Fun to see the Yoga series get some love. I bought a Yoga Carbon Slim 7 about a year ago and I'm super happy with it. I came from a Lenovo Yoga X1 4th gen that retailed for 28k SEK, to the Carbon Slim 7 that with a discount only cost me 12k SEK. And yes it is plastic, yes it feels like a toy, but it ticks all my boxes for a travel laptop.

Numpads are basically a necessity for languages that use the number row on the QWERTY primarily for diacritics or special characters, I myself couldn't work without it. However, my gripe is the absence of full-size up/down arrow keys, which I also couldn't work without. So I'd have to pass on these if I'd considered them for on-the-go work.

@furqanandmatt 7 месяцев назад

The numpad is so essential. And you can't find top ones in a 14 or 15 inch with it. :/

@bradbrowatzke7236 Год назад

Loved the review, Alex. Just as a side note, the links at the top DO take you to the Lenovo site, and even tease the YOGA 9I, but the first goes to the same as the second, and there is no 9I available on site (just yet, I imagine). Great laptop for just about anything graphics intensive, but the 16" lends itself more towards drafting and 3D CAD with the integrated numpad. Because of the addressing of a keyboard with a numpad vs one without, the more robust software titles are able to incorporate more functionality via the numpad, streamlining their process trees. Overall, I do look forward to this offering becoming available, although I would like to see a comparison of what the 9I compares to a similarly kitted out Framework, as it sounds like there are some exciting options becoming available for it as well.

I have the predecessor to this (Slim 7 Pro X) in AMD flavor and it's incredibly good bang for your buck. Lenovo did a really good job hitting all of the important stuff--the trackpad feels great, the screen is the perfect size and resolution, the thermal management is great, battery life is very good, speakers sound good, and the price was excellent. If I didn't just get this super discounted from Costco I would absolutely buy the newest variant here.

My first laptop was the Lenovo Yoga Pro 2, which I chose specifically over the comparable Sony Vaio because the keyboard is better, and I am still loyal to Lenovo because of their keyboards, even though that model was flawed because of the RGBW display that had terrible yellow reproduction that was never fully fixed. After it died after five years, I got the (European) Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 - not a convertible - and I love it. I put it in my camera bag too tight and the chassis bowed a little and keys on the very left had been a bit sticky, but it's not too bad, and it's my fault and I could get replacement parts because it's Lenovo. So, I'm their loyal customer.

This is far from the first "Yoga" branded notebook that isn't a convertible, although it is interesting that it forgoes the "Yoga Slim" name.

Looks like they're making the Yoga branding for premium ultrabooks a more global thing.

I was really excited for the 16" version of this laptop as I really want a windows based laptop that can actually compare with a macbook. I've been using a 14" Yoga 9i and it is great but I really want a bigger screen. The 75 Whr battery in the 16 is extremely disappointing though and might be a deal breaker :( I know we aren't going to see x86 architecture with battery life that can compete with arm (macbook 16 easily gets over 18 hours), but 12+ hours should be achievable. Unfortunately with the 75 Whr in this thing, I'd only expect maybe 8 if you are being nice to it. Just isn't enough IMO, you need the laptop to be able to get through an entire business day with room to spare. So sad, cause they could've easily fit more battery in there. I'd give up the 2nd ssd slot for more battery personally.
