It's an eye-catching look with practical benefits.
Approach it, however, and you'll notice the laptop is adorned with round, gleaming chrome edges across the top and bottom half. It's a clamshell design with a rotating hinge that folds back 360 degrees, effectively turning the laptop into a tablet.

I can't think of another Windows laptop maker so consistently willing to go off script and the Yoga 9i 14-inch is a prime example of its willingness to depart from the norm.įrom a distance, the Yoga 9i looks like most Windows 2-in-1s. Lenovo doesn't get enough credit for its design. It skimps on nothing, which makes the Yoga 9i's entry-level MSRP of US$1,249 (AU$2,399) justifiable, though our review configuration will set you back US$1,450 (AU$3,049). The laptop's specifications are otherwise mundane, though certainly high-end for a 14-inch laptop of this size.
Dimensions: 12.57 inches wide x 8.53 inches deep x. Connectivity: 2x USB-C 4.0 / Thunderbolt 4, 1x USB-A 3.2 Gen 1, combo headphone/mic. Display: 3,840 x 2,160 IPS with HDR support. Though thin, the laptop packs four performance cores and eight efficiency cores for a total of 12. The Lenovo Yoga 9i 14-inch is among the first laptops with Intel's new 12th-Gen Core mobile processors targeting thin-and-light machines. Although the fan noise can be a bit loud and we feel as though it relies too much on USB-C, overall we were impressed with this machine. From the thin profile to the powerful internals, this year's model delivers blazing fast performance in a tiny package. Lenovo's Yoga 9i 14-inch (2022) builds on this decade of experience in all the right ways. Though Microsoft's Surface devices set the trend, it was arguably the high-volume Yoga line that became the true vanguard of mainstream convertible design. A decade has passed since Lenovo introduced the first Yoga 2-in-1.
