Reviews for the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9 16IMH9, RTX 4050

92% Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i review: Close to perfection
Source: PC World
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.

90% Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 Gen 9 review: A near-perfect champ for creators
Source: Laptop Mag
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.

16.00":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
