***ALERT*** Now available with OLED: lenovo.vzew.net/rnN52Q with a shipping date of May 26.

***UPDATE*** Well I had a mistake in reporting the battery life and had to re-run the battery test and the result was over 10 hours on the continuous web surfing test over WiFi at 150 nits, on battery saver mode. You can expect 7 to 8 hours for real world mixed use. Depends on what you are doing of course. I will continue to test to see more results under different scenarios. I have the FHD IPS model and I am in the middle of the battery test and so far over 10.5 hours on the battery test with 30 percent left, so you can expect better battery life on the FHD IPS model which is no surprise.

Great review, Andrew! As the product manager of this Yoga 9i, I’m excited to see how you nicely breakdown the upgrades key features of this laptop. Well done. I’m keeping a close look at the comment section and see how we can improve for next one. （yes, I heard you about the pen storage. We are already working to have a better solution.：）

Finally! I've been waiting for this review, thank you Andrew!

Simply perfect laptop for me! I just bought one mostly for office work + some media consumption and I'm very satisfied. Great review!

This is really nice! That mode to blur the background is a game changer for me.

Another great review. Funny, KZfaq served up an HP Envy x360 commercial during your video. I like the 1080p webcam and blurred background.

Thanks for the view inside with the fans and thermal photographie...nice unboxing👍

Really interesting device and slick new design thanks for the impression Andrew!

SUPER helpful review!!! Thank you

Congrats, lovely review!

Excellent review as usual Andrew. 👍👍. Very cool machine

Having at least one USB-C port on both sides is a very welcome change. All laptops that provide at least 2 USB-C ports should strive to achieve this. It’s a small detail but it becomes very convenient for charging, especially when you’re not at your home setup, eg. traveling.

Thanks for consistently delivering quality videos. Your hard work shows.

I pulled the trigger on this laptop. Excited for it to get here this week

They already have a 25% sale on the only 9i model they have in store. Really cool laptop though. I hope the 16gb uhd model will be less than 1500$ with a good sale.

Looks like a great all around package for a 2-in-1. Thanks for the review.

Very good review, Andrew!!!

Waiting for full review Mr. Andrew. Thanks qnd have a good day.

Love your channel. Thanks for all your hard work for us

Hi great first look, how are the thermals with the new CPU. Wonder what (and when) HP's spectre x360 will do with Alder Lake

Interesting- looking forward to your review Andrew. 😊

It would be awesome if you can do a comparison of the upcoming ThinkPad Yoga gen 7 because they can be configured with same components, more or less. I know ThinkPad is different category but it can be helpful to know if it is worth the extra cost

And just a month later… I ordered this laptop. Maxed out. I have to wait 3 to 4 weeks to have it on my hands. Can’t wait!!!

Beautiful machine! Great promise for future laptops

Nice PC. Camera looked good and clear and microphones sounded good and clear. No distortion or muffled sound. Display looks very good. I noticed on your description of USB-C ports on the left side you mentioned that both were full service, however the symbol next to the ports indicated that one is for charging the PC. Please check out whether both can charge the unit or only one. Great review.

Great demo Andrew. I'd like to know which laptop you prefer for personal use: Lenovo Yoga 9i or the Lenovo Yoga X1 Gen 6? and why?

Loving this laptop. It's perfect. Design, OLED, performance.

Thanks for the great review. This certainly looks something to consider. The screen makes it a much better buy than the Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360. I watched you review on that so it would be interesting to see a comparison.

Hi. Please make a full review, especially please test the battery life when selecting "best performance" or "best battery" modes. Because like you said, Lenovo even made a dedicated physical button for that. Thanks

great video! personally i'm really excited for the new yoga 7i, seems to have better ports that the 9i (Hdmi and SD card reader) can't wait to see a video on it!

Thanks Andrew! Even your unboxing reviews gives us great info! Any plans to review the TP X1 Yoga Gen7 and/or Yoga 7i 14"?

Excellent display, excellent 1080p webcam quality, great mic quality and nice sound from the internal speakers. I appreciate that Lenovo includes a laptop sleeve with the device as well as the pen. Brilliant review once again Andrew!! 👍😁

Battery life, I'm very curious to see the extended review of this laptop, first one I see with the P series processors from Intel.

