Lisa Gade reviews the Lenovo ThinkPad P40 Yoga, a rare 2-in-1 convertible 14” mobile workstation. The ThinkPad P40 Yoga is largely a rebadged ThinkPad Yoga 460 (or ThinkPad Yoga 14, as it’s still called in Best Buy stores).
** Read our full written review here:
It adds NVIDIA Quadro M500M 2GB DDR5 dedicated graphics, a very good WQHD 2560 x 1440 IPS display option and a fingerprint reader to the consumer oriented Yoga 460 formula. It starts at $1,484 with the 1080p display and $1,722 with the WQHD display.
The P40 supports both touch and pen, and Lenovo’s small pen is included in the built-in silo (you can buy a larger ThinkPad Pro pen for $40). This is the same Wacom AES digitizer and pen with 2,048 levels of pressure sensitivity and palm rejection that we’ve reviewed In the ThinkPad X1 Yoga, ThinkPad Yoga 260 and Yoga 460. The 3.96 lb. (1.79kg) convertible laptop ships with Intel Skylake 6th gen Core i7 dual core 15 watt CPU and 8 or 16 gigs of DDR3 RAM in one RAM slot. It has a 2.5” SATA3 SSD in your choice of 256 or 512 gig capacities. Intel 8260AC dual band WiFi 802.11ac with Bluetooth is standard, as is a 720p webcam.
