    Lenovo Yoga S740 in-depth review

    Earlier this year, on the brinks of the Spring, we showed you Lenovo's thinnest laptop up to that date.

    Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

    Yoga S740 (14) - the successor to Lenovo's thinnest and lightest laptop - the Ideapad 730S. Despite that, this year's model has quite more space inside of it, in order to house Intel's latest chipset.Check out all Lenovo Yoga S740 (14) prices and configurations in our Specs System or read more in our In-Depth review.1. Remove the bottom plate The Yoga S740 (14) has 9 Torx-head screws that hold its bottom plate in place. We recommend starting the prying process from one of the front corners. Make sure you use a plastic tool in order not to scratch the surface of the panel.2[...]
