Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 8 (2023) Review
Source: Reviewed.com
The Lenovo Yoga 9i excels as an all-in-one media production and entertainment package thanks to a superb high-resolution touch screen, a great stylus, bangin’ audio, and nearly nine hours of battery life to tie it all together. For creatives who constantly get their ideas out on virtual paper, students who like taking digital notes, and anyone who likes to kick back at the end of the day and watch movies, the Yoga 9i will blow you away. But, its limited power consumption keeps it from being a machine for everyone. If you’re looking for something that’s suited for gaming, 3D modeling, or software development, the Yoga 9i’s Intel Core i7-1360P processor won’t be able to keep up. The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is the closest alternative, but its tablet form factor and the subpar battery life might be too much of a drawback for those on the go. However, if you’re more concerned about the Yoga 9i’s high sticker price, the HP Envy 15 makes for a great alternative that’s well under a thousand dollars. But as an everyday, all-purpose laptop, the Yoga 9i has more than enough power to keep up with Photoshop and Evernote, and its display is best-in-class, with excellent color coverage and a fantastic touch sensitivity that makes drawing and writing feel as good as writing on paper. Lenovo’s Yoga 9i is an exemplary addition to the convertible laptop market.

Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 8 Review: 14-Inch 2-In-1 Laptop Excellence
Source: Hot Hardware
We had a hunch that the Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 8 would be a great-performing laptop after perusing its specs, but we were still pleasantly surprised oveall. As you can see from our testing, it beat out most of the competition in its class in most of benchmarks we ran it through. In day to day use, it was easily able to handle mainstream computing tasks and image editing workloads with aplomb, while offering good battery life. Intel's Core i7-1360P processor really shines here, ensuring the Yoga 9i excelled at every task we threw at it, save for perhaps heavier gaming workloads. Add in its premium presentation and a stunning 4K OLED touch display, and you have a winner. This laptop isn't perfect and its battery life with that high-end display option, while good, wasn't among the best out there, but in most other metrics, the new Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 8 offers a very compelling 14-inch premium laptop experience. Of course, there is some serious competition here too. The Dell XPS 13 Plus immediately jumps to mind. Despite its non-convertible design, there's a lot to like about the XPS 13 Plus, especially if you like Dell's recent design language, with its invisible trackpad. Regardless, if you're in the market for a thin-and-light laptop, the Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 8 is among a new breed of PC laptop PC offerings that's hard to beat. It's not cheap at $1,530 as tested, but with its included pen stylus support, a gorgeous 4K display, 360-degree hinge and a 100 Watt fast charger, there's a fair amount of features and functionality on offer here, and it does drop in just below Samsung's new Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 as well. With its combination of features, capability and build quality, the new Lenovo Yogi 9i Gen 8 is easy to recommend.

Lenovo Yoga 9 (14″, 2023) review – fantastic build quality, efficiency, and performance
Source: Laptop Media
Once again, the Yoga 9 proves to be a fantastic laptop for your money. Indeed, it comes at a premium, but it offers more than one can digest. The features include a fingerprint reader, a Full HD Web camera with IR face recognition and privacy shutter, as well as a proximity sensor. This allows you to use the zero-touch functions, which can be enabled through the Vantage app. By the way, the same app will give you control over the performance of the notebook. With the highest available preset, you will be able to extract a fantastic desktop-grade level of performance from your convertible. The cooling is good enough, as it supports 64W and 28W power limits, respectively. There are a couple of things that we didn’t like about this machine. First – the memory. It is soldered to the motherboard, which leaves you no option to upgrade it in the future. Secondly – the port selection. Although you get two Thunderbolt 4 connectors and a fast USB Type-A port, we do miss the LAN port, HDMI connector, and SD card reader. Some business users might not like the fact that the laptop lacks WWAN support. On the other hand, the build quality of the device is simply fantastic, while the speakers are dynamic and loud. Not in the last place, you get a stylus inside the box. This will let you use the laptop to draw and take notes more easily. In our view, the Lenovo Yoga 9 (14″, 2023) is definitely worth it.

70% Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 8 Review: Surprisingly Limited
Source: Slashgear
All of this is to say that I don't think the Gen 8 is a bad laptop by any means. In fact, it has a spectacular display, really nice sound, and can handle games much better than my current workhorse. But I do think it's held back by its basic presentation. And particularly the way it tends to chew through battery power when doing anything more involved than streaming videos. I know I keep going back to my 2020 M1 MacBook Pro for a comparison but I feel like it's still apt here. Because this MacBook is three years old at this point, and despite the age difference the only edge I feel the Gen 8 really has over it is the gorgeous OLED screen — and make no mistake, it is gorgeous — and the fact that it can plan more process-heavy games better. To me, that might not be enough of an improvement to justify the price at $1700*, which amounts to an extra $300 to $400 over a three-year-old Apple product with comparable — maybe even slightly worse — battery life. Then again, the Gen 8 does include the Precision Pen 2 and can flip into tablet mode. So really it comes down to what you intend to use it for.

After last year's Yoga 9i model wowed us with its superb new look, we had high hopes for the newest version of Lenovo's best 2-in-1 laptop. With its sleek, feature-filled design, the Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 8 isn't quite a 100% slam dunk—longer battery life and more flexibility with the added function keys would be welcome—but you'll find precious little to complain about. The design is superb, the OLED display is impressive, and the overall performance is more than enough, though we do wish the move to 13th Gen resulted a larger boost in capability. (We suspect going even thinner and lighter than before put a little crimp in performance here.) Nevertheless, the excellent design and still-leading performance make the Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 8 the best 2-in-1 we've tested so far in 2023, and our new Editors' Choice pick among premium convertible laptops.

90% Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 8 review: Lenovo is clearly no longer the underdog
Source: Techradar
With the Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 8, Lenovo may have hit the nail in the Dell XPS coffin with its elevated design, speedy performance, and wonderful elements like a stunning OLED screen and a stylus included – all for less than the price of the latter. Don’t get me wrong; it’s still a pricey piece of kit, but once you have it in your hands, you’d be glad for that splurge.

The Lenovo Yoga 9i maintains its position as a top-tier 2-in-1 laptop. It boasts sleek design, excellent OLED display, and top-notch audio. The Yoga 9i also provides solid performance respectable battery life for its class. Available starting at $1,700, the Yoga 9i is somewhat expensive but delivers good value for money. Lenovo even bundles a laptop sleeve and active stylus. Anyone looking for a Windows 2-in-1 in 2023 should place the latest Yoga 9i at the top of their list.

The Lenovo Yoga 9i is a superb 2-in-1 laptop with a mindblowing OLED display, awesome performance, a spectacular sound system, and decent battery life. While it could be a little brighter, this doesn’t prevent it from being one of the best 2-in-1s out there.

This 2023 update of the Lenovo Yoga 9i series is mostly a hardware refresh of the already popular model from 2022. It's the same premium chassis and 2-in-1 format, with good inputs, a beautiful OLED touchscreen, and snappy enough performance for everyday use. In fact, this generation is actually a little bit faster than the previous iteration, but the efficiency on battery power is still not great. Overall, though, this Yoga 9i remains a competitive offer in the higher-tier ultrabook space.

The Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 8 is an excellent 2-in-1 laptop that feels like a premium piece of tech. From its polished, rounded aluminum edges to the vibrant OLED display crowning the punchy soundbar, every inch of this laptop feels classy. It doesn't just look good on a desk, either; this convertible is speedy enough for day-to-day work at home, in the coffee shop or in class. With its $1,399 starting price tag it's priced to compete with laptops and 2-in-1s that don't look or sound half as nice, and the included stylus and carrying sleeve with every Yoga 9i is icing on the cake. However, the fact that Lenovo no longer builds a charging garage into this laptop limits the utility of the stylus and increases the odds of losing it. And as well-rounded and appealing as our Yoga 9i review unit is, it still falls short of the competition in some key ways. Most notably, the display is dimmer yet far more saturated than similarly-priced and similarly-sized competitors like the Acer Spin 5 and the Acer Swift 5. They both also outperform our Yoga 9i review unit in terms of both raw CPU power and video editing, despite being competitively priced and packing older CPUs than the 13th Gen Intel Core i7 in our review unit. They also both outlasted the Yoga 9i in our battery rundown test, as do many of the ultraportables we test these days. So if you want a beautiful Windows 2-in-1 with stylus included that will serve you equally well in class or in the conference room, the Lenovo Yoga 9i is one I heartily recommend — as long as you know the downsides as well as the benefits. If you want a laptop of this size specifically for gaming or video editing and don't mind it not turning into a tablet you'd probably be happier with the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, a 14-inch gaming laptop that's competitively priced with the Yoga 9i. If you don't mind macOS, Apple's MacBook Pro 14-inch is more expensive than the Yoga 9i (and lacks its touchscreen or 2-in-1 versatility) but delivers far more power for photo and video editing, as well as a brighter and more color-accurate display.

Lenovo Yoga Book 9i initial review: A versatile package
Source: Pocket Lint
The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i is a unique proposition, offering mobile users the advantage of increased display space. There are clever functions to support those screens, but you'll really need a desk to get the most from it - so those working on their lap might find it slightly limiting. The stand is clever however, and with versatility in use, deployment might only be limited by the user's imagination.

I tried Lenovo’s dual-screen OLED laptop, and it’s what the folding laptops should have been
Source: Techradar
The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i is likely to be a productivity workhorse without being a powerhouse. If you're good with that, then this is going to be a great laptop for you, but otherwise, you will have to lookk elsewhere for higher performance. The design, however, is definitely innovative, and it's a far better solution to the dual screen needs of a lot of users than a foldable laptop will ever likely be, so if you're a multitasker who's tired of not being able to switch between screens with ease the way you are on a desktop (or at least with external monitors), then your laptop is coming. Just be prepared to pay the premium for that additional screen real estate.

Lenovo Yoga Book 9i hands on: A dual-screen multitasking beast
Source: Tom's Guide
The Yoga Book 9i is a compelling alternative to foldable screen laptops because it gives you two 13-inch displays in one package you can use in multiple modes. There's some clever software gestures and multitasking features here, too. But the starting price is very high and the design is on the thick side.

When it starts shipping in June, it’ll be available with storage configurations of either 512GB or a full terabyte of solid-state drive space to stash your files in starting at an eye-watering $2,100. If it performs as well as it looks on paper when we test the final version, the price may be worth it for artists, serious notetakers, and devoted split-screen multitaskers.

First Impressions: Lenovo Yoga Book 9i (2023) Review
Source: Trusted Reviews
The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i is the most exciting laptop I’ve seen in 2023 so far. Its dual-screen design allows for numerous use cases, whether you want to mimic a dual-monitor setup, use the device like a book/tablet or even revert back to a classic clamshell form. This feels like a more realistic option than a foldable laptop, since it’s cheaper to design and doesn’t suffer quite as many software issues. It’s still likely too expensive for the average person considering the specs, but this could well be a glimpse into an exciting future for laptops, in both 2023 and beyond.
