The presence of gadgets that excite us is what sparks our creativity. I affirm!
The world is full of cool designs, both in the flat world of posters and logos, and in the three-dimensional world of gadgets. We all know that the things we see, the things we hold in our hands, the shapes and the use of colors make our hearts flutter. You know, you want to collect all kinds of shoes and put them on according to your mood, don't you?
When creating such designs, designers use various gadgets. In particular, a personal computer with high creative productivity is one of the important items. is. but. I have a concern here.
Performance of the personal computer should be high. What's your computer style? Can a computer with a rugged functional beauty and a cool exterior produce a cool design? Is it possible to raise the feelings of creators!?
Even if Kobo-san chose a brush that he liked, wouldn't he be able to write with ease? What do you think, High Rock?
All-in-one desktop Yoga A940 and Mr. High Rock that tickles the hearts of men
Mr. creator. And he also has the side of a gadget aniki who has continued to collect many wonderful things.
HiRock usually uses pen and paper when making rough designs, and he specializes in laptop computers, but I dared to ask him to touch the desktop Lenovo Yoga A940. Because this all-in-one computer is amazing.
When you use the keyboard, you put up the monitor.
When you want to use the pen, you lay the monitor down.
Yes, the Yoga A940 monitor is a touch panel, and you can do design work with a touch pen. What is this gimmick, isn't it exciting!
Equipped with 9th generation Intel® Core™ processor. For purchase, go to a nationwide consumer electronics retailer or Lenovo Shopping
The CPU is an 8-core Intel Core i7 9700 and the memory is 16GB. The graphics chip has high performance for creators, and it's a new type of 2 in 1 desktop with a 27-inch touch screen.
On the side of the monitor, you'll also get a Lenovo Precision Dial, a dial controller that can control Adobe's Illustrator, Photoshop and Lightroom. When using a touch pen, you can change the thickness and type of pen by simply turning it.
Pen in hand. Dial in one hand. A groundbreaking personal computer that allows you to concentrate on designing with both hands while looking at the screen. That is the Yoga A940, a designing machine that Lenovo gives to creators.
For painters and photographers who want to bring the 27-inch 4K touch panel closer to the front, the Yoga A940 should come into view after considering their wallet. Mr. High Rock, how about this one that won the Good Design Award in 2019?
Yoga A940 is a mass of originality and functionality
“The first thing I thought was that it didn’t imitate Apple’s context. I felt like I wasn't paying attention to that, but this Yoga A940 is different.I was blown away when I opened the box."
High Rock used to go to Akihabara and build his own Windows computer. Tower-type so-called desktop computers are also good. but,
"I think it has to be cool either way. If the tower is cool, I want to use it, and if the all-in-one type is uncool, I don't want to put it in my home or office."
How about the design of this Yoga A940?
"Good. You can feel the future.
I don't think it's good for the design to just be stripped down. It's already a mess, some cute, some cool, and some useful.
It's easy and easy to say that it's simple and cool by just scraping it off, but isn't there something interesting about traditional Japanese home appliances and old things? I don't think it's very pleasant to be stuck in a direction like "simplicity is design".
So this Yoga A940 got me excited from the moment I opened the box. In a place that seems to have a lot of gimmicks.”
The huge 27-inch touch panel of the Yoga A940 has a big impact, but Hi Rock was also paying attention to it.
"A touch panel of this size is amazing. It's amazing that you can touch it and operate it. Even when you're looking at a web page, it feels different from what you're used to browsing."
What if you use it at work?
"I'm not a designer who draws pictures, so I've never actively used a stylus in my work. But this machine makes me want to try it." It's easy to draw, and I think it's a great match for animation studios.
The advantage of this age of technology is that there are so many tools to choose from. In the transition from paper to digital, it is important that everyone can make the best choice for themselves and produce good creations. That's why I think it's great that we creators have one more option, the Yoga A940."
By the way, this time I shot at Hi Rock's atelier, and the shelves, walls, and floors are full of all sorts of cool gadgets! What is this, a museum?
While I'm envious of being surrounded by so many things, I thought it would be difficult to make a choice.
"After all, I like things, and before I know it, I'm getting more and more.
That's why it's best to get something that has as many functions as possible. That way, you can reduce the number of things you own.
In that sense, I think it's really good that the display can be used as a touchpad PC as it is."
Yoga A940 has a very original exterior design, but there is a reason for the design of each part. For example, the dent in the stand and main body is actually a keyboard dock.
"It's also interesting that the keyboard can be stowed away when not in use."
The space next to it is a Qi charging panel that I thought was a mouse pad!
"I see, if you leave your smartphone at work, it will charge."
And as I mentioned earlier, you can connect a dial controller to the side of the display. This is a USB connection type and can be attached to the left or right side of the display.
"This is nice. Yes. It would be even better if it had a memory. When I take work home from the office, I put data in this dial. When the F1 driver gets out of the car, he holds the steering wheel. Just like you're going home, you pull this out and take it home. Isn't it cool?"
When I asked if there was anything else I liked about the design, the focus was on the mouse.
"It's hard to find such a simple mouse, so I'm happy that the manufacturer is releasing this mouse."
Keep diversity within yourself. That's Mr. High Rock's creative
Mr. High Rock usually uses a notebook PC.
"It's become like my pencils and paper. I can work on the main table or on the sofa. It feels different when you work in different places." Is it?”
Since it was about a desktop computer, I thought that people would not be interested in it. But this Yoga A940 is "Like". The reason for this became apparent when I asked about Mr. High Rock's work techniques.
"It's important to have options that change depending on your mood. For example, you want to drive a variety of cars. A classic car with heavy steering is good, and a modern car with power steering is easy to drive. It's good to have options that you enjoy.
That's why it's said that it's good to be serious about your work, but in reality, if you can't be serious, you can't do it. If you don't do that, you'll only be able to go as far as designing if you think it's good. I have to be someone who can say no to my own work even after reaching the goal.
That's why I try not to make judgments. I'm always chasing something that doesn't have a correct answer, so if I love my work and myself too much in the process of making it, it won't go in the right direction."
That's why I like the Yoga A940.
“We find it very interesting to fly a drone, drive a car, or manipulate something. I also find the Yoga A940, which has a lot of people, interesting.The same goes for this dial.You can also use a pen.There is also a mouse and keyboard.It's full of fun just thinking about how to operate it!"
