Lenovo just put NVIDIA's Arm superchip in two Yoga laptops, but professionals might be more enthused by their AI-centric memory configurations

Lenovo announced the 11th-generation 15" Yoga Pro 9n and 16" Yoga 9n 2-in-1 at IFA 2026, both running NVIDIA's RTX Spark with a 20-core Grace Arm CPU and a 6,144-core Blackwell GPU The understated highlight for business users and professionals is the 128GB of unified memory that the Pro 9n offers, essentially allowing for large LLMs to be run on-device This is essential for companies that are required not to transmit sensitive data or use cloud APIs for their AI requirements Lenovo announced two Yoga laptops running NVIDIA RTX Spark at its Innovation World event during IFA 2026, and the spec that may matter most to professional buyers isn't the GPU but the massive maximum memory both offer.

While the Lenovo Yoga 9n is limited to a 16-channel 256-bit 64GB LPDDR5X configuration, the Pro SKU doubles this to 128 GB.

The change allows the Yoga Pro 9n to run large models on-device, an impressive feat for a device that weighs only 1.65kg but houses a capable Blackwell RTX GPU that can muster as many as 6144 cores for local AI needs.

Peaking under the hood of the RTX Spark-powered Yoga laptops The underlying silicon is NVIDIA's RTX Spark, unveiled on May 31 ahead of GTC Taipei and long rumored under the codename N1X.

Both laptops pair a 20-core Grace-class Arm CPU with a Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores, roughly comparable to a laptop with a GeForce RTX 5070, co-developed with MediaTek and joined by Nvidia's proprietary coherent chip-to-chip interconnect (NVLink-C2C).

The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9n is the performance-centric model, offering 2 NVMe SSD slots and a total advertised storage capacity of 4 TB, while the non-Pro model caps at 2 TB.

It also offers an extremely color-accurate 15.3-inch 2.5K PureSight Pro OLED that runs from 48 to 165Hz at 1100 nits peak brightness, plus a large 92.5 Whr battery with rapid charging that lets it eke out an advertised 3 hours of battery life after 15 minutes of charging.

It also offers 2 USB-A and 2 USB-C (USB4) ports; the latter support DisplayPort 2.1 and USB PD 3.0 for power users, and it also includes an HDMI 2.1 connection and an SD port.

For those who need a slightly larger screen and potentially a 2-in-device, the Yoga 9n skips the 'Pro' moniker but offers a 2.8K OLED display with a slightly lower capped refresh rate (30 to 120Hz), half the maximum memory configuration, and a slightly larger battery (99.9 WHr), even as it sees its weight increase to 1.94KG as a result.
