Lenovo Slim Pro 9i 16

Good laptop for power users, BUT in 2024 it's name has been changed to Yoga Pro 9i. That version, has Intel's newer Core Ultra processor. It is significantly better than this laptop because it delivers the same performance but requires less power to achieve that. So that mean it has longer battery life and less heat you feel. Therefore only buy this 2023 model if it's on a big sale i.e. $1,800 USD or less.

Additional pros are that it has a large bright Mini-LED screen with a fast refresh rate. Powerful components inside. Doesn't get overly hot to the touch nor have annoying fan noise. Good comfortable keyboard without any weird layout.

Cons are that its a little heavy compared to the new Asus G16 for 2024, and its ports aren't the best. Only one USB C port. The port issue is solved in the 2024 version.
