The Eluktronics RP-15 offers a balance of performance and value, with a powerful AMD Ryzen 7 processor and Nvidia RTX 4060 graphics, making it suitable for gaming and engineering tasks. Its 165Hz QHD display is great for fast-moving visuals, though it lacks touch capability. It's also more portable than some gaming laptops, with a reasonable weight and battery life. However, its screen isn't as bright or color-accurate as some alternatives, and it doesn't have the premium build quality of higher-end models. In contrast, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i is a premium business laptop with a high-resolution Mini LED touchscreen that boasts excellent color accuracy and brightness, ideal for professionals who need a vibrant and precise display for content creation or review. The inclusion of an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and Nvidia RTX 4050 graphics means it can handle a variety of tasks well, though it may not match the gaming and engineering performance of the RP-15 due to its less powerful GPU. It's also heavier and has a shorter battery life, which could impact its portability. The Yoga Pro 9i's build quality, keyboard, and speaker quality are top-notch, and it includes facial recognition for added security. If you prioritize superior display quality, touchscreen functionality, and a premium build for general use and light gaming or creative work, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i is the way to go. However, if you need stronger gaming and engineering performance in a more affordable and portable package, the Eluktronics RP-15 would be the better choice, despite its less impressive display and build quality.

Eber Anthony | October 2020
"To conclude, I’m genuinely impressed with Eluktronics and what they have been able to deliver with the RP-15. You see this is all about maximizing performance, cooling, and giving users the most flexible I/O, and then wrapping it into a chassis that doesn’t feel super cheap. Let’s also not forget the price point, I think they have really nailed it in that department."
