Lenovo - Yoga 9i 14 2-in-1 14" Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Evo Platform Core i7 - 16GB Memory - 512GB SSD - Mica

Had it 4 days, went to a blue screen. Service appointment Monday. Will probably return it.

I love this laptop. I ordered it as soon as it was available and have used it daily for nearly two weeks now. It's fast, sleek, and very light weight. I appreciate that the screen is 14" instead of the 13.3" in competitors like Dell XPS 13 and HP Spectre 13, which gives extra space to open two windows at once. There are a lot of small luxury features that add up - a lid that can be lifted with one finger while the base of the laptop is stable, a long battery life (when battery saver is enabled), a physical webcam shutter, a rechargeable stylus that is housed within the laptop body, a sturdy hinge so the laptop screen doesn't flop around, and a very fast fingerprint scanner that works pretty well even if your finger is slightly damp. I love using the tablet mode with the various free tablet apps available in the Microsoft store for scribbling on PDFs and sketching. The speaker on this laptop is also phenomenal. I also love the various touchpad shortcuts for daily use, such as controlling music/sound by tapping with 4 fingers or scrolling up/down with four fingers and scrolling between apps with 3 fingers side to side.. although this might just be inherent to Windows. There are only a few things that I don't like about this laptop that are negligible when considering the overall product- -My laptop heats up excessively when it's charging... it gets as hot as a hot cup of tea. Therefore I avoid leaving it charging and only plug it it when necessary. If I use battery saver mode, I can listen to music all day and edit PDF files all day with no charge. The other day, I did just that for 4 hours straight and only used up 50% of the battery. -The battery doesn't last 8 hours with more active use, such as with Zoom meetings. However, I probably didn't use battery saver mode when I last was in a meeting so have not taken a controlled measure in this mode. I suggest just keeping the laptop in battery saver mode all the time. It's still very fast. For the record - I have the FHD screen as I read that UHD would have a shorter battery life. -The stylus battery doesn't last super long.. maybe 30 minutes? On the plus side, it seems to charge very quickly. I wish there was some indicator on the task bar that showed the current battery life for the stylus. Still, it's housed in the laptop body which is unique compared to HP Spectre and Dell XPS 13, which was a major reason I picked this laptop. As I said above, these are all negligible things. I'm glad that I picked this laptop. I had previously considered this laptop, the HP Spectre 13, Dell XPS 13, and Razer Book 13/Razer Blade Stealth 13. The Yoga 9i beat out all of them... and I've already recommended it to my friend after two weeks.

I tried different 2-in-1 laptops from different brand, I think this Lenovo 9i has everything I need at a good price. This one has latest intel CPU with very good integrated graphics solution which is comparable to mx350, better than AMD gpu. You can play some 1080p games with decent frame rate. Speaker is excellent, better than most 14 inch laptops, I almost thought sound came from external speakers. This one has FHD touch screen with good brightness (400 nits), perfect for me. I'd recommend not getting a 4K screen at this size, 4k does not help in any way, you have to scale up to be able to see things and 4k screen drains battery quicker. If you need more screen real estate use external monitor. Software: minimum bloatware, remove mcafee and MS office trial, you are all set. The only nit picking might be ports, only has 1 usb and two thunderbolt 4. But it should be enough in most cases. Or spend $30 buying a hub.

I bought this laptop for my son based on the specs sight unseen. He set it up and was "blown away" by its performance. He used it for about a month without incident, but suddenly what seemed like disaster struck: it would not turn on. No matter what the only reaction would be an occasional blinking of the power light for a few seconds. Unplugged it. Help the power button down for 30 seconds. Nada. Some research and I saw where this machine has a reset button. Straightened out a paper clip and held the reset button down for same amount of time. It powered on and has not repeated the incident. Hopefully it was an anomaly. Got an extended warranty so if not will be protected. In my time with the machine I was impressed. Super thin. Boots amazingly quickly. Nice feel to the keyboard. I have a Surface Book 2 and an HP Spectre 360 and frankly I would prefer the Lenovo to the Surface and consider it as comparable to the Spectre, which for me is quite a compliment as I love the Spectre. Gave it 5 starts on the assumption that it was a one time out of box glitch. Other than that, not much not to like, especially at this price.

I've always loved the Yoga line. upgraded from a one from a few years back. This laptop is fantastic. Fast, durable, stable. It's quickly becoming my mobile work horse device. It's light enough that we you use it in tablet mode it doesn't wear out your arms holding it. I have run into 2 issues though. When it goes to sleep and wakes up, the touchpad stops working. Rebooting or removing the device driver and refreshing fixes it, but very annoying. Additionally when watching Full Screen video or gaming in full screen. There appears to be about a 1 inch thick section of the screen from left to right that lags. It's very odd. when I get out of full screen, the video or gaming is fine. Updated all drivers available to download and issue did not go away. But aside from those annoyances I would highly recommend this 2 in 1 device, especially as a reliable, powerful mobile machine. (in the car, meetings, coffee shop, meeting clients, wandering around the house, etc...)

I would recommend and i would repurchase. I am an amateur audio nut, a professional programming and a full time engineer. The laptop specs are right on for almost all the type of rendering I would be looking to do on a laptop. [Audio DAWs, autoCAD, photoshop, Crestron, PyCharm, Visual Studio etc] For a portable unit that is a 2 in 1 it was as fast as I expected, the power supply is not heavy nor is the laptop itself. I was comparing prices vs specs when I stumbled upon this unit. There are other models that have negative feedback but this unit was majority positive across all platforms and outlets. To be fair the one negative is the lack of connectivity on the unit being it only has one(1) USB-A and two(2) usb-C. However this is becoming an industry trend as the push to slim the chassis plus the desire to sell peripherals increases.

This lenovo laptop deserves a 5 star rating. Best buy not so much. First the computer - well built (FAR better than lenovo's I've owned a decade ago), FAST, bright screen, good (great) battery life, and excellent sound. Now - as to BB - FAR more difficult to deal with than my purchase should have been. Was sent to a 2nd store after purchasing in Cedar Park, Tx and then FORCED to wait 30+ minutes for my computer - and - the staff had an attitude in the Georgetown store.

I bought this computer for the owner of our company due to his surface having issues. He, along with the it staff, like this computer so much that we changed his personal laptop out also. Very good machine. We haven’t had any issues with this since it was purchased.
