Being a thin 2-in-1, the IO is limited, but is still pretty decent. There are also intake grills for the fans down here and bottom-facing main speakers. A bunch of Torx screws hold the bottom plate in place, but it’s a very clean fit. The bottom is nearly as smooth as the lid. The hinge is pretty remarkable too because it also doubles as a soundbar, containing two tweeters. But there’s also a fingerprint scanner on the lower right-hand corner of the keyboard. We’ll cover these in more detail in the next section. This is a 16:10 screen so I expected a smaller lower bezel just like all the other 16:10 models out there.īelow all that is a keyboard and a large trackpad. I’m a little disappointed in the bottom bezel though, especially since it’s partially plastic. The panel is mostly glass and the bezels on the top and sides are reasonable.

Above it is a FHD webcam that has IR capability for Windows Hello face unlock. We’ll get more into the screen in a later section. Underneath is a large 16:10 QHD+ touchscreen. Between this and the low weight of this device, it occasionally walks on you while lifting the lid, requiring a second hand. Fact is, they are just very small and don’t provide enough friction on smooth surfaces. Lifting the lid is a one-finger effort…usually. On the other is your typical Lenovo badge. On one corner, there’s an embossed Yoga logo. The lid is a smooth matte finish, with the color being what Lenovo calls “oatmeal”. Certainly could be worse, but it’s worth noting. But as a consequence, the device is a little slipperier to grab than others. The matte finish coating of smooth aluminum on the top and bottom certainly makes the device look clean.
The only criticism I have with handling is that the finishes are a little too smooth to the touch for my taste. The symmetry is also real, as the laptop is pretty well balanced, closed or open. I never got the impression that the chassis was weak, and the laptop certainly is light enough to handle this way. I typically picked up the device from the corners, while open. It’s a unique design too, which I really appreciate. No creaks in the chassis and the rounded edges make you feel like the device was just a single piece of aluminum. It almost feels like the laptop is made from two large tablets. The all-aluminum CNC design gives the device a sturdy look and a familiar feel. When taking the Yoga 9i out of the box, I definitely got the feeling that I was dealing with a quality machine. Headphone/mic combo, HD Webcam with Windows Hello, quad speakers(2x tweeters and 2x sub) But after a few weeks of using this exclusively, I know this device will find a good home, especially with those that appreciate a competitive everyday laptop, but would also want the occasional tablet use, for multimedia purposes. Jack of all trades and master of none might very well fit the case here. Pretty cool features, if you ask me.Īt the same time, being a 2-in-1, there are a couple of things that make it a little less than ideal design, compared to a standard tablet or laptop. Today we have a polished model, with a 14” OLED display, a huge trackpad, face unlock, and a built-in soundbar. We’re nearly a decade after the first Yoga model was released – and boy has it matured.
