‘Beefy’ Laptop Held Back by Touchpad Issues

I got this laptop for my son he really loves the Lenovo Yoga 9i Aura Edition’s amazing screen and vivid speakers. It feels like a premium laptop and handles everything he needs for school. But he struggles with the touchpad as it has a major issue it randomly freezes or clicks on its own. The only way to fixing the issue is switching to touchscreen mode to reset the mouse. For a $1600 laptop, that’s disappointing, but overall he still calls it a ‘beefy beast.’

I recently purchased the Lenovo Yoga Aurora Edition from Best Buy, and it has exceeded my expectations in almost every way. From the moment I powered it on, I immediately noticed how fast and responsive it is. The performance is smooth, whether I’m multitasking, streaming, or working on productivity apps.
The 2‑in‑1 design is one of my favorite features. Switching between laptop and tablet mode feels effortless, and the hinge is sturdy without being stiff. The touchscreen is bright, sharp, and extremely responsive, which makes browsing, note‑taking, and creative tasks feel natural.
Battery life has also been impressive. I’m able to get through most of my day without having to recharge, which is a huge plus when I’m on the go. The overall build quality feels premium—lightweight enough to carry around, but solid enough that it feels durable.
Best Buy made the purchase process easy, and the device was ready for pickup quickly. The staff was helpful and made sure everything was smooth from start to finish.
Overall, I’m very happy with the Lenovo Yoga Aurora Edition. It’s powerful, flexible, and reliable—perfect for both work and personal use. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a high‑quality 2‑in‑1 laptop.

The Lenovo Yoga 9 Aura Edition is the worst laptop I’ve ever had. I spent around $1,700 and it cannot load google chrome tabs at all. I use this laptop for business and whenever I open my laptop it stays frozen for thirty minutes or displays a page unresponsive alert. Please refund me.

I have had this device for a little over a month now and use it nearly daily. I was drawn to this device based on the 2-in-1 functionality and the amount of RAM that it had in it, as I do some fairly extensive Spreadsheet work that requires the extra RAM. Lenovo certainly did not disappoint! The performance of this device out of the box is unmatched, and I'm still blown away at how quickly it boots up and how quickly I'm able to get onto it and begin working. I find that it's lightweight, has amazing battery life, and has a keyboard and mouse touchpad that are pleasant to use. My only regret is not purchasing this laptop sooner!

Premium laptop that is efficient and premium

Have not purchased a laptop in a long time due to poor battery life. Checked recent reviews and was surprised how efficient the newer chips are. While the snapdragons does seem to have a slight advantage on power and efficiency it also comes with compatibility issues that I would rather not deal with.
The two premium portable laptops that caught my attention was this one and the ASUS zenbook S 14. Both have very similar specs with great battery life. I ended up getting this one due to pricing/availability at the time. Apparently this fluctuates quite a bit so if you are set on one then I would wait a bit until the prices comes down.
In my opinion the ASUS wins in design as it has a more premium touch and feel due to the ceraluminum and also being even super light at 2.6 lbs. Where this Lenovo wins is the fact that even though it is slightly heavier 2.9 lbs it is a 2 in 1 which makes it a bit more versatile. I use it alot in bed watching videos and having it in tent mode takes up a lot less space. The screen is also brighter, but I still have not been in a situation where it is needed yet. The Sound quality is pretty good, I heard the previous gen (9) with the same design but bang olufsen speakers sounds amazing, i don't have one to compare it with but this is a bit of a let down knowing its been downgraded.
Overall this is a great laptop as long as you are not trying to do any heavy lifting. I applaud Intel(TSMC) for making this possible.

This is a really fun computer. It's quiet, sleek, and really great for basic tasks and media. A great screen, speakers, and an iGPU good enough for light gaming. Battery life is fantastic, it's very portable, and it feels very well-made.
Biggest issue with it is that the keyboard layout is non-standard, and this was significant enough for me to return it. I thought I'd get used to the extra row of keys, but after a month trying to adapt, I kept on hitting the wrong key.
Also, the fingerprint sensor barely works, and one function key launches software that isn't even supported anymore. If that layout doesn't bother you, it's definitely worth the sale price. I purchased it for $1100 open box, and that is far more reasonable than the regular price.

I just got my new Lenovo Aura Edition, and I love it! It’s super fast, looks amazing, and runs so smoothly. The screen is bright and clear, and everything just feels really high quality. I’ve been using it for work, games, and videos, and it handles everything with no problem. Honestly, I’m so happy with this computer. Totally worth it!

This is a really well rounded laptop. I can do a ton of things. It's light weight, has great battery life and it's very attractive. I wouldn't buy this as a dedicated gaming laptop, though it can handle a ton, but for all business applications, AI, programming and the like. Graphics, arts and drawing are also strong suits for this laptop.

This laptop is awesome! It's very quick, has a great keyboard, and amazing battery life. I compared this keyboard to the HP Omnibook X Flip and although the screen was much bigger, the speaker and keyboard quality was not as good as this Lenovo. I love that when watching Netflix shows with Dolby Vision, the screen automatically switched to Dolby Vision HDR mode and produces a much brighter and vibrant picture than the standard screen mode. You can also charge the laptop on either side with the Type C cable.

