The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i offers a high-resolution Mini LED display with touchscreen capabilities, excellent color coverage, and a high refresh rate, making it ideal for general use and creative work that benefits from a vibrant and accurate screen. It's also portable, with a slim design and good battery life. However, its Nvidia RTX 4050 GPU may not satisfy intense gaming or engineering tasks as much as the MSI Vector GP76, which boasts a more powerful Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti and a larger screen, albeit with a lower resolution and without touch functionality. The MSI's larger RAM and storage capacities cater to more demanding applications, and it has better thermal management for sustained performance during intensive tasks. If portability and a superior display are your priorities, the Lenovo is the way to go, but for raw performance in gaming, 3D rendering, or machine learning, the MSI Vector GP76 is the more suitable choice.

Marvin Gollor | May 2022
"The MSI Vector GP76 12UGS is a gaming laptop on speed. The advantages are clear: The Vector GP76 is a real gamer with its 360 Hz display and super-fast response times. In addition, the Core i7-12700H has double the power of the CPU in its predecessor and another highlight is the Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti with a real power consumption of 150 watts. This places the device in the top range of our database. The Vector can also operate rather quietly, offers a full sound range, improved battery runtimes, a key-configurable RGB keyboard, a very stable chassis and good upgrade options. Moreover, the display produces a nice, rich and clear picture."
