CES 2023: Lenovo unveils the Yoga Book 9i, a dual-screen laptop, and more

Published on


Today at CES 2023, Lenovo unveiled a bunch of new devices that the company hopes will meet the needs of today’s consumers. These include dual-screen laptops, all-in-ones, tablets and motion capture cameras.

Lenovo Yoga Book 9i

The highlight of Lenovo’s line-up is the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i, a dual-screen laptop reminiscent of the Surface Neo, which Microsoft announced many years ago but failed to release to the public. The Yoga Book 9i has two 13.3-inch OLED displays with a 16:10 aspect ratio and a resolution of 2880 x 1800. It comes with Dolby Vision support and boasts a 360-degree pivoting soundbar.

You can use just one screen for a typical laptop experience, but you can also use both monitors to enhance your experience. For example, you can display your email on one screen and your handout on another. Or if you’re a student, you can watch a lecture on one display and take notes on the other display with a stylus. You can even use a Bluetooth keyboard, which can be used separately from the device or connected to it to mimic a typical laptop.

When it comes to performance, the Yoga Book 9i is powered by 13th generation Intel processors and has 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage.

The Yoga Book 9i comes in Tidal Teal, and will be available this June starting at $2,099.99.
