How is the fan noise in silent mode? Did you try to use it with a USB-C power supply?

@@cptcrogge Hi ! I'm gonna be quite long but i'll try to describe it correctly. (And i'm sorry if there is mistakes, english isn't my native language and isn't well taught here) Also a disclaimer because i probably have a differant tolerance to noise than you have, and i may not have the same workload as you. So don't trust me too much. I won't talk about the ultra quiet mode available in the bios (and only the bios, i didn't found it anywhere else) because i didn't try it but i suppose that for light to medium load it's even better for silent seeker. First I'll talk about light load like web browsing, video streaming, powerpoint, word.... In this laptop there is 3 power mode that you can access both via windows or lenovo vantage (their software) The first one is the energy saving mode where as you guessed is the most low powered but also the most silent one. At more or less 40 centimeter which is a little bit more than a foot it's close to dead silent, but not dead silent, if you're in a really silent room you'll probably slightly hear it. But it's not a problem to be honest because it's not really high pitch or anything so you could consider it silent. The second is called normal use in windows and intelligent/auto in vantage, it's still quite silent really close to the first mode in light use but it can be slightly more hearable in like 4k hdr 10 bit video streaming but even so there is probably sound to hear which is way louder than the fan. Performance Mode is actually similar in light load thought slightly worse in the video streaming explain above. In medium to heavy load (depending on your workload and own opinion) like video editing in davinci resolve, photo editing, light gaming (like indie game such as Celeste, Hollow Knight or Abzu) or programming and slight compiling. For energy saving mode it's close to the Auto mode in the worst light load so you can hear it if your environment is silent but really manageable and if you have headphone or iem you won't hear it even without music. Auto mode is getting noticable i could say it's mostly fine but when it get spikes of uses, fans ramp up and it can be anoying for some, to me it's perfectly find and doesn't bother me nor the poeple around me. Performance mode start to get awful and is clearly noticable but i would say it's bearable. Under heavy load to really heavy (It still depends on your workload) like unreal engine 5.4 or optimised like shit game, namely ark ascended. Saving mode can actually struggle but still perform surprisingly well and can still run those if you don't go to hard on presets and render quality. I was able to play fine (not the best but playable) ark ascended on 1920x1200 in medium presets with dlss on balanced and frame gen on. And to my surprise it was really not bad in term of noise, it's hearable yes. But if i had to make a comparison it's like a quite low pitch wind/noise. It's noticeable to me but really not bothering and it almost disapear with iems or headphones without music. In auto mode, it start to get noisy and can be bothering in extreme load in ark 1920x1200 in high preset, dlls balenced frame gen on it was really playable but it started to get noisy and bothering if not wearing headphones. But it was the maximum noise that i got. In the auto mode UE5.4 and ark where the worst in noise. For the performance mode... Just avoid it... it's like an old ps4 that make a turbine sound when starting, i'm quite exagerating but it's really annoying and to me it's too noisy to be usable. But maybe for some... To note that in perf mode you get access to easy gpu overclocking so maybe in some rare cases it's of use. For the USB C Charging Both the usb c and the thunderbolt support 100w via the power delivery standard. I tested it with a 65w PD power brick and a 160w max output with a 140w max per port (so imited to 100w) and both worked well. I even did my ark ascended energy saving mode test with my 160w charger and i didn't lose battery at least for the short test that i did. You could consider the provided 170w charger to be mandatory for heavy load if you want to be safe. To me the energy saving mode might be enough for almost any regular user that don't need to play unoptimised games or use UE5, and will be near perferct in term of noise. Hope that helped ! If you have other questions i'll try to answer them the best way i can.

@@Silver-xo3ur Merci! I appreciate the insight, for daily work the energy saving mode seems to be a great choice I love quiet devices. The USB-C information is useful as well because I often travel 2-3 days and need a leighweight charger. Last question, is the display comfortable for the eyes?

Thanks!

I've heard the hinge of them is really bad, it was intend to break after year or two. but from what i see, lenovo is the best laptop maker right now, on pair with apple

Laptops are so expensive. Even the flimsy ones

Glad I could help

I have the LG Gram Pro 16, not the 2-in-1, and should be live next week.

How were the blacks on the yoga pro 9i in person am like you I've love oled I know last years model they were a lil grayish let me know thanks but it's popular lenovo said I won't get until may 21st

Personally would go for the yoga, a good Dedicated GPU is extremely nice to have for rendering times and previews, and of course for overall performance.

@@tj1579 ty!

To be honest, I never understood why good sound is such a massive criteria. I mostly use my laptop with earphones.

Yes it was a typo

1 Thunderbolt port supports up to 8K@60Hz

Thanks Rafael

Like last years model, I think that information isn't listed because it doesn't support active stylus/pen. If it has touch, then your fingers or Capacitive pen should work fine. I use last year's 14 inch model, a good capacitive pen I found is the Nillkin Stylus Pen but try others too.

Coming soon

They both available in Romania, but 4070 only with anti-glare (matte) screen!

I am of the opinion if you need a laptop now, but it now and not for the promise of what may come next year.

In Europe 4070 is offered

That's on deck. Stay tuned.

You better make sure first that the software applications you need will run ok on that system, whether emulated or natively. No question the hardware is more attractive than x86 CPUs but that’s just the start…

@@AyoHues they already had pretty much everything running on ARM but after watching the snapdragon vid that dropped yesterday, they literally have EVERYTHING running on ARM now. might not be a great choice for gaming but for productivity and work it will be a game changer.

@@deltax7159 go for it!

You are welcome!

imo zephyrus if you can afford a model with rtx 4080 or rtx 4090. but i hear the 4070 and 4080 zephyrus models have annoying fan noise or coil whine from others who have used it so far.

It's fine

This is what was sent to me by Lenovo. I have no say in that.

It has arc graphics

@@andrewmarcdavid so you get 2 good GPUs for price of 1, thats great news!

This video review is for a Pro 9i not the 9i. Is your laptop using the new meteor lake cpu? Those have good igpu so I think you can do light gaming.

@@SOG989 sorry I thought it was the 9i Btw it costed me 960 bucks so did I get my money's worth or no?? I wanted a 2n1 touchscreen laptop only

​​​​@@vd9570If your laptop uses a Meteor Lake CPU (aka Intel Core Ultra 7), then you can definitely do some gaming on this machine. If it is a Raptor Lake(i.e. 13th Gen Intel Core) or older, you can still game on it but might have to tone down the graphics settings. 1080p Medium should still be playable in Fortnite though.

@@vd9570you didn't mention what cpu/igpu it has but I think that's a good price. I also wanted to get that 2in1 for school, drawing and light gaming.

From what I've heard on other reviews, they are skipping the 14" this year. What a shame.

@@dwalleck that's too bad. i love this laptop, but it's just too big for me. thanks for the reply anyway

Yeah, I am disappointed no 14" version.

This is much brighter. But the samsung ilhas deeper blacks and better contrast

@@andrewmarcdavid Thanks. I think it's the same debate as in medium-sized monitors and big TVs: Brighter min-LED vs. deeper blacks and higher contrast of OLED.

Looking into this

HUH REALLY

2024 Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i (Best Buy): howl.me/cmelpK0R6Dr

I think he made a mistake when writing the text in the video and hasn't caught it. There's no way he'd be raving about the display and calling it pro if the contrast is actually extremely below average. All other reviewers list it as a much higher contrast, somewhere between 2000:1 and 3000:1.
