Customer Ratings & Reviews

TLDR: It's a great laptop. The drawing experience is wonderful, the pen has been vastly improved. You'd think the chipset is the only major update, but they've made a lot of little tweaks that truly makes this one of the best machines you can buy at the moment. The pros: It's beautiful. I love the blue. Blue isn't for everyone, but it beats the greys and blacks of other laptops. Lenovo always makes great keyboards. For me it's more comfortable than any Dell XPS keyboards. The keyboard being shifted over for the extra 'special' keys are hit or miss. You never hear reviews of the F-row keys, but Lenovo does a good job on those as well. I've never needed a dedicated play/pause button, as the spacebar works just as well. Extra keys are redundant. The screen is great. I like that we get the 32gb combination with the 120 hertz refresh rates. The 4k screen slowed down performance in the last iteration of this laptop. The sound bar is second to few. I like that it's clear but also facing you. It's loud almost to a fault. It's good that it gets loud and punchy, but if I want it quieter at night when I'm browsing video clips, I want a space just between low volume and silent, so I don't wake anyone else up around me. There are so many other laptops where I want more, only to realize it's already up all the way. That is not the case with this laptop. The large single hinge also gives me peace of mind, most other 2-in-1's have two smaller hinges on the side. They have issues, where people believe their laptops are named after those H.inge P.roblems. I like that in the display models of Lenovo 2-in-1s, you can gently shake it, and generally the monitor stays put better than most. I like the 14in form factor. I miss the 12 and 13inch laptops, but it's not for everyone, 14 is the sweeter spot, I guess for most people. I don't understand why 2-in-1s come in 16in models. It becomes too big and heavy, especially in tablet mode. Speaking of which, a true star of this tablet; the pen! Oh how it's been improved. If you want a casual drawing tablet, this may be it. The palm rejection has been pushed up. The smoothness is wonderful, especially compared to it's previous iterations. Drawing is now a joy on this laptop. It's better than the Surface Pro, which used to be the high standard for drawing laptop. Speaking of the Surface Pro, here I go comparing it to other similar laptops: The Surface Pro could be better. Mainly I wish the 32gb versions were more readily available. I wanted to like it more, but it always seemed to fall short. I'd open that one last extra tab in Chrome and instantly regret it. I don't hate the form factor of the Surface Pro, but the Snapdragon Elite chip falls short in compatibility issues. With updates, it's gotten to 90% not an issue, but if you use anything on that 10%, it becomes frustrating. Also, battery life leaves so much to be desired. It's better, but not great. So in those regards, this is the better choice. The next in line is the Asus PX13. This is why I struggle with Intel. The PX13 has a chip that is almost a year old, and it still beats Intel's newest chipsets in most benchmarks. Especially when it matters. It's probably not fair, since the PX13 uses AMD's HX370, which is meant to rival intel's i9, not the i7 in this laptop, but I wish benchmarks were closer, considering the age difference between the two chipsets. Ultimately, if you're using a laptop for heavier workloads, the px13 may be for you. With that being said, the palm rejection when drawing on ASUS laptops with a pen has always been a miss. It makes no sense since the series is called "ProArt". Also, at the end of the day, you have the 60hz refresh on the Asus and the 120hz on this Aura Edition laptop. It makes a difference when doing graphic work. Also, the wifi card in the Px13 kinda suck. For one reason or another, wifi7 cards don't like AMD laptops. I wanted to swap out it out to get a better bluetooth connection (the wifi and bluetoosh upgrade is one in the same) my choices seem limited. Samsung makes for a great argument in their pro 360 lines when it comes to pen support. As far as Windows pens-in an all one package goes, no one beats the S-pen. Unfortunately, you have a heavily Samsung skinned version of windows, which is fine tuned, but heavier than most laptops in a similar configuration. Also they don't make anything with 32gb. On top of that, the 16in screen feels massive in tablet mode, but the screen is also too heavy for drawing in canvas mode. Of course, then there is the HP Omnibook flip. What can I say? HP. You'll have those HPs. When I say HP, i mean Hinge Problems. I just have little confidence in HP laptops, especially in the long run. I've never played around floor models and felt confident about them in the long run. Granted sales floor models go through a bit more abuse than a laptop you'd take home with you, HP models always seem more 'abused' than it's competitors. Perhaps its just me. Also, the Yoga 9i comes with a pen. Neither the ProArt Px13 nor Omnibooks come with a pen included. Windows surface pens work with both, Lenovo and Dell use a different pen protocol. All that being said, I wish Intel chips were better than they currently are. They are great for adaptability. You won't have the compatibility issues that Snapdragons have. I wish it put more pressure on AMD when it comes to performance, but when it comes to the 2-in-1 form factors I like, my options seem limited through Best Buy. Here is the other issue; Intel is playing the confusing naming and numbering game that I don't like. This laptop is using the "V" model chip, which before used to be the "U" series. Previous versions of the Yoga 9i's used the "H" series of Intel chips. The "H" series was more performance forward, while the "U" series scarified performance for battery life. I personally prefer performance over battery life. There used to be a larger gap between plugging it in vs battery life when it came to performance, and Intel seems to have closed that gap somewhat. In order to make up for that battery life, Intel has also tweaked apps. Imagine a car telling you it gets great gas mileage, but you later find out it's not as good if you put in the seats. Intel played a similar trick. Some of these tweaks I don't mind, some of them I had to change in settings. I know things can only get better with driver updates, so I am hopeful on things to come. For now the whole re-naming/re-numbering scheme is something I am not a huge fan of. All that being said, once I got this laptop to where I wanted it, it has been an absolute joy, especially once I removed McAfee. No one needs McAfee, no own wants McAfee. There's a chance I'm removing a full star for McAfee, with only part of the complaints coming from the aforementioned Intel things. Honestly, Windows security does well enough on its own. This laptop does exactly what I need with (almost) the right amount of power. I don't know why the keyboard is so much bigger than the screen, but that may be me nitpicking. It's nice and lightweight, and built like a tank. Not sure how laptops shopping will be the next few years, but if you hate MacOS like me, this will be a great laptop for most people.

