The Lenovo Yoga9i14Gen7 gains from Intels 12th-gen in its productivity speed. But the Microsoft SurfaceLaptopstudio pulls ahead with its discrete GPU.
The 2-in-1 laptop has certainly come into its own in recent years. Gone are the days of compromise, when you needed to give up performance and battery life to enjoy the flexibility of a laptop that can morph from a clamshell into a tablet. Many of the best 2-in-1s now end up on our best laptops list, and the Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 and Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio are serious contenders for it.
That’s another area of distinction. Lenovo completely revamped the Yoga 9i 14’s design in its seventh generation, moving from the typical angular chassis edges to one where the bottom chassis has completely rounded chrome edges that are both striking in appearance and very comfortable in use. The display edges are a little more angular, giving the 2-in-1 a distinct aesthetic from the side. The Surface Laptop Studio is more traditional in its angles, which are sharper, sleek, and modern.
Connectivity favors the Yoga 9i 14 Gen 7 with its USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 port, USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port, two USB-C 4.0 ports with Thunderbolt 4 support, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The Surface Laptop Studio has just two USB-C with Thunderbolt 4 ports, a proprietary Surface Connect connection, and a 3.5mm audio jack. Neither laptop offers SD card support, unfortunately. The Yoga is also more up-to-date in wireless standards, with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 compared to Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1.
That makes the Yoga 9i 14 Gen 7 a much faster machine for demanding productivity applications, and it will perform better in creative applications that can’t make use of a discrete GPU. But crank up the RTX 3050 Ti, and the Surface Laptop Studio pulls ahead. Creative types will appreciate the Yoga’s display for its wide and accurate colors and deep contrast, while anyone who regularly writes on their display will like the Surface Laptop Studio’s panel. We find both to be excellent displays, but to us, OLED usually wins out.
