Lenovo Yoga 9 14 2in1 G10 review - The high-end convertible suffers due to weak 4K OLED
Lunar Lake brings longer runtimes.
Lenovo's new Yoga 9 14 2in1 is the convertible flagship for consumers and, in addition to a high-resolution 4K OLED display, also features the latest Intel Lunar Lake processor, enabling longer battery life than before.Andreas Osthoff, 👁 Andreas Osthoff (translated by Daisy Dickson) Published 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 ...
Verdict - The Yoga 9 14 2in1 G10 features some improvements, but a weak 4K touchscreen
The new Lenovo Yoga 9 14 2in1 G10 is a great convertible with a sturdy and high-quality aluminum case—plus, its switch to Intel's Lunar Lake processor results in quieter fans, improved efficiency and longer battery runtimes. However, Lenovo could've gone for one of the new Arrow Lake H processors, which would have helped the laptop's multi-core performance in particular. Overall, its system performance is still very good and thanks to its fast iGPU, the Yoga is even suitable for the odd gaming session.
Its input devices are decent, but we still noticed a difference compared to the ThinkPad keyboards and its clickpad leaves some room for improvement. The included stylus feels comfortable to use even when taking long notes, it and can be magnetically attached to the case. The laptop's sound system with the modules in the hinge is impressive, and its M.2-2242 SSD can be replaced. Otherwise, however, its maintenance options are limited (RAM and WLAN are soldered on).
Its switch to a 4K screen solves the problem surrounding the grainy picture that the predecessor model with a 2.8K panel showed, but resolution isn't everything at the end of the day. Its picture quality is by no means bad, but on an expensive flagship convertible, we would expect a higher frequency than 60 Hz as well as correspondingly accurate color profiles for P3 and sRGB. Users also don't have the option to work in the sRGB space and the screen's color deviations aren't optimal (even after calibrating). So overall, the 4K panel isn't the best choice for editing images/videos. In this respect, the Asus Zenbook Duo is superior.

The Yoga 9 14 2in1 is Lenovo's convertible flagship for private customers and last year, it was given a completely new case. For the current G10 model, the manufacturer now relies on the more efficient Lunar Lake processors from Intel. Our test device is the 83LC000PGE variant for $1,734.99. In addition to a Core Ultra 7 258V with 32 GB RAM, it also comes with a 1 TB SSD, an active stylus and the aforementioned 4K OLED touchscreen.
Specifications
Case - The Yoga 9 is clad in aluminum
This model's aluminum case is unmodified compared to its predecessor. The rounded base unit with the polished side is still slightly larger than the screen lid, which doesn't necessarily look the best visually, but this design looks higher quality than the Yoga 7 14 2in1 G10 (review coming soon). Our gray test device isn't as susceptible to fingerprints as the blue version, which is also still available.
We noted no problems with its build quality or stability, and both the base unit and the lid are very sturdy. The large hinge, which additionally serves as a speaker, is a visual eye-catcher and the hinges themselves are excellently adjusted. There is only minimal rocking when you adjust the lid's angle and it can be opened with one hand. The camera hump, on the other hand, doesn't look particularly good, but at least it helps to open the lid. As a convertible, the screen can of course be folded down completely.
The competitors are all very close in size, but at just over 1.3 kg, the Yoga 9 is one of the lightest models. The 65-watt power supply weighs another 325 grams.
Connectivity - Copilot+ & Wi-Fi 7
Thanks to the Lunar Lake processor's NPU, the Yoga is classed as a Copilot+ laptop with support for all of Windows' advanced AI functions. Nothing has changed in terms of its connectivity: It features Thunderbolt 4 and can be charged on both sides, but it still lacks an HDMI output and a card reader.
Communication
The installed Intel BE201 module supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. Its transfer rates in conjunction with our reference router from Asus were very good and stable during our test. We also noted no problems with signal quality.

