What is the experience of this new batch of products? The editor made a simple start at the press conference, and after a later summary, it was presented to you in this article.

The new flagship and lightweight selection

In the exhibition area of the new product, the first thing that attracts the editor’s attention is the new YOGA series of flip books-YOGA C940 and YOGA C740.

In a previous news article, the editor mentioned that the YOGA C940 is called a master flip book. first of all, from the appearance, the overall shape uses a simple and tough design language, and the overall shape gives people the impression of being serious but not rigid. This kind of design undoubtedly makes the C940 satisfy more users at different levels, whether it is business elites, students, Coldplay talents, or government and enterprise leaders, carrying such a laptop with them. It doesn’t seem sudden.

Metal body quota and surface sandblasting treatment, the touch is also very good, quite a texture. In terms of practicality, this design also makes the YOGA C940 not easy to slip off even if it is carried in the hand.

The moment the notebook is opened, the editor feels the convenience brought by the parallel double-axis design independently developed by YOGA, and the opening and closing and flipping of one hand is not difficult, which seems to be a less important function point, in practical use, it will often directly affect the overall user experience.

 
The opening and closing feel of the Lenovo YOGA C940 rotating shaft is very smooth

Speaking of the rotating shaft, a unique design of the YOGA C940 is also a favorite of the editor. Lenovo’s product manager jokingly calls it “sunflower”. It is the SoundBar rhythmic rotating shaft, which has a built-in loudspeaker design, integrates two tweeters in the rotating shaft, and surrounds the cavity with 1988 normal holes cut by laser, no matter how the user flips the notebook. The main vocal position will always be directed towards the user, continuously providing shocking sound effects.

Screen not only has a wide field of vision and clear display, but also fuller in color, coupled with the interactive mode that can be touched, so that the overall experience of the flipped book has been further upgraded.

Another aspect is that the editor is satisfied
with the C940, that is, under the design of such a light and thin body,
the C940 still provides users with sufficient interface design, which is
really intimate for people like Xiaobian who often travel to work.

Lightweight portable brings intelligent new experience

In addition to the two new products of the C series that inherit the characteristics of the YOGA series, the other two new products of the S series on the spot are also attractive.

 
Lenovo YOGA S940

First take a look at the S940, which also comes with the 10th generation Intel Core processor, resulting in a 30% improvement in overall performance.

Looks like a beautifully designed lightweight laptop, but compared with traditional notebooks, the S940 has two major innovative features-high-quality screens and intelligence.

In terms of inproved intelligence, such as face recognition through cameras, automatic screen locking and awakening, and the ability to move smart screens through eyeballs, and so on.

 
The interface of the Lenovo YOGA S740 is different from that of the S940

By contrast, the YOGA S740 is also a relatively lightweight product, which still uses an all-metal aluminum stamping process with high-precision surface sandblasting.

At the same time, it is also equipped with more comprehensive interface settings, which can also meet the differentiated needs of users in different scenarios.

Bottom line

Because of the objective reasons at the press conference site, the editor really has no way to conduct a more in-depth evaluation of the performance on the spot. However, after playing with it on the spot, the editor thinks that the four new Yoga products released by Lenovo are quite competitive! In appearance, the texture of metal, coupled with fine surface treatment, is very consistent with the current user’s perception of pen and electricity products. In addition, the smarter experience upgrade is one of its biggest competitive quality. Indeed, notebook computers are the earliest popular portable smart devices. However, in the early years, due to the immaturity of technology, the performance of notebook computers has not been very outstanding in terms of intelligence. Now, when the technology has been able to meet the needs of users for laptop intelligence, manufacturers do not seem to realize this in time. Lenovo’s four new products undoubtedly mark the formal development of Lenovo pc products to intelligent development, in the future, or will launch more intelligent pc products.
