The fundraising circuit in Democratic politics was once the literal physical axis of money, influence, and cronyism that would converge not in smoky backrooms exactly but in the richly appointed living rooms of the very wealthy. Now it is the Zoom circuit. Tickets still cost money, but they don’t get you in a room with the president. They get you a Zoom link where the main attraction usually reads from a script and maybe takes questions before everyone clicks the bright red “Leave Meeting” button at the bottom of the screen.

Finally, I ran two PCMark 10 tests. The first, the Gaming battery benchmark, stresses the CPU and GPU to emulate demanding tasks while using the battery. The Yoga 9i 14 lasted for just over two hours, which is roughly average across the laptops we’ve tested.

The next closest machine was the XPS 13 that lasted for just under 11 hours. … [Read more...] about Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 Review: An excellent convertible with yesterday’s display
