The 14-inch Lenovo Yoga C940 is the new 2-in-1 convertible laptop redefining smarter performance and design with its all-metal chassis and clever built-in features, like TrueBlock Privacy shutter, Windows Hello biometric authentication, and garaged pen with silo charging and Windows Ink. Enable Lenovo’s exclusive Q-Control [3] by pressing Function-Q to shift into Intelligent Cooling Mode for your PC to auto-adjust performance and optimize battery life based on tasks – up to 17.5 hours [4] in FHD and up to 10.5 hours [4] with a UHD display.

 

With a full range of intelligent features, the 14-inch Lenovo Yoga S740 is designed to help people save time. Powered by up to 10th Generation Intel Core processors, it has a hands-free IR camera login. That IR camera can also detect your absence after a few seconds and enable instant log-off, or if you’re watching a video and need to walk away for a few minutes, your PC is intuitive enough to pause the video and automatically resume upon your return. You can even opt to blur your background during video calls, so your cat doesn’t make a surprise appearance during your next online brainstorm. This device will also have a new child safety setting that reminds kids to limit their screen viewing time in one sitting.

Combined with theater-like specs like a 15-inch FHD HDR display and a TrueBlock Privacy Shutter, this laptop also has a longer-lasting battery.
