[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A great convertible laptop so far.
Pros:
* I like the finger-print reader speed and convenience.
* Incredible screen - I got UHD (3840 x 2160)
* Battery life is amazing, lasts at least 8 hours, haven't really tested it well but it's great.
* Solid build. I was worried the flip style would feel cheap, but the hinge is great and works smoothly
- When using the stylus, wrists and hands on the screen don't impact it at all
- Camera has a small physical slider that covers the lens
Cons:
- Stylus doesn't have flip to erase function.
* Sometimes the stylus says it's not charging when it's in the port. Not sure what's up with that yet.
- I wish the better touchpad and fingerprint reader features were available without the leather back - or with a vegan leather alternative.
- Camera is low quality with no option to upgrade
* RAM is soldered on so I can't upgrade it later. I understand this is for the form factor, but then also the highest memory option should be higher than 16GB.
* I'm sure I'll figure out a work-around, but right now the screen print button always opens the snipping tool. I don't want that to happen, I tried turning on and off Function Lock. Just a bit annoying right now. I wish the Lenovo Vantage software let me customize with more granularity.
Overall a nice machine and a great display but it didn't perform the way I needed it to. In the end I returned the computer. My issues: - Pen lag. Could be worse, but should be better. - Pen pressure sensitivity isn't good at all and I could find no way to adjust it. I needed this to create artwork and it doesn't fit this need because you can't use pressure to dictate line quality. - Poor pen battery life. It does recharge quickly, but it really puts a kink in your workflow. If I had kept this machine, I would've had to purchase a second pen to circumvent this flaw. - Not waking up from sleep. Seriously, one of the worst bugs of all, and frankly unforgiveable. Why do so many PC laptops have an issue with this? To have to restart your laptop with the power button every time you walk away from it is a huge inconvenience. It's even a problem if I have left it open and it's gone to sleep. I tried a work around by changing the setting to hibernate, but still wouldn't wake up. Also tried a driver update as suggested by a tech, but it didn't help.
I did a lot of research before purchasing and really wanted this machine to work for me but, sadly, it did not.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m loving my new Yoga i9 14” laptop. The touch screen makes scrolling a breeze. Great battery life. The leather gives it a premium feel.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Stylish 2-in-1 that performs well in a variety of situations. The leather adds a unique aspect that currently can’t be found elsewhere and that sets it apart. Love it.

So far I am happy with the laptop. Fast, light and the speakers sound great. I have two gripes with the laptop though. 1. This is my first windows laptop as I was always a Mac guy. The amount of updates and forced restarts is annoying. Not technically this laptop's fault but thought I would vent. 2. The finger print scan works about 25% of the time. I have 3 unique users with their own profiles and each one has the same issue. It barely works and we have to rely on our pins.
Overheats frequently.....otherwise a nice powerful little laptop
