A 2019 Yoga C740 convertible with a memory upgrade story
The Lenovo Yoga C740-151ML (2019) is a 15-inch convertible built around an Intel Core i5 10210U with 64GB of RAM, priced at $349 — almost exactly the convertible-class median of about $356. The verdict calls it fairly priced, and the standout line in the data is the memory: 64GB against a class median of 32, double the typical machine and firmly in the top quartile.
Double the memory of its class
In the convertible bracket, where 16-32GB is the norm, 64GB is a statement. Whatever else this machine is asked to do, it will never be memory-bound: heavy tab counts, office suites, media work and developer toolchains all fit with room to spare. The i5 10210U is a capable quad-core of its generation, and the folding form factor plus a 15-inch canvas makes it a comfortable media and note-taking machine.
Graphics are off the menu
The verdict's leading weakness is graphics: no discrete card on file (score zero against a class median of 3.84) and no game capability flags that survive. Reliability also reads low at 22 versus a class median of 49 — worth a battery and hinge inspection before purchase. This is a productivity and media convertible, not a gaming or creative-workstation proposition.
A modern convertible depreciation pace
From a $1500 base the C740 has settled at $349, about 9.7% per year, with a projected $285 in two years. That is a typical recent-convertible curve — meaningful in dollars, but the entry price is median-fair.
Convertible neighbors
Pricier options include the ThinkPad X13 Yoga G1 ($382) and IdeaPad Flex 5 14ALC7 ($395); cheaper ones include the X13 Yoga Gen 1 ($321) and EliteBook x360 1040 G5 ($328). Lenovo's own Flex 5 14IAU7 ($350) and Flex 5 14ABR8 ($345) sit sideways. In this crowd the C740's claim is the 64GB RAM configuration at a median price.
Bottom line
The Yoga C740 at $349 is a median-priced convertible with double the class memory — a fair deal for buyers whose work fits in a browser and an office suite. Graphics capability is absent from the conversation and reliability (22) deserves a pre-purchase check. For RAM-hungry light duty in a folding chassis, it earns its price.
