The leaked Lenovo Yoga 9n may potentially be the first convertible laptop powered by RTX Spark.
NVIDIA's RTX Spark platform is set to enter a brand new category of laptops. Recently leaked images indicate that Lenovo is developing the Yoga 9n 2-in-1, likely to be the first convertible laptop featuring NVIDIA's RTX Spark (N1X) superchip. The leak, reported by Windows Latest, showcases a high-end 360-degree Yoga convertible that resembles the existing Yoga 9i, but replaces Intel's processor with NVIDIA's new Arm-based AI technology.
A familiar design with a new core
The leaked visuals reveal that the Yoga 9n 2-in-1 retains Lenovo’s characteristic 360-degree rotating soundbar hinge, allowing for fluid transitions between laptop, tent, stand, and tablet configurations.

This convertible seemingly sports a premium aluminum body in Lenovo’s Cosmic Blue shade, a near edge-to-edge 2.8K PureSight Pro OLED display, an IR webcam equipped with a physical privacy shutter for Windows Hello, and compatibility with the Yoga Pen Gen 2 stylus. In terms of ports, the leak highlights HDMI, USB-A, several USB-C connectors, and a 3.5mm audio jack, providing an impressively varied I/O selection for a high-end convertible.

The report also hints that Lenovo is working on a more traditional Yoga Pro 9n in addition to the convertible model. Unlike the Yoga 9n, the Pro version follows a clamshell design and is anticipated to feature a 15-inch display, a large haptic touchpad that serves as a drawing surface, a magnetic stylus holder built into the lid, and a six-speaker Dolby Atmos audio setup.

The leaked information also illustrates a more creator-centric port arrangement, which includes a full-size SD card reader, while Windows Latest asserts that Lenovo is aiming for all-day battery life despite the powerful RTX Spark platform. Collectively, these two laptops suggest that Lenovo is developing an entire premium RTX Spark lineup, targeting both creative professionals who prefer traditional notebooks and those seeking the versatility of a 2-in-1.
What distinguishes RTX Spark?
Unlike standard Windows laptops that use separate CPUs and GPUs, RTX Spark integrates a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU with a Blackwell GPU into a single Arm-based system-on-chip. NVIDIA claims the platform features 6,144 CUDA cores, supports up to 128GB of unified LPDDR5X memory, and provides up to 1 petaflop of AI performance, while also incorporating technologies like CUDA, DLSS, RTX, TensorRT, Reflex, and G-SYNC for Windows on Arm devices.

Neither Lenovo nor NVIDIA has officially revealed the Yoga 9n yet, leaving details about pricing, specifications, and launch dates unclear. However, with RTX Spark laptops anticipated to debut later this year, the leak suggests that Lenovo is poised to extend NVIDIA’s new AI-oriented platform beyond creator-focused notebooks into the realm of premium convertible laptops as well.
