The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i (Gen 9) is a well-executed 2-in-1 laptop that delivers a beautiful dual-screen monitor experience on the go. After PC fans spent years watching Microsoft cancel devices like the Courier tablet and dual-screen Surface Neo PC, it’s great to see Lenovo deliver year after year, upgrading last year’s successful experiment with the latest Intel hardware. If you want a lot of screen that you can take with you, this machine delivers a better experience than Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Fold—and it’s less expensive, too.
SPECS
The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i has a retail price of $1,999, and it includes an Intel Core Ultra 7 155U CPU, Intel integrated graphics, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB solid-state drive for storage.
This PC’s Intel Core Ultra 7 155U is a little different from the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H CPU we’ve used on many laptops we’ve reviewed lately. Both are CPUs from Intel’s new Meteor Lake line of processors, but the U model—as featured in this laptop—is more focused on power efficiency. Specifically, the 155U processor here has a lower TDP (thermal design power), which means it will generate less heat. It also has fewer cores than its 155H cousin.

Additionally, the 155U has less powerful integrated graphics hardware than the 155H laptops. The integrated Intel graphics here isn’t branded as “Intel Arc” like on those 155H systems: it’s just “Intel graphics.” This laptop’s hardware is more focused on power efficiency and heat dissipation, which makes sense when you realize you’re getting two OLED displays attached via a hinge. Those are going to use more power than a typical laptop with just a single screen.
You do get a for accelerating AI tasks as part of Intel’s Core Ultra platform. Windows can’t do much with it yet, but it’s future-proof if Microsoft starts requiring it for , as we
