A STURDY BIG-SCREEN CONVERTIBLE
The design of the Yoga 9i is unassuming bordering on dull, but it certainly won’t offend and is a fit for professional use. It’s trim and relatively slim, and its metal chassis is a sleek slate-gray color. The build is top-quality sturdy with essentially no flex in any area.
The Yoga 9i measures 0.78 by 14 by 9.4 inches (HWD) and weighs 4.4 pounds. That makes for a pretty standard laptop in terms of size, ready to travel when necessary, even if it won’t be mistaken for an ultraportable. For comparison’s sake, the Spectre x360 15 measures 0.79 by 14.2 by 8.9 inches and weighs 4.2 pounds. While both are reasonably portable, we generally find 15-inch convertibles unwieldy—it’s a lot of screen to grasp and rotate, and such systems are far too heavy to hold in one hand in tablet mode. So we prefer 13.3- and 14-inch 2-in-1s.
For those who won’t compromise on screen size and want only occasional tablet or kiosk use, however, the big Yoga 9i is certainly a functional solution. It just doesn’t fit on your lap or on a petite cafe table or airline tray table quite as well.
Lenovo Yoga 9i (15-Inch)
PROS
Sturdy metal construction. Speedy performance and discrete GPU. Long battery life. Included stylus and built-in storage.
CONS
Few ports for its size. 15-inch convertibles are simply unwieldy as tablets.
BOTTOM LINE
The 15-inch Lenovo Yoga 9i combines robust design with more potent processing and graphics performance than many rivals, even if it’s rather big and awkward as a 2-in-1 convertible, and lacking in ports.
