Our Verdict
Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 (2021)
HP Spectre x360 14 (2024)
The Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 (2021) and the HP Spectre x360 14 (2024) are both premium 2-in-1 convertible laptops designed for light productivity, like text processing, web browsing, spreadsheets, and video playback. The HP is better in almost every way. It's available with newer, faster Intel CPUs and provides a superior user experience overall. In addition to more processing power, the HP laptop's Intel Meteor Lake CPUs also have an NPU (Neural Processing Unit) to handle A.I.-based tasks, like background blurring on video calls and image generation in photo editing or drawing apps. One thing to bear in mind: the HP's OLED panel flickers. At a frequency of 480Hz, the flickering is unlikely to be an issue for most people, though it may still bother those sensitive to display flicker in general.
