Expert tester comments
Lenovo's Yoga 9i is a 14-inch laptop that can be converted into a tablet. It has a stylus built in to its body that can be used for writing and drawing tasks on the smooth screen. Performance is fast, with storage speeds being especially quick, and its battery life was long at just under 10 hours in our tests. It's a worthy choice for anyone after a capable convertible for everyday home office and school work tasks.
