With fast components and a bright Mini-LED display, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 is the top of Lenovo’s multimedia laptop lineup. It has excellent image quality, but it also requires a lot of power. Its creaky casing and inferior specs compared to the smaller 14-inch Yoga Pro 9i are also annoying in daily use.

The Yoga Pro 9i is the top of Lenovo’s multimedia laptop lineup, and after reviewing the 14-inch version, we’re taking a look at the 16-inch model.
Basically, they use the same kit, as the aluminum chassis is combined with Intel’s current Raptor Lake processors and Nvidia’s current GeForce RTX 4000 laptop GPUs. Here you can choose between the RTX 4050, RTX 4060, and RTX 4070, with TGPs of 80 watts for the 14-inch model and 100 watts for the 16-inch model. Performance is therefore better than the smaller Yoga Pro 9i 14, but Lenovo inexplicably dropped Advanced Optimus from the larger model. In addition, the HDMI output only supports the old 1.4b standard, which is why 4K signals can only be output at 30 Hz.
The appearance of the body is also inferior to the 14-inch model. The stability and workmanship of the 16-inch Yoga are good, but there are some problems with the thin bottom plate, which makes a clearly audible creaking sound when holding it in the hand. This is really unacceptable. Inside the body, Lenovo decided not to use the extra space to install a larger capacityLenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 Laptop Battery
Instead, it reserved a second slot for an M.2 2280 SSD. This certainly helps to expand storage capacity (although the second slot is not connected via PCIe 4.0), but considering its shorter battery life, a larger capacity battery may make more sense for most users.
The biggest factor affectingLenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 Laptop Batterylife is the optional mini-LED screen, which has a peak brightness of just over 500 cd/m² in standard SDR mode, so it’s a far cry from the 14-inch model (around 700 cd/m²). However, because the panel is larger, it uses more power, so battery life is lower, especially in high brightness mode. In addition, due to the high reflectivity of the screen, you’ll have to turn up the brightness to maximum, especially in bright environments. For example, our Wi-Fi test ran for a little over 3.5 hours at full brightness, which is really not long. By comparison, the Apple MacBook Pro 16 with a similarly bright mini-LED panel lasted for more than 7 hours in SDR mode.
Overall, the larger Yoga Pro 9i 16 is inferior to its smaller sibling, and we don’t think it’s necessary. The difference in configurations is illogical, as the extra internal space should have been used to house a largerLenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 Laptop Batteryto make up for the reduced battery life caused by the larger display.
