Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 G9 laptop review: MiniLED with 1200 nits and Core Ultra 9

The Yoga Pro 9i 16 is Lenovo's best consumer multimedia laptop. With its high-resolution mini LED panel and good performance, it was one of the best multimedia devices in 2023. For the new G9 model, there have been some changes, including an up-to-date Meteor Lake processor from Intel and the switch from a reflective to a matte mini LED panel, which can get extremely bright at up to 1200 nits. The graphics cards are the GeForce RTX 4000 models up to the RTX 4070 Laptop with a 100 watt TGP.
Our test device (with the model number 83DN006HGE) is the high-end variant for EUR 2700 (around $2875) and contains the Core Ultra 9 185H and GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop as well as 32 GB RAM, a 1 TB SSD and the bright mini LED panel. The weaker model with the Core Ultra 7 155H and GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop is available for EUR 2300 ($2450), but the rest of the hardware is identical.

Casing - Aluminum and thin baseplate
The case design remains unchanged from the old model and the aluminum case in dark gray (alternatively in turquoise) looks good, but there is not much of a visual difference to the current IdeaPad Pro 16. The design looks modern; only the large camera hump disturbs the impression somewhat.
In terms of quality, the test device gives a good impression overall. Only the still very thin base plate emits occasional creaking noises. However, the base unit itself is very stable and only the middle area yields slightly when subject to pressure. The screen lid is a little more flexible, but we were unable to elicit any image distortions. The hinges are well adjusted and the maximum opening angle is 180 degrees.
At a weight of just over 2 kg, the Yoga Pro falls in the midfield, but takes up a slightly larger footprint than the new Dell XPS 16, for example. The 170-watt power supply weighs 566 grams.
Equipment - Thunderbolt 4 & HDMI 2.1
While last year's model still had limitations with the HDMI port, a modern HDMI 2.1 port is now on board. Thunderbolt 4 and sufficient USB ports are also available. All video outputs are connected via the iGPU, so the GeForce GPU does not have to run all the time when using an external monitor, which reduces power consumption.
SD card reader
The card reader on the right-hand side offers an average transfer rate of 80-90 MB/s in conjunction with our reference card (Angelbird AV Pro V60). Inserted cards protrude about 1.5 cm from the case.

Communication
The AX211 WLAN module from Intel is soldered and supports WiFi 6E as well as Bluetooth 5.3. We had no issues with WLAN stability in our tests and the transfer rates were very good overall in conjunction with our reference router from Asus. Lenovo does not include a WiFi 7 module.

Webcam
The 5 MP camera offers decent image quality and there is also an IR sensor for facial recognition via Windows Hello. In conjunction with the processor's NPU, certain studio effects (blur, head tracking, etc.) are available directly in Windows and independently of the app. The webcam has an electronic shutter with a button on the right-hand side of the case.

Maintenance
The bottom cover is secured with Torx screws (T5) and is easy to remove. Inside, the layout has changed compared to the old model, partly in order to make space for a larger battery. The RAM and WLAN module are still soldered. There are still two slots for M.2 2280 SSDs and you can both clean the fans and replace the battery (if necessary).
Input devices - 1.5 mm stroke and numpad
The input devices remain unchanged apart from the new Copilot key (instead of the right Ctrl key). The comfortable keyboard offers sufficiently long travel (1.5 mm) and long texts can be typed up without issue. The two-stage white illumination is activated automatically via a sensor.
The size of the clickpad remains unchanged at 15 x 9.5 cm, but Lenovo appears to have taken our criticism on board and revised the mechanics. While the clicks on the old model sounded loud and cheap, the click noises are now much more muffled and make a very high-quality impression. As always, the gliding properties are excellent. Overall, there are absolutely no issues with the usability of the clickpad.
Display - Matte mini LED panel
Lenovo offers various panels for the Yoga Pro 9i 16 G9 and our test device has the matte mini-LED screen with a resolution of 3200 x 2000. The glossy & touchscreen variant, which we tested on the predecessor, is still available. Movements are very fluid thanks to the high refresh rate and colors appear very vivid. Even bright surfaces do not appear grainy despite the matte display. The mini LED panel flickers at a constant frequency of 4800 Hz, which should not be a problem for the vast majority of users. The response times are slightly slower than the old model, but there was no ghosting in everyday use.
The mini LED panel behaves differently than you might expect. In SDR mode, the panel functions like a regular IPS screen and black is not completely black here. The average brightness is a very good 670 cd/m² and the black level is low at 0.22 cd/m², which results in a maximum contrast ratio of just under 3000:1.
Only when HDR mode is activated does the panel switch to local dimming and black is now really black, although there are also visible halo effects with bright objects on dark backgrounds. The maximum HDR brightness is 1230 cd/m², both on small image sections and on an almost completely white image. This is exemplary, but Windows' HDR implementation is still problematic: HDR mode has to be manually activated and it is not suitable for continuous operation, as normal SDR content (such as the Windows desktop) then appears significantly paler than in SDR mode.

