Lenovo Yoga Book 9i REVIEW - 45-Days Later

[@GearWave]

This device is SO SICK!!! how am i just seeing one of these in Bestbuy for the first time. OMG this is so freakin cool and versatile. I have the laptop sitting on the arm of my man cave chair and the keyboard on my lap typing this comment. Just gotta find out how to setup different pages on each of the screens more seamlessly. SO many ways to attack work and be productive. Thank you Lenovo for bringing this out in the DOPE color blue. Good to see some colors other than silver, grey and black.

[@Sarah726G]

I'm a bookkeeper and need at least 2 screens. I love mine. Quiet, beautiful screens, easy to use, great keyboard, speakers are impressive. Super happy

[@abcdef7660]

Mate , it's stil good till today?

[@Dogo.R]

I'd love if you gave noise measurements in dBA, it is a superior when referring to human perception of noise.

[@trevorsoh2130]

I wasn't considering a Lenovo Laptop for creative work, but if they can include at rtx card in this slim format in future models, they could win me over - although that seems unlikely for another few years.

[@stevoblevo]

indeed. very innovative though. this thing looks so amazing

[@WW-tg5pu]

I have the 2024 version with 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD - I love this thing! It serves my needs perfectly. Excellent design and build. The fluidity of the dual screens and the oled colour is exceptional

[@abcdef7660]

Mate, do you have any issues now?

[@DanielleRenee0201]

Can you give an update? How would you rate it compared to a MacBook Pro (if you have experience to make that comparison) Would you recommend it for a college student over other options??

[@arthasfrost]

one thing reviewers not very often mentioned that the device has been passed the EVO benchmarking which helps tremendously to decide whether if this is a more functional device to go for

[@superblessedgal]

What does that mean?

[@LostAndHangry]

Lenovo. I need a 16 inch 4k version of this laptop! Make it happen now!

[@Romul999]

Great video as usual!

[@fmulleady]

It's a groundbreaking product. Beautifully engineered and made. Great for normal productivity & multi-tasking. Excellent speakers, webcam, & a superb inbuilt microphone array. Nice review AMD, you should do some dance moves on the speaker test in your shades lol!

[@NinjaSushi2]

I've watched a number of your review videos the last few days and I watch a lot of KZbin and reviews and I have to say that you are one of the best. I thoroughly enjoy your attention to detail and your expert opinion and perspective. Thank you for the video sir.

[@andrewmarcdavid]

Glad you like them!

[@FrancoBarbagallo1]

Are they doing a refresh in 2024? I own it I love it id like a newer processor a little faster, black color and a 14.4 inch dual display and a physical magnetic trackpad attached to the keyboard like the one on the hp foldable laptop

[@petepaxton5109]

I purchased this early on and I'm just fascinated by the dual screens. It's fairly fast though it does stutter some. The battery life is decent/good considering it has two screens. But to be honest I think this is perfect for a) people who absolutely need two large screens, b) those who can use it in an office, hotel room, or home office setup. But to be honest I actually found it cumbersome at times. It's just way to big for using both screens on an airplane. And it even seemed kinda weird using it in a coffee shop. And then the price - it's very expensive. So, I ended up going with the Asus Zenbook duo. I can use it in dual screen laptop form whenever it's open and the second screen with the keyboard is a real second screen unlike the 9i when the keyboard is attached. It's actually the perfect size for what I need a second screen for. And I paid less than $700.

[@gurugamer8632]

ASUs zenbook dou which is best one ?

[@RK-um9tu]

Can someone explain why a TOUCHPAD matters on any touch screen laptop with pen support? TOUCHPADs are a thousand times slower than using your finger or a pen. Using a mouse is a hundred times faster than a TOUCHPAD. TOUCHPADs are also difficult to use in cramped spaces like an airplane.

[@gcontr1]

Audio and Video are excellent, you are clear and audio is very good

[@NinjaSushi2]

I'm not sure if I received a bad product but my laptop bricked and I had to return it. I had a Yoga Book 9i and it was sluggish and laggy.

