Three convertible laptops are displayed in different modes beside a stylus and an AI chip icon.
Lenovo's Yoga 9n 2-in-1 is the convertible entry in the first wave of Nvidia RTX Spark laptops, and it is now open for preorder. It is a 16-inch Windows 11 machine built around a Windows-on-Arm superchip. The pricing and configuration details need some care. Early coverage mixes this model up with its non-convertible sibling, the Yoga Pro 9n, and the retail listings don't all agree with each other.

Three convertible laptops are displayed in different modes beside a stylus and an AI chip icon. What Lenovo is selling​

Notebookcheck reports that the Yoga 9n 2-in-1 is available to preorder globally. US pricing starts at $2,999.99, with £2,800 in the UK and €3,629 in Germany. Shipping is scheduled to begin October 16. "Global" here means Notebookcheck reported preorders with those three regional prices. It doesn't confirm that every country has a live listing.

The two configurations Notebookcheck describes are:

ConfigurationCPU / GPUUnified memoryStoragePrice
Entry18-core CPU / 5,120-core GPU32 GB512 GB$2,999.99
Top (reported)20-core CPU / 6,144-core GPU64 GB1 TB$3,999.99

Those figures match Notebookcheck's description of the entry and full 20-core configurations.

The 2 TB storage question​

Notebookcheck's intro says the machine can be configured with up to 2 TB of storage. Its detailed top configuration lists 1 TB. The two aren't necessarily in conflict. Notebookcheck's earlier IFA coverage noted that Lenovo lists up to 2 TB of PCIe Gen 4 QLC storage. So 2 TB may be a build-to-order ceiling. I found no priced 2 TB option for this model, so treat it as unconfirmed for now.

Design and display​

Tom's Guide describes a 360-degree hinge that supports laptop, tablet, tent, stand and canvas modes. Notebookcheck says it is one of the few first-wave RTX Spark models with a flexible design, alongside MSI's Prestige N16 Flip AI+.

The reported specifications are:

  • Display: a 16-inch OLED touchscreen at 2,880 × 1,800, with 100% P3 coverage. It reaches up to 1,100 nits in HDR and runs a 30–120 Hz variable refresh rate.
  • Weight: 4.28 lbs.
  • Ports: two 40 Gbps USB4 ports, two 10 Gbps USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1, a headphone jack and an SD card reader.
  • Battery: 99.9 Wh with a 140 W adapter. Lenovo claims a fifteen-minute charge gives three hours of use.

All of these are manufacturer or press-reported numbers. I found no independent testing of the battery claim or the display brightness.

64 GB versus the Pro 9n's 128 GB​

The convertible tops out at 64 GB. VideoCardz reports the Yoga Pro 9n goes up to 128 GB of 9400 MT/s memory, while Lenovo limits the 2-in-1 to 64 GB. The ceiling comes from Lenovo's configuration choices rather than the chip. Nvidia's platform page lists up to 128 GB of unified memory for RTX Spark overall.

That matters because unified memory is shared between CPU and GPU. For local AI model work, capacity is often the limiting factor. Readers who plan to run large models should compare the Pro 9n, even though it isn't a convertible. Readers who want pen-and-tablet use should note the 64 GB limit. This is general industry reasoning, not a benchmark finding.

Pricing: Lenovo versus retailers​

Retailer prices differ from Lenovo's own. Tom's Hardware lists the Yoga 9n 2-in-1 at $3,099.99 at Best Buy. Tom's Guide lists it at $2,999 at Lenovo, with 32 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD. The $3,099.99 figure is a different retailer configuration, not a correction of Lenovo's price. Compare the memory and storage before you compare the totals.

How it compares with the Surface Laptop Ultra​

Notebookcheck notes that Microsoft's Surface Laptop Ultra starts lower but ships with 24 GB in its base configuration, against 32 GB here. Tom's Guide gives the Surface Ultra's starting price as $2,599.

It's not a like-for-like comparison. The Surface is a conventional clamshell, while the Yoga is a 16-inch convertible. If you need the extra memory headroom or tablet modes, the $400 gap may be worth it. If you don't, the Surface looks like the cheaper way into the platform.

What's still unknown​

  • Performance: I found no independent benchmarks or reviews for this model. Nvidia and Lenovo marketing numbers are not test results.
  • Software compatibility: RTX Spark is a Windows-on-Arm platform. As with other Arm PCs, the compatibility of older x86 apps, drivers and anti-cheat software is something to verify before buying. No test results cover this machine.
  • Thermals and noise: these are unknown for the convertible chassis. The platform is rated for a 45–80 W TDP range.

Bottom line​

The Yoga 9n 2-in-1 is a premium Windows-on-Arm convertible with a bright OLED panel, a 64 GB memory ceiling and an October 16 ship date. It's a preorder, so wait for reviews if you can. Check the exact memory and storage in whichever listing you choose, because Lenovo's and Best Buy's prices don't map one-to-one. Don't assume the Pro 9n's 128 GB option or its China-market software claims apply to this model.
