only 3 weeks after, one pixel is yet off (still white)
Bad experience here!
for the rest, everything looks normal: that we can expected from a new machine?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought two of these for me and my wife. Overall it is sleek, responsive, and generally reliable. The best part about it is the sound quality. Phenomenal for a device this size. However, this is one of the worst engineered devices I have ever laid my hands on. Two screws under the back foot pad create a faraday cage which cripples the wifi. Remove them and everything works fine. My only other complaint is the lack of docking station support. I have a Lenovo USB-C Thunderbolt 3 dock from my ThinkPad which has and continues to work flawlessly for over a year. Since moving to my Yoga 9i I have had nothing but problems with bluescreens and monitor disconnects requiring regular power cycles to recover from. I have tried updated drivers both from Lenovo as well as Intel. Nothing resolves the issue. I attempted to reinstall Windows which leads to my final complaint... the BIOS does not support bootable USB media formatted with anything but Fat32... Given that Microsoft creates installer drives with files larger than 4GB this is unacceptable. Unless you are comfortable creating your own installer WIMs with a smaller file size, do not expect to have an easy time installing any OS on this model beyond the built-in Fresh Start option in Windows.
At the end of the day, I love this thing... but every time I come across one of these issues I want to throw it in a bin.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really love the laptop and it's capabilities. We have had some issues so far, but Lenovo is actively working on remedying those. Hope to get them fixed soon because we really want to keep this!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the 9i for 3 months. The 2 Usb-C allows one for charging and the other to connect to a multi port hub. C Hub adaptors are available for about any old devise.
9i supports the future higher resolution TV.
Still having one USB-A port, allows for connection to a current standard thumb drive without having to take a hub to the coffee shop. I like as promised how fast the 9i starts and shuts down.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love it’s sleek, slim design; and I’m awed by it’s crystal-clear picture and strong , clear sound quality! This little computer is powerful and starts up immediately, has fantastic battery life and is easy to use!
I also like that it not only has advanced lightening inputs (2, actually), but still has a more traditional USB input for the mouse and other devices I already own, so I didn’t have to additionally buy all new devices and connectors, as well!
