9 aspect ratio
No IR camera
Edgetoedge glass touchpad only available on the leather version
Antiglare display finish

Abstract: Lenovo has a bit of a spotty record when it comes to laptops. Its ThinkPad range is rightly lauded as a peerless powerhouse of portable productivity, but its other clamshells and convertibles can be hit-and-miss, such as the underwhelming ThinkPad T14s...
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,
The Lenovo Yoga 9i is sleek, stylish and sturdy, and comes with a great screen and speakers - but irritating design, mediocre Intel hardware and the underwhelming haptic touchpad all hinder this hybrid.ProsImpressive design, both visually and ergonomicall...
Top-end Core i7 processor, Excellent UHD display, Good battery life
Obscure touchpad and fingerprint scanner, Touchpad's haptic action is odd, No Windows Hello facial recognition
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 cl...

Abstract: This isn't quite the type of machine I'm used to reviewing, but man it's interesting. This is the Lenovo Yoga 9i – this is the ‘Shadow Black' model, with the new Intel Evo 1185G7. I've reviewed the Razer Blade Stealth which had the 1165G7, but those are s...

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 towe...
Abstract: You have Windows Hello using the fingerprint scanner, but you don't have it for facial recognition. Lenovo Yoga 9i display is 14 inches, and it's 1080p IPS display panel. It has pretty good color accuracy like you could totally do design work on this and...
Solid build quality, Reliable performance, Touchscreen display, Versatile and portable, Surprisingly good speakers, Comfortable keyboard, More than adequate memory capacity, Great battery life with USB-C charging, Thunderbolt 4
Pricey, Could use more ports, Design is a little too bland
The Lenovo Yoga 9i is an excellent 2-in-1 laptop that will satisfy just about any consumer unless you're into heavy gaming...
The Lenovo Yoga 9i is a hit or miss depending on how you look at it. Yes, it has a more premium vibe to it with the implementation of an all-leather cover and a glass surface and trackpad but the overall experience is unfortunately compromised with this i...
