Weaknesses

No specific cons listed for this device

Lenovo Slim Pro 9i

Strengths

The laptop has a great design with rounded edges, metallic gray color, and a camera bar that makes it easy to open single-handedly.
The display is a 14.5 in 3K resolution at 16:10 aspect ratio with 165 HZ refresh rate, making everything look smoother.
The laptop has several ports for connectivity, including HDMI, USB-C, and an SD card reader, which is great for video editors.
The keyboard is great, with good key travel, spacing, and layout, and the function keys are well-chosen and useful.
The speakers on this laptop are some of the best I've heard on a laptop, with loud and clear sound.

Weaknesses

The laptop has some heft to it, making it less portable than others in its class.
There is only one Thunderbolt 4 port, which might be limiting for some users.
The right side of the touchpad sounds a little hollow compared to the left side.
The battery life is around 5 hours, which is not great but not too bad either.
The display has a slightly yellow tint, especially on web pages and documents, although this might be an issue specific to my review unit.

Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 3

The Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 3 offers impressive portability, weighing just 1.32kg and measuring 17.1mm thick. Its aluminum lid is sturdy, while the rest of the body features a plastic reinforced with glass fibers. With a great keyboard, long key travel, and spill resistance, this convertible laptop makes for an excellent office device or daily driver.

Lenovo Slim Pro 9i

The Lenovo Slim Pro 9i is an incredibly close-to-perfect laptop for creators. Its rounded edges and metallic great color are a refreshing change from traditional ThinkPad designs. The high-resolution webcam and spacious touchpad add to its appeal. However, one major flaw holds it back: the display's slightly yellow tint on the white color setting. A minor calibration issue or isolated problem?
