If you like 2-in-1 designs, the Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 will hit the spot. You can swing the screen around and use it like a tablet or prop it up like a tent, making it a rather versatile device. It has 16GB of RAM, 1TB of SSD storage, a crystal clear OLED display, and strong battery life. The 12th-gen Intel Core i7 processor seriously boosts performance, too, with four performance cores and eight efficiency cores. That’s more than enough for most programming needs. The 74 watt-hour battery is pretty big for a compact convertible as well. When we ran our battery rundown test, the machine died in about 12 hours. That’s more than a full work day. Although this laptop has a lot to offer, there are a few tiny caveats.
For one, the display’s 16:9 aspect ratio makes things feel a bit cramped. It’s not a huge deal, but we generally prefer taller displays, as it makes scrolling through documents and web pages a lot easier. It’s also difficult to get accustomed to the trackpad because of its small size. That said, if you can deal with those nitpicks, the Yoga 9i is a great machine worth considering.
