Customer Ratings & Reviews

This laptop is the best laptop for College student. This has great in both performant and battery life up to 8-10 hours. It has 3 different modes including: Save power, Cooling Down, and Strong performant. It also has a very cool AI, and really good FaceId and PrintID. There is also a pen that go with the laptop that " hind under the charger box, make sure you check because bestbuy doesn't even know:)"

Great replacement to my older Acer series from 2013 that was just too slow for todays standards. Light and powerful for most duties and flexible for others

TLDR: It's a great laptop. The drawing experience is wonderful, the pen has been vastly improved. You'd think the chipset is the only major update, but they've made a lot of little tweaks that truly makes this one of the best machines you can buy at the moment. The pros: It's beautiful. I love the blue. Blue isn't for everyone, but it beats the greys and blacks of other laptops. Lenovo always makes great keyboards. For me it's more comfortable than any Dell XPS keyboards. The keyboard being shifted over for the extra 'special' keys are hit or miss. You never hear reviews of the F-row keys, but Lenovo does a good job on those as well. I've never needed a dedicated play/pause button, as the spacebar works just as well. Extra keys are redundant. The screen is great. I like that we get the 32gb combination with the 120 hertz refresh rates. The 4k screen slowed down performance in the last iteration of this laptop. The sound bar is second to few. I like that it's clear but also facing you. It's loud almost to a fault. It's good that it gets loud and punchy, but if I want it quieter at night when I'm browsing video clips, I want a space just between low volume and silent, so I don't wake anyone else up around me. There are so many other laptops where I want more, only to realize it's already up all the way. That is not the case with this laptop. The large single hinge also gives me peace of mind, most other 2-in-1's have two smaller hinges on the side. They have issues, where people believe their laptops are named after those H.inge P.roblems. I like that in the display models of Lenovo 2-in-1s, you can gently shake it, and generally the monitor stays put better than most. I like the 14in form factor. I miss the 12 and 13inch laptops, but it's not for everyone, 14 is the sweeter spot, I guess for most people. I don't understand why 2-in-1s come in 16in models. It becomes too big and heavy, especially in tablet mode. Speaking of which, a true star of this tablet; the pen! Oh how it's been improved. If you want a casual drawing tablet, this may be it. The palm rejection has been pushed up. The smoothness is wonderful, especially compared to it's previous iterations. Drawing is now a joy on this laptop. It's better than the Surface Pro, which used to be the high standard for drawing laptop. Speaking of the Surface Pro, here I go comparing it to other similar laptops: The Surface Pro could be better. Mainly I wish the 32gb versions were more readily available. I wanted to like it more, but it always seemed to fall short. I'd open that one last extra tab in Chrome and instantly regret it. I don't hate the form factor of the Surface Pro, but the Snapdragon Elite chip falls short in compatibility issues. With updates, it's gotten to 90% not an issue, but if you use anything on that 10%, it becomes frustrating. Also, battery life leaves so much to be desired. It's better, but not great. So in those regards, this is the better choice. The next in line is the Asus PX13. This is why I struggle with Intel. The PX13 has a chip that is almost a year old, and it still beats Intel's newest chipsets in most benchmarks. Especially when it matters. It's probably not fair, since the PX13 uses AMD's HX370, which is meant to rival intel's i9, not the i7 in this laptop, but I wish benchmarks were closer, considering the age difference between the two chipsets. Ultimately, if you're using a laptop for heavier workloads, the px13 may be for you. With that being said, the palm rejection when drawing on ASUS laptops with a pen has always been a miss. It makes no sense since the series is called "ProArt". Also, at the end of the day, you have the 60hz refresh on the Asus and the 120hz on this Aura Edition laptop. It makes a difference when doing graphic work. Also, the wifi card in the Px13 kinda suck. For one reason or another, wifi7 cards don't like AMD laptops. I wanted to swap out it out to get a better bluetooth connection (the wifi and bluetoosh upgrade is one in the same) my choices seem limited. Samsung makes for a great argument in their pro 360 lines when it comes to pen support. As far as Windows pens-in an all one package goes, no one beats the S-pen. Unfortunately, you have a heavily Samsung skinned version of windows, which is fine tuned, but heavier than most laptops in a similar configuration. Also they don't make anything with 32gb. On top of that, the 16in screen feels massive in tablet mode, but the screen is also too heavy for drawing in canvas mode. Of course, then there is the HP Omnibook flip. What can I say? HP. You'll have those HPs. When I say HP, i mean Hinge Problems. I just have little confidence in HP laptops, especially in the long run. I've never played around floor models and felt confident about them in the long run. Granted sales floor models go through a bit more abuse than a laptop you'd take home with you, HP models always seem more 'abused' than it's competitors. Perhaps its just me. Also, the Yoga 9i comes with a pen. Neither the ProArt Px13 nor Omnibooks come with a pen included. Windows surface pens work with both, Lenovo and Dell use a different pen protocol. All that being said, I wish Intel chips were better than they currently are. They are great for adaptability. You won't have the compatibility issues that Snapdragons have. I wish it put more pressure on AMD when it comes to performance, but when it comes to the 2-in-1 form factors I like, my options seem limited through Best Buy. Here is the other issue; Intel is playing the confusing naming and numbering game that I don't like. This laptop is using the "V" model chip, which before used to be the "U" series. Previous versions of the Yoga 9i's used the "H" series of Intel chips. The "H" series was more performance forward, while the "U" series scarified performance for battery life. I personally prefer performance over battery life. There used to be a larger gap between plugging it in vs battery life when it came to performance, and Intel seems to have closed that gap somewhat. In order to make up for that battery life, Intel has also tweaked apps. Imagine a car telling you it gets great gas mileage, but you later find out it's not as good if you put in the seats. Intel played a similar trick. Some of these tweaks I don't mind, some of them I had to change in settings. I know things can only get better with driver updates, so I am hopeful on things to come. For now the whole re-naming/re-numbering scheme is something I am not a huge fan of. All that being said, once I got this laptop to where I wanted it, it has been an absolute joy, especially once I removed McAfee. No one needs McAfee, no own wants McAfee. There's a chance I'm removing a full star for McAfee, with only part of the complaints coming from the aforementioned Intel things. Honestly, Windows security does well enough on its own. This laptop does exactly what I need with (almost) the right amount of power. I don't know why the keyboard is so much bigger than the screen, but that may be me nitpicking. It's nice and lightweight, and built like a tank. Not sure how laptops shopping will be the next few years, but if you hate MacOS like me, this will be a great laptop for most people.

