Hot on the heels of the new desktop RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti leaks, which delivered some disappointing news for gamers on a budget, a new Lenovo Yoga Pro 9 creator laptop has surfaced, featuring an RTX 5060 Laptop GPU and a significant price hike.
Specs Leak from Globaldata
The initial Lenovo Yoga Pro 9 listing comes from the Portuguese tech site, Globaldata (a Caseking store). As per the leak, this Yoga Pro 9 will sport a fresh 2.8 K, 120 Hz display — this time an OLED panel instead of Mini-LED — along with 32 GB of DDR5 RAM, a 1 TB SSD, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 GPU. The product page also hints at a possible RTX 5070 variant, which is likely, given that the last generation also culminated with an RTX 4070 Laptop GPU.
Performance Expectations
In our review of the RTX 4070-equipped Yoga Pro 9i, we noted that, even limited to 100 W, the RTX 4070 Laptop GPU proved more than capable of competing with its rivals. In recent tests of the desktop Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, we observed a notable boost in efficiency compared to the RTX 4000 series, with only the AMD Radeon RX 9070 exceeding the 5070 Ti in efficiency rankings. This efficiency boost in the RTX 5070-class GPUs suggests that the 5060 and 5070 Laptop GPUs should be at least as efficient and speedy as their 4000-series counterparts, which is promising for the performance of the Yoga Pro 9.
Pricing and Features
The current Lenovo Yoga Pro 9 with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 is still up for grabs from Lenovo, starting at $1,899.99.
The Portuguese online store lists the Yoga Pro 9 for €2,299, translating to approximately $2,520, although this doesn’t truly reflect the price of the upcoming Yoga laptop — especially with recent news on tariffs drastically altering tech prices in the US.
Additional features of the Yoga Pro 9 Gen 10 include an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H and full coverage of the DCI-P3 color space. The listing also discloses that the new Yoga laptop will come equipped with 2× Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports, 2× USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A ports, 1× HDMI 2.1 port, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and an SD card reader.
