What do you guys think of the Yoga Book 9i? Its come in handy for certain situations but it may not be for everyone. Also, if you enjoyed the video feel free to like and subscribe!
First
This is the best review of this laptop so far and so many useful tidbits like screen brightness and quicknote from lockscreen feature. One of my gripes was that the pen could only be stored in the case penholder. Now knowing that there is a more convenient magnetic area on the laptop itself to hold the pen makes it pretty much certain that I'm gonna get this laptop. So happy to be a student in this day and age! I'm just sad that I will no longer be a student and need dual screen laptops a few years down the road when this concept is even more polished.
In my opinion, a Zenbook/ROG duo laptop is a better solution overall till maybe foldable screens become more reliable in laptops. My zenbook pro 14 duo works flawlessly for all situations like taking notes, photoshop at a cafe, meetings with quick references on the bottom screen, and so much more... The best part is that it has a dedicated gpu and cooling like a regular laptop and the wow factor of the secondary display doesn't take away anything from the usability/portability, whereas this one seems like having to make some compromises for the wow factor. Also, if you place the keyboard on the bottom display, the rest of the area is either a screen or a trackpad and since you need a trackpad when you use a laptop on your lap, you are left with only one usable display. There definitely is a lot of room for improvement but we need more brands to push into this segment to innovate new formfactors and to definitely bring the price down
I got the original Yoga Book as well as the sequel the YB930. Both were promising but ultimately flawed - for example with the YB930, the second (eink) screen was just too slow. You couldn't use it for reading epubs, never mind pdfs. This 9i sounds much more promising but I fear it will have too many compromises for that 'One laptop'.
@@saipulivarthi Surely a generic keyboard would do just as well?
As both a Apple and Windows user, this is why I prefer Windows, always pushing design innovation.😊
This product makes me think of switching over from my Mac to this Windows computer.
As an Apple and Windows user, Windows devices aren’t as reliable or predictable and their features don’t work as well as in Apple world.
If only they plugged an i9 into it and something a little better than a dumbass intel graphics.
I am not buying a laptop for 2 years, im buying one for 6 years.
This thing is a pain in the ass 3-4 years from now.
Screens getting looser, pc getting slower since it has to separately process 2 screens.
16Gb ram.
And man, that intel graphics just cant do enough vram 3 years down the line.
This is yet another idea that works awesome the first 6 months and then its a shit show
In fact, I am currently typing this on my Yoga Book 9i ...
@@Captain_Cinnamonit’s awesome so far. I’ll let you know!
I'm a daytrader and can't wait to get this laptop! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
No more carrying around a second monitor or tablet to trade on the go... 👍🏽
same!
My workflow pretty much necessitates a two monitor setup. Working when I'm on the road is a challenge because bringing a second monitor is too much of a hassle to make it worthwhile. I can envision this Lenovo as being a great (maybe overkill?) solution. It sure is a sweet looking laptop.
Ya, it has its upsides! Its a cool idea
You would still need to carry the keyboard and the case separately, which wouldn't be convenient for you. (Unless you plan to use an on screen keyboard)
Even my workflow needs this. It would have been a no brainer if it had dedicated graphics.
@@aniketmodi6346 ll50ll❤llĺ⁰
For people who use dual screens very often like myself it is a dream. Great job Lenovo - such a thoughtful design!
It'd be better if it opened sideways
@@NCXitlali Indeed it has the same working and I wonder how good the hinges will stay if you always put it on the double screen holder. I guess that gives quite a bit of pressure on the hinges, as also my Lenovo Yoga 520 henges get looser after a while.
omg, this will be perfect for us doing research papers.. like when u r reading, referring to other article papers, and typing all at once...
Looks amazing. The battery life for 2 OLED screens is crazy good. It looks completely quality. You mention the setup, but I would think for light typing I'd use the screen keyboard then it's a quick setup in a coffee shop not the extended setup. Thank you for doing this review.
The Asus duo laptops fill a middle ground go this too
Awesome review Matthew! Makes me want mine even more now. Should receive it next week!
As a longtime Mac user who isn't the target demographic, I'm glad to see someone out there taking chances and doing interesting things. Kudos.
