Lenovo Yoga Book 9i (13.3-inch, 2023)

Dual-display portability ; Strong 13th Gen Intel Core i7 performance ; Crisp and accurate display ; Good keyboard and stand

Lacking a physical trackpad ; Software still has some way to go ; Few useful modes

The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i is a unique device in this category thanks to its dual-screen design, but with a high price that can’t be ignored. You can be rightly sceptical over how such a laptop can be worth this much cash but it strikes gold as a way to...

Dual-display flexibility is actually useful Two superior OLED displays Origami stand works well Great external keyboard Solid and attractive build Outstanding pen support

A few glitches A lot of components to carry around Battery life could be better

“With two screens and lots of modes, the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i is one of the most interesting laptops ever made.”

Fantastic day-to-day performance ; Gorgeous screen and design ; Useful in multiple modes ; Comes with solid quality-of-life accessories

Expensive ; Limited ports ; Not powerful enough for more robust tasks

The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i is a beauty, from its sleek aesthetics to its gorgeous OLED screens. Plus, the unique setup not only offers it up as a conversation piece, but adds much more screen real estate than the typical laptop. Of course, it’s pricey and...

Bold OLED screens ; Decent keyboard accessory ; Can almost feel like a dual-screen desktop PC

Using screens alone for work is not much fun ; Poor virtual touchpad experience ; The cost of novelty is high

Laptop designs don’t get much more ambitious and out-there than the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i. It’s at its best when acting like a dual-screen PC you can take to hotels and offices across the world. But it isn’t quite as appealing when you just want a...

Still, the Yoga Book 9i allows me to be nearly as productive from the coffee shop as I am at my desk at home, provided I remember to tote along all the necessary accessories to make it work. That alone might be worth the compromises elsewhere.

Two screens are a massive game changer for mobile productivity (and a real head turner). Brighter than bright touchscreens. Excellent battery life.

Performance isn’t great. Moving content between screens isn’t entirely intuitive. Enough with the endless pop-ups: No, Lenovo, I do not want 3 months of free Amazon Music Unlimited.

Two beautiful displays ; A smart bundled accessory package ; Reasonable performance and battery life

Keyboard can be a little awkward in clamshell mode ; Lower performance than many single-screen laptops ; Skimpy port selection (not even a headphone jack!)

The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i is a masterfully executed dual-screen laptop that excels at providing a multiple-monitor experience on the go. This design comes with some tradeoffs, but they’re more than worth it if you want a dual-screen system.

Unusual dual-OLED-screen design ; Has "proper" PC components ready for real work ; Solid typing experience with keyboard accessory ; Includes stylus and near-essential folio case

Expensive ; Virtual touchpad is poor ; Keyboard not always recognised when used in laptop mode

Lenovo’s Book series continues to offer novel designs you don’t tend to see everywhere, like this portable dual-monitor PC. However, using it like a laptop highlights some frustrating issues and it doesn’t quite have the pep to replace a desktop for...
