Tablet? Laptop? GET BOTH!! - Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1 (2024)

[@friendlysurveillancecamera6507]

I have this laptop 2024 model, and overall, it's a good laptop. However, beware of the OLED touch screen. It has a thin layer of digital touch on top of your OLED screen, which results in a graininess matrix layer. If you don't notice it, that's good for you. But if you are keen about your display, then be warned. They use OLED screen technology such as GF2 or OGM (One Glass Metal Mesh), if you are interested in learning more.

[@deea-ll9ko]

Agree. The Yoga has screendoor effect as well, but its way better than the one on the HP Spectre 2024. I think I can work with the one on the Yoga..

It would've been great if you gave a bit more detailed overview of the battery life. It's a particularly important point in 2-in-1s. I'm very much considering purchasing this laptop but battery life is definitely one of the most important points for me.

[@IceBlueLugia]

@@Only_HabibiDoes she buy the products with her own money? How does she afford it? I remember Austin Evans said when he was starting out he would just buy the products, film a bunch of videos on them, then return them. Does she do that, or just sell them?

[@sharkfintech5893]

​@IceBlueLugia She disclosed that this video was sponsored by Lenovo and Intel, so the laptop is at worst a test/review unit (which she'll need to return to Lenovo), while at best, she'll get to keep it at no cost. Also, she has a relationship with Samsung, so she gets review devices (phones, tablets, laptops, watches) from them as well. At 430K subs, she's that much further along in her KZbin creator journey than Austin was when he started, so revenue streams like other sponsorships, AdSense, affiliate links, etc, likely pay her enough to afford any other devices she wants to review (and/or own) -- without having to make the crappy choice between needing to return reviewed merchandise, or taking on debt.

[@Shadowwe1]

What's the point? She'll do more sponsored reviews with 0 relevant information and will remove comments of people criticizing her for it.

“I can say anything I want.” Works for me, just sayin… Like that pen and the available adjustments.

[@frederickmiller5492]

I've been using a Yoga 920 2-in-1 for a few years now. A few things: Drawing on a 2-in-1 is WAY different than drawing on a dedicated tablet. You think it's going to work for you, until it really doesn't. My version had reliability issues - my sound completely died during the pandemic - the computer was only 2 years old at that point. It still works but the speakers no longer work - kinda sucks since I'm a teacher and like to show my students how-to videos every so often. Lastly - not having a dedicated GPU - SUCKS - seriously. If you don't think you need the pen/drawing feature - just get a laptop with a dedicated GPU. If you do any photoshop/video editing/light gaming - you are going to want a gpu more than the ability to flip the computer around and draw. I think I'm going to get a legion laptop as my next computer.

[@mochidomo]

Sounds like you just got the wrong laptop for your use case... Bummer about the speaker though. My Yoga C930 is still going strong!

[@avryduckworth5213]

These were the 2 options I was considering as well. I would love to have this laptop if it had an rtx 4070. Having drawing capability portably is a deal breaker for me and it's so frustrating trying to find a tablet computer that doesn't have some caveat like not actually being able to handle ps or 3d programs like Maya :/

[@cooltwittertag]

most 2 in 1s are super unstable when in tablet mode making them awful for drawing and not even that nice for writing

[@online9191]

I just bought one from Lenovo website. One question, how's the fan noise when it is set to high performance mode?

[@joaofreitas1438]

I'm wondering if you've already got the laptop. I am mostly interested in the battery life. How does it hold up? Ella doesn't really go into detail, and saying it doesn't match the M2 is not very informative at all. I haven't seen any windows laptop measure up to Apple silicon in terms of battery life

[@friendlysurveillancecamera6507]

The fan noise of this laptop is not that bad. You will hear fan noise if you set your laptop to Performance mode, but there is no fan noise in battery saving mode. I have used three modes for web browsing with 20 tabs open and running some virtual machine tasks, and I didn't notice any significant difference in performance across those modes. In short, the battery saving mode is good enough and doesn't produce any fan noise. However, I don't play games.

