![]() It's like a really clunky Nintendo DS with a tiny library. Asphalt 9, Modern Combat 5 and Dungeon Hunter 5 (all free in the Microsoft store, albeit with in-app purchase options), use the top screen for the main game and the bottom screen for a small map, alongside some controls. The only other major use for using both screens simultaneously is in a few games. There is a gesture to make applications take up both screens, which works OK, but I found the soundbar in the middle to be distracting. Some might prefer a more traditional horizontal alignment with two screens stacked on top of each other. My preference was to keep the two screens oriented vertically, which showed more text in writing, Slack windows, articles I was reading and on social media. They really look great, together and on their own. Displays on the Lenovo Yoga Book 9iĮach of the 13.3-inch, 2880 x 1800 OLED screens are beautiful. The CPU package's average temperature was 75.79 degrees Celsius (168.42 degrees Fahrenheit). The Intel Core i7-1355U's two performance cores ran at an average of 3.01 GHz during the stress test, while the eight efficiency cores averaged 2.25 GHz. Notably, at run 16, there was a sharp drop to 6,362.64 before recovering, suggesting some throttling. The laptop started with a score of 8,099.95 and then, as the computer heated up, steadied out in the mid-7,000's. To push the Yoga Book 9i to its limits, we ran our stress test, looping Cinebench R23 for 20 runs. The MacBook Air left the rest of the crowd in the dust at 7:52, and the P-Series Yoga 9i was actually slightly slower here at 9:45. The Yoga Book 9i was the fastest in the pool on Handbrake, transcoding a 4K video to 1080p in 9 minutes and 19 seconds. Lenovo's SSD in the Yoga Book 9i transferred 25GB of files at a a rate of 1,296.15 MBps, beaten only by its other SSD (in the regular 9i) at 1,669.29 MBps. The MacBook Air's M2 chip also beat out the Yoga Book 9i in both single-core and multi-core scores (1,932/8.919). On single-core, it was close to the Lenovo Yoga 9i (Intel Core i7-1360P) at 1,827 points, but the regular Yoga 9i's multi-core score of 9,954 was the highest on the list. That's faster than the other foldable on this list, the single-screened Asus Zenbook Fold 17 OLED, which uses last year's Intel Core i7-1250U. On Geekbench 5, the Yoga Book 9i notched a single-core score of 1,813 and a multi-core score of 7,765. If you want slightly higher clocks, Lenovo uses Intel's P-series processors in the regular Yoga 9i. Lenovo's dual-screen PC is running off of an Intel Core i7-1355U, 16GB of LPDDR5X-6400, and a 512GB PCIe Gen 4 SSD.įor simple tasks, like web browsing, writing and editing documents and spreadsheets and even basic coding, this is more than enough. Productivity Performance on the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i Asus' take on a foldable, the Zenbook 17 Fold OLED with a single folding screen, is 3.31 pounds before accessories and measures 14.9 x 11.32 x 0.51 inches when folded.Ģx 13.3-inch, 2880 x 1800, OLED, 16:10 touchscreensģx Thunderbolt 4 (ports on right have AOU BC 1.2 support)ġ1.78 x 8.03 x 0.63 inches / 299.1 x 203.9 x 15.95 mmįolio stand, Bluetooth keyboard, Bluetooth mouse, Lenovo Digital Pen 3 But it's still small enough to be portable and put in a bag.Īpple's MacBook Air with M2 is 2.7 pounds and 11.97 x 8.46 x 0.44 inches, while Lenovo's closest traditional convertible in name, the Lenovo Yoga 9i, is 3.09 pounds and 12.52 x 9.05 x 0.6 inches. I didn't find it natural to hold Lenovo's foldable like a book. ![]() I suppose, with the mouse and keyboard paired over Bluetooth, Lenovo assumes one more item wouldn't be a big deal.Īt 11.78 x 8.03 x 0.63 inches and 3.15 pounds, the Yoga Book 9i is a bit on the heavy side, especially for a tablet. Lenovo is the latest attacker in the war against the 3.5 mm headphone jack. When holding the Yoga Book like a laptop, the left side has as a single Thunderbolt 4 port, while the right side has two more TB4 ports, an e-camera privacy switch and the power button. In practice it's not a big deal, but I'm not going to pretend I didn't notice. The two halves of the laptop aren't equal in thickness, when using the two screens at a desk, one is a few millimeters closer to you than the other. That hinge allows the dual screens to work like a typical 2-in-1 laptop, folding all the way back into a tablet (which turns off one of the screens) or into tent mode, with a screen on each side. ![]()
