The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i is one of the top multimedia laptops to release in 2024. The notebook combines a durable aluminum chassis with a comfortable keyboard, Intel Meteor Lake CPUs, Nvidia RTX 40 GPUs, and a stunning Mini LED display. With such high-end specs, the laptop costs quite a bit of money at full retail.
For instance, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i with a Core Ultra 9 185H, an RTX 4060, 32 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of storage will run you back by $1,899.99 at full retail. The same configuration is now on sale at just $1,499.99, the lowest price for the Yoga Pro 9i.
In addition to the RTX 4060 and the Core Ultra 9 185H, the Yoga Pro 9i on sale also packs a 16-inch 3,200 x 2,000 resolution Mini LED touch display with a refresh rate of 165 Hz. Per Lenovo’s claims, the display covers 100% of AdobeRGB color gamut with up to 1,200 nits of max brightness. Our 2023 review unit of the Yoga Pro 9i, which features the same display as the unit on sale, confirms that the laptop’s display falls just shy of the 1,100 nits of brightness in HDR mode and covers 95% AdobeRGB alongside full DCI-P3/sRGB.
So, although the Mini LED panel doesn’t quite live up to Lenovo’s claims, the display is excellent for both media consumption and content creation.
When it comes to CPU performance, the 2024 Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i Gen 9 proved quite snappy in our testing, as the Core Ultra 9 185H was 10% faster than the category average. Moreover, the laptop runs cool and quiet during everyday use.
For the GPU performance, the inclusion of an RTX 4060 laptop GPU should ensure plenty of gaming and content creation performance. Gamers should be able to enjoy AAA titles at FHD at a smooth framerate.
Other areas where the Yoga Pro 9i G9 shines include a healthy port selection with a Thunderbolt 4 connector, upgradable storage thanks to two M.2 2280 slots, and solid speakers.
The laptop really only falters when it comes to battery life at max brightness and soldered RAM. Thankfully, the 32 GB available on the SKU on sale should be more than enough for most people.
Put simply, if you are in the market for a high-end multimedia laptop, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i Gen 9 on sale is an excellent machine that deserves your attention.
