Hey everyone! I'm in the market for a new Lenovo laptop and I've narrowed it down to two models: the Lenovo Yoga 9i with an Intel 7i Evo series 1 155h processor, and the Lenovo Yoga 7i Slim Aura Edition with the Intel series 2 256v processor. I'm a bit torn because the Yoga 9i has this stunning OLED screen and great speakers, but I'm wondering if the newer generation processor in the Yoga 7i is a significant upgrade. Also, is burn-in still a concern with OLED screens? The Yoga 7i is actually $150 cheaper, but it doesn't have the OLED display. I plan to use the laptop primarily for browsing, light photo editing, multimedia, and playing GeForce Now (GFN). I'm also considering hooking up my One X GPU; would either laptop benefit significantly from that? Thanks for the help!

If you're prioritizing performance, I'd go with the Yoga 9i featuring the OLED screen. The series 2 processor has half the core count of the series 1, which could lead to a performance hit for your tasks. But I totally get the appeal of the gorgeous OLED display!
True, the series 2 model doesn't have the OLED. It's a tough choice!
I've looked at those models too! Just remember, if you enjoy beautiful visuals, the OLED is hard to beat. Even though the series 2 is cheaper, you might miss out on the sheer quality of the OLED, especially for gaming and multimedia.
That's wild they cut so many cores! I'm leaning towards the OLED too. Do you think burn-in is still a major worry for these displays?