[@friendlysurveillancecamera6507]

I have this laptop, and when I set it to Battery saving mode, I can comfortably get around 8 hours or more of battery life. In the middle mode, the battery lasts around 5 to 6 hours, and in Performance mode, it may last around 4 hours. However, due to my preference to avoid fan noise, I haven't extensively tested the laptop in Performance mode. For my typical tasks, which include browsing, working with Word documents, coding, and running virtual machines, the battery life is sufficient in the lower power modes.

[@reefazahmed8200]

Every laptop has its own pos and cons. When you want to work as a tablet in a rough surface, there is no way to avoid the scratches that would be on the keyboards and in the front panel of this laptop. You always need to carry a cloth or something that can protect it from being scratched.

[@justahugenerd1278]

Not gonna lie I was interested until I saw those ports 😅 I'm gonna stick with my HP 2 in 1, it has way more ports than that, and the ones I need too

[@davidneale530]

Just curious, beyond 3 USB ports that can charge and handle video out, and a usb A and a headset jack, just what is missing for you?

[@justahugenerd1278]

@@davidneale530I use HDMI ports on my work laptops and there's no hdmi port. I very rarely need 3 USB C ports -- one is typically enough for me. One USB A is definitely not enough for me though. I typically use up to 3 USB A ports at once for my mic, speaker, and keyboard

[@davidneale530]

@@justahugenerd1278 Have you thought about getting even a cheap simple USB-C hub? It could have all those ports and pass through the power giving you just a single USB-C to plug in to the laptop. And on this Lenovo, you have a choice of three covering both sides. I have the 12th Gen version of this one and sometimes connect it to a monitor that has a built-in hub so again a single cable for power, data and video. Then the keyboard mouse receiver is plugged in to the monitor. Just an idea.

[@emman100]

yes you can. All 3 USB-C ports (the 2 ports on the left side, and 1 port on the right side) support charging. However, only the 2 left side USB-C ports support thunderbolt. Being able to charge on both sides is such a small, but awesome convenience, and I wish more laptops would implement it

[@nathanpatera9836]

Your jitter diagonal line test should: - be thinner, thick hides defects - many lines closer together like //////... - close enough to see this artifact: _()()()()_ Also, you should give a notetaking sample at regular size and not write in huge thick text. It's hard to tell how nice it is. The smaller your handwriting the better. My eyes are telling me this AES 2.0 screen&pen isn't the best. It looks like its deviating 2-5 pixels during a jitter. MPP 2.0 (Surface Slim Pen 2 and other good implements) and Apple Pencil win again :/ Lenovo stop using AES 2.0

the best implementation has gotta be Wacom EMR on the Samsung devices - it is basically perfect with how precise it is (plus the benefit of no need to charge the pen). I'm confused why you said Apple Pencil wins again? Personally, if I gotta pick between Apple Pencil or Samsung's S-Pen, I'm choosing S-Pen any day

Not related but I have been using both my phone and tablet in 90hz refresh mode (because they are supported). But lately I have been having headache watching anything on both of my devices by merely watching for 10 minutes.... So I started tweaking many settings in display dimming and brightening... Turning on eye protection mode.... No help.... So finally decides to turn down the refresh rate.... And voila.... My headaches are nearly gone (still feeling some of it)...

I have been using the Yoga for about a week, after 4 hours lite usage (VPN, outlook, teams, RDP, KZbin), the battery drops to 60%. With M2, it only drops to 80%. I ran some CPU intensive tasks; the speed was close to M2. Some benchmarks show the new Intel CPU is faster than M2, but not for me.

Reviewers cannot daily drive every machine so they can't tell you longevity. In general, longer term issues (other than customer service) are model specific rather than brand specific. They're due to design flaws that show up later down the line, and laptop designs are constantly refreshed every year so it can be difficult to spot
