Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 (2024) vs Samsung Galaxy Book4 Ultra
The Verdict
Lenovo's Yoga 9i 14 targets portability and versatility at $1499, while Samsung's Galaxy Book4 Ultra prioritizes raw performance and screen real estate at $2399.99. The Yoga 9i weighs just 1.39 kg compared to the Book4 Ultra's 1.86 kg, making it considerably easier to carry. Its 14-inch 2.8K OLED display delivers vibrant colors with 400 nits brightness and 90Hz refresh, while the Book4 Ultra counters with a larger 16-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel at 120Hz, also 400 nits. Battery life slightly favors the Yoga 9i at 14 hours versus 13 hours. Performance differences emerge in the processors: the Yoga 9i uses Intel Core Ultra 7 155H versus the Book4 Ultra's more powerful Core Ultra 9 185H, which translates to better gaming and creative workload handling on Samsung's machine. The Book4 Ultra adds expandable storage and an SD card slot, practical for professionals. At nearly $900 more, Samsung's laptop justifies its cost primarily through superior processing power and larger display for demanding workflows. The Yoga 9i represents better value for students, travelers, and general users who prioritize portability and don't need maximum performance.
