The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i offers a high-resolution Mini LED display with touchscreen capabilities and a 16:10 aspect ratio, making it excellent for general use and creative work, with superior color accuracy and brightness. It's also more portable due to its slightly smaller size and lighter weight, and it has a backlit keyboard without a number pad, which some may prefer for its compactness. The Yoga Pro 9i's hardware, including an Intel Core Ultra 7 and Nvidia RTX 4050, provides a balance of performance suitable for light gaming, 3D tasks, and engineering applications. It has a good battery life for typical usage and a premium build quality. On the other hand, the Razer Blade 15 is designed with gaming and high-performance tasks in mind. Its Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti GPU outperforms the Yoga Pro 9i's RTX 4050, making it a better choice for intensive gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning tasks. The Blade 15's 144Hz refresh rate IPS display is ideal for fast-motion content, although it falls short in color accuracy compared to the Yoga Pro 9i. It's slightly heavier and larger, which may affect portability, but it includes an Ethernet port and more USB-C ports, which could be beneficial for connectivity. The keyboard includes a number pad and has a better quality score, which is advantageous for those who require more precise input. In summary, if you prioritize portability, a superior display for creative work, and longer battery life, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i is the better choice. However, if your focus is on gaming and performance-intensive tasks, and you can compromise on portability and display color accuracy, the Razer Blade 15 would be more suitable. Give Feedback

NotebookCheck
Allen Ngo | March 2022
"The 2022 Blade 15 offers roughly 15 to 25 percent faster graphics performance and 20 percent faster CPU performance over last year's Core i7-11800H and RTX 3080 model. Thankfully, the system doesn't need to run noticeably louder or warmer to achieve faster results, but both power consumption and battery life take a hit. The higher consumption in particular appears to be a trend amongst many 12th gen Core laptops including the Schenker Uniwill Technology GM7AG8P or MSI Vector GP66 when compared to their previous generation counterparts. We're also glad to not see below-average CPU performance which was the case for the 10th gen Core i7-10875H model."
