Verdict: A great multimedia laptop even in the base version
The new Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16IAH G10 Aura Edition once again comes across as a very good multimedia laptop and is a well-rounded overall package.
The performance is excellent for a multimedia laptop and the RTX 5060 laptop also cuts a fine figure. Advanced Optimus GPU switching is also available.
We will soon be testing whether the surcharge for the RTX 5070 Laptop GPU upgrade is worth it.
The new tandem OLED panel with a brightness of 1,600 nits was the main focus in the run-up to the launch, but the normal 2.8K OLED panel with 120 Hz and a brightness of 1,100 nits also offers outstanding picture quality and is already one of the best screens currently available. Lenovo also provides calibrated profiles for sRGB and P3.
The two fans get very loud in Performance mode, so we would also recommend trying out the Auto mode. Auto mode does not drastically affect gaming performance, but comes with the benefit of significantly quieter fans.

Lenovo has relaunched its high-end Yoga Pro 9i G10 Aura Edition multimedia laptop with — in addition to a redesigned chassis — new OLED screens, Intel Arrow Lake processors, and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 Laptop GPU options.
We tested the base model featuring the Core Ultra 7 255H, a 2.8K OLED with 120 Hz and a peak brightness of 1,100 cd/m², 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, and the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU. This configuration can be had for €2,199 (or €1,939 for the Campus version).
The high-end model with the Core Ultra 9 285H, 64 GB RAM, RTX 5070 Laptop GPU, and a tandem OLED panel with up to 1,600 cd/m² brightness and full Adobe RGB coverage will set you back by €3,129 (€2,899 for the Campus version).
Specifications
Chassis and equipment: Redesigned, premium aluminum build
The Yoga Pro 9i G10 Aura Edition's aluminum chassis design has changed only minimally, but Lenovo has removed the creaky base plate found in the Yoga Pro 9i G9 predecessor. The stability, workmanship, and feel match the high price this time, and the laptop now indubitably feels like a premium device. The Yoga is available in either gray or turquoise color options and the surfaces of our gray model are not particularly susceptible to dirt.
However, the camera housing still doesn't look particularly good. The hinges are well adjusted and allow only minimal rocking (max. opening angle 180°). The bottom cover can be easily removed, but maintenance options limited to the SSDs (a combination of M.2 2242 and M.2 2280 form factors), the fans, and the battery. The RAM and WLAN module are soldered.
The ports have been revised this time, and there are two Thunderbolt 4 ports available, but Lenovo has dispensed with Thunderbolt 5. The Wi-Fi 7 module achieves good transfer rates, and the SD card reader also achieves reasonable transfer rates.
The 5 MP webcam takes decent pictures and comes with an eShutter, IR sensor, and supports Windows Studio Effects. That being said, the Yoga Pro 9i Gen 10 is not a Copilot+ laptop.

Sustainability
The Yoga Pro 9i offers various environmental certifications such as Energy Star 9.0 and EPEAT Gold, but Lenovo does not provide precise information on the CO2 footprint or the use of recycled materials. A maintenance manual is available, and the packaging is fully recyclable.
Input devices: Comfortable 1.5 mm key travel
Nothing has changed with the input devices, as the keyboard with 1.5 mm key travel and two-stage illumination (also controlled via a sensor) still offers a comfortable typing experience.
The large 15 cm x 9.5 cm ClickPad impresses with good gliding properties as well as high-quality and quiet mechanical clicks.
Display: 120 Hz OLED with 1,100 nits
Lenovo offers two different OLED panels. Our base Yoga Pro 9i is equipped with the 2.8K panel (2,880 x 1,600, 16:10) with a 120 Hz refresh rate and DisplayP3 coverage, which offers excellent subjective picture quality.
The colors are vibrant, the content looks sharp, and contrasts are high. The response times are also very fast, but there is PWM flickering. However, the frequency is very high at 1.2 kHz. The glossy surface leads to annoying reflections, particularly outdoors. Lenovo does not install a sensor for brightness or color temperature.
The OLED panel also impresses in our analysis with the professional Calman Ultimate software from Portrait Displays. We measured a maximum of 474 cd/m² brightness in SDR, and the contrast ratio is extremely high. In HDR mode, we noted a maximum of 1,090 cd/m² nits, and even with an almost completely white picture it is still a bright 660 cd/m².
The factory-provided color profiles for P3 and sRGB are already excellently calibrated and thanks to the complete color space coverage, color-sensitive image editing workflows are possible without any problems. We were unable to improve the display any further with our own calibration.

System performance
The Yoga Pro 9i G10 Aura Edition is a fast laptop that processes all inputs without delays and shows no problems in the benchmarks.
There is a brief hang when the dGPU is activated (e.g. when starting a game) due to the Advanced Optimus GPU switching, but this is normal.

GPU performance
Our Yoga Pro 9i 16 G10 is equipped with the new GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop, which is the 100 W version (85 W + 15 W Dynamic Boost) with Advaced Optimus. The GPU performance is very good, even if the Yoga cannot utilize the full potential of the RTX 5060 Laptop.
In the synthetic tests, the RTX 5060 Laptop is also slightly slower than the old RTX 4070 Laptop of the comparison devices. Gaming performance is good overall, and many titles run smoothly even in QHD resolution. The GPU remains completely stable under constant load.

Emissions and Energy: Moderate thermals and good power efficiency
Noise emissions
The two fans start up quite quickly in the Performance mode, so we would recommend one of the lower power modes for simple tasks.
It is also worth trying out the Auto mode when gaming, as the fans remain significantly quieter here (45 vs. 50-52 dB(A)) and the gaming performance is still very good.
There were no other electronic noises emanating from the test device.

Temperature
Lenovo has the surface temperatures well under control. The chassis barely heats up under low load and there are no critical hotspots even in the stress test.
On the underside, temperatures get up to 47 °C in the middle, but you don't actually touch the case here anyway.
During the stress test, the GPU operates at 85 W (77 °C) and the CPU at 45 W (78 °C).
(±) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 42.9 °C / 109 F, compared to the average of 36.9 °C / 98 F, ranging from 21.1 to 71 °C for the class Multimedia.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 47.4 °C / 117 F, compared to the average of 39.2 °C / 103 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 27.1 °C / 81 F, compared to the device average of 31.3 °C / 88 F.
(±) 3: The average temperature for the upper side is 36 °C / 97 F, compared to the average of 31.3 °C / 88 F for the class Multimedia.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are reaching skin temperature as a maximum (32.4 °C / 90.3 F) and are therefore not hot.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.7 °C / 83.7 F (-3.7 °C / -6.6 F).

Energy consumption
Our consumption measurements show no surprises. The Yoga Pro 9i is very efficient in idle mode with a maximum consumption of 11 W.
We briefly measure 176 W in the stress test, which then quickly levels off at around 165 W.
The included 170 W power supply is therefore just sufficient and a 200 W module would have been a better choice.

Battery life
The 84 Wh battery enables decent battery run times, and we notice an improvement compared to the old Yoga Pro 9.
In the WLAN test with 150 cd/m² brightness (61%) and a 60 Hz refresh rate, the Yoga Pro 9i clocks nearly 10 hours of run time and can last just under 7.5 hours at full SDR brightness.
Notebookcheck's overall impressions of the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i G10 Aura Edition
The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16IAH G10 Aura Edition impresses with adequate performance and vibrant OLED display, making it a compelling choice for a multimedia laptop around the €2,000 mark.
