the laptop comes with a fingerprint option that is incredible ... you no longer have to try and remember userids and passwords. And on top of all this, you have an amazing touch screen that almost makes you feel like you have 2 computers in 1. I would definitely recommend this computer to anyone looking for a lightning-fast computer with touch screen capability. You won't be disappointed!

Great Computer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had several brands of Laptop computers over the years. I stopped using Windows along time ago but recently went back... I like it so much I bought a second one for personal use and one for work.... By no means am I computer savvy.... So specs and such are beyond me. I rate it on durability and usability, it works, it doesn’t lag, looks great, it’s thin and light, and the speakers sound good. I would recommend this laptop.

Great for Family Use
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We are happy with our Lenovo Yoga C740. We use it mainly as a family computer and home schooling. It has more than enough power and speed for the kids online classes and all of our family uses, a long battery life, and a big clear screen. The computer is a bit heavy, but that is ok with us since this computer sits on a desk or table most of the time. We also wanted the larger keyboard and screen since we will be doing a lot of reading and word processing on it. Due to the size, the tablet functionality is a bit cumbersome if you just want to lay in bed and watch a movie (however, we didn't buy it for that purpose).

Good value for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop is very good quality for the price I bought it at. It’s fast, the visual and audio quality is pretty average if you’re looking for a laptop that will get you through zoom calls, and it’s very light and convenient. The storage is great and Alexa is a bonus; however, the USB port is very tough to push a cord in and the fan is a little noisy. If you buy this laptop, you may want to look into getting a screen protector and stylus because finger smudges are a little tough to wipe off the screen. I’ve only had this laptop for a week though, so it still runs great.

I needed an PC though for a specific job where I couldn’t use a Mac. I do have to say that the build quality is great. The speed is great. Overall I am very satisfied. The keyboard is nice and has good travel. The 10 key is a very nice addition as well. The touch screen is responsive. Battery life is really good as well.

A great find
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Move over Apple and here comes Lenovo. I really liked the packaging, it was fun to set up and the set up was very quick. I have not owned a Window computer in years so navigating from Mac OS to Windows is painless with the updated features of Microsoft Edge and Windows 10. The laptop is heavy and takes some getting use to but it has the numeric keypad that I was wanting. Bonus is the camera shutter feature no more sticky note to block the camera. Tablet mode is a bit awkward due the size of the screen but as a mature user it is great on the eyes. Keyboard key size is perfect larger than the MacBook. I really enjoy working on this laptop the speed is awesome with multiple windows open. Great personal computer for school and surfing/personal web browsing which is all I use the computer for. Screen and sound quality is great for watching movies etc. I will not be buying another MacBook ... Lenovo is the brand of choice going forward. Consider the following accessories: Yoga mouse and Active Pen 2 if you an artist this pen is very precise. Yoga mouse is light with an innovative design don't let the weight fool you it is the best mouse I've ever used.

Great for the Price
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I decided to finish school and needed a laptop, since most things are done online right now. Normally, I'm into HP products and would rather use those. However, at the time that I needed a laptop device, many of the HP models in my price range were sold out and the cheaper ones didn't have the features that this one offers. To make long story short, for price it functions as it should. Downloads are fast. Images are clear. Keys are easy to use. Basically the user manual outlines exactly how to set it up. If you don't want to read the usual manual, there is a voice setup that guides you every step of the way. The touch screen feature works perfectly. The overall design is very sleek and light weight. Beautiful color choice. The only two issues that I have is that the battery doesn't last the entire 11 hours. It usually starts to die around the 8 hour mark. The great part is that the charging doesn't take very long and you can expect a full charge within 20 to 30 minutes. Storage is easy. Cleaning is easy. However, I would recommend a protective cover because it matte finish does stain and scratch easily.

