Pros and Cons

Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 2

Strengths

The laptop's visual design is rarely changed, but the ThinkPad E14 Gen 2 offers a Thunderbolt 4 port and upgraded internals in the same rigid chassis.
The machine is surprisingly light, weighing around 1.6 kilos and having a thickness of under 19 millimeters.
The keyboard is great, typically found on Thinkpad devices, and this one is no exception.
The laptop offers excellent upgrade options, including one SODIMM slot for memory upgrades and two M2 storage slots.
The 1080p IPS display has wide viewing angles and a good contrast ratio of 1150:1.
The processor can run at 3.6 GHz for more than 15 minutes straight thanks to the cooling solution.

Weaknesses

The laptop's battery life is underwhelming, lasting less than seven hours of web browsing or about five hours of video playback.
The display covers only 50% of the sRGB gamut, resulting in a dull-looking image.
Despite its capable hardware, the top model featuring an Intel Core i7-1165G7 and NVIDIA GeForce MX450 is not available in this specific review unit.
The laptop's battery life could be better compared to other similar devices.
The display doesn't use PWM for brightness adjustment, but it may still cause eye strain for some users.

Lenovo Yoga 9i

Strengths

The Lenovo Yoga 9i has an excellent display with two options to choose from
It offers excellent battery life
The audio quality is superb, thanks to the rotating Soundbar
The Cosmic blue finish is stunning and looks great on this 2-in-1 convertible

Weaknesses

One of the few cons is that the Lenovo Yoga 9i does not have a haptic touchpad
Another con is that the review is waiting for new PCs running the Snapdragon X Elite processor to compare with
Some users might find the placement of the fingerprint scanner on the right side annoying when typing
The lack of a head-to-head comparison with other popular 2-in-1 convertibles like the HP Spectre X360
