    Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 in-depth review

    The Lenovo Yoga 9i (14", Gen 9) hasn't changed much on the outside than the previous-gen sibling. That's fine because you get a well-built eye-catchy 2-in-1 machine that is also thin and light. The new things are hidden below the bonnet. At the time of writing this review, the only CPU option is the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H which is paired with the Intel Arc (8-Cores) iGPU. Since the processor has 16 cores and the integrated solution can give some low-end dGPUs a run for their money, we think that this device is powerful enough even for content creation and light gaming.The cooling system has two fans which should help in longer CPU loads.

The Phillips-head screws are located beneath the back rubber foot, which can be removed with a prying tool due to its attachment with plastic clips and double-sided tape. Gently lift the panel starting from one of the top corners to create an opening, then continue to pry along the sides, followed by the front and back, to remove the panel completely.BatteryDisconnect the battery connector from the motherboard.

    In addition to receiving efficient and health-friendly profiles, by buying LaptopMedia's products you also support the development of our labs, where we test devices in order to produce the most objective reviews possible.

    Office Work

    Office Work should be used mostly by users who spend most of the time looking at pieces of text, tables or just surfing. This profile aims to deliver better distinctness and clarity by keeping a flat gamma curve (2.20), native color temperature and perceptually accurate colors.

    Design and Gaming

    This profile is aimed at designers who work with colors professionally, and for games and movies as well. Design and Gaming takes display panels to their limits, making them as accurate as possible in the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standard for Web and HDTV, at white point D65.

    Health-Guard

    Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.