I really like the design and the concept. The lack of ports for an extra screen is a fair trade-off for me personally because I use lots of bluetooth peripherals already. If I my line of work didn't require a high-performance GPU, this would very well be on the top of my list of new and upcoming tech to try out. I don't even mind the setup required with the stand and keyboard I actually kinda like how it looks when it's all put together.
With the ports, you might be able to use an external GPU. :)
@@shadowsmirk mac user don't like this fact 😂
Absolutely terrific video review. It was like hanging with a friend who has one giving you the full scoop. Nice Job! Love the unit. Curious, how would yo see this compared to the Asus Duo?
I always have a portable monitor with me anyway. Love to see these comeout.
LMAO at 7:34 the upper lid slowly opens up. Great hinge design!
Great review.I am using zenbook duo for now this seems to be a worthy upgrade for me in future.
I have been seeking videos for this amazing Laptop… EXACTLY for the reason of DayTrading with it!!! Seriously, you’re the ONLY one who mentioned that functionality and mobile/travel workflow for this device out of all the video reviews I’ve seen of it! Seriously was shouting, “F YEAAAAA!” Hahaha, totally got a trip out of it, much props for thinking of that, and many thanks for all your videos! Cheers
haha glad I could help! Thanks for watching J B = )
Great product and review. Love innovation like this anf flexibility in use cases! However the keyboard feels a bit cheap and I have not too much confidence about the typing experience being good. But using a better external keyboard is made super easy by this design!
Nice review and i love this design so much.
Imagine if lenovo does an update on software and you can use it as a portable monitor for your switch. That be cool.
Great review Matthew! Love your videos! Cannot wait to get mine. Should receive mine by 05/23/23.
@@piambr where may I order one please?
@katsuki116 I ordered mine on Lenovo website, but they are sold out right now. They will be available to order on May 19th again and will be available on June 6th.
What was the price?
@@chrisjoel247 $2100.00
For the past three years I have been using a Asus Zenbook Duo for the sole purpose of it's dual screens. Before that, I used to carry around a USB external monitor. Having two screens is infinately better for productivity and it is 100% the first thing I look for these days. This Yoga Book 9i is simply ingenious and it is exactly what I want in a portable computer. I have just ordered one :)
great review, thank you!
cant wait to buy mine! perfect for day trading, will have this beast with me when i travel the globe next year!
This is going to be so cool for day trade. I can image I will split the two screens into 2 more each so I'll have 4 screens in total + my current laptop. Game changer.
A great review from different user perspectives.
love the design and concept
Love the idea. When the Microsoft Surface launched, i was amazed by the fact that the 2-1 concept- However in the time i didnt had the money and already had a laptiop. Now things changed, since i do gaming in a ps5 my main concern is using as a tablet also, but i like a lot to simplify my things. I use a dual screen sometimes. This will help me.
so happy to learn that the battery last longer than 8 hours. i always use external keyboard even while on the road so this seems really good for me. that being said, i really hate that they only have thunderbolt port and not even a usb-c. that mean i'll have to carry a hub, too. what a pain..
Thunderbolt supports USB-C - same plugs, USB built into Thunderbolt spec.
Microsoft Duo enthusiast checking in. I’m ecstatic for this product, and I think it will replace my Microsoft Surface Pro that I love. Great vid.
incredible review!
Thank you !
Great review. I really like the concept. I prefer two separate screen than foldable one.
For a second I thought you had it lying on a mirror.
The cool tech in this...not so long ago this would look like sci-fi.
If I had money I would buy it for the coolness of it alone.
So, newspaper article eh? Nice. Can you please fax me the pamphlet of this laptop?
Facepalm on the lack of 3.5mm jack and SD card slot. Just...*sigh*.
Can you switch off one of the two screens completely and use external, cable, keyboard and mouse?
Great video man, thank you for sharing.
Thanks Matt. I have been waiting for this since the neo was announced. Great balanced review. I was worried about battery as well, good to hear it was solid. Got mine on order....
How? Still shows "coming soon" for me on both the American and Canada sites
@@Heliosvector June 2023.
I REALLY REALLY want to try DS emulation on this😂😂
i think it is ideal for people doing research work where they are typing a document while at the same time browsing through multiple articles and sites
Day traders only have forty five monitors in front of them? What's wrong them? Is this the 1840s? Thank you for another good video, Matt. Good to see you are still pumping out the quality material.
