Today at IFA 2019 Lenovo has unveiled its latest flagship Yoga range laptop, the Yoga C940. The system, which comes in two sizes, 14-inch and 15-inch, builds on last year's Yoga C930 (currently sits in T3's top 2-in-1 laptop guide) with a range of spec improvements and new features, as well as tweaked design.
In terms of highlight improvements, the main takeaway is that now the powerhouse 2-in-1 can be equipped with up to a 10th generation Intel Core i7 CPU and, in the 15-inch edition, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 GPU. Also noteworthy is the 4K VESA certified DisplayHDR screen, which delivers a remarkably bright (for a laptop) 500 nits.
This Dolby Vision packing panel has a 89 per cent screen-to-body ratio, too, thanks to new "razor thin" bezels.
In terms of design and build, the C940's chassis is crafted from aluminium, and features a garaged digital stylus pen slot (which charges the pen when not in use), a manually operated webcam privacy shutter, and a raised camera bump to allow easier opening of the system.
The C940's casing also comes with a Windows Hello biometric authentication reader built in, while Lenovo's Q-Control feature (enabled by pressing Function-Q) allows the user to shift into the machine's Intelligent Cooling Mode, which helps improve performance and battery life.
Onto battery life, and the 14-inch variant of the C940 is slated to last up to 17.5 hours with a FHD screen, while a 4K panel reduces that to 10.5 hours, which is still impressive considering the resolution and peak brightness.
Elsewhere, the Yoga C940 comes with Wi-Fi 6 and a redesigned rotating soundbar powered by Dolby Atmos (which means that no matter which orientation the device is in sound remains immersive).