[@nicelalija]

Ohhhhhh great review and channel

[@Newbee786]

Does this support lockdown browser that universities uses for exams???

[@twospirits411]

Very good review as always. A suggestion if I may, with these new dual screens and foldable laptops, it may be good to take measurements of the height and width when they are in their portrait and landscape modes. I can't really tell if there is enough clearance placing it under a work environment station with overhead bins.

[@imagin64]

Excellent review, thank always 👏

I ordered the 32gb ram 1tb version yesterday for 2399 euros, I hope I will be happy. But my mind is still on the asus zenbook duo

[@mannyw_]

How do you like it?

@@mannyw_ Overall, I like it. The screen, appearance, and build quality are very good. What I didn’t like is that the screen is too small, the battery drains faster than I expected, and the performance isn’t that great. If this computer had a 15-inch size and a better graphics card, it would be perfect. Right now, I would give it a 7 out of 10

[@mannyw_]

Do you have the 155U version, or the other one with the older processor? Disappointed to hear the performance is lackluster

[@kenhew4641]

Just wished Lenovo went with the Ryzen processors with apu, the graphics performance would be the equivalent of the gtx1650 which is powerful enough to play AAA games in a slim package such as this

[@AlexandruChircu]

How is the experience using it outdoors, at an outside cafe or park bench? Low nits + reflective probably means it's impossible to see anything on the screens, and if you stick a matte protector you'll have even lower brightness.

[@stevoblevo]

ports are 'full function' but reports have come out that they generally don't output enough power for some peripherals

[@stevoblevo]

very well done review man. earned a sub here. ty I hear there are problems currently with getting an external GPU to work. FYI

[@tda1768]

the audio sound muffled. Thank you for the review. I would love the duel screens for trading. But definitely not fast enough. unless you do Lenovos build your own

[@Trevor4364]

I am very tempted to buy one of these but I want to get some idea of battery life in typical, real world use with those two displays.

[@Romul999]

Is there an updated version in 2024 and 25? I want to buy one but maybe to wait for an updated new version?

[@ioaniro]

Hesitated a bit about getting the yoga book, very interesting device. Two screens would be great in many scenarios. In the end I went for the more traditional Rog Flow X13 (2023) and keeping the Yoga book in mind for the 3rd iteration.

[@lavinder11]

This is the third iteration.

[@williamcohen3351]

Nice computer for those who need and want something different. I realize you make these videos before you release them on Monday morning. Best Buy changes their prices and sales on Monday morning. As a result most if not all these computers you show at Best Buy are not on sale anymore. I think you might want to look closer at this before you show these Best Buy prices of these computers when you release a video on a Monday Morning. Just a thought. Anyway great review of this Lenovo computer.

[@andrewmarcdavid]

Looking into that thanks

[@turkeyphant]

Where's the weight measurement of all the parts?

[@VideogamesAsArt]

Very interesting one. I wonder if one of the screens deteriorates quickly due to temperatures, how did they manage to keep this performance with very quiet fan noise is beyond me. This with an AMD APU would be incredible!

[@1elmtreenassim14]

is the keyboard backlit?

[@stanjs]

The OLED screens are not HDCP-compliant. This stops 4k HDR streaming on Netflix.

[@guillaumem3810]

Thanks very much for this nice review ! i am now hesitating in getting this laptop to replace my 3 year old thinkpad, there is now a flash sale on lenovo in europe for about 1800 for the 1GB SSD version. I was wondering about 2 things : when switching between different modes (tablet, dual screen portrait, double screen landscape, laptop) how smooth is the transition ? Did you experience any issues with some apps which cannot move smoothly between the two displays ? And is it possible to downgrade to Windows 10 on this laptop ?

[@zero9ee]

I love mine. But there was no mouse in the package . I don't know if it is included in all regions or only North America?

