I wish the touchpad was a bigger differentiator between the two lines. The Yoga 9i's touchpad is slightly larger, but both are mechanical touchpads and basically the same. At its price, the premium Yoga 9i 14 Gen 9 should have a haptic touchpad. With its lively response that's consistent across its entire surface and also customizable, the giant haptic touchpad was one of my favorite parts of the HP Spectre x360 14. With a fantastic OLED display and some of the best-sounding laptop speakers I've ever experienced packaged inside a trim, all-metal chassis, the Yoga 9i 14 Gen 9 delivers premium goods to account for its sky-high price.

Anytime you buy a laptop or any gadget really, you should start with a simple question: What do I want this for? Because not every laptop is for the same purpose. If you want to play games, you need something heavy, loud, and with the strongest GPU you can afford. If you want a productivity machine, you can probably skip the touchscreen and 2-in-1 form factor. But laptops don’t have to be for gaming or work, sometimes they’re the thing we use to unwind and enjoy a good movie. That’s the Yoga 9i in a nutshell. Are you looking for something to serve as a music player, a movie watcher, and an internet browser that’s more powerful than an iPad but still capable of being used like a tablet?

There are areas where the Yoga 9i doesn’t excel. It’s performance is great across all mainstream apps, but nothing particularly special. It’s battery life is good, but a few hours short of stellar. Yet there’s something about the 2-in-1 design, the screen and the keyboard that makes this a great laptop for everyday use, both at home and on the go. It’s beautifully constructed and fabulous to look at, while being fast enough for anything except gaming and the most demanding creative tasks. What’s more, when you look at the price tag, it’s great value to boot.

I wouldn’t go as far as to say the latest Lenovo Yoga 9i is a disappointment, but in a world where every other laptop is taking huge leaps forward in battery life, it’s a shame that the successor to my most beloved laptop took several steps backward in this category. It features the same incredible OLED panel, a sturdy and lightweight aluminum chassis that’s even more lithe, fantastic Intel performance from the latest Meteor Lake processors, and powerful speakers alongside a satisfying keyboard. But seven hours of battery life is rough.

The Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 Gen 8 has topped our 2-in-1 laptop roundup recommendations for a year, and the Gen 9 model is a worthy successor with a splendid screen, faultless performance and battery life, and sensational sound. The Yoga is a bit more expensive but slightly lighter than HP's Spectre x360 14, so it stands next to it as an Editors' Choice award holder, matching it spec-for-spec otherwise. You really can't go wrong with either—or the previous Yoga to save cash—if you're seeking a versatile 2-in-1 for anything short of demanding games or workstation apps. Like its utmost rival from HP, the Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 Gen 9 earns our Editors' Choice award in high-end 2-in-1 laptops as an alternative to a similar computing experience.

Overall, the Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 Gen 9 is a solid machine. I recommend it to anyone looking for a new work laptop, especially if you're a creative professional who needs a device that excels at multiple jobs. Prices for the model start at $1,477; however, at the time of this writing, it's currently on sale for $1,329 on Lenovo's site.

I like the Yoga 9i Gen 9. A lot. It’s a gorgeous convertible 2-in-1 that’s very well made, and its OLED display and excellent audio make for a fun media experience. It’s also quite fast and reasonably portable. Its one significant flaw is below-average battery life. It also costs around $1,500, 50% more expensive than some other laptops with similar specs. Is a 2-in-1’s flexibility and a stunningly attractive chassis more important to you than all-day battery life? If so, then, by all means, buy the Yoga because only its battery life holds it back from a higher rating.

The Lenovo Yoga 9i (14″, Gen 9) is a well-tuned 2-in-1 laptop. Its good cooling with two fans allows decently high CPU clocks even when the Team Blue chip is loaded at max. In this scenario, the temperatures are also under control while the fan can be too noisy for some users. Still, if you don’t need the full power of the Meteor Lake processor, the “Intelligent Cooling” or the “Battery Saving” modes are the way to go if you want to hear less noise. We want to praise once again the Intel Arc (8-Cores) iGPU. When the latter is paired with fast RAM (like the soldered LPDDR5x-7467 MHz memory of this gadget) it can achieve some impressive scores for an integrated solution. For example, it can show 85 FPS in Dota 2 on High settings which could be overwhelming even for some low-end dedicated graphics.

The Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1 (2024) is one of the best looking convertible laptops I’ve seen, with a classy metal design and sturdy 360-degree hinge. The new Intel Core Ultra and OLED display make this laptop an even more compelling option, putting it in great stead to be among the very best 2-in-1 laptops of 2024.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
