WhileHPs Elite x360 2-in-1laptopwould wear a bowler hat if it could, the Yoga 9i is a free spirit.
Lets start with the 14inOLEDpanel.
The Yoga 9i is encased in a slim, dark blue metal chassis
Lenovoincludes its Slim Penstylus, which magnetically attaches to the top of the lid.
During benchmarking I opted for Lenovos high-performance mode, but dont get too excited.
Likewise a multicore result of 816 in Cinebench 2024.
This is by no means a bad laptop, but others offer better value
Thats thanks to a pair of 2W woofers in the base.
Unlike the ThinkPad T14s (see p56), the Yoga 9i isnt designed for easy maintenance.
Or it was, until Snapdragon-based chips almost doubled my expectations.
Lenovo is throwing in a couple of sweeteners.
Still, Im not convinced thats bargain enough.
We also rated the best gaming PCs.
Colors pop when watching films or playing games
What is a hands on review?
