![]() ![]() ![]() This has been achieved because the Yoga Book 9i adopts a hybrid thermal management solution that marries the cooling effectiveness of conventional active cooling with dual heat-pipe and ultra-thin dual-fan made with 0.15mm fan blades, and silent operation of passive cooling with a wider copper block over the processor. Not once, during my several hours reviewing this product did I notice any of the heat build-up that has been noticeable with notebooks from Apple MSI and HP that we have seen this year. This fusion design process strengthens the two display screens while delivering resistance to scratches, which comes in handy as these are also touch screens. It’s not just the Tidal teal colour, or the rounded sidewalls that were expertly crafted through a 10-step precision Computerized Numerical Control (CNC), sandblasting, anodisation, and polishing process to produce a stunning mirror finish that you notice, it’s the dual displays that have been fused onto Corning Gorilla Glass 3 that still allow the content on the screen to stand out. The product comes beautifully packed in a custom box, and when you first see this notebook, with its precision-machined, aerospace-grade aluminium you realise it’s a tad different from most other notebook. Prior to doing this review we did a complete wipe of the device and reset the notebook back to Windows 11 as we wanted to eliminate any third-party software. The Yoga Book 9i, with the new 13th gen Intel i7 processor, is the Swiss army knife of notebooks that has been designed using premium materials, top end processors and includes not one but two seriously sharp OLED display screens. The dual OLED screen 13” Lenovo Yoga Book 9i is not just a notebook that delivers performance and unique capabilities, it’s the inclusion of a fold up stand that is so simple, that I am staggered that no one has thought of designing such a clever concept before for notebook users, because it takes portable computing to a whole new level. This week I came face to face with one of the most exciting and dynamic notebooks I have ever had the opportunity to review, and if you are like me, you could fall easily in love with Lenovo’s new Multimode offering, that was four years in the making. I have spent close on 40 years reviewing PC products, from the early Motorola smartphones (bricks), cloned Macs, which Steve Jobs quickly killed off, to a host of notebooks from the likes of Compaq, IBM and Digital which were heavy, expensive and lacked performance compared to today’s offering. “What laptop is that?” I was asked several times. I for one want to buy this notebook and so do several people who saw it when I was reviewing it sitting in a coffee shop recently with two screens sitting up vertically. ![]() Then there is the issue of FUNCTIONALITY, and this is where this notebook is in a class of its own and that’s down to brilliant designers and a simple stand that, despite lacking power, takes computing to a whole new level. I even suspect a few Apple lovers could throw in the towel for this product that PERFORMACE wise delivers when managing large files and downloads and when managing heat and battery life. Lenovo has gone way beyond this with the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i that I have no doubt is going to become the standout products that other brands are going to lust after. Some brands are claiming premium because of the chipset and processor. Shape, form, and colour stand out, making this a true premium product. The DESIGN is as good as it could possibly get without being gimmicky.