This is an excellent 2 in 1 laptop. I replaced a Lenovo Yoga that I had for years. I had been looking for a while and was forced to commit when my last computer had an issue. No regrets because I am BEYOND happy with the purchase. The graphics are amazing, the computer is fast, and it the battery life if very good. I haven't had the opportunity to use all of the various functions because I've only had the computer a few weeks. Nevertheless, what I have use hasn't disappointed. My daughter described this comouter as "beautiful." The one annoyance is that is smudges very easily. Keep a microfiber cloth available.

I love this computer for engineering in college it is powerful enough to run all my programs and is super sleek and not super heavy easy to carry to class.

Works as expected. I got open box and everything is great, just like new. Comes with Lenovo's warranty! I upgraded mine from Lenovo's site. Things to consider: when it is in tablet form, your hands press against the keys on the back and it's just a awkward. The high gloss screen is obviously highly reflective. It bothered me for a couple of days; I don't even notice anymore. I think the speakers sound a little hollow/tin-can, but it's also just a small complaint there. Keys have a lovely, soft click-clack sound. I would not get the dark blue, it shows every speck of dust and fingerprint smudge. The pen lasts forever without charge. I am anxious that I might misplace the pen, but so far, everything is going well.

Compact. Lightweight. Clear screen. Love this laptop!

Excellent laptop. Great processing power and overall design. Sleek look and functional keyboard layout

Bought it for class and I love to have a million tabs open. This thing handles it all. Love the copilot feature for those tough questions. Display is nice and vivid but you can turn on the warmer tone at night to protect your eyes. Keyboard lights up which is perfect for late night assignments. 10/10

Excellent laptop. Doubles down as ipad with a pencil that can be used to write. The processor and ram are great. The laptop is very light and easy to carry. The color is also very catchy.

I bought the Lenovo Yoga 9i (Aura Edition) on 10/22/2025 at the Patchogue store, and I’m very happy with it. The 3K OLED touchscreen is stunning, the Intel Core Ultra 7 with 32GB RAM is super fast, and the 2-in-1 design is lightweight and elegant. Perfect for work and school. Highly recommended!

The Lenovo Slim 9i Aura is a stunning fusion of luxury and performance. Its sleek aluminum-glass design, dazzling 3K OLED display, and whisper-quiet operation make it feel truly premium. The Copilot+ AI features enhance productivity, while the responsive keyboard and long battery life deliver a refined, intelligent experience — elegant, efficient, and effortlessly modern.

I recently purchased a Lenovo Yoga with 2 screens and I can't say enough good things about it. It is amazing!, It is light - very compact yet has a big computer feel due to the 2 screens. The care that went into the packaging and the ingenuity of the design is worth the extra dollars. Since i have only had it for 2 weeks, I am still learning of its capabilities. Unfortunately since it is sooo new I could not find any tips/tricks on You Tube so that is my only complaint. There is no instructions with the laptop and even the QR code did not help. It has a lot of cababilities and I wish they would include a link to a video. Maybe there is one out there that I am unaware of. If anyone knows of it please reply. Most of you out there are more savy and probably do not need it but it would help us baby boomers.

