Adding some great accessories to the Lenovo Yoga 9i (2022) can turn what we considered one of the best laptops last year into a productivity centerpiece. Yes, the Yoga 9i can pretty much do it all on its own despite its age, but the fine exterior can use some protection from daily wear, the ports can be expanded with a docking station, and an extra monitor or two will help with multitasking. Not to mention some earbuds for when you're working in public or a new keyboard and mouse for when you're seated at your desk. We've put together this collection of the best Yoga 9i accessories to help you get set up the right way.

  • Screen Mom Screen Cleaner

Getting the right accessories for your Lenovo Yoga 9i (2022)

Any of the great accessories for the Lenovo Yoga 9i (2022) listed above will take your laptop to the next level. This is especially true if you have productivity in mind, as adding an Asus ProArt PA278CV, Logitech MX Keys keyboard, and MX Master 3S mouse allows for a setup more akin to a desktop experience. If you find that the port selection is lacking, something like the Kensington SD5780T, CalDigit TS4, or Anker PowerExpand+ 7-in-1 hub will fix the issue.

In his Lenovo Yoga 9i (2022) review, Editor-in-Chief Rich Woods said that "if you're going premium, this is the laptop you should buy." And a premium laptop this nice shouldn't travel naked; picking up a travel sleeve or backpack is always recommended, as is some screen cleaner to keep the touch display free of smears and smudges. And finally, it's never a bad idea to have an extra USB-C charger or power bank around should the laptop's included charger fail. Going with a travel option like the one we've included here can save you space and still get the job done.

The 2023 Yoga 9i has also hit the market, and you can check out more devices that work with both laptops in our collection of the best Yoga 9i (2023) accessories.
