[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a middle school music teacher and this is the first computer I've ever owned that nearly checked all the boxes for me. I use it throughout my work day, at home and for grad classes and professional development.
It has a bright, vibrant display that is large enough to run video and music editing software in class, but still portable and lightweight enough to carry around from room to room. It has just just enough ports that I can connect to a projector, doc cam or an audio interface to record student projects.
The processor can handle a lot of work simultaneously. I just yesterday streamed our spring concert to YouTube using OBS Studio. We were outside in the heat, and the computer held up beautifully, delivering excellent video and audio to friends and family who couldn't make it to the show.
I love that I can tent the computer to watch a video with my kid at home, or fold it completely to use as a tablet with the included stylus. I'm a digital person, but I still prefer hand writing notes over typing them when I am in professional development. The touch interface is excellent and using the stylus in OneNote is very natural.
The audio setup on this laptop is truly special. Putting the speakers in the hinge gives you excellent sound in any screen setup and the speakers actually sound good. I've never had a laptop that sounded good without an external speaker.
One complaint I have is that there is no dock for the stylus. Even making the pen magnetic so it would stick to the side would have been better. Also, teaching music I could use one more port since I use a lot of peripherals. The ports are mostly USB C so if your school has a lot of older hardware, you will need to purchase some adapters.
I've been using this computer for a couple months now and all in all it's outstanding. I'm glad I saved myself $500 not buying a Macbook Pro that wouldn't have had the stylus and touch functionality of this computer.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded to this from a 5 year old Yoga 710. The build quality on the 9i doesn’t seem as high. The fit and finish aren’t quite as good, the hinge makes tent mode a little more awkward, and there’s more flex in the display half of the machine than the 910. However the performance is out of this world better, and I never knew laptop speakers could sound this good. It was a good upgrade but not perfect.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased for student heading back to college. Set up easily and has performed well on network and off. The included sleeve is good. Nice and bright display. Touch seems better that previous Yoga. Pen stopped working and addressed with re-boot. No other issues in first month of use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very impressed with this unit, starting with the packaging. The screen is beautiful, vivid and very responsive to touch. Set up on the network quickly as its really a speed demon installing software. Was very pleased with all aspects.
