Case

Lenovo has translated the 14-inch Yoga C940 chassis perfectly for a 15.6-inch form factor. Surfaces do not feel any weaker or more flexible despite the expanded volume for a solid first impression. Attempting to twist the base or lid results in just minor flexing to be in line with the competing XPS 15 or ZenBook 15. Rigidity is a step above the lesser Yoga 730 or 500 series where materials feel thinner, cheaper, and more prone to warping.

Much like last year's Yoga C930, the C940 continues the tradition of a notched bezel and a hinge with integrated speakers. The former provides an easier grip for opening the lid while the latter allows for stronger audio. However, we suspect Lenovo will eventually drop the characteristic notch as webcams have become smaller as exemplified by the latest XPS 13 and HP Spectre 13 designs.
