The Yoga Book 9i is the star of the new line of notebooks and convertibles that Lenovo is exhibiting at CES 2024, which, in addition to this dual-screen model, includes six other “Yogas” updated with the latest Intel processor platforms (also AMD in one version) and the latest connectivity standards.

Dual-screen laptops continue to be a niche market, but there’s no doubting their spectacular nature. In the past days, we could verify this with the review of the ASUS Zenbook Duo 2024, and today comes another one with a very similar conceptual design. The aim is to offer the user maximum versatility with the many uses they offer., vertically, horizontally, lying down, in a tent, with keyboard and mouse or without peripherals, using the second screen as a virtual keyboard. If you like ‘hybrid’, there are no better devices.

Lenovo retains the hallmarks of the Yoga Book 9i with its two screens 13.3-inch multi-touch OLED diagonal, with a native resolution of 2.8K (2880 x 1800 pixels), with support for 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, HDR compatibility and a brightness of 400 nits.

Inside, the internal hardware has been restored in favor Intel Meteor Lake and specifically the low-power 15-watt ‘U’ series Core Ultra processors, which don’t offer the performance of the ‘H’ series, but are more energy efficient. They are complemented by up to 32 GB of LPDDR5x memory and up to 1 TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD.

The computer is equipped with a 5MP IR web camera with support for Windows Hello facial recognition and a privacy shutter. It supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 and has three Thunderbolt ports. The battery is 80 Wh with a total weight (without wireless keyboard) of 1.34 kg. It will be available in April with base pricing starting in the year 2000 dollars.
