Lenovo announced a bunch of laptops and devices at CES 2023, but the show’s start was its Yoga Book 9i, which the company claims is the world’s first dual OLED screen laptop. However, it does not come cheap, starting at $2,099.99. The device will be available starting in June this year. 

All screen or foldable screen laptops aren’t something new. In fact, consumer-ready dual-screen laptops have been on the market for some time now, including Lenovo’s very own Thinkpad Fold X1. However, the Yoga Book 9i stands out in its implementation.

While most manufacturers often compromise on the second screen Lenovo has stuck together two 13.3-inch 2.8K OLED screens with a 360-degree hinge and called it a day. In its conventional form, one of the screens doubles up as a keyboard/trackpad combo and the other is used as a regular display.

However, the laptop does come with an additional physical Bluetooth keyboard that frees up both screens to be used simultaneously. They can be used in both a landscape form stacked on top of each other or in a portrait mode where they sit side by side.

This is made possible thanks to the included folio stands. Since the screen isn’t folding, there are no creases or durability issues to worry about. The hinge also doubles up as a sound bar that includes four Bowers & Wilkins speakers. Finally, there’s also pen support. 

The laptop is powered by the 13th generation Intel Core i7-U15, which should be a reasonably good processor considering the use case. Paired with the 16GB RAM and the 80 WHr battery, this could be a very useful machine for people on the go. 

Here are the hardware specifications.

The Yoga 9i AIO will be available starting at $1,799.99 from Q3 2023.
