Review

Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition (16″, Gen 11) in-depth review

The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition (16", Gen 11) is designed for users who need serious creator performance without moving to a bulky gaming laptop or a traditional mobile workstation. It combines a premium aluminum chassis, a 16-inch 3.2K Tandem OLED touchscreen, Intel Core Ultra H-series processors, and NVIDIA RTX 50-series graphics in a slim 16-inch body.Our configuration pairs the Intel Core Ultra 9 386H with the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU, a large 92.5Wh battery, and Lenovo’s huge glass ForcePad with pen support. On paper, this makes it a very capable machine for video editing, photo work, design, 3D rendering, AI-assisted workflows, and even some gaming after work.But powerful hardware inside a thin premium chassis always raises a few important questions: can the cooling sy[...]

Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

Step 1: Removing the bottom panelPower off the laptop and place it on a soft, clean surface. Undo the 10 Torx T5 screws securing the bottom panel. All screws are the same length, which makes reassembly easier. Use a thin plastic pry tool to carefully release the clips around the edges. Work slowly and avoid pushing the tool too deep inside, because the internal layout is dense and the motherboard sits close to the bottom panel. Lift the bottom cover away from the chassis.More info: The bottom cover has thermal pads that help transfer heat away from internal componen[...]
