Lenovo Yoga 9 (14″, 2023) review – fantastic build quality, efficiency, and performance
Performance: CPU, GPU, Gaming Tests
CPU options
We found this laptop only with the Intel Core i7-1360P. It has 4 P-cores and 8 E-cores for a total of 16 threads (the P-cores support Hyperthreading).
Results are from the Cinebench R23 CPU test (the higher the score, the better)
GPU options
Respectively, there are no dedicated GPU options, which “leaves” you with the integrated solution inside the aforementioned Core i7 CPU.
The results are from 3DMark Time Spy (Graphics). Higher is better.
Results are from 3DMark Fire Strike (Graphics) benchmark (higher the score, the better)
The results are from 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Unlimited. Higher is better.
Results are from the Unigine Superposition benchmark (higher the score, the better)

Are the transistors on the board till poor as they were with previous ‘chinayogas’ ?

The screen has super high friction which makes it hard to write (nothing like the smooth feeling of an iPad or Samsung tablet/convertible). -The included pen (precision pen 2) turns itself off while writing even if its fully charged (should… Read more »
