A:AnswerIt's going to be a lot of small differences that add up. The 7i is slightly thicker and heavier. The speakers on the 9i are slightly better and are on a rotating hinge. The screen on the 9i is slightly brighter. The 9i comes with the pen and a storage spot for the pen. The processor on the 9i is the 1185g7 vs the 1165g7 which has about a 9% performance benefit (i.e. it's slightly better). The battery life is slightly better on the 9i, partially because the ddr4 vs lpddr4 ram on the two laptop's. The 7i is a good laptop. In comparison to the 9i, there are just a bunch of small differences that when taken together may or may not be worth the upgrade.
A:AnswerAnyone that's curious about this its referring to this thread in the Lenovo forum: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Yoga-Series-Notebooks/i9-weak-wi-fi-signal/m-p/5056282?page=2
A:AnswerThe battery life of this pen is terrible. I use it for taking notes in class. It dies within ten to fifteen minutes. Third party pens are not even an option. They have a better battery life, but the writing precision is abysmal. I have had my pen replaced twice and it still did not solve the issue. So do not but this laptop for drawing, sketching, or any other art projects.
