The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i Gen 11 Aura Edition is built around demanding creative work: in a review published October 16, 2026, TechRadar’s Collin Probst reported responsive editing on an NVIDIA RTX 5060 configuration, including several 4K video tracks in DaVinci Resolve. He also described the laptop as heavy and expensive, making portability and price meaningful trade-offs. TechRadar’s review
Creative work in the reviewed configuration
Probst reported that he could move between editing tasks in DaVinci Resolve without excessive loading, processing, or rendering. He also described benchmarking, large photo files, terminal sessions, heavy LLM use, and multiple applications as workloads that did not produce noticeable slowdowns. These are qualitative observations from his review, not standardized benchmark results. Under heavy workloads, he said the fans became audible.
That account makes the Yoga worth considering if your work can use a dedicated GPU and a large OLED screen. It doesn’t tell you how every configuration will perform: the review unit had an NVIDIA RTX 5060, a 16-inch OLED touchscreen, and a 120 Hz display, while Lenovo’s product family includes options that vary by model.
Display, pen input, and carrying it
Probst praised the reviewed unit’s OLED display and 120 Hz motion. He also found the Force Pad and Yoga Pen Gen 2 combination precise after about two minutes of adjusting to drawing on the pad while watching the screen. Lenovo describes the Force Pad as a drawing surface that uses Wacom technology with the Yoga Pen Gen 2.
The creative features come in a substantial laptop. Lenovo lists a starting weight of 1.90 kg, and Probst said he would not want to commute with it all day. He also flagged a fingerprint-prone screen and memory that cannot be upgraded. If you carry your computer between locations every day, those drawbacks deserve as much attention as the display and graphics.
Lenovo’s listed specifications
Lenovo’s Spanish product listing gives these family-level specifications and options. They should not be read as a description of every configuration or of Probst’s specific review unit.
| Specification | Lenovo-listed value | Scope |
| Optional display | 16-inch 3.2K Tandem OLED; up to 120 Hz and 1,600 nits HDR peak brightness | Optional, and not available on every model |
| Battery | 92.5 Wh | Product-family specification |
| Weight | From 1.90 kg | Starting configuration weight |
| Dimensions | As thin as 17.2 mm; 360.6 × 247.9 mm footprint | Dimensions vary by configuration |
| Ports | Two Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1, two USB-A, and an SD UHS-II card reader | Product-family listing |
| Wireless | Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 | Product-family listing |
For creators, the ports offer room to connect peripherals and use an SD card reader without making a separate hub part of the listed setup. The optional Tandem OLED is the display configuration to look for if its resolution and HDR specification matter to your work; Lenovo says it is not offered on every model.
US price and who it suits
TechRadar’s October 16, 2026 review reported a US starting price of $2,499.99 and said its review unit cost just over $3,000. The higher figure describes the configuration Probst used; the review reports the starting price separately.
The Yoga’s mix of dedicated graphics, OLED, and pen input is best aligned with creative work that can make use of those features. For general professional use, Probst recommended considering the ThinkPad T14s or T16 instead.
