How they stack up

HP OmniBook Ultra Flip 14

The HP OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 is the closest rival to the Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1 at the premium end, matching it on OLED quality and thinness while adding a far better 9MP webcam, though the Yoga 9i's rotating soundbar hinge and 1,100-nit panel edge ahead. It is more portable than the 16-inch Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 and HP OmniBook X Flip 16, and better-finished than the cheaper Lenovo Yoga 7i.

Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1

The Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 is the midrange step down from the premium Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1, sharing the brand's build quality and bundled pen but with a less impressive display unless you choose OLED.