Right? I need at least one monitor per asset.
That thing looks insane.
that laptop would work so well for productivity if going overseas or something but a lack of a connected keyboard is kinda a problem well personally for me
Bought this for my daughter few days back, its an extremely good laptop for her online classes ,she attends class and takes down notes too, the display is very good, build quality looks and feels supreme, pen is just ok ok, its a novel device ,the concept should catch on as it has great potential
Śaw this at CES… looks very well implemented!
Thank you so much for the review. I still think it’s such a cool laptop but if you hadn’t put the picture in my mind of everyone staring at my screens at Starbucks I would’ve bought it and big regretted 😂
Totally sick product. As someone who needs to markup documents on the fly, this is a great solution. Would be great if my firm supported it.
Nice video , I'm very fussy with ease of use, and I dont think its a process to use as traditional laptop.
Setting stand means having 2 screens , which at the moment cant do with any laptop, i was just looking into dual screen monitors that can attach to laptop, not pretty or easy. No Apple laptop is touch screen meaning Ipad, and for bluetooth mouse even with apple laptop i have to have a seperate mouse. So if you ask me its actually much easier then traditional laptop.
It will be nice to have this for
Conducting my online zoom classes, with the main session on the top screen, and the breakout rooms at the bottom screen. Just wondering if it can take that type of load for at least three hours session, with all the students having their web cams on ?
Currently I’m using my MacBook Pro M1 13” and iPad Pro as my second screen.
Excellent video sir.
Thank you!
@@MatthewMoniz most welcome
Yoga"Book" never ceases to amaze.
Now a days most of the software development tasks are RAM hungry. I think Lenovo should have a configurable option for RAM and it should be 16, 32 & 64 GB.
Totally agree, in 2023 minimum required memory size for a developer's laptop is 32GB.
What did you find out about the heat coming from the device? I heard it does get super-hot. One reviewer appeared to have it up above 105 degrees Fahrenheit.
I need a version with more horsepower. You mentioned "you don't buy this to edit videos all day", but that's literally what I want, a portable laptop with two screens that I can make music and edit videos on.
what's CAD pricing? is it still projected June launch? can't seem to find it at the links
in the future , each screen will have its own CPU so we can detach the screen and have 2 separated tablets. 😀 or even more , it will have modular system where we can attach 2 or more yoga book to build larger screen panel.
only thing i don't like is no upgrade options. i would love to have this but with a 144hz screen because that's what i'm used to now. definitely would have paid more for the option even if i had to sacrifice the 2k for a 1080
8:04 Can you have Kindle open on the left screen and a note-taking app on the right side? Is there even Goodnotes for Windows?
They need to make a 18 inch version with upgradable ram
would you really flip it 360 and expose the second screen onto whatever on the desk that may scratch the screen?
Lenovo really play the concept of Yoga Book
It might be an upgrade from Yoga Book (Android & Windows) from 2016
If I have a work laptop, can I connect a hdmi to usbc cable and this yoga laptop becomes a dual screen where I can see content from the work laptop (like an external monitor?)
How heavy is the whole bundle? I carry my LG Gram 16 and the LG view screen in short trips and all is barely 2kg for 16 inch screens, not 14in. On the other hand I never get more than 5-6 hours of battery with both screens, but usually I I am plugged to the mains for this. It is really a very interesting concept, the stand is very innovative also. I have to place the screen on my side, need too much space. With this stand you can work with 2 screens in a very narrow place, this is unique. It is tempting.
The whole bundle should come in at less than 4 pounds. The laptop itself will be right around 3 pounds.
I think this is the next best "if i can say innovation" , being so tired of having many devices, this is like all in one. I would have bought it straight away if i don't hate windows. Wish it can have any other OS :(😪
wow, that webcam and mic are quite good.
"but i don't think it's for everybody" Do you think $2000+ laptops are for everybody? You get the idea. Every laptop has its specific niche, it goes without saying...
You should tell us or open the laptop to check if the drive is upgradable in future videos
Would appreciate if you can compare this with Asus Zenbook 17 Fold OLED.
Looks like an extremely refined version of the intel honeycomb glacier laptop prototype.