[@AA-flyguy]

HEY ANDREW!!!, Hope everything is going great for you… EXCELLENT quality video and review as always!!👌🙌

[@andrewmarcdavid]

Thanks! Really appreciate it

[@kayjaylin]

I'm annoyed it doesn't have a rtx card.

[@tillmansr2002]

Andrew, very good video. The type of review I've been looking for. Does the product have a front side camera?

[@aspirinemaga]

I dont get it why is everything so much cheaper in USA than in europe ? cars, laptops, techs... why it can't be the same in europe ? 2000 usd for this laptop in usa, 3999 euros in europe (4300 usd)

[@DEB-830]

Only con it has is not having a dedicated graphics card!

[@jeffdaly9365]

But the integrated graphics isn't too big of a con. I've edited photos and video on this.

[@rafaelperez9652]

The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i is definitely a UNIQUE product, perfect for the content creator with its dual 2.8K OLED displays, clear 1080p webcam and array mics. The audio quality of the built-in speakers while good, it does not compare to the quality of the MacBook Pro's. In conclusion, for $1999.99 at Best Buy, while certainly not cheap, it is worth every penny and kudos to Lenovo for innovation! Great review Andrew!! 👍😁

[@RK-um9tu]

Audio soeakers are not important because most people will be using ear buds or head phones. The real issue is that MacBooks don't have anything close to basic 21st century features -touch screen -pen support -2-in-1 design -180 degree screen -dual screens -instant on/face recognition -finger print sensor And a host of other features. No one wonder MacBooks only have 8% marketshare.

[@rafaelperez9652]

@@RK-um9tu I am not partial to either Windows or Macs. I was just making an unbiased comparison regarding the audio quality of both.

[@Scolopente]

I've just ordered it in the UK for $2600 ... I wish we had Best Buy here! Although of course in the UK tax is included.

[@KPNGaming]

I’m still waiting for mine. Lenovo has pushed back my order 4 times. I ordered the hour it got released. expected delivery time 9/27 its was originally 6/28… wtf Lenovo

[@ericcai1414]

Same here man

[@tamjeanell]

Got mine...direct from Lenovo...Best Buy no stock

[@azlanj253]

I ordered on June 9. Got it on July 27. My delivery got pushed back several times up to September, but I got a surprise delivery last Friday.

[@85yongky]

The issue i have is the display scale cant stay permenant. it will go back to 200% once you restart the yogabook 9i

[@abcdef7660]

Any issue else you have?

[@NinjaSushi2]

You should do a video on why laptop keyboards are getting worse and worse. I'm looking at upgrading from my T530 and all these laptop keyboards are total crap by comparison. We have devolved the technology. I am thinking of buying this beautiful multitaskers dream (the book 9i) and building a 65% mechanical keyboard to carry with it.

[@shadowfallenable]

RTX GPU is a must for that price. Asus Zenbook wins by a mile. 💯

[@abiryt3552]

tis is i think for business purpose. ill try later. bet suited for for my kind of business: trading and investment.

[@NationJJ]

Would be great for travel once we get a gaming laptop like this. This ine is absolutely not worth $2000 plus tax. 😅

[@geneobrien8907]

I think this 9i may not be appealing for most users. The location of the start button is badly placed, the dual screen feature along with all of the accessories won't be practical when working at anything but a desk and the ports are too few. I'm sticking to my 2022 9i, it has more ports, a 4k OLED panel, its lighter and it cost me only $1350 at BB, with 1tb SSD and 16g RAM. However, I am waiting for the 14.5" Lenovo Tab Extreme tablet but I can't find one anywhere!

[@bishalbiswas6048]

Headphones jack .... U series??????? No gpu??????? 13 inch naaa better 18 inch ....... Design could have improved Keyboard backlight ??????? Number of c ports should be increased

I love my I9 Book My wishes for next gen are: Physical Trackpad magnetic attachment along with keyboard, wither in 1 piece or a 2 piece, slightly larger screens 14.4 or similar a little more brightness, and 5g capability I'd pay 3k for this upgrades in a second
