Lenovo vantage camera is in use11/10/2023 ![]() ![]() The Yogabook 9i includes a 4 Cell Li-Polymer 80Wh battery and there’s a 65W USB-C charger included in the box.īattery life on the Yogabook 9i is good for a system with dual OLED displays. In terms of gaming, if you want to play Minecraft you’ll be fine, but anything requiring a discrete GPU won’t run particularly well. In terms of power, the Yogabook 9i handled everything I could throw at it in terms of playing videos, surfing the web and even some video editing. The Intel Iris X e integrated graphics however is not up to gaming above the basics. Powered by a 13th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB DDR5 RAM and a 512GB M.2 Gen 4 SSD, the Yogabook 9i really isn’t underpowered when it comes to processing power. The whole package offers up good quality sound all around with videos sounding great and your zoom meetings a little more clear when you speak. The audio setup is completed with dual-array microphones which Lenovo sends through their Smart Noise Cancellation AI to offer clear audio without background noise. It’s a neat solution, the 360-degree hinge allowing you to use the Yogabook 9i in a variety of different form-factors, while also allowing the audio to be presented to you from the same angle. There’s a good sound system on the Yogabook 9i with Bowers and Wilkins speakers tuned with Dolby Atmos spatial audio built into the 360-degree hinge joining the displays as well as underneath the lower deck. The webcam uses Smart Presence Detection to automatically lock and unlock your display or pause your videos when you walk away or return which is a neat (and convenient) trick. It’s a decent quality webcam, and there’s a switch on the side to disable the camera to ensure your privacy. The panels have minimal bezel surrounding them, but enough to include a 5MP IR capable Windows Hello webcam above one of the OLED panels. The only feedback I have on the OLED panels is that at 400 nits (600 peak) the displays aren’t as bright as I’d like in brighter conditions. That said, I was almost touch typing by the end of the review. ![]() ![]() Personally I don’t find display haptics able to really replicate the tactile feedback of a key springing back on a real keyboard. The virtual keyboard and trackpad are easy to use, though if you’re a touch typist it can be a little hard to get used to. The dual display setup of course means there’s no physical keyboard on the laptop, so if you leave the bluetooth keyboard at home you’ll be using the virtual keyboard on the lower deck. They look fantastic, delivering true blacks, gorgeous saturated colours and the glass is smooth and responsive to touch – though with a gloss finish it’s a fingerprint magnet, though easily cleaned. The star of the show though is the dual OLED displays joined by the 360-degree hinge. Sitting on the couch using the virtual keyboard can be a little cumbersome, though you do adapt to the virtual keyboard but I used the Bluetooth keyboard more often. Or you can flip it to tablet mode or even use it in tent mode. The hinge works well, letting you use it as a traditional laptop with either the Windows virtual keyboard and trackpad, or with the Bluetooth keyboard sitting on the lower display. It’s an interesting form factor and here’s how it went. It’s an impressive setup when you’re out and about and in the couple of weeks I’ve been using it, it’s gotten comments everywhere I’ve used it. The laptop comes with a handy folding stand that allows you to use the Yogabook 9i in different configurations, as well as a compact Bluetooth keyboard which folds up inside the stand for protection during travel and a Lenovo Digital Pen 3 stylus which stores in the loop on the stand. The system is powered by your choice of Intel Core processors with Iris Xe graphics and 16 GB DR5 RAM with a 512GB M.2 Gen 4 SSD. The highlight of the Yogabook 9i is of course the dual 13.3″ 2.8K 60Hz OLED panels, surrounded by a fairly minimal bezel and joined by a 360-degree hinge. The latest announcement at CES earlier this year was the Yogabook 9i, a laptop with dual OLED displays.Įye-catching to be sure, the Yogabook 9i is now on-sale in Australia, starting from $4,189 from Lenovo with a 13th Gen Intel Core i5 processor, or with a Core i7 for $4,439 which is the model Lenovo have sent over for review. As global leader in PC shipments, Lenovo has a keen eye on new form factors for their laptop market. ![]()
