Reviewers from digitaltrends have found the following***:
The Yoga 9i is even faster than the Yoga C940, which was already among the fastest 2-in-1s you can buy. Lenovo worked some magic with the thermals to squeeze out every ounce of performance, and it shows. The touch display is responsive and supports all of Windows 10's multitouch gestures.

Pros
  • Powerful CPU and GPU
  • Excellent sound
  • Great battery life
Cons
  • No 4K display option
  • Battery life could be better

Reviewers from pcmag have found the following***:
The Lenovo Yoga 9i combines robust processing and performance with robust design. It's faster than even the newer-generation Core i7-1165G7 in the Dell. Like all 15-inch convertibles, it's somewhat bulky and awkward, but that's OK.

Pros
  • Attractive design
  • Good battery life
  • Comfortable keyboard
  • Long-lasting battery
Cons
  • Lackluster graphics performance
  • No Thunderbolt 3 port

Reviewers from techradar have found the following***:
There are only three ports and a 3.5mm headphone/microphone combo jack. Two of those ports are USB Type-Cs with Thunderbolt 4 support which also features charging. There's no HDMI output, so you'll have to rely on one of the Thunderbolt ports to output to an external display but it does feature DisplayPort 1.4 support. The Active Pen charges in the dock, getting 40 minutes of use off 15 minutes of charge.

Pros
  • Gorgeous 16:10 FHD+ display
  • Excellent battery life
  • Excellent performance
Cons
  • No Thunderbolt 4
