Customer Ratings & Reviews

Loved this laptop but not what I was looking for. The quality and care was incredible

expensive laptop but hopefully worth it. got it in hopes it will last 4 yrs of college and more. likes how the monitor flips over.

Love my Lenovo, ive always owned HPs, so this was a huge transition for me. Ɓ

Very good. As such as aspected. In one word all rounder.

We used this device a little over a month before reviewing. To be fair the hardware of the Lenovo Yoga 9i is exceptionally good and it's weight/portability is very manageable. The screen is vibrant, the processing speed is also very good for our needs. However, the battery life drags the experience down quite a bit. If I had paid the MSRP, I would have returned within a week. For the price I did pay, I got a very good laptop with a ho-hum battery. I suppose I expected more from Lenovo/Intel/Microsoft regarding battery optimization/utilization. Coming from an older ARM device with literally all day performace, I wouldn't ask for the 9i to match, however, I wanted it to, at the very least, be competitive.

This computer feels solidly built, offers impressive speed, and delivers excellent video quality. However, it seems Lenovo overlooked some key aspects of product testing. Key Issues... Touchpad Sensitivity: The touchpad is overly sensitive. I've lost count of how many times I’ve accidentally opened a window or clicked a link just by moving the cursor. Its large size compounds the problem, making it easy to inadvertently rest a finger or part of your palm on it, which often triggers the four-finger swipe gesture that opens the “view all windows” mode. Unnecessary Buttons: There's a dedicated button for battery performance—why? It's poorly positioned directly below the "delete" key, reducing space for the "backspace" key. As a result, I unintentionally press the battery button about 20 times per hour. Correcting this requires pressing the button twice more to return to standard mode. Bloatware: It's like an all-you-can-eat buffet of bloatware. No, Lenovo, I don’t want to register for updates. No, McAfee, I don’t need your antivirus. And no, I don’t want to sync with countless services. Battery Life: Best Buy claims up to 10.5 hours of battery life, but in real-world use, it barely lasts 5 hours. Despite these frustrations, the computer’s overall build and performance suggest it has great potential. However, these issues highlight areas where Lenovo could significantly improve the user experience.

I’ve been using this Lenovo laptop for a while, and overall it has been a great experience. The setup was quick, the performance is fast, and it handles multitasking smoothly. The screen is bright and sharp, and the keyboard is comfortable for long typing sessions. Battery life also lasts me through most of the day, which is a big plus. One small drawback is the mouse/trackpad—it works fine, but the clicking feels a little stiff and not as smooth as I’d like. It’s not a dealbreaker, but something to get used to. Overall, this laptop is reliable, lightweight, and a good value for the price. I’d recommend it for anyone who needs a dependable laptop for work, school, or everyday use.

