I recently purchased the 1080p i7 version and this video was fantastic for me! Thank you! I feel that it will be great using as a student in early childhood education and as a parent who likes to make visual schedules and cards. Great job! 😊
using it for a week, i really like it even though it's a laptop from last year. everything's great except for loud fan noise that makes me worried sometimes but like. doesn't interfere with actual use.
I know this is an odd question for a laptop review.. but why the Aftershock XB1 controller for games testing on it? In your last video I saw you had a proper oem xb1 controller and sn30pro +, both of which i think are much better than that one. Intel is making some solid gains in their integrated gpu! Looks like their headhunting for talent from the top of Nvidia and AMD has paid off for them. Looking forward to them introducing something in the discrete GPU market though. Nvidia needs all the competition it can get, as things have gotten quite out of hand this generation there.
I wish they had a 1800x3200 screen, because you get around 265 ppi which is very sharp on tablet and laptop mode, and you save a bit more money and battery life
Could you do a test with an eGPU test with this laptop? I am considering getting this laptop for use with an external monitor and eGPU for gaming and blender work.
@@notjason880 is it hot-pluggable? can you just remove the egpu TB3 cable and go with your day, or do you need to do restart/turn on/off something in the device manager, etc?
Lenovo seems or appears to be avoiding the Nvidia MX250, MX350 and the MX450 dedicated Gpu's which really move up and beyond what they have in the Lenovo C940's. Suffice to say, the sticker prices on these should provide some options although my biggest issues relate to the limited options Lenovo provides assuming they are not "OUT OF STOCK" or no longer available versions.
So is the fan vent on the underside of the laptop or behind the grill hinge? If on the underside, how do you keep this laptop on your lap, when running CPU intensive apps?
Bob Smith no hp Spectre has oled I have it crushes the yoga, I admit the trackpad isn’t the best but I use a mouse . Oled is just the best picture quality
I'm probably going to go with the c940 because Im going with a fhd display, and the c940 seems like the better laptop when comparing the fhd configurations for both models. C940 also has a 12gb ram option for a nice price right now, so I'm prob going for that.
Don't want to sound like a hater but the Lenovo has no SD Card reader built in, and just not enough I/O ports... I plan to use it for content creation/art work.
Helpful video. As a Google Pixelbook owner which always stays cool with no vents on the bottom, are all these windows 2&1 not meant to be used sitting on the couch on your lap in clamshell mode? I always put a cover on me at nigh when relaxing, my Google Pixelbook sits on my lap on top of the cover, and I'm concerned about the impact to the fans when sitting like most people do when relaxing on the couch.
Keith Ian I use it on my lap all the time - while it does get warm it doesn’t get uncomfortably hot unless you’re doing heavy duty work or charging it while you use it. Not perfect but quite useable.
People that want the Dell Webcam IR and Killswitch...are idiots. Face Recognition is easily fooled and that digital killswitch is shit. It's not hard to bypass. Physical cover and a fingerprint reader are the most secure you can get.
@@xk4l1br3 You can change the power settings with Fn+Q. The Cool and silent (9 watt for the CPU) mode i nothing for gaming. The normal mode (15W for the CPU) gets up to 66 degrees on my laptop. The performance mode on the other side gets hotter and up to 90s degrees. Therefore you have 25W on the CPU.
how long does lenova support the laptop. I ask because I bought a lenova yoga pro 2 tablet 2 years ago and pokimon gomdoesnt work on it any more. very disappointed in lenova updates and will only consider this if they give me a 5 year software guarantee.
Are you crazy? That laptop has a high pitch whine that is very annoying and not present in any other laptop. I have been kicked out of rooms because of it.
Damn. I was just going to order this laptop until you mentioned it can't dualboot Linux. My sole purpose is to run Linux on it. Is that common for Lenovo laptops? Sounds very strange
Before buying any Lenovo product- be aware and be prepared for the worst customer experience of your life. The service we have received from Lenovo Africa has been disgusting, the lack of customer care, their attitude towards a warranty claim (screen malfunctioning), and general attitude of all parties involved is disgusting to say the least. I would strongly advise anyone considering any Lenovo Product think again, and look elsewhere.
Ryan Mataczynski so the laptop is great overall. My only issue with it is that the fan comes on a lot and that’s even with it on the cool and quiet setting. Idk if the computer just has too powerful of specs for itself or something but other than that it’s been a really good laptop. Great battery life, outstanding quality, amazing sound quality and it’s EXTREMELY fast to turn on and off from shutting it down
@@HeadPack I'm hoping to start a RUclips channel soon .. And it will be better on my eyes than looking at this little phone .. They don't make these cheap phones big enough for big hands .. So it makes it more difficult to do emails and stuff ..
Mark Wilson I see. That should be easier to do with the right kind of equipment. Forgive my curiosity, I am always interested in people’s aspirations, but how do you envision your tech channel? There are so many, and they often seem similar, at least when it comes to hardware reviews. Software is different. How do imagine your channel will stand out? What will you offer so people will want to watch it?
@@HeadPack my channel won't be about tech stuff for I'm just a beginner .. I'll be doing interview videos more about Tiny living and things in that nature .. The tiny home living , luxury , lifestyle
Just bought it. I am a singer and let me tell you it has a crazy satisfying speaker for a laptop, you will LOVE IT😍
Is it good for music production?
@@ManjariOfficial yes I think so but would go with the bigger 15 inch for music production

