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.
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
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 😂
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 :)
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.
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...
LMAO at 7:34 the upper lid slowly opens up. Great hinge design!
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.
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.
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.
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 = )
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
I REALLY REALLY want to try DS emulation on this😂😂
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.
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.
Great review.I am using zenbook duo for now this seems to be a worthy upgrade for me in future.
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.
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.
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!
I always have a portable monitor with me anyway. Love to see these comeout.
That thing looks insane.
Śaw this at CES… looks very well implemented!
cant wait to buy mine! perfect for day trading, will have this beast with me when i travel the globe next year!
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.
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.
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.
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?
They need to make a 18 inch version with upgradable ram
Awesome review Matthew! Makes me want mine even more now. Should receive it next week!
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
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.
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 :(😪
"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...
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 😂
Great review. I really like the concept. I prefer two separate screen than foldable one.
A great review from different user perspectives.
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.
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.
please lenovo make a monitor only version of this PLEASEE!!!!!!
That would be cool!
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.
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.
Nice review and i love this design so much.
great review, thank you!
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.
Lenovo really play the concept of Yoga Book
It might be an upgrade from Yoga Book (Android & Windows) from 2016
Yoga"Book" never ceases to amaze.
Most people: 2 screens would be awesome.
Me: I can use this with a 14" lapdock and have 3 screens, a real keyboard, and not rely on Bluetooth.
I only wish a major company would release a lapdock so the build quality could improve over the current offerings. Using a lapdock with a tablet subverts expectation. People think you are using a portable monitor but the "brain" is actually the slate and the clamshell is the dumb accessory.
What lapdock do you use?
@@PSYCHOV3N0M I got it from Amazon. It's some random 14" with a battery and touchscreen. It works fine but the build quality could be so much better. Especially the trackpad.
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.
I notice companies are releasing all these crazy multiple/foldable displays only for all physical displays to become obsolete once ar glasses replace them soon. People will basically carry around a phone sized device in their pocket while the glasses provide all the display real estate you could want. the tech is there, just no one has presented it in a great package yet. fingers crossed apple finally announces next month for everyone else to get onboard and move the tech forward.
Already the screens are killing our eyes, having screens almost next to our eyeballs will totally atrophy our eye muscles. There is a reason VR glasses never caught up, many people complain of headaches. When I look at a bigger monitor I move my eyes around, come close to look at something small before I zoom, etc. Your idea in paper looks good but in practice it will not work. Also in an office environment you want to look at the screen and at people around you without taking your glasses off. And I use 6 monitors at home and 4-5 when I travel (laptop + 3-4 portable monitors), the glasses would never be sufficient and I want to choose which screen I will concentrate on, how I am supposed to do this with the glasses?
@@skipper63400 ar is different to vr because it is see through, you can still gaze at your environment and see whats around you. also with ar, you do not have screens burning your eyes, the image is projected on the glass from the sides. totally different tech. I suggest you do research some videos about it
love the design and concept
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
The guy knows tech AND does his own taxes? color me impressed xD
haha i don't mess around!
Awesome video. Did anyone ever tell you that you look and sound a lot like Ryan Reynolds?
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.
Excellent video sir.
Thank you!
@@MatthewMoniz most welcome
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
You should tell us or open the laptop to check if the drive is upgradable in future videos
incredible review!
Thank you !
Do I need it? No. Am I probably going to buy it? Absolutely
😂
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.
Love it but need discreet graphics. Still...a mouthwatering laptop.
Looks like an extremely refined version of the intel honeycomb glacier laptop prototype.
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.
One problem ony, it costs almost 2700 euros in the EU... That is more than a salary after tax...
This really, really should have had an anti-glare screen. Lenovo does anti-glare very well, so there was no reason not to.
wow, that webcam and mic are quite good.
would you really flip it 360 and expose the second screen onto whatever on the desk that may scratch the screen?
I need that equipment for my 2d animation workflow.
No audio jack, no deal. Also watch out for quality control issues.
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?
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.
Super cool but no headphone jack 😢
Would appreciate if you can compare this with Asus Zenbook 17 Fold OLED.
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?)
I dont get it.
Why do you need a virtual trackpad when it is a touch screen?
what's CAD pricing? is it still projected June launch? can't seem to find it at the links
Great video. Thanks. Looks perfect for coding web apps
I think you can put the pen at the back of the case, there's a slot at the case
how does it beat an pc / Mac connected to a portable monitor?
No hdmi, but this thing seems dope
Can I use a Bluetooth headphone simultaneously with a Bluetooth keyboard?
If you upgrade to Windows 11 23H2 or Windows 12, will it break the built-in customizations on this unit? Thanks.
Frameworks make this!
So people laughed at LG's detachable Dual Screen case for their V50/G8X/V60/Velvet flagship smartphone because foldable screen smartphones is "better" (which always never has been at all), and yet overwhelming praise this thing? My goodness, such hypocrisy from the so-called "techies" and "enthusiasts".
Great product, naïve and unimaginative review.
Didn't demonstrate drawing but kept yakking about the redundant trackpad provided for the boomers.
Accounting, this is what you want to do on this thing?
No idea.
too bad that the price is like 2 laptops. 2500€. i like the two screens but 100% more price does not make sense. I'd like it to be 50% more expensive or 60% not 100%
Audio jack?! What is this, 1960?!?
Would you recommend this for an architecture student?
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.
Need footage of it running Linux and features still working
Is this good for developers? Would you suggest
Is the anti-glare coating good?
Now could you hook up a external thunderbolt GPU and show me some games on it.
Just swap to arm-based CPU and that's going to be a killer thing.
