Lenovo is aiming for the crown in the category of 16-inch multimedia laptops with its new Yoga Pro 9i 16. Its trump card is supposed to be the high-resolution and bright mini-LED panel. However, there are unusual weaknesses in the build quality and, in contrast to the 14-inch model, features such as Advanced Optimus are missing.

Lenovo's flagship model and closest MacBook Pro 16 competitor packs a ton of power for the size even at the lower-end configuration. At well over $1500, however, it's also one of Lenovo's pricier Yoga laptops.

This Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 laptop is a pretty good choice if you’re looking for a 16-inch computer for daily use and with some more features for creators. It’s thin and light for what it is, quite powerful and well balanced in overall behavior, plus comes with a beautiful touch display and punchy speakers. At the same time, though, the market for such 16-inch laptops is highly competitive today.

The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i is one of the best mainstream Windows laptops on the market right now. The performance is top notch, whether you’re juggling spreadsheets or getting a few frags in before bed. The battery life is passable; it might be nice to have a bit more longevity, but I like the aggressive performance tuning. The build quality is also solid, with a full aluminum housing with no flex or rattle. I would have preferred a fully rotating screen, but the Yoga Pro 9i gets the traditional laptop form factor right. The screen is easy to open with one hand, and it stays where you leave it even if you move the machine around or pound on the keyboard. Speaking of the keyboard, Lenovo did a good job of making the keys feel spacious even with that full number pad.

If you’re shopping for a laptop that can do a bit of everything, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i is a great choice. It’s not cheap, but that’s because you’re getting premium features, like a 3.2K display, decent battery life, and strong performance. I’m not too happy about the lower-end GPU, but that’s what you get when you’re looking for a laptop to bring premium features in aspects outside of gaming. If you want better performance, configure the Yoga Pro 9i with an RTX 4060. Want more battery life? Go with the Spectre x360. Want more portability? Then the XPS 14 should be your choice. Obviously, if you need access to critical macOS creative tools, go with the MacBook Air. Overall, the Yoga Pro 9i is a solid entry in Lenovo’s portfolio of creator laptops, with just some improvements to the touchpad and speakers it would be a 5-star laptop.

Lenovo continues to refine its flagship laptop for creators and gamers alike, combining Intel's Core Ultra CPUs and NVIDIA's mid-tier GeForce RTX 4060 laptop GPU in a beautiful chassis. Not to be outdone is this machine's amazingly bright mini-LED touch-enabled display. It you can swing its price premium and tolerate less battery life, it's a worthwhile tick on Lenovo's options list. We're also glad to see this machine's excellent flexibility with a broader range of peripherals via the latest HDMI and USB-C connectors. As a whole, the Yoga Pro 9i is a smooth performer when running regular tasks without making nary a fuss or noise. And then there's its GeForce RTX 4060 GPU that really cranks the machine up, turning it into a legitimate editing and gaming rig for the next few years, at least.

The 2024 Lenovo Pro 9i 16’s main attraction is its 16-core Intel Core Ultra 9 185H CPU, which outperforms all other Windows laptops we’ve tested in multi-core performance benchmarks. The bright and crisp mini-LED screen, paired with the six-speaker Dolby Atmos-powered stereo sound, makes the Yoga an excellent choice for entertainment. A larger battery that reaches at least 10 hours of battery life (which we’d still consider average) would have been nice but also might have added to the Yoga’s already solid weight of 4.86 pounds. While the Yoga brand might include expectations for the hinge to fold back a full 360 degrees, the size and weight would make a tablet mode cumbersome. However, with a screen of this size and quality, a tent mode would have been a welcome feature for entertainment purposes.

We praised the MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo for selling a spiffy OLED screen for $1,450. The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i is more expensive at $1,900 but combines a spiffy Mini LED display with a faster Core Ultra 9 CPU and Nvidia GeForce graphics, outpacing laptops that cost half again as much. We would appreciate the laptop even more if it weighed less and its arrow keys were in the proper inverted T instead of a row. Still, its screen, performance, and sound make the ninth Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 an easy Editors' Choice award winner.

This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.
