Hi everyone,
I’m currently using a Lenovo Yoga S740 and wanted to get some advice/opinions from people who have experience with this laptop.
I’d like to know:
- How is the overall performance in 2026?
- Is it still good for coding, multitasking, and daily productivity?
- Any common issues like heating, battery drain, hinge/display problems, or fan noise?
- How is the long-term durability?
- Is upgrading SSD/RAM possible and worth it?
- Any tips to improve performance or battery life?
Please share your experience, pros/cons, and whether you’d still recommend it today.
The Lenovo Yoga S740 is still a pretty solid premium ultrabook for everyday use. It has a premium metal build, great keyboard, good display, and smooth performance for office work, coding, browsing, Netflix, and light editing.
Pros:
Premium and lightweight design
Excellent keyboard and trackpad
Bright, sharp display with good speakers
Fast SSD and good multitasking performance
Decent battery life
Cons:
Can heat up under heavy workloads
Fans may get loud sometimes
RAM is soldered (not upgradeable)
Not meant for heavy gaming or serious rendering
Overall, it feels very MacBook-like for a Windows laptop. If you’re getting one now, the 16GB RAM version is definitely the better choice for long-term use.
