TL;DR Lenovo is showing off tons of new laptops at CES 2026, including the new Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition.

The new Yoga Pro 9i features the latest Intel processors and support for up to the RTX 5070 laptop GPU, though you’ll also find useful extras like a touchpad that doubles as a drawing space, complete with an included Wacom stylus.

In addition to the Yoga Pro 9i, the company also revealed the Yoga Pro 7i and several other new Yoga products.

Every year, Lenovo brings its A-game to CES, often flooding the show with tons of announcements in the process. To little surprise, the same story is playing out here at CES 2026. We’ve already seen a few cool announcements from Lenovo, such as a new rollable concept and its take on AI glasses. The company also has plenty to show off when it comes to laptops, making it hard to keep track of them all. That said, one of the models that stood out to us the most was the new Yoga Pro 9i.

While many of the laptops shown at CES are minor refreshes, Lenovo has redesigned the Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition chassis with a new two-tone Thunder Grey finish that not only looks great but has also seen improvements that maximize cooling efficiency. There’s even an improved keyboard experience with 1.5mm keys that should make for a much more comfortable typing experience.

Under the hood, the new Yoga Pro 9i is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 3 processor with up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 laptop GPU. You’ll also get a gorgeous 16-inch 3.2K PureSight Pro Tandem OLED display that is perfect for gamers and creators alike. The Yoga Pro 9i Aura also adds a Force Pad, which is an advanced touchpad technology that doubles as a drawing surface when paired with the included Yoga Pen Gen 2. While the drawing space is certainly on the small side, it’s still a nice extra that could actually come in handy for some.

The Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition is expected to arrive in Q2 2026, with a starting price of $1,899.99.
