Performance scores
Lenovo Yoga Slim 9i 14″ (Gen 10, 2025) — the reliability flagship of the slim line
The Yoga Slim 9i Gen 10 at $1,275 is the top of the Slim convertible line: an Intel Core Ultra 7 256V with an Arc 140V and 32 GB of RAM. Reliability reads 86 — 76% above the class median, high band, top quartile — and the CPU posts 83.94, 41% above class. Graphics log a zero: the scoring pipeline has no matched entry for the Arc 140V, a coverage gap rather than a literal score.
Where it holds up
Portability at 76.4 (high) is the strongest axis on the sheet, with office productivity at 72.91 (high) close behind. Overall performance reads 45.36 (mid) and photo design 35 (mid) — the balanced, comfortable profile of a premium thin convertible. The 83.94 CPU is the quiet headline: flagship-tier compute in the slimmest chassis of the family.
Where it falls short
The flagged weakness is graphics — the unmatched Arc 140V entry above. The low bands cluster in the GPU-fed axes: gaming 19, 3D modeling 17 and engineering CAD 22. At $1,275 with value at 45.3 (mid), the buyer pays flagship money for chassis and trust while the graphics columns stay unverified.
Price and depreciation
No depreciation anchor is recorded (base $0); no curve or projection applies. The 2025 cohort rate is 15% per year — the early, steep part of a modern-premium curve.
Alternatives to consider
The Yoga 9i 14″ Aura Edition at the same $1,275 carries the identical silicon with portability at 73.7 and photo design at 35. The Yoga 7i Gen 10 (14″) at $1,275 is the value route to the same 86 reliability. The Yoga Book 9i 14″ (Gen 10) at $1,275 swaps the slim chassis for the dual-screen format with an 88 Wh battery.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. The trust-and-carry flagship: reliability 86 with an 83.94 CPU and portability 76.4 leading the sheet — graphics capped at gaming 19 by the unmatched iGPU entry, value 45.3 the honest premium.