After too much research into a replacement for my aging laptop, purchased in 2018, I decided on the Yoga 9i 2-in-1. I am impressed with the performance, screen quality, and port selection. This is a quality machine that easily handles my typical workflow!

Build quality is great for a windows device, very efficient with an all day battery life. Trackpad is serviceable but not the greatest experience, needs a haptic trackpad at this price point. Oled display is great but when using adaptive refresh rate it can get a little buggy which is a windows 11 issue. Included Pen is cheap but functional. The two and one functionality is ok but not as comfortable as a tablet as the device is still a bit to heavy to hold in one hand. Ultimately ended up returning the device due to my better experience with MacBooks and iPads. The device is Great for a windows user but alright for a Mac user.

Overall, Lenovo did a great job and they are the clear leader in 2in1's, but there are minor annoyances. For general use, occasional photo editing, and rare video editing, this is a great laptop. The Ultra 7 processor with 32GB is really all you need for many years to come. The Arc140V integrated graphics is basically equivalent to the Nvidia 980M discrete graphics from 10 years ago, which is great for such a low power and lightweight device. A standout feature of this laptop is the connectivity options. It features two TB4/USB4 ports (40Gpbs), one USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 port (20Gbps), one USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps), and the mic/headphone jack. The TB4/USB4 ports are the real deal, and even support USB3.2 Gen 2x2 (20Gbps) which is not common at all. The majority of implementations with TB4/USB4 its either 40Gbps or 10Gbps or less. You don't get that two lane 20Gbps support. These do support it which is a huge plus, being that the majority of fast portable storage currently on the market from Sandisk, Lexar, Samsung, Crucial, etc., are USB3.2 Gen 2x2 (20Gbps). I do wish 2TB internal NVME was available, but the 1TB that is installed seems to be fairly good clocking in at about 6900MB/s reads and writes. Screen is absolutely beautiful, and the sound is superb. I find the keyboard to be just about the best I have ever tested in a laptop, and the trackpad is great. You hear a lot of reviewers praise other laptops but generally find this one kind of meh. Yeah, no. Try them for yourself. Lenovo nailed it on this one. While not the absolute lightest laptop out there with these specs, its pretty light and I find it to be much more solidly built than all the options that are lighter. I am most talking to you, Asus Zenbook S14 (which is not a 2 in1, but broadly in this performance class). Wicked light, but feels very fragile in the hands. Battery life is amazing. On eco mode, I am getting 17-18 hours. Literally all day battery life. With a blend of eco and performance mode, its more like 13-14 hours. The highest power charger I have is 100W, and this 2 in 1 can charge at 90W from what I have seen at least for initially. It does settle into more like 65W. Annoyances - I wish the screen half was the same length and width as the keyboard half. The screen half is smaller, and it can be annoying when you go to open it for use, as there is not a good place to lift from. All the ports on the sides are almost impossible to see from a normal seated position. You really can't see them and even feeling around its hard to find them. In a well lit room, maybe its ok. But this is going to be quite annoying for me. I have owned and used dozens of laptops over the years. I have never had one where the ports were this unfindable. I kind of wish they'd go back to the old pen from the 2021/2022 era Lenovo 91 2in1's that were small and fit into the chassis. The new much larger pen is easy to lose. Overall, very happy with my purchase. I did get this for the holiday sale price.

“I’m so happy with my Lenovo Aura purchase from Best Buy! The setup was smooth, the performance is fast, and the sleek design makes it a joy to use every day. Best Buy made the buying process easy, and I feel confident I got a great value. Definitely a 5-star experience!”

Has a great display and feels sturdy overall. Came with a pen that actually works really well. What suprised me was the size and quality of the pen. The audio is great too. The only downside is that it dies a little quick, but it makes sense with what it delivers. Wish it came with a little case like some other ones I have bought.

Fantastic computer with tons of performance. Have been using this over my other - fruit brand - computer. Lightening fast, superior sound quality, and the touch screen paired with the folding capability makes this a true all in one.

As a techie, I love this laptop, a little bit more than what I needed it for…. But it is great. It’s compact so it’s easily portable and I can attach my monitors to it. (My past laptops have been 16”+) Have had no issues with battery life. What I need to do on it, the speed of it is great. (Some coding, some searching, some documentation) Love this laptop!

Computer is great so far after using it for a few weeks, smooth typing, screen is clear and detailed, stylus is nice to have with it. Very fast and responsive when using it and so far the battery is excellent. Being used as college computer for my daughter.

Works great, excellent display, lots of USB ports.