Gimme 120 Hz adaptive refresh rates and apple silicon grade processor efficiency, and it will be my dream laptop. Maybe in a generation or two.
If you upgrade to Windows 11 23H2 or Windows 12, will it break the built-in customizations on this unit? Thanks.
Hi. I have bought this pc for use in day trading. I haven’t received it yet but I’m excited too try it out in live trading.
One weird thing is that your video and most websites say the cost of the laptop is $2100 usd which is $3162 AUD but on the Lenovo Australian website it states the laptop starts at $4349 AUD (about $2889 USD) which is insane for a laptop. I hope the Lenovo developer made a typo there😂😂
Yep it's expensive. If you haggle you can get about 10% off. Mine is coming tomorrow and I got the i5 with 2 year onsite warranty and a bag for 3600 AUD. I reckon you could do better if you try. Exchange rate and inflation is a bitch...
@@MrReedmonkey yeah, it's also hard finding anything about this laptop, I thought it was coming out late June but your comment indicates its already out which doesn't make sense to me as if I search for this laptop online all I can find is the Lenovo listing and a bunch of articles from January talking about it it's reveal in CES.
Would you recommend this for an architecture student?
How is the Keyboards battery, is it something that you have to charge separately once a month, does it charge through the laptop or is it some other way entirely?
Battery lasts about a month its a long time and you can charge it with any USB Type-C cable
@@MatthewMoniz thank you, it would've been awesome if it charged though the laptop to make it more intuitive but the battery life makes it okay.
Is keyboard has a light on key
Is this good for developers? Would you suggest
I need that equipment for my 2d animation workflow.
Is the anti-glare coating good?
Love it but need discreet graphics. Still...a mouthwatering laptop.
how does it beat an pc / Mac connected to a portable monitor?
I love so many things about this and couldn't wait for it to come out, but the omission of a headphone jack is a complete deal-breaker for me. Sorry Lenovo, but some of us want all the features. Waiting for the next version..
If this version doesn't have headphone jack, don't expect the next one to have. Just trying to save you some time of waiting.
@@michailgeroulis8890 You are most likely right but there's still a shred of a chance maybe if they make a larger screen version.
Great video. Thanks. Looks perfect for coding web apps
How do you guys buy it everytime I use link it just brings me to website and when I try to find it they only have the 9i that’s just one screen.
I think it's cool but a little too much for my needs. I don't see myself using this on a plane or even a coffee shop. Seems more like it belongs in 2 screen form on my desktop and regular laptop mode everywhere else. In that case I would just get a second monitor. Instead for $690 I purchased the ZenBook duo and I love it. Two screens all the time while still keeping a usable laptop form factor. Having a second screen is fantastic but I don't need a second full screen. But I can see how this could be perfect for some.
Can I use a Bluetooth headphone simultaneously with a Bluetooth keyboard?
This really, really should have had an anti-glare screen. Lenovo does anti-glare very well, so there was no reason not to.
Great !!!
Awesome video. Did anyone ever tell you that you look and sound a lot like Ryan Reynolds?
please lenovo make a monitor only version of this PLEASEE!!!!!!
That would be cool!
One problem ony, it costs almost 2700 euros in the EU... That is more than a salary after tax...
I dont get it.
Why do you need a virtual trackpad when it is a touch screen?
Does it have an SD card slot? 5G?
You can get a 16” macbook pro with M1 Pro; 16gb ram; 1tb ssd for 1650$
Where can buy it?
what if they used ryzen 7736u in this one?
laptop of the future. wish no henge in the middle, like the Huawei mate, open into a full piece of paper, full liquid rollable, slide out rollable keyboard.
The guy knows tech AND does his own taxes? color me impressed xD
haha i don't mess around!
Can I connect it to an Oled c2?
hi, how strong the screens are? how much wear n tear it can survive? nice video
That doesn't matter.
These aren't foldable displays. These are regular hard glass displays.
No audio jack, no deal. Also watch out for quality control issues.
Need footage of it running Linux and features still working
Crazy❤
Now could you hook up a external thunderbolt GPU and show me some games on it.
Super cool but no headphone jack 😢
will it work with Linux/Ubuntu?
No hdmi, but this thing seems dope
can it turn 360 degree ?