Really like the minimalistic look.

Mouthwatering, a family member of mine looking for this one except the one in Finland for 1999euros has an even brighter display (600nits) and 1tb ssd storage. The cheaper model for 1599euros has iCore5 and the screen you showed us today, 512ssd. Availability very limited.

Excellent review, many thanks! Just wondering the model number of this display as well as the PWM frequency (if it uses PWM)

Just waiting for the right model to drop, the current offering is a little limited with 8GB of RAM and only 256GB SSD.

Great first look! I would also be interested in the full review. Please add some details regarding the keyboard - how good is it compared to other current ultrabooks / convertibles (also the current ThinkPads with 1.5 mm keytravel)? And how disturbing might the display glare get? I would also absolutely love a review of the new Thinkpad X1 Yoga G7, as soon as you can grab one. Would also be interesting to campare those two. Best!

Hi AMD, you're the reviewer i trust the most, so i was wondering which would you recommend me the thinkbook 13s gen 2 or the thinkpad x1 titanium Yoga? Thank you

Andrew, what is the noise emission in decibels (mainly fan) under full load and in Lenovo reduced consumption mode?

Hi Andrew, maybe you can check/test the noise of the fans. I sent my Yoga 9i back due to a terrible high-frequency noise coming when the fans are on. I'm pretty sure, that's is the noise from the electronic of the fans ("coil whining"?). The airborne noise of the fans is definitely good. If your Yoga 9i has not that issue, maybe I will order a second time.

Excellent review, Andrew. This laptop looks brilliant and it looks like the touch pad is a big improvement over the previous model.

The best man in the game is here once again with a gem🇬🇭🇬🇭

Will the i5 1240 option provide a recognizable longer battery life over the i7? Is the warranty voided, if the SSD is changed to a new one?

Thoughts on this vs slim 7i pro (will be released with alder lake soon). Only advantage for slim 7i pro I see is 90hz screen and cost. This unit can charge both sides, flip screen/touch enabled, better sound system. Thoughts?

Can't wait to see this compared to Spectre with 12th gen. I had thought this one would have the edge because it stored the stylus. Now that doesn't its much more close.

Looking Very Handsome in Thumbnail... Impressed by the number of words you said WITHOUT BREATHING before your signature "COMINGGGG UPPPP....!!!!" 😂😂😂

You are probably the first who reviews the new intel processors.

Andrew, please test if surface pen works on the screen. Because I have Lenovo yoga tab 13 pro with Snapdragon 870 processor. Even though this tablet officially only supports Lenovo precision pen 2, I can confirm that surface pen perfectly works on my tablet. Wander if that's the case with this Lenovo Yoga 9i convertible?

Looks really sleek...👌

Which hair oil do you use on your hands?

Critique I posted on Lenovo's main video featuring these new keys, which to me should be removed: "Please get rid of these 1-Click Function Keys as they don't serve enough purpose to merit the need of shifting the keyboard to the left side when before it was ergonomically centered just fine. These 1-Click Function Keys all have negligible use cases. 1. No one needs to constantly be blurring and un blurring their background specifically on Teams (which is what the button is made for). A lot of people just blur it once for work and that's it. 2. The performance button has no use as before everyone did Fn + Q with one hand easily. Nobody asked for this mechanism to be changed. Heck, it was praised as the best way to change performance modes without being intrusive for good reasons. 3. The dark mode button is pointless. Almost everyone only needs dark mode in Chrome mostly and the extension has a dedicated button to switch easily. If you ask about the desktop folders, that dark mode button is coming later in a Windows 11 update. Confirmed by Windows 11 devs themselves. 4. The music EQ is pointless since there's already a dynamic profile which switches accordingly the modes. Dynamic sometimes even gets out a better profile than pre-selected profiles anyways. I can't even remember if there are more keys there but literally all of them have either redundant features or features that absolutely don't merit to shift the keyboard to left to have an uneven typing experience, and also that space is very valuable when moving the laptop around your house or work space as it serves to stabilize a hold there. A lot of people don't like Spectre's keyboard shifting the keyboard to the left for the ergonomical reasons I stated, and it's a shame you guys were one of the few who didn't take up this trend until now."