Love the hinge/speaker design
I think I'm over using my laptop as my tablet as well. I don't mind having a high end laptop and a decent tablet separately.
A laptop is just too heavy to use as a tablet. After 20 minutes or so, it feels like my wrists are about to break.
i have dual boot with Ubuntu and windows on this Lenevo model, . it works perfectly fine
That's why I got this.
Hi, What about performance for coding and connect big display monitors through USB C port? Thanks
Core i7 1065G7 - rolls right off the tongue.
using it for a week, i really like it even though it's a laptop from last year. everything's great except for loud fan noise that makes me worried sometimes but like. doesn't interfere with actual use.
Best review channel
Cos all the factor are covered 👍
Thanks I didn't know About the camera feature until u showed me already had it for a week used everyday
4K at 14" is a complete waste, 1080p is more than enough, unless you plan to use this to edit high resolution videos or something.
Great vid as usual Lon!! Can you do a comparison between this and the Dell XPS 13?

Just buy a pc
@@OakerGaming this is a PC
I have it with a razer core x chroma + evga 2080s, most games run great. I've only ran into problems with Modern Warfare 2019

4k is a must if you want to do photo editing. No 4K, no need for latest CPU.
Do a review of ideapad s540 too!
Do you think the 15" version will get the same upgrade?

Maybe a lapdesk will help!
What do you think using 15 inch version in tablet mode? It not so big? Do you recommend 14 version?
They're vastly different in internals, size and weight. Depends on how you plan to use it.
Best review 👍
awesome video! thanks so much
How does it look when you are writing on a 1080 p display can you really see pixels and is it annoying?
Can this handle esports titles like dota2 or league of legends?
hi lon, could you let me know or advise/show me if i can play old school runescape on a cheaper 150-200$ laptop/pc
Do you recommend it or the new XPS 13 2020 ? Thanks
how long to they loan the gadgets to you for?
Interesting I was just looking at an ideapad wondering if I should buy it
Does it have intel Iris in France with the I7 ? Thanks
What color is it ?
Mica or iron Gray ?
The one he has is mica colour
Here’s the real question:
Can it run Minecraft?
Yes
Definitely not the Raytracing version ;)
not sponsered, followed by the one they sent us lol. but love the reviews you do.
Followed by the one they sent us ON LOAN. How is that a sponsorship?
People that want the Dell Webcam IR and Killswitch...are idiots. Face Recognition is easily fooled and that digital killswitch is shit. It's not hard to bypass. Physical cover and a fingerprint reader are the most secure you can get.
Will Ubuntu run if I used a virtual machine?
How did you download the games... Can anyone help me
i dont think so but i have to ask can it run nba 2k20 in low settings
I am mostly interested in the igpu performance on these
just bought one of these. Played Dota Underlords and the cpu was cooking at 74'c. It damn near burnt my lap. It gets hot as fuck

Since there is no dedicated graphics card.
Yes it should handle that but you'll want the GPU for higher-end compositing, etc.
@@LonSeidman
Can I add a dedicated graphics card with the usb c port ?
@@indiantechnicaltime8338 you can with its 4-lane thunderbolt 3 ports
wow very nice..i hope i can afford a laptop...i like it so much...

Wait this 14” has 16gb of ram? Mine only came with 12 wtf
Michael Darby you realize you purchase the config you select and the price varies with it right?
Michael Darby how are you liking the computer? I think I’m looking at the same one you have with 12gb ram. With the hd display as well

Jose yeah but I wasn’t told there was a 16gb ram option
There is a 12GB version via Certain stores (Like Best Buy) with limited options... where also 16GB comes with the 4K screen.
