The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i offers a balance of performance and portability with its upper midrange price point, making it suitable for general use and light gaming or machine learning tasks. Its Mini LED display with a resolution of 3200 x 2000 and touchscreen capability is excellent for everyday tasks and has good color accuracy, though it may not match the MSI's for professional color grading. The included Nvidia RTX 4050 GPU provides decent graphics performance, and the laptop's compact size, light weight, and good battery life make it highly portable. In contrast, the MSI Titan GT77 is a powerhouse designed for intensive tasks such as high-end gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning, thanks to its top-tier Intel i9-13980HX processor and Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU. The 4K Mini LED display, while not a touchscreen, offers superior brightness and color space coverage, ideal for professionals who need precise color reproduction. However, its high-end price, heavier weight, and larger dimensions make it less portable, and the battery life is significantly shorter than the Lenovo's. If you prioritize portability, versatility, and a balance between performance and price for general use, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i is a strong contender. However, if you require uncompromising performance for demanding tasks and can compromise on portability and price, the MSI Titan GT77 is the way to go. Give Feedback

Andreas Osthoff | February 2023
"The MSI Titan GT77 HX 13V is the utimate gaming laptop with RTX 4090 & Core i9-13950HX. The new MSI Titan GT77 will most likely only reach a very small group of users due to the high price, but it is still an impressive showcase of what is possible. The high-end gamer combines the best components you can currently get in almost every regard and it is a very good overall package, which does not have to hide behind full-fledged desktop systems."