This model number 81TD0003US, ships with a 3CELL_60.3WH_INTERNAL, Lithium Polymer Battery, with a battery life of up to 15 hours, depending on the work the device is performing. If you are only getting 8 hours of battery life, be sure Battery Conservation mode is turned off. This power setting is to be used when the laptop is plugged in all the time. It will prolong the overall battery life by only charging the battery to 60-percent capacity. Here is a link to instructions for turning off Battery Conservation Mode:
https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht103159. If Battery Conservation Mode is not turned on but you are still only getting 8 hours of battery life, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. Incompatible software will drain the battery at a faster rate. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programming errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of your Windows 10 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults.

Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would like to give this 5 stars, but I'm not sure how to compare it to a newer laptop after having a Toshiba for 11 years. I like that it's pretty light compared to my Toshiba that probably weighs around 8 pounds. I really like that you can use it like a normal laptop, fold it over like a tent to watch movies/tv shows on it, or completely fold it 360 degrees to make it into a tablet. If you have it set up to switch to tablet mode, the screen will automatically switch to tablet mode when you open it all the way up. It seems pretty nice, but I haven't used it much as I have another tablet that I use more for that function. I really like the backlit keyboard function so I don't have to guess where certain keys are if I'm on the computer in the dark. Just hold down the (Fn key) plus the space bar, and it will light up the keyboard to a somewhat dim light. If you want it to be brighter, just hit those keys again, and then to turn it off....hit those keys a 3rd time. I enjoy that I can scroll with the mouse pad or zoom in/out on the screen using the mouse pad as well. That wasn't something I could do on my previous laptop. The finger print scanner is really nice to sign into the computer without having to type in a pin/passcode. With that being said, I did have trouble signing in with the finger print scanner once. The fix was pretty simple. All I had to do was uninstall the Bios finger print scanner app. The camera shutter is also a really nice addition, because I would rather not have to put tape over the camera like I used to. With that being said, it's a bit difficult to find the switch that will close the camera lens. I looked at the manual and it showed exactly where it's located. At first I thought the manual was for a different model computer since I couldn't find it. That is until I put my head about 10 inches away from the screen. The switch is literally the thickness of your pinky finger nail, and a couple millimeters in length. Now onto the negatives with the computer. These aren't super huge deal breakers for me, but they can be a bit annoying. I'm not used to having to download everything as an app. Instead I have always been used to putting a CD disk into the drive and downloading Microsoft Office or something else that way. When I downloaded Microsoft Office, I had no issue with that part. It was when I wanted to use it, that I had issues trying to find it. Usually it just pops up on the desktop as an Icon, or you can find it through one of the icons on the startup menu. I had to type it in the search bar to find it, and then pin it to my task bar. Also when doing research into all of the laptops.....it says that this computer has 15 hours of battery life. That is a lot of battery life compared to my previous computer. This is only partially true however. When I initially got everything set up, the amount of batter I had left was just over 7 hours with 98% of the battery remaining, which was almost the same as my previous computer. If you want the 15 hours or close to it, you have to manually go into all of the apps, and other stuff to select how much battery you want the computer to use for each app. With all of this being said, it's a really nice computer and I love it so far. There's so much newer stuff on this that I'm not used to using, that it can be a bit overwhelming for me to understand everything this computer can do. I felt like an idiot after getting this, because I thought I had to manually save all of my bookmarks from my old computer or else I would lose them. Me being the idiot that I am, didn't realize that if you sign in with your Google account (if you use that, or another platform like Microsoft Edge) that all of your bookmarks will automatically show up. It was amazing seeing that, but it also made me feel really stupid after spending an hour manually saving all of my bookmarks.

Posted .Thank you for choosing the Lenovo Yoga C740-15. There is a 30-day trial of Microsoft Office 365 included as part of the Windows 10 operating system. In order to keep the program active after the trial period, you will need to purchase a product key. You will not need to download any additional software. If you have installed a second copy of Microsoft Office to the computer, this may be the reason you are not getting 15 hours of battery life with low to moderate workload on the computer. Be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programming errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of your Windows 10 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. If the problem persists, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686.
