Horrible
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Within three months I was back at Geek Squad having to send my laptop out for repairs. It stopped charging and powering on. This is by far the worst laptop I’ve owned. 2 weeks into online school and I’m using my 6 y/o HP. It might be slow, no touch screen, or a 2 in 1, but at least it works.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought Yoga C740 15'' laptop in May. The price is about $1,000. I don't like this computer, because WiFi keeps dropping out on Windows 10. I must reconnect. I have tried many ways to fix it, but so far I couldn't fix it, even professional IT.

Overheated while charging otherwise loved it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As soon as I plugged in the laptop to charge it, it started heating up. Since the case and keys are metal, the keyboard surface also got hot. When I unplugged it, it cooled off but the screen dimmed noticeably.

Posted .It is normal for any laptop computer to feel warm to the touch while charging or under maximum workload. There is an internal fan within the Yoga C740-15 to maintain the proper operating temperature for the computer under normal situations, including charging and maximum workloads. Regarding the screen dimming when unplugged, this is a power management setting function. You can set your power management settings to maintain screen brightness at the same level whether plugged in or on battery. You can do this by going to Control Panel, Hardware and Sound, Power Options. Click on Change plan settings next to your active power plan. Click on Change advanced power settings. Scroll down to Display, then under Enable adaptive brightness, switch it off for both the battery and plugged in modes. Here is a link to more information: https://windowsreport.com/prevent-laptop-screen-automatic-dimming/#:~:text=Go%20to%20Control%20Panel%2C%20Hardware,battery%20and%20plugged%20in%20modes
- Pros mentioned:SpeedCons mentioned:Fan noise, Heat
Returned one (HOT, noisy!) - kept one (Perfect)
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.LOVE the keyboard, touch pad, screen resolution, speed. HOWEVER, I returned one unit because it got HOT and was noisy. The one I switched it for is wonderful. No fan noise, no heat. HOWEVER there is an issue (ON BOTH) with the quotation mark key. It doesn't type until you hit it a second time ... and then it does it double. I figured out how to solve it by going to the Lenovo forum. But if you can't figure it out, it's not a keeper. It has to do with the "language bar". (Even the Geeks thought it was a software issue and said I should return it!) And, even after finding out the "fix", it's still an issue because the computer keeps changing it by itself. But, not such a big issue once you know about it and just click it back to "English US" (NOT International). Lenovo, if you are reading this, please let me know how to permanently fix this!!!!! WOULD HAVE BEEN A 5 STAR WITHOUT THIS ISSUE.

Yoga-i7
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s was great for the first 4 years, now time to get a new one. The fan would periodically get really loud even after a year- not sure if normal or a deficiency. Speed seemed good, but I didn’t run a lot of applications on it. I did not switch between touch screen & keyboard use a lot- just Usually normal laptop function.

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Lenovo Yoga C740-15. Windows 10 Home, the Operating System on the Yoga C740-15 should not crash. Be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. You mention using a remote workstation software, be sure this software is compatible with Windows 10 and this computer's specific configuration. 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.