I've had this laptop going on two months at this point and have been using it as my daily Windows computing device. It's a mixed bag overall. If you can pick it up on sale for $1,149.99, it's a decent buy - but certainly not at full price, look for other options if you're going to spend that much (for this reason alone, I'm choosing "no" in terms of recommending). My assumption is this model will be discontinued soon since the Intel Ultra Series 2 systems are now out. Pros: - The OLED display is fantastic, it's capable of 120Hz which is a big plus (NOTE: the display does not support dynamic refresh rate, it must be changed manually in Windows display settings) - The keyboard has a good amount of travel and good feedback - The chassis is thin and light - weighing just slightly more than a MacBook Air but with a bigger, much higher quality screen - Port selection is good considering the thin chassis - it has USB-C ports on both sides for greater flexibility - Wi-Fi 6E 6Ghz performance is very good - The Lenovo soundbar hinge is above average (though it still doesn't come close my MacBook Pro M3 Pro, but so far, no other laptop I've used does) - Windows Hello facial recognition is spot on - 2 in 1 design is useful should the mood strike Average: - Performance is sometimes noticeably slow when running on battery (launching apps sometimes takes much longer than expected for example - to the point you wonder if you didn't actually launch the app) - The touchpad is large and serviceable, but not the most responsive I've used (again, it can't beat the MacBook Pro) - The laptop doesn't always immediately recognize my Dell Thunderbolt 4 display. It generally works, but I sometimes have to unplug/re-plug a couple times for it to pick it up (I have multiple other systems that have no issue in this regard) - The Lenovo Vantage app has a few useful bits (installing BIOS and software updates for example), but it's largely bloatware. By default, it runs 15 scheduled tasks in the background, which is unnecessary - Presence detection generally works well, but it occasionally fails to wake/detect/login via facial recognition - The included pen works, but it's basic and not comfortable in hand Cons: - The fan kicks on frequently while browsing and performing low demand tasks on battery. When plugged in using the Balanced Power Mode, the fan runs constantly. To me, this indicates the Intel Core Ultra 7 is constrained in the thin and light chassis - To get passable battery life of 8 to 9 hours, Windows power settings must be set to "Best Power Efficiency" - The laptop is a fingerprint magnet - true for both the exterior and the palm rest One glaring issue I ran into: there is no provision in the BIOS to clear fingerprint reader registrations. I initially registered one fingerprint when I first purchased using the factory installed OS. Through my testing, I installed and re-installed several preview versions of Windows 11 24H2. Upon the first clean OS install, I discovered I couldn't register the same fingerprint I initially registered, but could register other fingerprints. I checked the BIOS and there is no specific option to clear fingerprint registrations. Clearing the TPM from within Windows and from within the BIOS didn't work either. I then submitted a ticket with Lenovo Support - their response was to return the laptop and the case was immediately closed. This is not a solution at all and I was one day past the return period at that point. Thankfully Windows Hello facial recognition works well, so it's not the end of the world, but definitely keep this in mind if you plan to test OS pre-release versions. I realize this won't affect all users, but it's something to keep in mind if you ever need to perform a clean OS install in the future. Conclusion: Again, it's a decent buy if you can find it on sale. Beware of the quirks and limitations described above.

The battery drain is very prominent. I had the system ON while I was working on my work laptop. Absolutely nothing playing or running (not on performance mode too) to see how much battery I will get. Trust me, in 3hrs I saw the battery go down 60% while doing nothing. I thought the spec is good enough to see some decent speed while opening and closing apps but my 7 year old hp Spectre x360 performs almost at the same level. The extra set of buttons on the right extreme does get annoying a lot as you will keep hitting the fingerprint button instead of the arrow keys. If you are a slow typer who looks at the keyboard for every stroke, this laptop should be fine. A huge fingerprint magnet! Not just the outer body, but also on the track pad. Check the stylus. It's the new slim pen. There are some drivers and apps that you need to install to make it work. Does not start working out of the box. At least mine did not. Build quality is good compared to Asus. Not flimsy. But with the Intel Ultra 7 processor, I was expecting something better. Total disappointment.

I love the sleek design of the YOGA Lenovo. It fits beautifully in my bag and it isn't too heavy so it's easy to take along on trips. I also love the vibrant colors of the display screen and it runs really quickly.

The laptop is pretty but pretty useless for actually doing anything. Lenovo's pen, that comes with the device, is uncomfortable and drivers must be manually installed. Pen input is really bad compared with a Surface pen and lags. Memory is almost completely used by running the lenovo bloatware and Edge. Opening the screen feels like its about to break the screen due to the flex of the screen. Heats up rapidly. Memory not upgradable. The biggest pro is that it looks more like a tablet but sadly probably less functional than one. Screen quality is nice but the battery life is a joke.

There are several things I really love about this laptop and I have been researching and trying several others before I landed here. I wanted the Zenbook to work for me but no matter what I did it kept crashing during very light gaming like age of empires 3 DE. I wanted something that was fast, Lightweight had decent battery life but also had a brilliant screen and that looked and felt good too. I tried the HP Spectre, but it just seemed so much heavier even though it’s within .3 pounds. I don’t utilize the two in one screen as I have an iPad Pro and an iPad mini six if I need a tablet, but I guess it doesn’t hurt anything having that capability. I’ve had zero issues with gaming and the 16 GB is sufficient enough for me as if I want to do heavy gaming I have an omen desktop with a 4090. I’ve also looked at the Dell XPS series thoroughly, but that doesn’t seem to have near the battery life I would like. I am typically pretty close to a charger anyway throughout the house, but I don’t want to be checking the battery when I am just browsing the web on the couch and see it go down 10 to 15% every 20 minutes. Ultimately this device does exactly what I need and works perfect for me and I love the look feel weight and everything else about it.

