Lenovo Yoga 9i Review | Trusted Reviews

The Lenovo Yoga 9i is super-stylish, and comes with a 4K display and sensational speakers – but is it undermined by disappointing design?

Impressive design, both visually and ergonomically;Good-quality 4K touchscreen;Punchy, detailed speakers;Decent battery life and keyboard

Haptic touchpad is disappointing;Intel's hardware is beaten elsewhere;Some irritating design decisions

Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 review: combining sophistication with speed

The Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 is a premium 2-in-1 laptop with loads going for it

Powerful performance ; Great sound ; High-quality display

Basic stylus ; Average battery life ; The touchpad isn’t always effective

Be it for business or academia, the Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 is sure to help boost your productivity. It’s a good-looking and powerful machine with a fantastic keyboard as well as a stunning touchscreen display. The battery life might be mediocre but this PC...

Lenovo Yoga 9i review

A powerful, stylish 2-in-1 that can go the distance

Phenomenal performance Outstanding battery life Garaged stylus Great sound

Expensive 16:9 screen ratio

A surprisingly powerful laptop, the 11th-generation, Intel Evo-certified Lenovo Yoga 9i is plenty capable of handling just about anything you can throw at it and has a phenomenal battery life to keep you going long after it's competitors throw in the...

Lenovo Yoga 9i review: Shadow Black ain't all that

Lenovo's top-end laptop is full of high-tech ideas - but some sound better than they function. Here's the 9i Shadow Black edition's highs and lows.

Excellent 4K screen ; Ambitious design ; Advanced speaker array ; Neat slot-in stylus

Haptic touchpad is not a hit ; Relatively shallow keyboard ; 4K screen reduces battery life

Heaps of great ideas don't all quite come together: the trackpad we just can't get on with, while the 4K screen limits battery life. However, the screen is a very capable panel that really stands out.

Lenovo Yoga 9i 14in Shadow Black review: One of the best 2-in-1s

The choice of premium 2-in-1 laptops just got more interesting

Good battery life ; Excellent UHD display ; Top-end Core i7 processor

No Windows Hello facial recognition ; Touchpad's haptic action is odd ; Obscure touchpad and fingerprint scanner

Is the Yoga 9i good enough for an outright class win? Not quite. I found the trackpad and fingerprint scanner just too bothersome. Is the HP Spectre the best then? Again, no. While the HP’s OLED screen is a delight, the Yoga 9i's display runs it a very...

Lenovo Yoga 9i review: A worthy flagship?

The Yoga 9i is Lenovo's flagship ultraportable notebook. But is it worth shelling out for it? Or should you settle for one of Lenovo's more affordable models? Answers and more in this review.

Irreproachable build ; Looks and feels expensive ; Gorgeous OLED display ; Humongous trackpad ; Good ports selection ; Above average speakers

There are better value alternatives ; A little heavy ; No memory card reader ; Gets warm under heavy loads

Lenovo Yoga 9i 14in (Shadow Black) review: Betrayed by its own ambitions

The excellent 4K display and bass-boosting soundbar lift this convertible from the crowd, but it has flaws

There's a lot to like about this laptop, then, but it's not without its problems. The trackpad is an attempt at innovation that ends up holding the Yoga 9i back, and you'd be well advised to pick up one of the configurations with a more traditional...

Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 Review: An excellent convertible with yesterday’s display

The Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 is a well-built convertible 2-in-1 with great performance and battery life that's held back only by its 16:9 display.

Rock-solid build quality ; Competitive productivity performance ; Excellent battery life ; Superior audio quality ; Pen is included and conveniently docks

Keyboard remains a little shallow ; 16:9 display is yesterday's technology ; Colors are a little muted and inaccurate

Lenovo Yoga 9i (14-inch) review: sounds like a winner

Laptop speakers never sound this good.

Excellent speakers and audio system ; Powerful processor ; All-day battery life ; Good value for specs

Staid design ; 16:9 screen is cramped and dimmer than the competition ; Bloatware mars the experience

Lenovo’s 14-inch Yoga 9i is the latest in the company’s long line of convertible laptops. It stands out, thanks to an excellent speaker system and good value, but it’s not as head-turning or as nice as HP’s Spectre x360.

Lenovo Yoga 9i (14-inch) review: Already stellar 2-in-1 gets a bit better

Eleventh-gen Intel processors bring better performance and battery life, but the rest of the package sticks to last year's script.

Overall faster performance and longer battery life; Built-in active pen with improved screen feel

Innovative design features only available on Shadow Black version; Memory soldered on

Like I said at the top, not too much has changed from last year's Yoga C940, at least on the Mica version I tested. You get better performance and battery life, an improved typing experience and a new tip on the included active pen for more pleasing...