AMAZING KEYBOARD, SCREEN, AND SPEAKERS

Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The short story:
If you're contemplating buying this over another windows machine or a MacBook Air, buy this.
Why?
Lenovo laptops in general have great keyboards, but in the era of low travel mushy keys; this one sticks out on the 9i Aura, it is very tactile and has amazing travel. It's also not loud or "clicky" sounding like apple laptops or other laptops with low travel keyboards.
Seriously, this is probably one of the best laptop keyboards I've typed on, and I've had many laptops. Lenovo's really bringing their expertise from ThinkPads into the consumer area and I'm totally here from it. Oh, I forgot to mention Lenovo's signature smile shaped keys are here too, so it makes it easy to press the right key when typing fast.
The trackpad is big, but it's nothing fancy. Not haptic either which is a bummer; but it does have a nice click, not cheap feeling at all.
The speakers and display are probably where the device shines the most; alongside the keyboard of course:
Unlike other OLED displays from HP and Dell, this one does not struggle in direct sunlight. Colors pop, contrast is great, and the pen is another great tool for students and creative types. It also has a high 144 HZ refresh rate with an optional dynamic mode where the display can adapt it's refresh rate to save on power when needed.
I did not notice a screen-door effect that other OLED displays from HP and Dell seem to have when white content is on the screen. Also, it's comfortable to look at with no PWM flickering (It's EyeSafe certified)
Speakers are DolbyAtmos tuned and support spatial audio. They are AMAZING. Lenovo also put in a soundbar beneath the screen that rotates with the display the full 360 degrees, so you have the great sound in all use modes. This is something only Lenovo does to my knowledge. The OmniBook Ultra Flip has bottom-firing speakers, so that 2-in-1 as a tablet, the speakers are blocked by the screen; that was ultimately what lead me to the 9i Aura
I knew the speakers were good, but I was still shocked when I first heard them out of the box.
No distortion even at the highest volume, bass is amazing but not overly dramatic and blown out like other laptops can be
Battery life is amazing, it also supports Lenovo's fast charging technology which is great for power users who need to charge up quickly. I'm getting about 12-14 hours. Intel's really doing a lot here for improved efficiency here, and it shows in these Aura branded laptops from Lenovo.
I'm a student and having a 2-in-1 has made it very easy to summarize notes. The pen is great: easy to hold, matching blue color, which by the way, is stunning on both the laptop and pen; The pen attaches magnetically to the lid with a strong hold, it stays attached even in my backpack, so no need to dig through your bag to find it.
Also, the device pairs with both iPhones and Android phones via either Intel Unison or Phone Link, the latter of which comes installed out of the box.
Since this is an Aura Edition branded laptop, If you use intel unison, you can transfer photos by tapping the side of your phone on the side of the screen, it's that easy. No more emailing files to yourself either, file transfer works in seconds too. Mind you, I'm and iPhone user and have has no issues with the integration.
The price is the main drawback:
Laptops have gotten expensive due to recent events, but in my opinion buying this SKU on sale is a great buy.
Even if you buy this at full MSRP, you're getting 32GB of RAM, 1TB of storage, absolutely amazing speakers, and great battery life too.

A very good 2-in-1, but has room for improvement.

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Having owned a 2019 HP Spectre x360 2-in-1, I had a good idea of what I needed and what I wanted in its replacement. The 4k OLED display, speakers, backlit keyboard, and port selection on the HP were great, but the Intel Core i7-8565U and Nvidia MX150 combo were less than stellar, heat and fan noise were not great, and the 15.5” laptop was a bit heavy. Worse were the infamous weak hinges the HP engineers thought would be good enough; I had to resort to epoxy to hold everything together.
Fast forward to 2025 and I saw that HP is still using the same lame hinges on their OmniBook Ultra Flip (hard pass) and they don’t include a USB-A port (also a hard pass). Looking on, the Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition caught my eye and I saw that Best Buy had an open-box in excellent condition for $600 under retail. I was a little nervous that it would not really be in excellent condition, but my fears were unfounded. FedEx delivered a like-new laptop with all the original packaging and the OEM pen and charger.
Pros:
• The 2.8K OLED display is stunning! Very bright with great color and inky blacks.
• Speaker are reasonably loud and have good sound (at least compared to most ultra portables). Apple does a bit better, but I’m no fan of MacOS.
• 32GB RAM is more than enough for my current and likely future needs. This is good because modern Intel processors are system-on-a-chip designs that cannot be upgraded.
• Nice backlit keyboard with good feel.
• Lenovo understands that the USB-A port is not dead yet.
• The Intel Core Ultra 7 258V with ARC 140V graphics strikes a great balance between power and efficiency. Batery life is very good, fan noise is rarely noticeable, and mild heat is only an issue under heavy tasks. I also like that performance on battey seems to be comparable to when it’s plugged-in.
• Very light weight makes using it in the various 2-in-1 configurations a pleasure, and travelling with it is a breeze.
• I like the rounded edges that do not bite into my palms, and I find the thin blue case attractive.
Cons:
• A premium 2025 laptop should have a haptic touchpad. The Lenovo’s mechanical touchpad is marginal at best. This is just a cost cutting measure as the HP’s trackpad is haptic.
• No HDMI port. It’s annoying that I need a converter cable or dock to use it with my external monitors.
• Power button on the side of the case is way too easy to inadvertently press. I had to disable it in settings to keep from accidentally putting the computer to sleep.
• WiFi card is soldered onto the motherboard (not upgradable).
• LOTS of bloatware, and Lenovo tries very hard to sell you subscriptions packaged as free trials. Please stop including McAfee, it’s worse than the viruses it’s designed to fight.
• If fingerprints and screen reflections drive you crazy, you won’t like the satin case finish or the glossy OLED panel.
Conclusion:
Despite the cons, I very much recommend this laptop. Most of the cons are concessions to make a 2-in-1 as light and compact as possible. A note about pricing: I recommend only buying when deeply discounted as full MSRP is WAY too high for a laptop that has room for improvement, and sales seem to happen every couple of weeks. Buying an open-box worked out great for me, but your mileage my vary.
