Pros and Cons

Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 3

Strengths

Good performance from the Intel i7 1260p CPU
Plenty of ports to keep you happy, including two Thunderbolt 4 USB C ports, HDMI 2.0 port, and a rare gigabit Ethernet port
Memory upgradeable on the Intel variant with one single SO-DIMM slot
Good display with an option to pay £20 for a brighter 400 nits and color accurate 100% sRGB panel
Decent security tools to protect your valuable data and privacy, including fingerprint sensor, IR camera, webcam privacy shutter, optional smart card reader, and Kensington Nano security slot
Long battery life of up to five to six hours of general use under performance mode

Weaknesses

Base model has a 45% NTSC display panel which may not be ideal for graphics work
Basic GPU (Nvidia t550) is not really suited for heavy workstation level work compared to the faster RTX A series found in larger mobile workstations like the ThinkPad P16
Fan noise can be an issue when running in performance mode, constantly on and impacting battery life and thermal heat
Battery life is poor considering it's aimed at on-the-go professionals
Display is average, so make sure you upgrade to a nicer 400 nits 100% sRGB panel instead
May not be the best choice if you need Ray tracing support or more powerful GPU for heavy workstation level work

Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i

Strengths

I like the amazing mini LED panel here with the 165 HZ refresh rate
I like the good GPU the CPU performance very good
I like the comfortable keyboard
I like the best-in-class speakers, wow they really blew me away

Weaknesses

The fan noise under heavy load is very noticeable and can be distracting
The ram is not upgradeable
PWM detected some screen wobble when you're typing
The meteor lake is slightly less performant than the 13 Gen processor, although it is more efficient and gives you better battery life