Do you think that its possible that some of the cpu performance issues will get reduced og solved by firmware, lenovo update center og win 11 updates? Its sometime difficult to figure out if its software og hardware isues

I have the 2.8k variation of this laptop. I wouldn't get that if you are nitpicky about the display quality. Colors are very nice when it comes to detailed images. The only thing about this model is that it has a screen door effect on white or solid color backgrounds. To me it looks grainy up close, but from arm length it is barely noticeable.

Hi Andrew, Would you be able to find out when Lenovo will release the Thinkbook Plus Gen 3? And would you be able to get a unit to review? I am really interested in getting one for work, but I just can't find out the release date.

Great AMD! BEST CHANNEL!

Hi, when 2022 Thinkpad series laptops will be released?

I wish they would let you fasten your pen on the laptop using magnets, like what is normal with tablets. Also, I hope they make a 16" version that will be able to have the same amount of RAM, the same i7 CPU and the new discrete GPU as the 7i. If it hadn't been for that, I would definitely be buying the 9i, but since I need more RAM and a more powerful CPU+GPU, I'm probably going for the 7i unless I can get a very good deal on the 9i. Wish they'd sell the 7i with the oatmeal colour as well!

I just bought the top version (OLED UHD, 12th Gen), knowing the laptop is phenomenal, but had a huge issue which was fortunately resolved. The sound was a disaster, felt like an mp3 in a 20-year old mobile phone. I tried settings, 2 Audio Mgt. apps (one paid), nothing. I was afraid of hardware/driver issues, I ran Windows troubleshooting and LIKE A MIRACLE, Windows recommended switching off a setting in the Realtek audio device called "Signal Enhancement". This fixed the problem. My guess is that the substandard "enhancement" of the Realtek adapter in combination with Lenovo Vantage settings causes dual "sound effect" syndrome.

Update to my original comment... In July I bought the 2.5k OLED 9i directly from Lenovo for $1700, at the time it was the only OLED model available. The laptop arrived with a cracked screen, Lenovo quickly replaced it. I have their Premium Care warranty but I'm sure they would have been just as quick about replacing it without that, since it was a new purchase. The replacement 9i kept freezing, rather than replace it again I returned it for a refund because Best Buy had the 4k OLED 9i on sale for $1350 with no tax (Florida tax holiday). At the time of purchase (August), BB was selling the 1tb 4k OLED 9i for $100 less than the 512gb 2.5k OLED 9i! FYI, I have Best Buy's all inclusive warranty which covers accidental damage. I've had the 2022 9i 4k OLED for a couple of weeks and so far everything is working fine. The screen is really good and there's a noticeable difference between its 400 nit 4k OLED and the 500 nit 4k UHD IPS screen on last years 9i. Colors appear brighter and more dynamic with the OLED, even though the IPS panel is 100 nits brighter. I like the rounded edges, its more comfortable than the previous 9i but it is a bit heavier. I watch a lot of movies, so I prefer a 16:9 ratio but its not a big deal. I don't write code or do any photo editing, so I can't speak to those features but overall I really like the 2022 9i OLED. FWIW, I've owned 6 Lenovo laptops over the years, they were mostly faultless but one, the S940 had a big problem. The S940's beautiful 4k curved edge screen spontaneously cracked 3 different times over a 4 month period, the model was discontinued within a year of its release (too many cracked screens?). Lenovo didn't use Gorilla Glass with the S940. Because of the Lenovo Premium Care warranty, not only was each screen replaced onsite (in my home) but after discontinuing the model, they replaced the S940 with a new 4k UHD IPS 9i. Whichever manufacturer's laptop is bought, I think its best to include in the cost a 3 year premium warranty, not doing so is too much of a risk. Once again, thank you for the excellent reviews!

Can the function key change for home, pg up, pg dn and end? It is more useful than those functions...