Webcam
The laptop's 5 MP webcam, which includes an IR sensor for facial recognition and a mechanical cover, remains unchanged, and Studio Effects for the webcam are also supported. Above all, its picture sharpness is better than with the usual 2 MP modules.
Maintenance
The bottom cover can be removed, but doing so is made unnecessarily difficult by two hidden screws under the glued-on rubber stand on the back. Neither the RAM nor the WLAN module can be replaced. Maintenance work is therefore limited to cleaning the fans, and the M.2-2242 SSD and the screwed-in battery can also be replaced if necessary.
Sustainability
The Yoga 9 14 fulfills several environmental certifications (e.g. Energy Star, Carbon Neutral, EPEAT Gold), but Lenovo hasn't provided any information on the device's CO2 footprint or the proportion of recycled materials used. Its packaging can be fully recycled and a maintenance manual is also available.
Input devices - The Lenovo Slim Pen is included
The backlit keyboard (optionally automatic via a sensor) features precise pressure points and sufficient key travel (~1.4-1.5 mm). All-in-all, it feels comfortable to type on, but the Yoga can't quite reach the quality of the ThinkPad keyboards. There is an additional column with special keys on the right side, although we aren't sure how useful these keys will be. The fingerprint sensor at the bottom right is easily confused with the right arrow key, and whether you really need a separate key for the sound mode is also questionable. Dedicated buttons for screen up/down would certainly have been more helpful.
At 13.5 x 8 cm, the device's clickpad is sufficiently large and its glass surface is nice and smooth. The lower area of the pad can be clicked mechanically, but this is acknowledged with a somewhat loud and therefore cheap sound. Of course, you can also make use of a capacitive touchscreen, and the Lenovo Slim Pen (4,096 pressure levels, rechargeable via USB-C) is included in the laptop's scope of delivery. Unlike the ThinkPad L13 2in1 which we recently tested, the pen can't be stored in its case, but you can at least attach it magnetically to the lid. However, this is of little help when carrying it in a bag. The shape of the pen is reminiscent of a regular pen, so you can write quite comfortably for longer periods of time. The touchscreen also feels nice and smooth, and even small movements are captured cleanly.
Display - 4K OLED at 60 Hz
The old G9 model's 2.8K OLED display struggled with a grainy picture, which is not the case with the current 4K touchscreen (3,840 x 2,400 pixels, 16:10). Subjectively, its picture quality with deep blacks and vibrant colors is very good, but its frequency is only 60 Hz, which becomes clearly noticeable during movement. Still, its response times are super fast and we noted no backlight bleeding, although it does suffer from PWM flickering. Within the 85-50 % range, it uses DC dimming at 60 Hz and with a small amplitude, but below this, we measured classic (and potentially more problematic) PWM flickering at 240 Hz. The screen's brightness can be regulated automatically via a sensor, but the color temperature can't.
Although its maximum contrast ratio is excellent thanks to its low black level, the OLED panel doesn't do the best when it comes to brightness, either. In SDR mode, we noted a maximum of 370 cd/m² and in HDR mode, the screen achieved a maximum brightness of just under 575 cd/m². Nevertheless, the other convertibles in our comparison group also have this problem.

* ... smaller is better
We analyzed the panel using the professional CalMAN software and because Lenovo doesn't provide users with any color profiles, we were limited to the P3 color space. Its factory calibration is sufficient for everyday use, but its color deviations are partly above the important limit of 3. After performing our own calibration (profile is available to download for free above), we could mainly correct the color temperature, but we couldn't get all color deviations under control. The 4K OLED screen is therefore only suitable for editing images/videos to a limited extent, although its color space coverage is good.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 240 Hz Amplitude: 60 % | ≤ 85 % brightness setting |  |
The display backlight flickers at 240 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 85 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 240 Hz is relatively low, so sensitive users will likely notice flickering and experience eyestrain at the stated brightness setting and below. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8439 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||
The laptop's shiny display becomes an issue outdoors and there are a lot of reflections, especially on very bright days. Thankfully, however, its viewing-angle stability is very good.
Performance - Lunar Lake with 32 GB RAM
The Yoga 9 14 2in1 G10 is equipped with Intel's Lunar Lake CPUs, which come with either 16 or 32 GB of RAM (LPDDR5x-8533, onboard). Dedicated GPUs are not available.
Testing conditions
Lenovo offers three different energy profiles (battery saving mode, intelligent cooling, maximum performance), which are also linked to the Windows profiles. We ran the benchmarks using maximum performance mode to get the best performance out of our test device. During everyday use, however, you can easily use one of the other two modes and benefit from the quieter fans.
| Profile | TDP | CB R23 Multi | Time Spy Graphics | Cyberpunk 2077 1080p High | max. fan noise emissions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Battery saving mode | 25/19 watts | 8,020 points | 3,739 points | 23.4fps | 32.7 dB(A) |
| Intelligent cooling | 37/24 watts | 10,164 points | 4,140 points | 33.4fps | 35.6 dB(A) |
| Maximum performance | 37/30 watts | 11,023 points | 4,130 points | 33.9fps | 44.9 dB(A) |
Processor - Core Ultra 7 258V
The new Lunar Lake processor Core Ultra 7 258V is designed to be significantly more efficient than the old Meteor Lake chip in the predecessor model. Accordingly, its maximum power limits of 37/30 watts are significantly lower than before (67/39 watts) and, together with a lower number of CPU cores, its multi-core performance is also weaker than previously. In turn, however, it remains more stable. The laptop's single-core performance is better and overall, its performance is easily sufficient for everyday tasks. Nevertheless, given its cooling, an Arrow Lake H chip with comparable power limits would have been a good fit, too. The device's performance stays constant in battery mode.

