Best accessories for Lenovo Yoga 9i (2023)

The new Lenovo Yoga 9i (2023) looks to be yet another great Windows convertible from Lenovo. It keeps the same stylish design that we loved in the 2022 model, but brings new 13th-generation Intel processors, and a few specs changes. The device won’t be coming out for a few more months in April, but that doesn’t mean you can’t buy some accessories for it in the meantime to prepare your setup at home or in the office for your new Yoga 9i.

Buying a monitor, for example, can help you be a bit more productive since you can open more windows at once and manage them more easily. Even a mouse and keyboard are great since you can reduce the pain you feel in your hands for prolonged typing and scrolling experiences. Then, for connecting to your favorite peripherals, a docking station is a great purchase, since you can get more ports than what’s included on the Yoga 9i. You might want a GPU enclosure, too, for boosting your computing power for tasks like gaming. From all those categories to things like headphones, webcams, cases, and sleeves, we’ve got you covered with a look at the best Lenovo Yoga 9i (2023) accessories right here.

Docks and adapters

For a Windows convertible, the Lenovo Yoga 9i is a very well-connected device. It has two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a USB 3.2 Type-C port, a USB 3.2 Type-A port, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Some missing ports, though, include an SD or microSD card reader, and HDMI for connecting to monitors. It’s why you’ll want a dock or adapter that can add these ports to your Yoga 9i while it sits at your desk.

External monitors

The Lenovo Yoga 9i (2023) comes with a great integrated display. This year’s model has OLED options as standard, so you get a really vibrant and color-accurate display for streaming and everyday work. Beyond that, though, it’s great to pick up a secondary monitor, as you can work simultaneously on different tasks. And, in the case of monitors that have multiple inputs, also connect a secondary device like a gaming console.

• Dell 4K S3321QS Curved UHD monitor

  Editor’s Choice

  You can’t go wrong with a curved monitor for productivity, as the curve in the screen means you can move your head around less when multitasking with a lot of windows open at once. It’s why we suggest this 32-inch one from Dell, which has a 4K resolution, and integrated speakers.

GPU enclosures

Thanks to the Thunderbolt 4 ports onboard the Yoga 9i (2023) you can connect an external GPU to your laptop. This can get you a boost in power beyond the integrated graphics for video editing, and gaming. Of course, these external GPUs are quite expensive, and you’ll have to provide your own dedicated GPU in most cases, but for those who plan to use the Yoga 9i for engineering, video editing, or other tasks, these enclosures are an absolute must-buy.

  With this GPU enclosure from Gigabyte, you get both a GeForce RX 3080 desktop GPU, and the enclosure itself. This is why the price is quite high.

Mice and keyboards

The keyboard and trackpad on the Lenovo Yoga 9i (2023) are great for quick typing and web browsing sessions, but if you’re going to sit at your desk all day and use the device for work or school, you’ll want to consider ad dedicated mouse and keyboard. A dedicated keyboard has a more comfortable layout, more function keys, and a number pad to help make entering data in spreadsheets easy. And, a dedicated mouse means you can relax your hands a bit more and click and scroll at a natural angle. It’s why we suggest picking up any of these mice or keyboards.

Webcams

One thing that’s not changed between last year’s Yoga 9i model and this year’s Yoga 9i model is the webcams. Both devices have a standard 1080p Full HD webcam with a privacy shutter. If you’re looking for a better video conferencing experience, then a dedicated webcam will help. The webcams we’re suggesting here pack in 2K quality sensors, or 4K quality sensors. The bigger sensor quality means more light is able to reach the lens, for a more accurate-looking image. Check our picks for some webcams from Dell, Anker, and a lesser-known brand.
