How does it compare with the previous Yoga Pro 9i?

The Gen 11 Aura Edition moves to a newer Intel CPU and keeps the 16-inch high-refresh screen and NVIDIA graphics. The jump in RAM to 64GB is the main reason to pick it over older models.

Is the 64GB drive enough?

No for most people. A 64GB drive fills quickly with video projects, games or photo libraries, so plan on external storage or a different configuration.

Does it have a touchscreen?

Yes. The 16-inch panel is a touchscreen with a 120Hz refresh rate, which suits editing and scrolling but drains battery faster.

What ports does it have?

USB-A, USB-C, HDMI and a 3.5mm headphone jack. That covers most monitors and accessories without a dongle.

Is the Yoga Pro 9i Gen 11 Aura Edition worth it?

Only if you need 64GB of RAM and a discrete NVIDIA GPU in a 16-inch touchscreen laptop. It is priced like a workstation, so check whether a lower-RAM configuration covers your work.

Is the quad-core CPU a problem?

It is the weakest part of the spec sheet. For heavy rendering or compiling, a higher-core processor will finish faster, so weigh the RAM and GPU against the core count.
