Lenovo Pro 9i 16 G11 Aura Edition Review: A Pretty Screen Stuffed Into an Ugly Laptop
Lenovo is normally a company that’s willing to—if not break the mold—then stretch it with colorful and occasionally outlandish laptop designs. The Lenovo Pro 9i, aka the Legion Pro 916IPH11, ditches any hint of its “Yoga” language for no good reason (the name is still applied on this same laptop sold outside the U.S.). Lenovo wants to position this machine as a jack-of-all-trades laptop, and it certainly hits that mark—if the eponymous “Jack” in this case wasn’t all that fun at parties or didn’t have the social/physical battery to last a whole day of work.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Why should a creator’s laptop be boring? Lenovo is normally a company that’s willing to—if not break the mold—then stretch it with colorful and occasionally outlandish laptop designs. With the Lenovo Pro 9i 16 G11 Aura Edition, it feels as if some energy-vampire corporate type sucked the joy from what could have been a specialized and fun laptop and instead gave us a gray approximation of what such a creature imagines “professional” creatives…
