Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 4K laptop review: High-performance 14-inch 2-in-1 now also with 4K touchscreen and Intel Core i7-1185G7

More pixels, better graphics performance. Lenovo replaces the 1080p touchscreen with a 4K model and upgrades the processor to an Intel Core i7-1185G7. Our update to the existing review should clarify whether the more expensive high-end configuration is worth the money and whether the 2-in-1 can really benefit from more pixels and a theoretically better processor.

Christian Hintze, 👁 Andreas Osthoff (translated by Stephanie Chamberlain), Published 02/10/2021 🇩🇪 🇮🇹 ...

We've already reviewed the entry-level configuration with a Core i5 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a 1080p display. Now we have the top model with a Core i7 Tiger Lake processor, a 4K touchscreen, and 16 GB of RAM in our hands. Naturally, we'll compare both configurations and look at the gain in benefits.

Since everything has remained the same externally, we will skip the sections that cover the case, connectivity, and input devices, unless there are significant differences, of course. You can find the details on these sections in the first review of the Lenovo Yoga 9i 14.

Input devices - Yoga 9i 14 with click problems

Touchpad

While the pad had already performed rather moderately in the original test, the current ClickPad is a middling disaster, at least its buttons are. It was the rule rather than the exception for the click buttons to jam and, therefore, not trigger or trigger too late when they finally became unstuck.

It was almost worse to experience long-pressed clicks being constantly "released" when attempting to perform drag-and-drop actions; dragging and dropping items is hardly possible in this way. This might be an isolated error in our test unit, but buyers should absolutely check the touchpad before buying; it could be a weak point of the still quite expensive high-end device.

The fact that the touchpad is not separated from the rest of the palm rest in terms of feel is also suboptimal; you can't feel any boundaries, which is unsettling.

Display - Lenovo panel with 4K and HDR

Instead of a 1080p one, a 4K UHD IPS touchscreen is now installed. The panel is supposed to have a brightness of up to 500 nits and is HDR 400 VESA certified.

We actually measure a maximum brightness of 493 nits; the display reaches an average of 453 nits with an acceptable brightness distribution of 85%.

Screen bleeding isn't a problem with this model.

* ... smaller is better

The black level and contrast are at a good level, but the 4K model is already better calibrated out of the box, so color deviations are even smaller.

Response times are slightly better than on the 1080p model but still too slow for gamers. PWM is not used.

The sRGB color space is almost completely covered now, while AdobeRGB is still at 75%, and DCI-P3 reaches a coverage of up to 90% according to Lenovo.

Outdoor use is possible due to good brightness and contrast values, despite the glossy surface not being entirely optimal for this.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
18.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 5.2 ms rise
18.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 13.2 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 32 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (22.2 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
45.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 21.2 ms rise
45.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 24.4 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 74 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (35.1 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 19035 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Performance - Top graphics, poor long-term CPU performance

The dashboard of the Lenovo Vantage software is quite cluttered due to ads, among other things.

Instead of an Intel Core i5-1135G7, Lenovo now uses an Intel Core i7-1185G7. RAM has been doubled to 16 GB, and the SSD now holds 1 TB of data.

We ran all benchmarks using the Maximum Performance mode in Lenovo's Vantage software in order to achieve the best possible results.

Processor

The Intel Core i7-1185G7 is the fastest Tiger Lake G7 CPU for laptops. Its four cores clock between 3 GHz and 4.8 GHz. Additionally, the not-uncontroversial Intel vPro (Wikipedia, news) is supported. It should be well-equipped for all the tasks that the convertible has to do.

In the Cinebench R15 loop, the long-term performance of the nominally stronger processor is disappointing in any case. However, the short-term output is significantly higher than that of the Intel Core i5-1135G7, so there's a performance gain in short tasks. But the long-term performance is even lower than that of the lower-end model! The CPU performance is nowhere near the one of the Ryzen 7 4700U in the Asus VivoBook Flip and neither is the output power.

TDP or CPU Package Power (HWiNFO) during the Cinebench R15 loop.

In the first loop, the TDP briefly reaches 44 watts. After that, it drops to 25 to 27 watts. When a new loop is started, the TDP only reaches 35 to 40 watts. After only one second, the value drops to 25 watts again, and even to 20 watts in the subsequent loops.

On battery power, we measure a performance drop of only about 5% in Cinebench R15.

DPC latencies

There are latencies when opening multiple browser tabs. YouTube playback of our 4K/60 fps test video caused eight dropped frames.

Problems are caused by the ACPI Driver for NT, a network driver, and the Kernel-Mode Driver Framework, among others.

Graphics card

The Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 iGPU now has 96 instead of 80 EUs and potentially slightly higher clock rates. You can definitely play games with this iGPU but rather at medium resolutions and details. Other graphics tasks like photo or video-editing are handled well by the graphics unit.

In the 3DMark tests, the card places itself ahead of the competition and is about 5% faster than the average model. It's about 10% to 12% superior compared with its sibling configuration. The AMD RX Vega 7 in the Ryzen 7 4700U is about 30% to 40% behind.

According to the 3DMark 11 results, hardly any 3D performance is lost on battery power.

Gaming performance

The Witcher 3 sometimes even runs in Full HD but only with low details. Otherwise, performance is rather sufficient for medium resolutions and details. Compared with the competition, the Yoga 9i takes the top position again. The average Iris Xe G7 is outperformed by 10% at least (The Witcher 3), the sibling configuration is 5% to 10% behind, and the competition with last-gen iGPUs is even further behind. The differences seen in The Witcher 3 are slightly higher than in the 3DMark tests and other titles.
