I am expecting to buy the Yoga Pro 9i Gen 9 in Europe. Here we can get the RTX 4070, as well as 64 gb ram. The price difference between 32 gb ram and 64 is very little, but I was wondering if there are any backside of getting the 64 instead of the 32 gb ram? I will be using the laptop for architectural work: photoshop, blender (for rendering and animations), rhino ect. Hope to get your advice on this, and thank you for clarifying a lot of things in my search for the right laptop! :))
Are you having Wi-Fi issues? Specifically, the Wi-Fi service is breaking and disable and re enabling the driver temporarily fixes it and of course a reboot.
Yoga pro 9i vs 2023 zephyrus m16? Latter is available open box for a little over $1500 but you lose battery power, sd card, and gain a heavier overall package but you gain a 4080 at that price
Still prefer yoga pro 9i. Zephyrus fans can be unpredictable, not a fan of Asus software, and remember that the Yoga Pro 9i still gets 100W of power to the GPU. If you're going to play games at 4K resolution then sure, go for it.
Are you talking about a MacBook? People who need a MacBook will buy the M1/M2/M3/M4 no matter what. This is the more bang-for-your-buck Windows edition.
Thank you, I’m a graphic designer and in shopping mode, this helped a lot. Do you have a recommendation for a 360 or great pen support with dedicated gpu? Asus is expensive and they don’t have decent trade-in, meaning they don’t support their products, and it’s not just them, actually all big brands except Apple and Samsung.
I was hoping for a mid series refresh with amd zen 5 to get a little better battery but I think this is the laptop I'll likely go for. That or I saw the zephyrus m16 with a 4080 from last year is selling open box for $1500ish at BB. I'm conflicted because the battery will be even worse but at least you'd get the ability to have 64gb ram and a 4080 it I decided to run any local AI.
@@karikaru I don't game at all. Just basic web browsing and office work plus school. So yeah! This laptop is overkill. But it's so fast with a great resolution that it makes reading long papers so easy without being an OLED. Plus their 32GB Ram is future proof for tye next 5 years or so.
Do all screen versions have 60hz? Hmm... I don't know whether to buy this version or wait for the next one that is coming with the Intel Ultra 2 series. According to what I saw in another video, these processors are more efficient and give better battery performance. I don't know to what extent it is worth waiting for a next version. How many hours of battery life does it give under normal use?
I don’t recommend waiting for a version with the new architecture. Compromising cores for efficiency for slightly better single core performance and significantly worse multi-core performance is not worth it. Unless you are a writer or on the browser for a long time, you don’t need 5+ hours of battery life. The Yoga Pro 9i is in my opinion the best all-rounder laptop right. Battery is sweet as well.
Do Not Buy yoga pro 9 laptop , i am still regretting my purchase , These youtubers are all doing paid reviews , this laptop has many problems , first of all its screen colors are yellowish , Very Yellow colors that are not accurate , second its fans are below the laptop , you cannot work with it on bed etc , Its fans will get blocked , 3rd its power button is on side of laptop which is bad design , 4rth i started getting blue screen errors on it often, my use is normal and i do not do gaming stuff....

I can't believe how low your temperatures are... I like my Yoga Pro9 but fan noise is soo irritating, and no wonder the fans are on because the temps are so high even when doing nearly nothing... simple photoshop editing and you easily reach 90°C

Thanks!
In Norway, the Proart P16 with 64gb and 4070 costs approx 4000 USD whilst the Pro 9i with the same specs is 3000 USD. For me, it's a no-brainer.
In EU ASUS products are way overpriced, I imported my G16 from US and it came to around $1000 cheaper even with import cost
@JT11111 but doesn't come with nordic keyboard or 5 year guarantee (in Norway).
@@Marsbar2024 yea, im from Uk so keyboard layout makes no difference, and guarantee on G16 is never more than a year because of the OLED screen, so thats the trade off for getting it 1000+ USD cheaper
I bought my RTX 4060 Pro 9i for $1450, almost $1600 with all taxes/fees included. Maybe try importing from the US.

The Proart reads during a Yoga Pro 9i video, Savage!
The power button issue can be mitigated by going to BIOS and enabling power on when lid is open.
that will not prevent to power button to be activated when the lid is closed, but just able to power-on when lid open bro...
My whole point is that it doesn't matter if the physical power button fails completely.
I have the version with RTX 4060 and touch mini-LED. The only thing that bothers me is the very small up and down arrow keys that make browsing the codes and webpages very annoying. Everything else is great.

Even the touch model is clamshell. This one isn't a 2-in-1, no matter what config you choose. 180° lay flat hinge across all configs.
Hey Ben, there is a Yoga Pro 7i but it seems only available in Europe. It has all the specs same as Yoga Pro 9i but just 14" Can you check it ?
Does autocad, revit, sketchup and enscape work on it since it is core ultra 9 ?

I don't think there's downside to 64GB ram. Most people won't appreciate the difference, tho. The power consumption of RAM in idle is negligable.
@@ayasugihada Thanks a lot!
But 64 ram is no longer available in US, thoughts on that?,
Your review was for 32 or 64 ram?. Is it worth waiting to see if it becomes available again in US.

Im going to try the yoga pro 9i open box. In excellent condition from Best Buy. I'm hoping it comes in without any issues
One issue I see is that the HDMI doesn't seem to be able to do the full HDMI speed. It looks like it may be CPU only.

The only problem with the asus pro art p16 and the reason I’m not getting it is the very low refresh rate, 60hz for not a cheap laptop is crazy low

The power button on the side is a bad design choice. I've had my laptop's power button damaged in the past as it was in the exact same position.
I recommend going into BIOS to see if there is an option for enabling power on when lid is open.
After 5-6 years on MacBook Pro I'm considering this device, but I can't be at peace with returning to hearing fans.
