I have a Yoga/Slim Pro 9i using this chassis design and it's really nice. Huge trackpad, decent key travel, lots of ventilation. That said, it's not a true thinkpad in my opinion - yet another consumer laptop with thinkpad branding. The "aura edition" reinforces that, they are trying to make it into

Yup. Just bought a Yoga 9i and broke several of the tabs trying to get the back plate back on. What were they thinking trying to rely on so many little plastic tabs rather than adding 2 more screws?

Just FYI, not sure about this model, but the 258V laptops seem to have an issue with intermittent crashing under load: https://github.com/johnmeade/linux-yoga-9i-2-in-1-aura/issues/20, which I've experienced with the Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1. It's possible it's fixed for this model, since Lenovo is pro

Yes, the bottom cover is too small for Yoga Pro 9i, as its base sticks out by about 2-3 mm on each side, so the bottom part of the laptop is slightly larger than the lid, and the cover itself is made for IdeaPad series with smaller base. It is basically impossible to put it on

I had the Yoga pro 9i with 13905h and mini LED screen. I bought two factory-refurbished units. One for me and one for someone else. One had dark lines on the screen almost right away, and I had to send it in for repair. It came back with some deep scratches on the case. I ended up selling it a month

I do agree with the gaming laptop statement but the issue is that the Yoga Pro 9i isn't a gaming laptop, its a creator/professional device. Its suppose to get 8-10 hours. The issue was that I got less than 3 hours on idle with no tasks running. And the overheating only started after my laptop was se

Late to the party. I got the second gen 9i last year as soon as it came out because the previous model was a bit sluggish. Straight off the bat, build quality was not as good, battery life no better (for me) and there is a shitty jitter using the pen on the lower screen that cannot be fixed with sof

Just a quick heads up because I stumbled across it today: Lunar Lake hardware apparently has some freezing issues on kernel 6.18 https://github.com/johnmeade/linux-yoga-9i-2-in-1-aura/issues/20 https://discuss.cachyos.org/t/kernel-6-18-heads-up/19445/4 Just in case you were considering a Gen6... If

Even this is not consistent. Some of them like my older IdeaPad have 60%, whereas others like my Yoga Pro 9i have 80% as the only setting

I have immeasurable daily regrets. I've brought my 9i into Best Buy, Microsoft and independent laptop stores and none of them can find anything wrong with my laptop that needs fixing but it fails on me multiple times a week. Like it just won't turn on despite having ample-to-full battery and being p
