Quote from Redflyer :
$350 premium over the yoga 71 and 2" smaller screen. Unless portability is a priority that's a much better deal than this 9i. Don't think that OLED screen is worth the price difference and it will drain your batteries much faster than an LCD + possible burn-in.
the 350 premium is worth it. The yoga 9i is beautiful machine IMO. I am preferring this over the macbook air or pro

I really thought about the LG gram and while thin and good battery life doesn't look as premium to me.

my thoughts as well. I played with the LG Gram at Costco. Its nice and thin but feels plasticky. This one feels solid and light. No flex. Mine should be coming tomorrow. Will let you guys know how it feels.

I'm waiting for my delivery now.

Got mine. It's beautiful. In regards to the screen, yes if I look really closely and get up close I can see the pixels/digitizer pattern. However, I can say the same thing about my desktop monitors being able to see the pixels if I look real close. Certainly if you get a 4k version those will be smaller and less noticeable. I'm going to keep mine, it doesn't seem like a big deal. As others have said, this is most apparent on white or gray backgrounds. On backgrounds with color you cannot tell. I compared it to my two year old HP Spectre, and I cannot see the digitizer on the Spectre even with a 1080p screen but on this I can.

What does everyone else see on their laptop? Do you notice the grid pattern from the digitizer?

The screen is 90hz. You have to change the refresh rate yourself. You also have to enable HDR.

Laptop working well. The wifi kept crapping out. When I first turned it on I couldn't connect and had to use a USB ethernet adapter to get past the setup screen. Then the wifi kept dying and I had to reset it and restart. Eventually I downloaded the drivers from Intel's website and for the last few hours it's been on working fine. If it does continue to die I might have to return/exchange it, but so far so good since I did the drivers.

I did a video playback test. I did a few hours and the battery was on track to last about 8 hours at 50% brightness for a 4k Youtube video.

Mine was just delivered about an hour ago. I do see the same thing in my screen especially on white backgrounds for the pixel/digitizer pattern thing. It is something I might be able to deal with. I'm trying to decide on if this 2.8k screen resolution paired with the 90hz refresh rate and bigger hard drive is worth keeping it over waiting for the 4k one I still have on order that I was just about to cancel.

I would imagine the 4k display should be much less noticable for the pixel/digitizer pattern and I'm sure battery life would be similar if using 90hz on this one.

I'm unsure if I go the one route like one person said they did about getting an exchange to see if the next one will be better with the display digitizer thing.

I'm gonna keep mine. TBH I don't think I would've noticed the digitizer except for reading about it.

From what I've read, 90hz does not affect battery life much, all the reviews say this one will have better battery life.

Bigger hard drives are usually faster as well, not that they're not all plenty fast. This is also the OEM version of the Samsung 980 pro so top of the line.

Yeah I think I would of not noticed it really if not reading about it too.
Was the first thing I looked for so I get what you mean.
I'm probably going to keep this one and cancel my other order.

Thanks for the info

I just noticed that when I rapidly press the 0 key it stops registering. I played around with it for a long time and eventually figured out that this key just needs more force to reliably register a keystroke.

I am returning this product today. Frown

I've been in the market for the perfect thin and light laptop for a few months now. I think this checks all those boxes for me. I actually loved it. It is beautiful, is very fast, has great speakers, and has a very capable touch experience.
Unfortunately, my unit's touchscreen stops working when in tent mode. Lenovo has no clue how to fix it and they don't have a replacement available as it's sold out. My only choice is to find another love like this.
