[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love everything about this 2-1 tablet/laptop, except the battery life and fingerprint sign-in feature. The battery life only lasts between four to six hours, and the fingerprint sign-in usually does NOT recognize my fingerprint. Therefore, I am using my pin most of the time to sign in.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the original X1 Yoga a few years ago and it's been a great laptop but it was getting time to replace it. The display on the original Yoga is very good, the 4K display on the 9i is amazing. Add to that the capabilities of the external displays (another 4K and an WUXGA) and it's an impressive laptop. The only thing I miss is the track stick. I can never get used to the track pads.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my new YOGA! The sound bar is a nice touch, as well as the leather top. So far the Lenovo YOGA team has not disappointed. I was hesitant to purchase another YOGA since they didn't have the watch bank connection between the screen and the computer. Most laptops or laptop to tablet convertibles have connection failures between in the connection between the screen and the keyboard/computer side of things due to opening and closing them so much in travel. Let's just say I needed a laptop that held up to being opened and closed multiple times a day as my office location shifted often during a day and week to week. My older YOGA with the watchband connection solved the issue of loosing connection with the screen with amazing elegance! BUT it was older and slower given todays larger programs, and was having issues with the speakers.
So when I saw the sound bar connection on the new YOGA 9i 14 I felt like it was worth the chance to upgrade to a new YOGA. So far I'm super impressed. It is lighter than my old YOGA, and the sound bar seems to make a solid connection between the screen and keyboard/computer side of things - albeit not as elegant as the watch band feature.

Almost perfect if not for trackpad and fingerprint

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'll start with this: I'm a lifelong Apple user for all personal endeavors (I've been using Macs outside of school/work since the 80s). I've been waiting for Apple to produce a capable 2-in-1 that I can use for both home and work purposes, and while it looked like they were close, they didn't deliver in 2021. After hours of research I decided to "break ranks" and go with Lenovo's Yoga 9i 14" Shadow Black device - the top-end for this series. And, so far, on the whole I've not been disappointed.
The 9i is fast, light, and brilliant in its functionality. It's well built and has performed beautifully in both "laptop" mode and when folded over to work as a tablet. The screen is crisp and bright with good color representation. It's a bit heavy and bulky in tablet mode, but that's a known factor so I can't take points off for that (it's not designed to be an iPad Air). The included stylus and screen sensitivity are just "okay," as is the case with the trackpad, but I've been spoiled by Apple in these areas so for a Windows product, Lenovo has done "fine."
I've loaded the holy-smokes out of my 9i from a multitasking perspective and it hasn't missed a beat - delivering far better performance than my four year old MacBook Pro. I even took a chance at upgrading to Windows 11 and I have to admit - I like it and have had absoltuely no problems with the upgrade. Overall, I think I may be a convert. Lenovo has built a fantastic 2-in-1 with the Yoga 9i.
The only complaints I have - and unfortunately they're not insignficant - are:
1) Neither the trackpad nor fingerprint scanner have any discernable edging (no bevel, no raised lip) - just an astonishingly unnoticable recessed line around them...something akin to a light scratch in the laptop case. Consequently, I'm constantly missing the devices or unknowingly sliding off of them. I can't fathom how Lenovo thought this was good user design - even in testing. When I say "unnoticable," I'm not joking - in direct light when angling the laptop for the best view, it's almost impossible to see the edges, nevermind feel them. Considering that to log onto the laptop (w/o having to type in a PIN) you need to locate the nano-fingerprint scanner, this is a HUGE design fail. This leads me to my second criticism.
2) The fingerprint scanner fails more than it works. I've seen this complaint many times elsewhere. Because you can't feel the fingerprint sensor (see complain #1), you have to guess that you're "on it," and it's only about 1cm x 1cm so it's very easy to be off-center. However, even when I'm sure I'm dialed onto it, it only works perhaps 1 out of every 5 times I appply my fingerprint. I've even added a second fingerpring thinking maybe my index finger was jacked up, and same result. For comparison, my MacBook Pro fingerprint reader worked the first and every time, and was able to discern between my fingerprint and that of others, so it was securely working. When it takes sometimes 15 seconds to log into my Yoga, well..."Houston, we have a problem." With no facial ID yet on this device and the only other option being typing in a PIN (which you have to click to prompt - it doesn't automatically take the PIN input if you just start typing it...again, unfathomable), I can't understand how Lenovo created such a phenomal product in quite honestly *every* other respect but worse than bombed on arguably one of the most important functions of a device - starting it up.
Overall, I *can* live with those failures such that I'm happy with my purchase (tweaking some settings, etc.). If I had to buy again, the trackpad and fingerprint reader issues are so bad I might consider an alternative model. However, for what I currently have in my lap right now, I'll keep it and continue to happily use it (and hopefully grow accustomed to the touchpad and forgiving of the fingerprint sensor). If they fix these issues on their 2022 model, it'll be a guarnateed 5 out of 5 rating, hands down (and if you do, Lenovo, please I beg you send me a new device with these design failures corrected).
Overall, it's a strong 4 our of 5 star rating. Dare I say it, "See ya...Mac. It's been real." Lenovo's Yoga 9i 14" Shadow Black device is a killer.

World's worst touch pad
on December 27, 2021
Posted by: M12341234
Good battery life, great screen but overall I can't get over the touchpad. Unfortunately this really makes the user experience so poor the device is a pin to use. I definitely would not buy this again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The TouchPad is a junk. I should listen to other people's opinions on the internet. The low left and right corners don't work. You have to click the 0.5 inch away from the corner.