Graphics card
The Arc Graphics 140V is a fast integrated graphics card that can easily cope with everyday tasks, including playing back high-resolution video. In the synthetic benchmarks, its advantage over the old Arc Graphics was around 15 % and it's perfectly possible to play modern games on this device. Both Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur's Gate 3 can be run smoothly in 1080p and medium details. You can also use XeSS upscaling including Frame Generation as long as it's supported by the game you're playing—we took a look at this in our analysis of the Lunar Lake iGPU. The GPU's performance remains stable both on battery power and under prolonged load.

Noise emissions
The Yoga is an impressively quiet companion during everyday use, and we would recommend using one of the weaker performance modes as long as you don't require the maximum CPU performance. In this case, however, the fans can become very audible, reaching a maximum of 44.9 dB(A) during our test, which is too loud considering its TDP of 30 watts. There were no other electronic noises coming from our test device.

Temperature
The laptop's aluminum case stays nice and cool in idle mode and during simple tasks, and there are no problems even under full load. We noted only one hotspot in the rear middle area of the underside during our test, which measured 46 °C. The other values we noted were significantly lower. The keyboard area in particular remained comparatively cool at a maximum of ~37 °C. In the stress test under combined CPU/GPU load, the SoC stabilized at 30 watts after an initial 37 watts and then stayed stable at this level.
(+) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 38.4 °C / 101 F, compared to the average of 35.4 °C / 96 F, ranging from 19.6 to 60 °C for the class Convertible.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 46.8 °C / 116 F, compared to the average of 36.8 °C / 98 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 24 °C / 75 F, compared to the device average of 30.3 °C / 87 F.
(+) 3: The average temperature for the upper side is 31.1 °C / 88 F, compared to the average of 30.3 °C / 87 F for the class Convertible.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 26.4 °C / 79.5 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(±) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28 °C / 82.4 F (+1.6 °C / 2.9 F).

Speakers
The laptop's sound system consists of a total of four modules (2x tweeters, 2x woofers, 2 watts each) and the result is very good. In our analysis, the current model also performed slightly better than its predecessor. Two modules are located in the front of the base unit and the other two are in the "soundbar" or hinge, which directs the sound straight to the user.

Power management - Improved runtimes
Power consumption
Despite its higher screen resolution, the new Yoga 9 14 with the Lunar Lake processor requires less power in idle mode than its predecessor. We measured a maximum of 7.5 watts at full brightness. Its lower power limits are also clearly noticeable under load. During the stress test, the maximum was 61.5 watts and after a short time we still measured 53 watts, so the included 65-watt power supply is completely sufficient and the laptop's battery doesn't have to be tapped even during peak loads.

Runtimes
The device's battery capacity remains unchanged at 75 Wh, but its runtimes are significantly better than before. During the Wi-Fi test at 150 cd/m² (corresponds to 70% of our test device's maximum SDR brightness), we recorded 13:44 hours—almost 4 hours more than the old G9 model. At full brightness, the WLAN test still ran for 09:28 hours and the video test even lasted a little more than 16 hours. These are very good results overall. In the worst-case scenario, the battery was drained within 2 hours. A full charge takes 108 minutes with the device switched on (80% after around 70 minutes).
