[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent home 2-1. Crystal clear screen and solid speed. The sound is very good. Not a gamer but can hold up Game Pass and Steam games. Great product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros:
Adequate performance and what you expect from a laptop at this price. You won't be pleasantly surprised that it exceeds your expectations, unless you have low expectations.
Cons:
- Runs pretty hot, and the fans are noticeably loud.
- Essentially no battery life. 8-9 hours in some reviews is a wild overestimate. Maybe a couple hours in normal usage. Battery discharges completely over night, so if you're planning on using the computer it needs to be plugged in 24/7. So really, this is a movable computer rather than a reliable grab-and-go laptop.
- The pen is wholly underwhelming. A thin stick about the same as you would get on a phone. The garage was a selling point, but it's hard to get the pen out, and the screen gets in the way.
- Fingerprint reader is black on black, very difficult to find when you want to log in quickly. Works maybe 1 in 10 tries, so it's not usually worth the effort.
- Mousepad doesn't deactivate when the computer is in tablet mode, so you're randomly clicking when you are trying to get a grip on the screen.
- Not surprisingly for Lenovo, it comes with a large amount of bloatware. Incessant popups for the first few weeks as they push even more at you.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Yoga 9i has been a game changer for me. I did not know how much I would appreciate having a touch screen until I had one. The computer is not only sleek in design, it was easy to become familiar with how it operates through the Lenovo set up features. As a teacher who has spent more time than ever on my computer, the Yoga 9i has made all those hours much more pleasant.
