Lenovo's LOQ 15IAX9I is a $750 gaming laptop that exceeds expectations in some areas, and disappoints in others. Overall, it's a solid value pick.

Don't miss out on this value-packed laptop with an Intel Core i5 processor and 512GB storage
Lenovo is one of the largest PC companies in the world and, as such, offers a variety of different laptops that cater to many different kinds of budgets. If you've been on the lookout for a good laptop that isn't going to cost you an arm and a leg, the Lenovo Ideapad 3i is going to be a great option. The laptop offers a solid design, plenty of power, and comes with lots of storage.
Lenovo's Legion Go is a great handheld gaming PC, but what if you want more storage than the included SSD?
The world of Steam Deck alternatives is always expanding these days, and Lenovo is one of the biggest players to join the fray with the Legion Go. This is one of the biggest and most versatile gaming handhelds around, with a large 8.8-inch display and removable controllers much like Nintendo's Joy-Con, making it more flexible than the Steam Deck or the Asus ROG Ally.
If you are looking for a solid business laptop, you really can't go wrong with a quality ThinkPad.
Lenovo's ThinkPad brand has long been a staple of the business world. The ThinkPad lineup was initially produced and sold by IBM, which designed the laptops at its Yamato labs in Japan, but Lenovo acquired IBM's personal computing business in 2005. Since then, the laptops have carried the Lenovo branding, but they're still very much geared towards the same audience. All ThinkPad laptops are designed for business users, but they still manage to stand out from each other. If you're looking for the best ThinkPads you can get for yourself, we're here to help.
Lenovo Yoga laptops support the AES pen protocol, and these great pens will deliver a quality inking experience.
If you're buying a new Lenovo laptop, you'll almost certainly want to consider one of the many great convertibles from the Lenovo Yoga line. Whether it's the premium Yoga 9i, the mid-range Yoga 7i, or even the futuristic dual-screen Yoga Book 9i, you can flip the screen around to tablet mode (or any other mode), open an inking app, and let your inner creativity fly. Or, if you're using your device for work, you can sign PDFs and annotate the screen. Inking simply gives you more ways to enjoy your device.
With 5G connectivity slowly rolling out in more regions, here are some of the best 5G laptops that you can buy today! Check it out!
It’s rare these days to be without some sort of connection to the internet, as most of us have a smartphone with cellular data plans. It’s an always-ready gateway to online information or tools, but it’s not the most productive way to get work done. To get the same level of connectivity on the go, some laptop models have internal cellular modems to give 4G LTE or 5G cellular support.
The new 14-inch Slim 7i for 2024 is packed with some impressive high-end features, yet it starts at just more than $1,000.
Lenovo's Slim and Yoga branding is a tad confusing, with the latter term still being used across convertible and non-convertible laptops outside the US market. However, for the US market, Lenovo has clearly separated the convertible Yoga and non-convertible Slim lineups. You'll still see a lot of similarities between brands, but the Slim 7i 14 for 2024 is made for those who don't need a design that can convert into tent, stand, and tablet modes.
Expand the connectivity options of Lenovo's handheld with these docks
Lenovo has jumped into the handheld gaming scene with the Legion Go, the newest competitor to the Asus ROG Ally and Valve's Steam Deck. Since the Legion Go only comes with two USB4 ports, docks are a great way to go if you need to expand the connectivity options of your new handheld console. Docks can also be quite convenient for charging your Legion Go. It's important to note that manufacturers have yet to make docks specifically for the Lenovo Legion Go; however, we can tell from dimensions that, thankfully, many of the docks for the Steam Deck should fit Lenovo's handheld all the same.
Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Fold is a great foldable, but it's still not practical for most
Lenovo's second-generation ThinkPad X1 Fold is bigger, and frankly, it's way better. Not only is the screen big enough to be useful when used as a laptop, but it has a proper keyboard with a haptic touchpad too.
Need a new PC but don't want to spend thousands of dollars? We've rounded up the best laptops you can get for under $1,000.
The newest and snazziest laptops that get announced each and every year can sound very appealing on paper, but when you look at the price tag, you often have to reconsider. Not everyone has thousands of dollars to spend on the best laptops around, after all.
I love the Legion Go, but I think it could be better. Here are 5 upgrades I want from its successor.
I'm still professing my love for the Lenovo Legion Go whenever I get the opportunity. It has become my favorite gaming device since I got it last fall, and with every software update Lenovo rolls out, it only gets better. I can't put it down.
From crazy concepts to impressive technology, this year's MWC had it all.
