Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 G8 2023 convertible in review: Intel Raptor Lake disappoints

Lenovo offers a high-end 14-inch convertible in the Yoga 9i 14, which is now entering its 8th generation. Appearance-wise, the new Yoga 9i 14 G8 remains faithful to its predecessor, but uses Intel's new mobile processor from the Raptor Lake generation (13th gen), the Core i7-1360P. In review here is the model with the 2.8K OLED screen, but the variant with the 4K OLED, which we reviewed last year, is alternatively available. Our test device with 512 GB SSD storage currently costs US$1,499.99 on Lenovo's website in the USA; the model with 4K OLED and 1 TB SSD storage costs US$1,749.99.
In the following review, we focus mainly on the new Intel processor and the 2.8K OLED panel. For detailed information about the case and input devices, we refer to our extensive review of the Yoga 9i 14 G7 from last year:

Case & Equipment
Lenovo completely redesigned the chassis of the Yoga 9 14 last year, so the design is now primarily rounder compared to previous versions. There are also contrasting elements such as the polished surrounding edges or the display hinge, which also houses part of the sound system. In addition to the Storm Gray of our test device, a silver-colored model is also available.
Despite the 16:10 panel, the bottom edge of the display in particular is still very wide, which negatively impacts both the screen-to-body ratio (78%) and the case's overall depth. Moreover, the two halves of the case are not completely flush with each other when the laptop is folded.
Both the workmanship and stability are very good and we have no criticism here. The central hinge in particular is very well adjusted and holds the comparatively large lid very securely in position. Fingerprints and dirt are not really much of an issue for the matte metal surfaces. In terms of ports, the WLAN module and the webcam, no changes have been made compared to the 2022 model.

Maintenance
Input Devices - Precision Pen 2 included
We also refer to our review of the predecessor for the input devices, as there are no differences here. The key travel is comparatively short, but the keyboard still offers precise and crisp feedback and thus a very good typing feel overall. In addition, the keyboard backlight can be activated via a sensor, which also works well. However, you have to get used to the additional column on the right side.
The clickpad works flawlessly, but the clicking noise still sounds very loud and cheap. The Yoga 9i 14 also comes with the Lenovo Precision Pen 2 by default, which cannot be stowed in the case, but offers the ergonomics of a normal pen and works very well overall.
Display - 2.8K OLED with 90 Hz
Lenovo offers two different glossy OLED touchscreens for the Yoga 9 14. The 4K OLED touchscreen, which we tested in the 2022 model, is still optionally available, but the 2.8K OLED touchscreen is installed by default. According to the spec sheet, this offers a slightly lower resolution of 2,880 x 1,800, but a higher frequency of 90 Hz. This works well in the case of moving images, but the 2.8K OLED also displays a moiré effect, i.e. a slight grid (not visible on the subpixel image). This is particularly noticeable on bright surfaces and at short sitting distances. This shouldn't be a problem at normal sitting distances, but you should pay the surcharge of US$250 for the 4K panel if you want to avoid this phenomenon and be on the safe side.
The core values of the two panels are comparable, as we determined a maximum SDR brightness of around 380 cd/m² and a maximum of around 570 cd/m² in HDR mode, but Windows' HDR implementation is still in need of improvement. HDR mode has to be manually activated in the settings and then the color management no longer works either. As expected, the black level is extremely low, resulting in a very high contrast ratio. Backlight bleeding does not exist in OLED panels, but PWM at a frequency of 360 Hz kicks in from a brightness of 86% or less.

* ... smaller is better
We measured the display using professional CalMAN software (X-Rite i1 Pro 2) and the picture quality is already decent in its factory state, especially in the grayscale. No color cast is visible; only the color temperature is slightly too warm. However, there are some deviations in the colors, which we were unable to improve significantly, even with our own calibration. As with the 4K panel, the Yoga 9 14 is thus unsuitable for image/video editing, despite the high color space coverage.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
Screen flickering / PWM detected | 360 Hz | ≤ 86 % brightness setting | |
The display backlight flickers at 360 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 86 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 360 Hz is relatively high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. However, there are reports that some users are still sensitive to PWM at 500 Hz and above, so be aware. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 19046 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. |
The highly reflective touchscreen is problematic outdoors. The high contrast of the OLED panel helps, but reflections quickly become a problem. In terms of viewing angle stability, there are basically no limitations, but a slight blue cast is visible at certain angles, which is typical for OLED screens.
Performance - Intel Raptor Lake
The new Yoga 9i 14 G8 is currently on offer with just the new Intel Core i7-1360P and 16 GB LPDDR5-5200 RAM. Only the hard drive capacity has different options, namely 512 GB and 1 TB.
Testing Conditions
In addition to the performance settings in Windows, the preinstalled Lenovo Vantage app offers three different profiles (Battery Saver, Intelligent Cooling, and High Performance) that can be selected either in the app or via the Fn+Q key combination. We used High Performance mode for the following benchmarks and measurements.
Processor - Core i7-1360P
In contrast to the new mobile HX CPUs, not much has changed in the U and P series of the Raptor Lake generation compared to the old Alder Lake models. Apart from a slightly higher maximum clock, the new Core i7-1360P also corresponds to the old Core i7-1260P (4 performance cores & 8 efficiency cores), which we have already seen in our extensive analysis. In the Yoga 9i 14 G8 (as in the predecessor), this operates at up to 64 watts in short bursts and at up to 38 watts constantly, which is why we also have a direct comparison here. So the Yoga 9i 14 should once again be one of the fastest Raptor Lake P notebooks this year, and we also see an 8% lead over the Core i7-1260P in the old Yoga 9i 14 across all of our CPU benchmarks. However, this also means that the new Raptor Lake is only just ahead of the old AMD Ryzen 7 6800U and the small Apple M2 Pro (10 cores) in Cinebench R23 Multi, for example, while the M2 Pro with 12 cores is significantly faster. Only in the single-core tests does Intel still have an advantage, but we'll get to the efficiency in a moment.

* ... smaller is better
We also took a look at the efficiency of the new Raptor Lake Core i7-1360P, whereby the measurement was carried out with an external display in order to remove the influence of the internal display. Since we've already seen that the Core i7-1360P offers slightly more performance than the Core i7-1260P in the old Yoga 9i 14 with identical power limits, the efficiency has also increased slightly, both in the single-core and multi-core tests. However, Intel is still clearly behind last year's AMD Ryzen 7 6800U as well as Apple's current M2 Pro chips here.

Storage Devices
Lenovo again equips the current Yoga 9i 14 with fast PCIe 4.0 SSDs and in our case, the SKhynix PC801 with a storage capacity of 512 GB is used. Transfer rates are very good overall and above all, the drive can easily maintain its performance under prolonged load. After booting for the first time, the user has 420 GB at his/her disposal. More SSD benchmarks are available here.