I’m beyond impressed with the Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1! The Cosmic Blue finish is absolutely stunning—sleek, modern, and premium-feeling right out of the box. The 2.8K OLED touchscreen is vibrant and sharp, making everything from watching movies to editing photos a visually rich experience. Performance-wise, the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H paired with 16GB of RAM handles multitasking effortlessly. Whether I’m running creative software, working remotely, or just browsing, everything is fast and smooth. The 1TB SSD provides plenty of storage and lightning-fast load times. The 2-in-1 flexibility is a huge plus. Tablet mode is great for reading or note-taking (the included pen works flawlessly), and tent mode is perfect for streaming or presentations. Battery life has also been solid, easily getting me through a full day of work. Best Buy’s delivery was spot-on. My laptop arrived on time, well-packaged, and in perfect condition. Setup was a breeze, and I was up and running in no time. Overall, the Yoga 9i is an outstanding premium laptop for professionals, students, or creatives who want power and versatility in a compact, beautiful package. Highly recommended!

This is one of the best looking laptop I’ve seen from Lenovo. I absolutely love the design of the hinge, and the cosmic blue color way. The amazing OLED panel is fantastic for watching movies, plus that buttery smooth 120hz refresh rate makes this a very worthwhile purchase. However, there are some flaws that must be discussed before I can say this is a perfect laptop. 1/ Laggy input: for some odd reason this laptop is quite laggy, even for content consumption. The scrolling lags a lot, which makes the laptop less smooth even with that 120hz refresh rate. This is noticeable even when plugged in, so do expect this when you use the laptop. 2/ Battery life: even with intel telling you you’re getting great battery life, do keep in mind that this is running an Ultra 7 series 1 processor which is not that well-optimized for lower power consumption. This means you should not expect a full day or even half day of battery on this laptop. Brings your charger around with you. 3/ No gpu: this is running an egpu, therefore if you are using a program that needs a dedicated GPU (my case: Solidworks). Do expect it to crash midway, sometimes not even work. This is design for office work, for people who do similar things to that; this is not for gamers, or engineers to use for CADing. Overall, I recommend this laptop to anyone who wants a premium laptop with a beautiful display, great sound quality without caring too much on the GPU. If you do a lot of heavy tasks that require a GPU, the lenovo yoga pro 9i is what you should be looking at.

I like the sleek look of the laptop. Light and quick and can handle stuff I run. I am a Industrial and Systems engineering student for reference. The only thing I would dislike about this laptop is it's stability when it comes to taking notes on it with the keyboard flat on a surface and the screen up.

The Lenovo Yoga 9i 2‑in‑1 14″ with 2.8K OLED Touchscreen delivers a stellar experience in every way. The stunning OLED display is crisp, vibrant, and incredibly responsive to touch—perfect for creative work, streaming, or productivity. The laptop is a delight to use in all modes: laptop, tablet, tent, and presentation. It feels premium but is surprisingly light and portable. Performance-wise, it’s snappy and smooth even under heavy workloads. Battery life is impressive for such a bright screen and powerful internals. Whether for work, media, or multitasking, the Yoga 9i impresses on every scale. Highly recommended!

I love many things about this laptop. My only complaint is the battery life. It will only last me through my 8-hour workday if it is on best power efficiency mode. I love that it is lightweight, that the screen gets as dim as I like it to, that the camera has a slide cover, and that there is a USB-A as well as USB-C ports on both sides. The fingerprint unlock is unreliable and the column of keys on the right side are more of a nuisance than they are useful. Ultimately I liked the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x Copilot+ PC better, but I needed something without generative AI due to my line of work.

Very good laptop, amazing display, very light weight and portable, overall an amazing laptop for everyday use!

Beautiful. Lightweight. Sleek. It’s been just under a month but so far I’m happy with my purchase. I was worried about the battery life and the computer overheating but if you set up power settings accordingly then you can prevent that. Besides a few small things like no hdmi port and some of the keyboard keys are different from my previous laptop, it’s a great buy.

So far I'm very satisfied! It's working fast and well, battery is good and screen quality is great!