* ... smaller is better
We analyzed the panel using professional CalMAN software (X-Rite i1 Pro 2) and we were surprised that the Lenovo Vantage software no longer provides color profiles for the different color spaces. Lenovo still advertises AdobeRGB, but the only profile available is the P3 color space. The reason for this restriction is unclear, but it is definitely annoying. The display is already quite decent out of the box, but we were able to significantly improve picture quality with our own calibration (profile available for free download above).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
Screen flickering / PWM detected | 4840 Hz | ≤ 100 % brightness setting | |
The display backlight flickers at 4840 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 100 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 4840 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8623 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. |
The matte version of the mini LED panel naturally performs better outdoors than the reflective touchscreen. If you avoid reflections from direct light sources, the device can also be used in very bright environments without issue. The viewing angle stability also gives no cause for criticism.
Performance - RTX 4070 Laptop with Advanced Optimus
Lenovo offers the Yoga Pro 9i 16 G9 exclusively with the new Meteor Lake processors from Intel (Core Ultra 7 or 9) and the two GeForce RTX 4060/4070 Laptop models. 32 GB of RAM (LPDDR5x-7467) comes as standard, but the amount of RAM can be doubled to 64 GB for EUR 130 (around $140) when choosing the Core Ultra 9 185H.
Testing conditions
Lenovo offers various energy profiles and we have summarized the corresponding TDP/TGP values in the following table. We carried out the benchmarks and measurements in Performance mode.

Processor - Core Ultra 9 185H
The Core Ultra 9 185H is the successor to the Core i9-13900H and offers 16 cores (22 threads). Compared to the Core Ultra 7 155H, the 185H achieves a higher maximum clock rate of up to 5.1 GHz. Thanks to the high power limits, performance is very good, but you can also see that multi-core performance is only marginally better than the old Raptor Lake chips. On average, the Core Ultra 9 is just 2% ahead of the predecessor's Core i7-13705H in all CPU benchmarks. Performance also remains very stable under sustained load.
In battery mode, the processor can consume a maximum of 80 watts, which is why the performance here is only slightly lower than in mains operation. Further CPU benchmarks are available in our tech section.

System performance
The results in the synthetic benchmarks are good and the Yoga Pro 9i 16 is a very fast device in everyday use. There is only a short delay when switching to the dedicated graphics card, but this is normal for devices with Advanced Optimus. No other problems were detected during system performance testing.

DPC latency
In our standardized latency test (web browsing, 4K YouTube playback, CPU load), our test device with its current BIOS version has no trouble running real-time audio applications. Although one driver struggles a little, the important "interrupt-to-process-latency" value is very low.

Storage devices
Lenovo installed a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD from SK Hynix in our test device, of which 877 GB is available upon starting up for the first time. The benchmark results are only average, but this won't be a problem in everyday use. At least performance remains stable under sustained load. The Yoga Pro also offers a second slot for a PCIe 4.0 SSD. Further SSD benchmarks are listed here.