The short story: If you're contemplating buying this over another windows machine or a MacBook Air, buy this. Why? Lenovo laptops in general have great keyboards, but in the era of low travel mushy keys; this one sticks out on the 9i Aura, it is very tactile and has amazing travel. It's also not loud or "clicky" sounding like apple laptops or other laptops with low travel keyboards. Seriously, this is probably one of the best laptop keyboards I've typed on, and I've had many laptops. Lenovo's really bringing their expertise from ThinkPads into the consumer area and I'm totally here from it. Oh, I forgot to mention Lenovo's signature smile shaped keys are here too, so it makes it easy to press the right key when typing fast. The trackpad is big, but it's nothing fancy. Not haptic either which is a bummer; but it does have a nice click, not cheap feeling at all. The speakers and display are probably where the device shines the most; alongside the keyboard of course: Unlike other OLED displays from HP and Dell, this one does not struggle in direct sunlight. Colors pop, contrast is great, and the pen is another great tool for students and creative types. It also has a high 144 HZ refresh rate with an optional dynamic mode where the display can adapt it's refresh rate to save on power when needed. I did not notice a screen-door effect that other OLED displays from HP and Dell seem to have when white content is on the screen. Also, it's comfortable to look at with no PWM flickering (It's EyeSafe certified) Speakers are DolbyAtmos tuned and support spatial audio. They are AMAZING. Lenovo also put in a soundbar beneath the screen that rotates with the display the full 360 degrees, so you have the great sound in all use modes. This is something only Lenovo does to my knowledge. The OmniBook Ultra Flip has bottom-firing speakers, so that 2-in-1 as a tablet, the speakers are blocked by the screen; that was ultimately what lead me to the 9i Aura I knew the speakers were good, but I was still shocked when I first heard them out of the box. No distortion even at the highest volume, bass is amazing but not overly dramatic and blown out like other laptops can be Battery life is amazing, it also supports Lenovo's fast charging technology which is great for power users who need to charge up quickly. I'm getting about 12-14 hours. Intel's really doing a lot here for improved efficiency here, and it shows in these Aura branded laptops from Lenovo. I'm a student and having a 2-in-1 has made it very easy to summarize notes. The pen is great: easy to hold, matching blue color, which by the way, is stunning on both the laptop and pen; The pen attaches magnetically to the lid with a strong hold, it stays attached even in my backpack, so no need to dig through your bag to find it. Also, the device pairs with both iPhones and Android phones via either Intel Unison or Phone Link, the latter of which comes installed out of the box. Since this is an Aura Edition branded laptop, If you use intel unison, you can transfer photos by tapping the side of your phone on the side of the screen, it's that easy. No more emailing files to yourself either, file transfer works in seconds too. Mind you, I'm and iPhone user and have has no issues with the integration. The price is the main drawback: Laptops have gotten expensive due to recent events, but in my opinion buying this SKU on sale is a great buy. Even if you buy this at full MSRP, you're getting 32GB of RAM, 1TB of storage, absolutely amazing speakers, and great battery life too.