It's nice, but I'd prefer an AMD 6000 inside (relatively greater graphics performance via the integrated 680m), or an option for a decent discrete GPU i.e. 3050. Oh well, lots of stuff coming this Spring.

Where i can find the yoga i9 2022 with 16 gb of ram? In the official website you cant upgrade

I'm gonna get one when this launch in Malaysia hope my region get it I would like to go with i7 1280P +16GB RAM +1TB SSD in Oatmeal Color

Are you going to be reviewing the newest version of the X1 Nano that also uses the newer 12th gen intel chips? (Intel 1280P)

Thanks! I was waiting for this one. But, I can see on Lenovo spec. that this model comes with 3 display options, and all of them are glossy, also the LCD option - what a disappointment. ....so I guess I have to buy the comming Dell XPS 13 plus.

Any idea when yoga 7i 16 inch will be available in US ?

Holding out to buy a top of the line 2-1 that is 5G compatible. What might the 3 upcoming 2022 releases I should be keeping an eye out for? And will you have reviews? You do great work with these reviews, very helpful. Appreciate it!

How is it handling fingerprints on the chassis? Looks fine from the video but I was just wandering if it is smudging too much or no

Hello, I hope you can help me I have a lenovo c930, i7 version with 16gb of ram and 4k screen. I would like to change notebook, I would like to always get a premium and non-noisy 2 in 1 notebook, I usually use Adobe products, editing programs, ide to program. I am evaluating the updated version of mine, Lenovo yoga 9i 2022 or the Dell latitude 9430 but of the ell I have not found any reviews. What do you suggest me?

Why the shiny side that will show scratches... AND it's a different color...

Hey Andrew, could you post the Cinebench R23 numbers? Thank you!

Where can I buy Yoga 9 2022? I can't find a model in London(

My 2021 Lenovo yoga 9i's fan will not stop whatsoever and will run fairly hot with very mediocre battery. Interested to know if those issues are addressed

Need this now!!! Stop playing Lenovo and put up the 16 gig oled version

Hello andrew, Lenovo offers 2 different chargers when I want to customize Yoga 9i at the Lenovo website. 65Wh and 100Wh. As it has 75Wh battery, which one is better to use in long term point of view? Thank you for sharing your feedbacks bro🙏🍃

This computer is awesome, but is this computer good for programming and coding ?

Is the Core i7 - 1280p better than the 1260p? Are the differences negligible? I had my mind made up on buying the Lenovo 9i (intelCore i7-1280p) instead of the Galaxy Book 2 pro 360, despite being more of a Samsung user (tablet and smartphone), but now I'm in a bit of a panic because of this 1280p - 1260p thing.

This laptop is great but would be better in AMD version since no discrete GPU. love it but cannot accept intel ex gpu for such price. another point I would love full size SD card reader. great review as always.

Between the Yoga 9i 2022 and the XPS 13 Plus, which one should I choose ?

Nice

How can I upgrade the storage of the lpatop ?

May all being be healthy, be well, be free!

Would love to know how hot it gets and fan noise for daily web browsing Thank you

I got the 9i i7, 16gb 1tb with 100w charger included! i forgot to tell about the IR sensor that work with windows Hello.

thanks for the nice video, nicely explained

Hi Andrew, can we install double sided NVME SSD in this laptop?

does the screen of this laptop is better than lenovo slim 7 carbon in term of color accuracy and sharpness and details ? and does it support 10bit color?

agree with you about pen

Some informations about dell xps 13 plus?

i just watched a korean reviewer about the alder lake LF gram release and single core was 1680 so not sure what's the deal with this one.

Powerful machine overall slick design but after seeing xps 13 plus nothings seems sexier or gorgeous enough.

interesting when ryzen version will be released..

Nice update, but I don't like the extra column of keys... what a waste.... Any video on the upcoming 7i? maybe that is the better go to.

Would anyone recommend this over the M1 Macbook Air. I have an iPhone and iPad but OS happy with either OS

Waiting for HP Spectre x360 14 with Intel 12th gen.

How much, ad where are you, a Dubai or Abu Dhabi

Also, this sleeve probably is for your review only. Lenovo generally charges separately for the sleeve.

can i command an azerty keyboard ?
