the screen itself can get bright enough to
compensate.
Viewing angles could be better, though.
While this is an IPS display, it was hard to find
an angle that provided steady brightness
throughout, particularly on white
backgrounds. It’s the kind of thing you might
not notice until you notice it, at which point it
becomes an annoyance.
KEYBOARD AND TRACKPAD
The keyboard on the Lenovo Yoga C940 15 is
among the nicest you’ll find on a consumer
laptop. Although the keys lack the same travel
as on Lenovo’s ThinkPads, they provide a
pleasant tactile bump on the way down
without being overly loud. (Oddly enough,
the snappy sounds I heard on Lenovo’s
14-inch Yoga C940 weren’t as apparent here,
perhaps because the larger and heavier body
absorbs more of the noise.)
While not everyone needs a number pad
on their laptop, Lenovo managed to fit one on
the Yoga C940 15 without major sacrifice.
Modifier keys such as Shift and Ctrl are a bit
smaller than usual, but the size and spacing of
letter keys are the same as on Lenovo’s 14-inch
laptop.
