Thanks so much. I'm trying to balance 2 channels right now which might be mistake. Just trying to figure things out right now in my personal life. I'm really loving it though and comments like this help a lot. Thanks!
Great video. Was thinking of getting the 7 where i will be doing data work. Not sure if there's a big difference for that kind of activity. If the main difference is in gaming then I'll probably go for the 7
That's probably a good idea. The 9i only had a slight edge in multicore. But the battery is nowhere near as good as the 7i. The big thing with the 9i is the oled screen. For data work, it's not worth the increased cost.
Great video, thanks so much for the comparison! Yes I am right now looking into buying a new laptop, do you buy any chance have any opinion on the yogas vs the HP omnibook flip?
You can spec the 7i with the same 2.8k OLED screen that's on the 9i. How do the speakers compare? Is the lack of a soundbar on the 7i a big difference in sound quality?
The speakers are certainly better on the 9i but you only notice it when compared side by side. The 7i on its own is very good. The OLED is a huge difference and worth the money in my opinion. Everything from work to content is much nicer to look at.
Both are all aluminum. Very solid and sturdy feeling. Do not feel cheap at all. As soon as you touch them and pick them up, they are clearly premium devices. The 9i is a bit more sleek, but both are very nice.
The Lenovo keyboards are really great. They do make the keyboard feel a little nicer on the higher 9i models, and the buttons are curved. You can't go wrong either way. I think Lenovo does some of the best keyboards in the business.
Damn sorry to hear that. I've had a pretty good time with the 4 Yogas I've had now. Only my yoga 900 from 2016 had the ssd die about 6 years later. Super easy and cheap fix. I upgraded from a 256 to a 512 gb nvme ssd. I even sold it after for $400. Great machines in my experience.
Under normal use they run cool and quiet. But as soon as you launch a game the fans spin up and pump out tons of heat. It's pretty toasty towards the back of the laptop where the functions keys are, the chip is right under there. But to be fair they are not really gaming laptops but I gamed for extended sessions while connected to a TV with a PS5 controller and my 9i and even old 7i both performed very well.
Thanks for making the minefield of choices clearer with everyday commonsense advice
Glad I could help!
Good comparison thank you!!
I'm glad you found it helpful!
The video is great, you need to keep promoting your channel. Is not hard.

@thejakobchannel I haven't used it, but in my experience, the Lenovo laptops are higher quality than HP.

Hello. Do have both full aluminum cover/chassis ? Apart for the keyboard, is it plastic feeling?
Both are all aluminum. Very solid and sturdy feeling. Do not feel cheap at all. As soon as you touch them and pick them up, they are clearly premium devices. The 9i is a bit more sleek, but both are very nice.
@@theproshopper Thanks and have a perfect year.
@@fredvs3124 Thanks you as well!
Nice comparison. Thank you. What about New keyboards on New 2024 Lenovo yogas?
The Lenovo keyboards are really great. They do make the keyboard feel a little nicer on the higher 9i models, and the buttons are curved. You can't go wrong either way. I think Lenovo does some of the best keyboards in the business.
Last 7i i had the hinge broke. That is why i went 9i instead

Do these overheat? Mostly good reviews, but a couple said they overheat
