Last week purchased a 2023 slim prob 9i (i9+4050+32RAM+MiniLED) for only $850 before tax through Lenovo eBay store. can’t be more excited. It is refurbished but when I received it is like brand new, only 7 battery recycles.

I purchased this but really did not like the track pad. For the price they charge for this laptop, I expect a haptic track pad no questions asked. The clicks were so loud and felt really cheap. Had to immediately return it.

Hello Folks, just a tip I learned before Best Buy pulled the plug on the Memorial Day deals. The 4050 version does not come with the mini LED, so you'll have to pony up the extra $200 for the better screen on the 4060 model.

Loud and noisy under any decent load. Battery drain under heavy load or gaming while on charging. All the benchmark results in all videos are always at maximum performance mode. This mode makes the laptop extremely annoying due to the fan noise. In the balanced power mode the results are kinda 35% lower.

"under 2000 dollars", its funny and interesting how people in NA look at the price "before tax" when this is never the reality of a price. In Europe, most countries sit around 20% VAT and prices are always shown with VAT included since thats what goes out of your wallet at the end of the day. I ordered this laptop and returned it, mostly because it was too expensive. Without an OS, 32GB, RTX 4060 and CU9, it came to about 2070 euros with a student discount of 9 or 10%. I think the original price was about 2300~ euros. Anyway, thanks for the video.

How does this compare with ASUS Zephyrus G16 in terms of build quality, speakers, and fan noise? They both have a 4070 option, and they are both thin and light. The Yoga Pro has a MiniLED option with a higher brightness and resolution, but less vivid colors than the OLED in G16. Yoga Pro has a numpad with Home/End/PgUp/PgDwn keys at convenient positions, whereas G16 has a centered keyboard and touchpad without a numpad.
@alexanderruchkov7629Ай бұрын
Dude, you have g14 and g16 in one post. Regarding g16, there are 3 fans in asus and people complain (abit )about squeaking fan noise, 3rd one on the dgpu. 4080 version has vapor chamber instead and, supposed, to run cooler. Also, asus has hdmi 2.1 whereas yoga 9i hasn't. And some people complained about asus quality control with blots on the screen. Asus 4080 with amd *might*, and i stress it, *might* be a better choice.

Da'faq. I called lenovo earlier today and they said it did work with the pen. I gave them a model number and everything. I just ordered the 4060 8gb card. I guess I'll just have to invest in another tablet for drawing. I needed to design but i do a lot of photo editing and wanted to get into video editing. Needed power but not full on gaming power and price.

The mini led in this laptop is both amazing… and bad. It is by the brightest screen I’ve ever seen in a laptop . It’s like almost 700 nits in sdr (not sure where he got that 400 nits in the video) and 1200 on hdr . In sdr mode it uses single zone dimming . There’s no blooming at all . In hdr the contrast ratio just goes up by a million . The blacks are imho almost pitch black . Very oled like . But the blooming is baaaaad. I only use hdr mode in things that officially support it like KZbin or movies . Don’t bother with auto hdr. Even in sdr single zone dimming the screen is like A+