Mobile World Congress (MWC) is a massive technology event that takes place every year in the city of Barcelona. Thousands of people go there to take a glimpse at the latest and greatest tech being launched, and we attended to get some hands-on time with some of the best out there. Some of these are concepts that you can't buy, some of these are products that you can buy today, but all of them deserve a place on our list of the best products available at the show this year.
Here are the best docking stations for the Lenovo Yoga Slim (2024)
Whenever you buy a new laptop, you want to get the most out of it. Lenovo announced an incredibly exciting lineup of new laptops at CES this year with some of its flagship machines getting upgrades. The new Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i is one of those laptops this year that's getting a huge upgrade. This year's version now has Intel Core Ultra processors and an OLED panel. If you're interested in a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i, then you should get some accessories to maximize its potential. A smart choice would be a docking station, so you can not only charge it but also connect other devices or monitors. Check out our top picks for the best docking stations for the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i (2024) and get more from your new laptop.
Lenovo's new concept has a screen that you can see through
At CES this year, Lenovo showed off some really interesting devices, such as a laptop with a decorative color E Ink display on the lid, and a detachable Windows laptop that turned into an Android tablet when you pull off the screen. As it turns out though, the company didn't get its concepts out of its system. Today at MWC, it introduced the Lenovo ThinkBook Transparent Display Laptop.
Lenovo has announced the latest ThinkPad T14 and T16 laptops with some big upgrades. There's also a new tablet and a convertible.
Mobile World Congress is right around the corner, and ahead of the show in Barcelona, Lenovo has revealed many more laptops in its business lineup for 2024. We saw the flagships at CES 2024, but Lenovo still has more to share, and this time, it's focusing on one of its most popular lineups, the ThinkPad T series, including the T14, T14s, and T16. These laptops are getting some notable upgrades with NPUs and a new Communications Bar.
Is the Yoga 9i (2024) worth the added price premium it commands over the Yoga Slim 7i?
Lenovo had a very productive CES this year, where it launched a wide range of products from laptops and a tablet, to a pair of TWS earphones. The laptops were no doubt the stars of the show, and we got new iterations of some of the popular models. As far as 14-inch laptops go, the Yoga 9i (2024) is the company's flagship convertible, allowing you to use it as a laptop or tablet. We also got a new Yoga Slim 7i (2024), featuring similar specs to the 9i, but with a more wallet-friendly starting price. If you were thinking of grabbing one of these come April, which one should you pick?
I love the Yoga Book 9i, but dual-screen competition is going to ramp up in the months and years to come.
Dual-screen laptops didn't just appear out of nowhere in recent years. A long list of prototypes dates back to the early 2000s, with standouts like the Acer Iconia 6120 and Toshiba Libretto W100 coming in as a couple of the first Windows-based products to actually see a full release.
Lenovo continues to find ways to improve on a what is already the best business laptop on the market.
Lenovo's ThinkPad stable is crowned by its X1 series, which includes the X1 Carbon, X1 2-in-1, and X1 Fold. The X1 Carbon is the real workhorse of the three, appealing to professionals who have some extra money to spend on a feature-laden and portable laptop. In my ThinkPad X1 Carbon (Gen 11) review, I noted that "after using the [laptop] steadily for about a week, I found it hard to discover any faults." That statement largely holds true here. Lenovo is still finding ways to improve the laptop in meaningful ways.
The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i and Dell XPS 16 look to be the best creator laptops in 2024, but which one is better?
Lenovo and Dell both introduced fresh new hardware at CES 2024, and we're taking a look at both the 2024 Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i and the all-new Dell XPS 16. While the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i is a refresh of its prior model, Dell's XPS 16 is essentially a brand-new laptop that has replaced the XPS 17.
Lenovo is big on experimental devices, and its VP of design, Brian Leonard, answered some of our questions regarding what goes on behind the scenes.
Lenovo is undoubtedly making some of the best laptops you can buy right now, and its area of dominance encompasses consumer, business, and gaming PCs. The Yoga brand is arguably in its best shape ever with a smart range of budget, mid-range, and high-end hardware, ThinkPad maintains its legendary legacy in the professional world, and Legion gaming laptops are easy to recommend thanks to intelligent cooling, modern design, and robust performance.
Need help deciding which Lenovo Yoga is better for you? We'll break down the similarities and differences to show you which one stands out.
While Lenovo is already known for making some of the best laptops on the market, the company has expanded its portfolio with the all-new Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i, which provides an alternative to the MacBook Pro as one of the best laptops for creative professionals. Last year's Yoga Pro 9i was already one of the best creator laptops, with its powerful RTX 40-series graphics cards and one of the best mini-LED displays on the market. This year, however, Lenovo has refreshed the Yoga Pro 9i with the new blazing-fast Intel Core Ultra processors and a dedicated Microsoft Co-Pilot button on the keyboard.
