“Why should a creator’s laptop be boring? Lenovo is normally a company that’s willing to—if not break the mold — then stretch it with colorful and occasionally outlandish laptop designs. With the Lenovo Pro 9i 16 G11 Aura Edition, it feels as if some energy-vampire corporate type sucked the joy from what could have been a specialized and fun laptop and instead gave us a gray approximation of what such a creature imagines “professional” creatives crave.”
