Lenovo Yoga Slim 9i Review Philippines: Form Over Function
Source: Unbox English Archive.org version
The Lenovo Yoga Slim 9i could have been a great premium laptop, thanks to its thin and light design, premium leather lid, color-accurate screen, and robust internals. Unfortunately, the bad keyboard and horrendous glass trackpad make using it a chore, a feeling that you absolutely shouldn’t be feeling after paying top dollar for it. If you’re looking for a premium laptop, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 9i is not it.

A slender, powerful laptop coupled with a vibrant and colour-rich touchscreen display, high-quality speakers, a strong battery life make the Lenovo Yoga Slim 9i versatile proposition.

Lenovo Yoga Slim 9i (14) review – it’s a Yoga! No, it’s an Ideapad… actually, it’s both
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
Well then, this laptop has a lot of strong points, and ultimately a couple of weak ones, which may actually drive some people away. Let’s start with them. First, there is the touchpad. As much as we wanted to like the innovative approach of Lenovo, it just doesn’t work. Well… it works, but it is far less comfortable than a conventional touchpad, that doesn’t use vibration, and is not flushed with the rest of the palm rest. And while it looks cool for the first couple of minutes, it gets smudged up with fingerprints and skin oils very quickly, which leaves marks and looks unpleasant, to be honest.

Lenovo Yoga 9i review: Shadow Black ain't all that
Source: Pocket Lint English Archive.org version
Heaps of great ideas don't all quite come together: the trackpad we just can't get on with, while the 4K screen limits battery life. However, the screen is a very capable panel that really stands out.

86.6% Lenovo Yoga Slim 9i review: Arguably the fastest Evo Laptop | Notebookcheck
Intel's Core i7-1280P makes the Lenovo Yoga Slim 9i the presumably fastest ultrabook of this time. Thanks to the 3K 90 Hz OLED display, low emissions, and high-quality quad speakers, you get a sturdy and nifty laptop.

80% Lenovo Yoga Slim 9i review: a stunning OLED display inside one of the market's best-looking laptops
Source: It Pro English
Lenovo's laptop may not have loads of connectivity, but it impresses elsewhere. It's got one of the best screens you'll find on any lightweight laptop – the OLED panel is crisp, bright and dazzling. The Core i7-1280P processor offers ample power for multi-tasking and content creation, and the keyboard is fast and satisfying. The robust Lenovo looks great, too. There are negatives, though. Battery life is fine but could be better, and the processor didn't always reach its full potential. Some people won't like the shallow keyboard. The pricing situation is tricky, too: at the time of writing it costs £1,113 exc VAT, which is a great price, but its normal price of £1,519 exc VAT makes it more expensive than any rival. Still, there's no denying you're getting a high-quality unit if you do shell out for this machine, and it's always going to be worth the cash if you want a good-looking, all-day laptop with an OLED panel.

80% Lenovo Yoga Slim 9i (Gen 7) review
Source: Tech Advisor English
The Lenovo Yoga Slim 9i has a gorgeous, unique design and pairs it with competitive performance that is suited both for work and for leisure, especially with its powerful speakers and bright, high-quality screen. The sub-standard battery life may be an annoyance to some, as will the lack of physical ports for people who connect multiple devices at once. The touchscreen is also prone to picking up fingerprint marks. Nonetheless, this is overall a great all-round device from Lenovo, and one to consider if you’re looking to make an investment in your next laptop.

80% Lenovo Yoga Slim 9i Gen7 review: one lavish laptop
Source: Stuff TV English
Whether you’re a sucker for styling, expect top-tier performance or want a display worthy of a boxset binge, the Yoga Slim 9i delivers on all three fronts. It’s a brilliantly capable work machine with the screen and speakers to entertain once you clock off. The 28W CPU might actually be overkill in a machine this small, though. It also has a knock-on effect on battery life, which is merely OK. The shallow keyboard will take some getting used to as well. It falls just short of brilliance, and the high price will likely be a turn-off, but still succeeds as an all-rounder you’d be proud to pull out of your laptop bag.

80% Lenovo Slim 9i Review
Source: PC Mag English
The glitzy Lenovo Slim 9i is every inch a premium ultraportable laptop, matching the best in the category ounce for ounce in almost every respect. From the polished metal-and-glass design to the generous port selection and expansive touchpad, it's a laptop that feels well worth the premium price, and it has the performance to match. That said, the battery life, while adequate, falls far short of the 15-plus hours that most laptops in this price range can deliver. It's not enough to erode our four-star recommendation. But if you need the sort of longevity that premium ultraportables routinely offer these days, the Slim 9i's sub-10-hour battery life is a real drawback to an otherwise superb thin-and-light laptop.

The Dell XPS 13 is also another popular comparison. We think the use case is different. The XPS 13 is significantly more compact than the Slim 9i, but that’s because it’s a 13.3” laptop (vs. 14”). The XPS 13 also has less powerful CPU options and does not offer OLED displays. It might be an X1 Carbon Gen10 or X1 Nano competitor instead. We like where Lenovo is going with this product and are generally impressed with the industrial design, build quality, and selected technologies.

90% Lenovo Slim 9i review: Ultra-awesome OLED ultraportable
Source: PC World English
If you have $2,000 or so to throw at an ultraportable, the Slim 9i most certainly deserves a spot on your shortlist. It provides everything on a luxury buyer’s list: a beautiful and thin yet rugged design highlighted by a 3D glass lid that protects a high-resolution OLED display that’s powered by the latest Intel silicon and an ample 32GB of RAM. Its average battery life is still long enough to last through even the longest workdays and is offset by additional attractions including a roomy and comfortable keyboard and touchpad, a 1080p webcam, and jarringly robust audio output from the laptop’s four speakers. The Lenovo Slim 9i is one of our favorite ultraportables of 2022 and easily earns an Editors’ Choice award for its luxurious design, gorgeous OLED display, and strong performance.

Sure, the Lenovo Slim 9i is expensive. But, it provides a premium build that’s second to none, with an aesthetic that’s cohesive and gorgeous, and its performance is class-leading. The laptop will meet the most demanding productivity user’s needs and can serve as a low-end workstation for creators. Battery life isn’t the best, and the keyboard is too shallow, but overall, the Slim 9i lives up to its price. It’s among the best 14-inch clamshell laptops you can buy, rivaling Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 and well above lower-priced options like the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus.

The Yoga Slim 9 14 G10 is Lenovo's shiniest laptop yet in the most literal sense with its reflective 2.5D glass. Its Intel CPU and 32 MP UDC also sound amazing on paper, but webcam aficionados have reasons to be wary.

Lenovo's 10th-generation Yoga Slim 9i is on sale with a starting price of $1,760. I recommend the device for those who don't mind paying a premium for a lightweight laptop with a vibrant touchscreen. Its hardware will allow the 10th-Gen Yoga Slim 9i to be a defining member of its series and stand the test of time. However, you can find other products delivering a similar experience at a slightly cheaper price.

The Lenovo Yoga Slim 9i is a great machine if you want a unique design with an incredible display. It really is a nice piece of hardware. It even delivers very good performance for Lunar Lake. But I’d say that this machine isn’t for most people. Between the almost $2,000 price, low battery life, lack of a headphone jack, skimpy port selection, Lunar Lake’s low multithreaded performance, odd fingerprint sensor position, and so many other issues I’ve mentioned above, this won’t be the right machine for most laptop users.

You won’t find many better-looking laptops, so the Yoga Slim 9i 14 Gen 10 has that going for it right out of the box. It’s highly portable, gets good enough performance, and has a great keyboard.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.

14.00:

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact. 

In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
