Lenovo Yoga A940 - $1000 Cheaper Microsoft Surface Studio Competitor

Microsoft Surface Studio finally gets its first competitor on this very niche market targeting animated or graphic design studios. Unveiled in CES 2019, Lenovo is delivering their all-in-one PC alternative at a much lower price and offers more useful features. Here are some of the highlights:

1. Precision Dial

A fully customizable nob which can be located on either side of the display that has a button at the end, and two different size dials. The specific functions of all the controls can be different based on application, which is especially useful for content creators. 

2. Tilting Screen

The 27-inch touch screen display is available in QHD or 4K resolutions and has the ability to tilt to 25-degree crafting mode. So creators alike can get up close and personal with their work. 

3. Included Peripherals 

Other than the Precision Dial, included peripherals are a keyboard, mouse, a station to wirelessly charge your phone and the Active Pen. You can cleverly store away all the accessories under the display to clear up room for the screen to lower down. 

Other notable features about the Y940 are the desktop-class Intel Core i7-8700 processor and the AMD Radeon RX560 graphics. The minor details also include the five speakers for the immersive audio and video with Lenovo generous amount of I/O ports. All of this for the starting price of $2350, which isn't cheap by any means, but if your line of work requires creativity in art, the Y940 would seem like a bargain.
