Reviews for the Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 2022 i7-1260P
Lenovo uses a completely redesigned chassis for its high-end convertible Yoga 9i 14 and also includes modern tech like Alder Lake CPUs, a 16:10 4K OLED screen, Thunderbolt 4, and Wi-Fi 6E. The package is rounded off by excellent Bowers & Wilkins speakers.

I review a lot of laptops, and if you’ve heard of it, it’s probably crossed my desk. So when I say that the Lenovo Yoga 9i is now the best laptop on the market, I’m saying that from a place where I’ve actually tested the rest. The only caveat is that Dell hasn’t announced this year’s XPS 13 and HP hasn’t announced this year’s Spectre x360, but Lenovo has just gone so far beyond what it’s offered in previous generations. It’s phenomenal. The bottom line is that if you’re going premium, this is the laptop you should buy.

In terms of battery life, the 9i averaged seven hours and 38 minutes of continuous work use, which included a heap of Chrome tabs with some Zoom calls and Spotify streaming overtop here and there. That’s shaping up to be around what you can expect from ultraportables in this Intel generation. You can likely make it through a workday on lighter workloads — on a day when I was mostly using Google Docs and didn’t have any Zoom calls, I got closer to nine hours. One annoyance: Like many other Yoga laptops, this thing comes with a lot of bloatware. Various McAfee antivirus programs were pre-installed, and I was getting pop-ups all the time. Uninstalling it took a while and required me to close all my tabs and restart the system at the end. That feels a bit overboard for a device that’s close to $2,000.

Everything about the Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 7 sees significant improvements on top of an already near perfect package from general computing usage to impressive audio/visual performance. Buyers willing to forgive some issues will find the Yoga 9i is still the laptop/tablet hybrid to beat.

There are a lot of things the Lenovo Yoga 9i gets right: the gorgeous 4K OLED display, the elegant form factor, the powerful processor, and the excellent stylus response. To top it all off, the Yoga 9i comes with a laptop sleeve and a good stylus out of the box. The base configuration with 8GB of RAM and a 1920 x 1200p screen starts at $1,449, however, there are better-value 2-in-1s out there. The HP Spectre 14t offers a similar experience for a starting price of $1,499, but it’s often on sale for about $1,000, with the 4K OLED version often on sale for as little as $1,380—although you’ll have to bring your own stylus. The MSI Summit E13 Flip is on the pricier side at $1,600, but it trades performance for better battery life and has a brilliant stylus pen that rivals Microsoft and Wacom pens. Meanwhile, the Lenovo Yoga 9i is not only cheaper, but you can easily find the base configuration on sale for as low as $1,230—not to mention both the HP and MSI laptops have better battery life.

The Yoga 9i Gen 7 is a marked improvement over last year's iteration in many ways. That's saying a lot considering how much we liked that 2-in-1 laptop, but this update is simply that good. The beefy 12th Gen Intel Core i7 processor and bountiful RAM allow for seamless multi-tasking, while the spacious keyboard lets you work comfortably for hours. The improved webcam and roaring speakers are also highlights. While the battery life on our configuration is less than the previous model, you should be able to get through most of an average workday. The only major complaint I have with this laptop is that it makes for a somewhat awkward tablet. Yes, the touch interface is snappy and easy to use, but the laptop's size means you can't comfortably hold it in one hand as you would with smaller tablets. But it's entirely possible some folks will consider the Yoga 9i as a perfectly capable Windows tablet despite its size. Minor qualms aside, this is one of the best 2-in-1 laptops we've tested and is one worth considering.

The Yoga 9i is a premium-tier all-purpose convertible laptop. It's built well and doesn't compromise on anything important, such as screen quality, inputs, audio, or performance. It even packs a large battery inside, but that's somewhat negated by the lackluster efficiency of the Intel Core P hardware that powers this generation. Still, this is a competitive package with excellent pricing, and I'd expect it will meet a lot of interest this year.

Lenovo's Yoga 9i 14-inch is an excellent addition to the company's long line of capable premium 2-in-1s. It packs strong performance, a great OLED display, excellent audio, a pleasant keyboard, a large touchpad, and future-proof connectivity into one compact, versatile package. Though Intel's new Core i7-1260P is performant enough for many professionals and creators, the Yoga 9i's size and connectivity makes it ideal for travelers, students, and everyday users who want a premium Windows experience.

A decade has passed since Lenovo introduced the first Yoga 2-in-1. Though Microsoft's Surface devices set the trend, it was arguably the high-volume Yoga line that became the true vanguard of mainstream convertible design. Lenovo's Yoga 9i 14-inch (2022) builds on this decade of experience in all the right ways. From the thin profile to the powerful internals, this year's model delivers blazing fast performance in a tiny package. Although the fan noise can be a bit loud and we feel as though it relies too much on USB-C, overall we were impressed with this machine.

We're big fans of the HP Spectre x360 14, but the Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 7 delivers better performance and a couple of hours' more battery life, thanks partly to the latest-generation Intel silicon. The Yoga's performance and efficiency boost is paired with an equally eye-popping OLED screen. We're bummed that neither 2-in-1 laptop offers an HDMI port, but otherwise each is a brilliant premium convertible and splendid status symbol, with the Yoga narrowly taking the Editors' Choice crown.
