The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 Gen 9 is a solid choice for video editing or 3D rendering

Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i Gen 9i 16 has the best multi-core CPU performance to date among Windows productivity laptops.

Full-sized keyboard, oversized touchpad, and loud, bassy Dolby Atmos -powered speakers round out the user experience.

However, the Yoga ’s battery life falls short and the hinge's limited flexibility may disappoint those anticipating tent or tablet mode.

The Yoga Pro 9i 16 Gen 9 carries six speakers that produce stereo sound with strong bass.

At maximum volume, the 2-watt speakers are incredibly loud for a laptop, but they remain clear without distortion.

The laptop's battery life is disappointing given the size and weight of the laptop.

For more modular options, consider the Framework Laptop 16 , a fully repairable gaming laptop.

The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 Gen 9 delivers class-leading multi-core performance but middle-of-the-pack battery life.

The bright and crisp mini-LED screen paired with the six -speaker Dolby Atmos -powered stereo sound makes the Yoga an excellent choice for entertainment.

A larger battery that reaches at least 10 hours of battery life would have been nice.
