Lenovo today introduced its brand-new Yoga C940 convertible laptop with a 15.6-inch display that is aimed at performance-driven consumers and creative professionals. In addition to a large screen, the new hybrid notebook got a discrete GeForce GTX GPU, a first for the product family.

At first glance, it looks like the Lenovo Yoga C940 15.6 is an extension of the Yoga 9-series family with a product featuring a 15.6-inch Full-HD or Ultra-HD HDR-supporting display and better graphics. It comes in an all-metal Iron Grey CNC-milled chassis featuring a 360° watchband hinge that looks very similar to the chassis used by the Yoga C940 14. Meanwhile, the addition of a discrete GPU, use of Intel’s 9th Generation Core processor with up to eight cores, and some other factors (like a numpad) somewhat change positioning of the system enabling Lenovo to address demanding consumers and creative professionals who need CPU and GPU horsepower more than they need other features (more on that later).

The Lenovo Yoga C940 15.6-inch is based on Intel’s 9th Generation Core i7 or Core i9 processor with six or eight cores that is accompanied by NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 1650, a combination that guarantees rather decent performance. The system can be equipped with up to 16 GB of DDR4 memory as well as an up to 2 TB SSD (see general specifications in the table below).

Other features of the Yoga C940 15.6-inch are generally similar to its smaller brother, the C940 14-inch. The system features Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6, two Thunderbolt 3 ports, and one USB 3.1 (Gen1) Type-A connector. In addition, the convertible comes with a Dolby Atmos-supporting rotating soundbar, a far field microphone array supporting Alexa, Wake on Voice and similar functionality, a fingerprint reader, and a webcam with Lenovo’s TrueBlock privacy shutter.

The 15.6-inch version of the Yoga C940 is 17.5 mm thick and weighs around 1.9 kilograms, which is generally in line with contemporary convertible machines of this size. The Full-HD version is rated for 12 hours of operation on one charge, whereas the Ultra-HD models are expected to work for 9 hours.