Will keep it short. I am coming from macbook pro 14 M2 Pro but always missed the Windows OS and something about MacOS just doesn't feel right to me. The blue color is amazing and the laptop looks different because of that. The screen colors, resolution and refresh rate are fantastic and looks much better than the mac. But the reflections are much more pronounced. The keyboard is also much better than mac with longer key travel and the screen doesnt wobble when typing. The trackpad is a little less precise but overall is aa good trackpad. I have used the touch screen and the pen for a little bit and they work flawlessly and notes taking is a breeze. The build quality is also nice but not as nice as the macbook pro which is probably the best in any laptop. The laptop is silent even while installing softwares and during any general tasks (I don't think I have heard the fans since I got it about a week back). Given a new entry macbook pro and this laptop is the same price, this gives you a lot more for the money. OLED screen, better keyboard, touchscreen, 2in1, pen, 32 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD, I think this is a no brainer. I was considering Asus zenbook and Samsung Pro before this but the price for similar configurations was same for those as well and given no price difference, going for Lenovo which everyone knows how to make a great laptop was the choice for me.

Love this laptop. I use it as a secondary system with an M4 Pro Macbook Pro, so I can give a brief comparison between the two, since they are similarly priced: 1. For most tasks, this laptop will keep up with the M4, except very GPU/computationally intense ones. 2. The display is amazing. Good response times, very comparable to the Macbook Pro, but the OLED screen on this laptop adds a new level. 3. The stylus is excellent and I found myself using it in tablet mode pretty often. 4. While the speakers are not as well-rounded as the Macbook Pro, they're VERY close and sound brilliant. 5. The Macbook's trackpad experience is better, but I prefer the keyboard on the Lenovo. 6. The 32 GB of RAM is perfect for my workflow. 7. While the Macbook's battery lasts me 15 hours under a moderate workload, this laptop gives me close to 10 hours of screen on time. I've heard this laptop can handle some games, but I am yet to test that. The added privacy features, Windows Hello camera + fingerprint, gorgeous display, and general performance are all excellent.

They actually hide the pen under the charging case. So check it out!!!

After weeks of watching glowing YouTube reviews, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this laptop—unfortunately, reality didn’t quite match the hype. Let’s start with the positives: It’s undeniably sleek, with a stunning display (though I never came close to the advertised 1100-nit HDR brightness in real use) and a keyboard/speaker combo that’s top-tier for premium laptops. Where things unravel is the Lunar Lake processor. For a chip touted as cutting-edge, it struggles with basic multitasking. During simple tasks like installing apps or opening browser tabs, I noticed persistent stuttering. Task Manager revealed constant CPU spikes to 100%—a frustrating sight on a brand-new device. What’s more, this isn’t an isolated issue: My previous experience with the HP Omnibook (also Lunar Lake 256V) showed identical hiccups, making me wonder if the platform itself is half-baked. Reviewers claimed the fans stay whisper-quiet, but mine spin up frequently—not jet-engine loud, but audible enough to break focus during light work. It’s puzzling how this wasn’t flagged in professional tests. Despite giving this laptop a fair shot, I’ve returned to my Surface Pro 11 with Snapdragon X Elite. Night-and-day difference: Instant wake-ups, zero fan noise, and buttery smooth performance that makes Windows on Arm feel right for once. While there are still app compatibility quirks, the trade-off for silent, consistent power is worth it. This could’ve been a home run, but between the undercooked processor and inconsistent thermals, it feels like Intel and OEMs are still playing catch-up. If you prioritize silence and fluidity over raw specs, ARM laptops might already have the edge.

I have been using this laptop for around 2 weeks and so far I am loving it! Really sleek design, very responsive, amazing battery life, not too noisy or hot, beautiful display and sounds quality. The 2 in 1 feature is great for notetaking as a student!

I liked this laptop very much so far. Excellent screen, speakers, pen support, good battery, nice keyboard. Missing haptic touchpad and sometimes facing fingerprint not working issue during system restart, hope it will be fixed soon through software update. Price was little high but its ok.

Solid build quality, sturdy hinge, great battery life, beautiful screen. Haven't found andy negatives yet and if i do ill update the review

I'll start with good but after mastering all the feature I might rate it "excellent." Very good screen, responsive keyboard, fast processor. Nice to have the pen included.

Perfect for college, long lasting battery and amazing OLED display, my son loves it.

Good, stable machine. Have had no problems. Loads quickly.
