Why Has No One Thought Of This Before?

3, 2, 1

You wouldn't expect that to be as easy as it is to do. Yeah. So we got a new laptop here in the studio today

I actually, the packaging is kind of nice. It enticed me from the get-go

Of course, you got the big yoga branding on the top. The current device that I've been using

you probably saw it on the set on the desk downstairs, the X1 Yoga

So since I've been using this one for so long, I thought it was worth checking out a slightly different version of a similar laptop

This is also the latest in the yoga department from Lenovo. And it has some features that for some consumers might be more interesting than the solely business focused X1 Yoga

This is the C940, which is the new version of the 930

You're into something like that, Will. Yeah. Right up your alley right there

And look at that. Wow. Okay, so it's like two different takes on a very similar form factor, as you can see

It's ever so slightly more narrow. That's the new one right over there, as you can see

The display ends up taller than it does on the C940. The speaker layout is another thing I noticed immediately that changes quite a bit

The X1 Yoga you have it in this top channel up here as opposed to right along the hinge It also moves with the display and since this is a convertible unit you can see how flipping it around now places that speaker facing upright

It has a grill on each side. There's a grill on the front and a grill on the back

You can spec this thing up to 4k display with touch input

It's also got a pen in this little... oh it does not have a pen

Oh there's the pen. That's a sneaky location. Look at that right there

The whole construction here is metal and glass. As far as your ports are concerned, you have a USB type A port

followed by your power port slash Thunderbolt 3. There's a couple of those ports. A dedicated headphone jack as well

And then the other side of the unit, you have your power switch

There's also a fingerprint scanner on the front side of the device, right about there

This one's gonna give you a couple more ports on it. The USB Type-A power port, a lock

you get the headphone jack, full size HDMI, then you're gonna get another USB-A port

Thunderbolt, and there's even a networking interface available to you. So, you're gonna give up a couple of ports

Trackpad, fairly large in the center of the unit. So the key travel is not quite to the same extent

as the ThinkPad lineup, but you still have a similar curvature and scale

Slight differences here include on the directional buttons here larger left and right buttons Some buttons have shrunk a tiny bit including the right shift key the enter key backspace There a little elevated almost reverse notch type of situation

going on. You can have a slim bezel, but maintain your front facing camera in the location you would

want to have it at the top edge of the display. It also gives you a place to grip when you open

the device. You can open it at least to a reasonable location there with only one hand

As you'll see here, I go ahead and attempt to grab that and the whole unit goes up. You see that

there, Jack? The whole unit goes up. Oh, that's a little, it's a durable, it's a rugged, we're okay

right, Will? No. This, of course, a 500 nit display, 4K resolution. You can get the entry-level

version with the 1080p display starting at 1299 but that's what 500 nits looks like pro max give

you an idea there youtube video that's a 1080p video yeah yeah not taking advantage of every

single pixel two days till iphone and sound everybody else got their hands on it though

oh interesting we got to buy it from the store when it comes out this is interesting okay so

we're getting sound here see these speaker grills over here that's where your low end is sort of

originating from the bottom part of the unit and then some of your mid or high range is coming from the drill here Does it tell us where this came out of It not just a dual speaker setup There some of the action in the high end is coming out of the grill location the part

that's facing you. And then the low end stuff is coming from the bottom of the unit and bouncing off the table

We could do a quick comparison actually. From when we're filming this, two days till iPhone 11

Everybody else got their hands on it though. And they do a teardown

interesting stuff what you discover is a rectangular shaped logic board okay now that we have a white

background at the top edge of the display this also gives you a better glimpse at the front camera

slash top bezel implementation between the two you can see it's obviously more narrow on the c940

when compared to the x1 yoga look there you have it two different laptops they're so similar but yet

there's these slight tweaks depending on the customer. There's also, of course, a price

consideration. This one is going to be a little bit less expensive if you're cool with skipping

the ThinkPad keyboard and you can survive on this one. The main takeaway here is that as far as

consumer laptops are concerned, this one was capable of pulling significant DNA from the

business-grade laptops in Lenovo's lineup. And this has been boiled down into something that a

consumer could consider
