Lenovo Yoga Book 9i 13″ (Gen 9, 2024) — the reliability-first dual-screen convertible
The Yoga Book 9i 13″ at $1,084 pairs an Intel Core Ultra 7 155U with 32 GB of RAM in the dual-display Yoga Book format. Reliability reads 77 — 57% above the convertible-class median, top quartile — and the 80 Wh battery is 48% larger than the class carries on average, a huge-band cell for a 13-inch convertible. Graphics log a zero: the scoring pipeline has no matched entry for the integrated GPU, a coverage gap rather than a literal score.
Where it holds up
Portability at 79 (high) is the strongest axis on the sheet, and office productivity follows close behind at 76.51 (high) — the twin pillars of a premium compact convertible. Photo design reads mid at 35 for screen-first creative work. The reliability-and-battery pairing is the real story: a machine built to be carried daily and trusted for years.
Where it falls short
The flagged weakness is graphics — the unmatched entry above — and the low bands frame the rest: gaming at 19, 3D modeling at 19 and engineering CAD at 25 all sit at the graphics floor of the format. Overall performance reads 31.96 (low), and value at 14.95 (low) says the dual-screen concept is priced well above its measured capability.
Price and depreciation
No depreciation anchor is recorded (base $0); no curve or projection applies. The 2024 cohort rate is 13.87% per year — a still-steep modern-premium slope with room left to fall.
Alternatives to consider
The Yoga Book 9i 14″ (Gen 10) at $1,275 moves to the 255H platform with an 88 Wh battery and 86 reliability. The Yoga Slim 9i 14″ (Gen 10) at $1,275 offers the same CPU tier in a classic clamshell with portability at 76.4. The Yoga 7i Gen 10 (14″) at $1,275 is the simpler, cheaper-feeling route to the same reliability reading.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. A reliability-led dual-screen convertible: 77 reliability and an 80 Wh cell with portability 79 leading the sheet — bought for the format and the trust, not for gaming 19 or the 14.95 value reading.
