Just got the computer. First computer I bought in like 10 years 😂 I couldn’t figure out how to use the wireless mouse and keyboard. Thanks for that input.
I personally am enjoying my experience with this workstation using primarily for animation, comics, game design, some audio editing/ recording, and light video editing (4k). It serves its purpose and I haven't had pen issues (thankfully).
old video that popped up. Attempting to use a Mac on a Windows based computer, defeats the purpose. And lenovo knew this. So I can't blame them from a competitor's perspective. You pretty much set yourself up for disappointment and let an Apple computer be the primary reason to take it back. With that being stated. I was able to get it working. When I plug in the hdmi cord with my Mac. My Lenovo recognize my smart television that is still Bluetooth to it. Long story short. My television mirrors the Mac unto my Lenovo, where it runs properly.
My mom used to communicate with IT tech when she worked at the newspaper. Apple is a lot like Sony. It won't work with other products and you have to buy a bunch of add ons in order for another thing to work. They hate Apple products, which is why I would never buy anything Apple no matter how good it is. So, the first guy is right. It's your laptop.
Actually I bought an art screen from Amazon, an XP-Pen Artist 24 unit. Doesn’t have touchscreen but has Pennant put the pressure sensitivity, and I can run it on PC and Mac. Works great!
That's a lot of money to spend just to run something else on it as a monitor. Why not just buy a monitor....if your review is just on its ability to run as a monitor its kind of usless...
Klaus’s Trailers it’s a tossup but I’m partial to final cut and I use the apple Magic Trackpad to scrub fast through the content. I haven’t really used Premier.
I need to ask how you insert the precision dial. The usb plug is covered and I don't know how to take that off without causing damage. Thanks in advance!
Thanks for this review. It's excellent and perfectly timed. I've been waiting to find out more about the A940 since Lenovo announced it earlier this year. I have a feeling you anticipated this as much as I did, and for the same reason -- hoping that it might play well with our Macs. I shared your disappointment at the 13:06 mark when you proved, alas, that it's not to be. Thanks again for sharing this with us!
EDDoc Gamer Buy one Eizo monitor for 900 dollars for that purpose . Lenovo is a special product anyway. OMG. Your problems with the low refresh rate is caused by the crappy Belkin dongle you use - change the dongle.
este modelo está bien lo que no entiendo es porque lo han dejado de producir con nuevas versiones mejorando procesador tarjeta grafica memmoria ahora sacana otros modelos mas feos y peores

It’s so difficult to find new content on the A940. Cheers
I know -- that's why I had to pick it up and try for myself.
Sorry it work for you. Love Your Honesty. THANK YOU.
hi, that model can be used for architecture ?
Nice kitchen island 👍

does the adaptor work for both 110v and 220v?

Have you found a device that does it all now?
Actually I bought an art screen from Amazon, an XP-Pen Artist 24 unit. Doesn’t have touchscreen but has Pennant put the pressure sensitivity, and I can run it on PC and Mac. Works great!
@@AnthonyBrutico nice! Yeah I have the studio and wish I could find something similar. I was thinking of the Apollo monitor on indegogo, but not sure.
hi, great video. however i just bought this computer but my screen display is too warm for me, how do I change it to natural or cool looking?
Not sure - didnt keep the device. I assume the windows display or GPUdriver?
Hi! How do you install applications to it? Without HDMI?
It’s a regular pc. Don’t follow you.
Thanks for the review>
Did you try to use the Thunderbolt port to run the monitor with Mac?
Ahmed Bamqadem yea no dice
That's a lot of money to spend just to run something else on it as a monitor. Why not just buy a monitor....if your review is just on its ability to run as a monitor its kind of usless...
Yeah and please don't attach Mac prehistoric tech to this wonderful device...
Hi, I'm very interested in how it everything turned out. Did you ever get it to run on 60hz? Will it run at 60hz if you connect it to a console?
Calvin Wang nope. The port is spec’d for 30hz
@@EDDocGamer Did you ended up going with the Microsoft surface pro instead? - does the newest version support 60hz
Calvin Wang the surface studio does not have a video input. I assume the device is 60hz, but with no video input you can’t run a Mac through it.
Would it be safe to assume that it wont be the best dual monitor with any laptop? Regardless if running windows or iOS?
Yes, the HDMI in port is spec'd to run 4K at 30Hz
its already out for sale?
Yes Best Buy
Hackintosh?
Which one is the best yoga a940 or imac 27 inch ??
For now iMac. Unless you love to write on the screen....
EDDoc Gamer imac 27 inch better than yoga a940 in editing?
Klaus’s Trailers it’s a tossup but I’m partial to final cut and I use the apple Magic Trackpad to scrub fast through the content. I haven’t really used Premier.
EDDoc Gamer yeah, it’s really hard to say which is the best but why do you think that iMac 27 inch is better ??
Klaus’s Trailers screen is better, more sleek and better OS in my opinion
I need to ask how you insert the precision dial. The usb plug is covered and I don't know how to take that off without causing damage. Thanks in advance!
The plug is covered by a magnetic circular piece that you should be able to pull off.
@@EDDocGamer Okay thanks! I've tried to pulling it off by that little open area it has.
We’re you able to charge your iPhone wirelessly? Heard it only supports android
Lesedi Modise no it charged

I know - wait for the alleged surface pro monitor due in 2020....
2490 dollars computer only to be used like screen mirror for mac laptop ? Insane.
Panzerino02 wasn’t only for that. But I use a Mac so much, I need that as a feature.
EDDoc Gamer Buy one Eizo monitor for 900 dollars for that purpose . Lenovo is a special product anyway. OMG. Your problems with the low refresh rate is caused by the crappy Belkin dongle you use - change the dongle.
thank you so much for this review. i couldnt find the refresh rate of the panel used on this device ANYWHERE. i will avoid this product.
No problem. I would say that for the entire device, that was the only thing that truly made it a impossibility for my daily workflow.
@@EDDocGamer me too. You made this video to help people. And that, you did 👍🏾
Wich one is better a940 or surface studio 2
Mr.X surface in my opinion
it cost a lot money
not impressed by the screen, it looks very washed out and dull
portalplayer you know it’s not a surface studio screen, but it’s not bad. I’m waiting for the surface monitor that’s supposed to come out in 2019-2020
EDDoc Gamer Dell XPS 27 is way better. It’s the king of AIO screens.
este modelo está bien lo que no entiendo es porque lo han dejado de producir con nuevas versiones mejorando procesador tarjeta grafica memmoria ahora sacana otros modelos mas feos y peores
wow
Audio Audio Audio
Audio is really good!
@@EDDocGamer I mean the audio on the video is way to low even with bluetooth speaker can not hear what you are saying
MrHellstorm74 yea sorry about that. It sounded loud on headphones!!
i agree i cant really hear or understand you much due to low volume
