I just received this device a few days ago. It is truly amazing. I initially thought there was a stuck pixel in one of the stock Lenovo backgrounds. It is an imperfection in the photo. I suspect there will be others who will also believe they have a stuck pixel, but it is just the photo. The battery life on this device is excellent for what you are receiving. I was initially concerned about the heat from the device. A number of reviewers had marked this as at least an area of concern. I have not found that to be an issue. I believe folks who have mentioned this issue are forgetting this device is not for gaming and is only for productivity and media consumption. All in all, for the first few days, this device has lived up to the hype.

The idea of this dual screen set up is great. Graphics are high quality and the processor is top notch. The onscreen keyboard is more for hunt & peck typing. The physicsl keyboard works good but i could never get the mouse to pop up when i placed the keyboard on the bottom screen.
This is not a device if you are in the go. The set up of the screens, holder, keyboard and mouse was very cumbersome. It's a great set up if you are stationary.

Got this laptop delivered from Best buy on release day and shipping was perfect. The unboxing experience is first class and I was in awe from the first time I opened the clamshell and seeing the 2 beautiful screens. I'm still getting used to the virtual trackpad and keyboard. I can't wait to put the dual screens through their paces for some heavy research and/or just browsing and streaming.
I'm not certain of I will keep the laptop yet only because after using it I'm not 100% convinced I even need this technology because I already have an ultra wide monitor at home and I work from home so don't really need the portability of 2 screens on a laptop. Overall is a very cool laptop and I can imagine it being great for individuals on the go that need the dual screens.
Only con I can think of is that there's some slight stutter here and there when launching waterfall mode or launching Lenovo's in house settings.
But overall I'm pretty pleased with it and trying to convince myself that I do need it.

Shipping was fine for me. Wow! I love this form factor already. I have a Surface Duo 2, so this matches what I'm used to with my phone. I have been able to prop up both screens on a flat pillow and enjoy landscape or portrait multitasking. It's been a long time since I've really enjoyed a laptop. Definitely recommend for professionals who need a portable device that still does multitasking without carrying a separate screen.

Absolutely recommend! I have been a die hard Microsoft Surface fan for many years. Twice now I have had harddrive failure issues. Last time it was on a $1700 surface I only had for abt a year. Reluctantly I decided time to switch. After a month of using this I do love it. This does take getting use to because of the multiple ways it can be used. Most of the time I do not use the keyboard that came with it. I use the display keyboard. At first it felt strange, but I have gotten use to it. There have been times that I open a program and it ended up hidden under the keyboard on the bottom display! Took while to figure out what I was doing and how to fix that. The size of the laptop itself is similar to the Surface. I rarely use it sitting at a desk and hold it in my hands while kicking back in a chair, couch or bed. If I am at a desk I do use the keyboard and it is nice. The computer is comfortable to hold and use. It did take a 5 foot drop onto the floor. Thought for sure one of those screens must have cracked. It was a hard impact drop...I was shocked zero damage! It's more solid than I had expected it to be. I did purchase the protection warranty from Best Buy. Although I do wish I didnt. When you set this up you will see Lenovo offers you some great protection warranty options at a really good price! You may want to look into that since it is half of what I paid with Best Buy. The screen/screens are absolutely stunning. If you are a multi tasker you will love the screen space. Battery life gets me through the day and charges quickly. Computer is impressive and when people see you with it set up- it turns heads. This is certainly a computer to look at if you are a multi- tasker and love that screen space! Good job Lenovo.

Two Screens are Better than One

This is a pretty neat laptop with two screens. You probably know that already if you're looking at this model. It's powerful enough for most work and slim enough that it's not too heavy. Yes, you could attach a second monitor to pretty much any laptop but it's still not the same as using the Yoga 9i that is specifically designed for using two screens. It's slimmer, lighter, and more elegant than bringing a separate monitor to dual screen when away from home. The main trade off is not having a dedicated keyboard. You can use a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse but it does add to the weight, which kind of defeats the purpose of such having an all-in-one dual screen set up.
The attached keyboard and stand are quite good. I would recommend a Bluetooth keyboard with a trackpoint (like the Lenovo Thinkpad TrackPoint Keyboard 2. Using a trackpoint is more efficient than a mouse and even a trackpad since you need to move your hand less to switch between keyboard and pointer, but it's not for everyone. A Bluetooth keyboard with built-in trackpad would be a good option if it has decent palm reduction. At least you'll have one less thing to bring with you.
There are some software issues and the battery life isn't stellar. With a dozen tabs in Chrome, I can only get about 3 hours. Putting the magnetic keyboard can sometimes hide a window on the bottom screen and it's inaccessible with the keyboard in place (the laptop still has it hidden in the bottom screen). It may be fixed via software patch though and isn't a big deal (you can remove and then place the keyboard back and it usually fixes the issue or make sure all windows are minimized before attaching the magnetic keyboard).
If you travel and work at different places, then this is the laptop for you. Make sure you bring the power adaptor and whatever keyboard/mouse combination though. Or, just pickup a second portable monitor for about 1/8 of the price and use your current laptop. At least you have a choice now, and it isn't a bad one if you choose this.

This form factor isn't for everyone. It's great if you need a mobile computer with a large amount of screen space. I find it most useful when in "origami" mode with an external mouse and keyboard. "Stacked" keyboard configuration is pretty good. It's almost useless as a clamshell--the virtual keyboard is hard to type more than 20 WPM.
I do a lot of document work, and I rarely need to "whip out" a notebook and type a single email, so the extra setup isn't a big deal for me. The larger screen real estate make a lot of work easier. But if your work habits are different, this won't be for you.
(If Lenovo is reading this: make one with a faster graphics chip.)

Excellent product. This laptop eliminates the need for purchasing an extra screen. I wfh and find the need for more than one screen even everyday life. The virtual keyboard and mouse takes some getting used to but overall this is my favorite laptop. It has a 13 inch display for both screens but the Oled makes up for the smaller screen. I would prefer a larger display but I am not disappointed. Great processing speed. I love the packaging and all of the peripherals were included so there was no need to purchase a mouse, keyboard, and stylus. Excellent purchase! Will definitely by in the future

I thought I would like this computer more, but I am finding it to be a bit slower than it should be for a new product made in 2024. Is it beautiful? Yes absolutely, but I think it needs to be a bit faster. I like the dual screens but using the lower screen as a keyboard is not great. There's no position that you can really comfortably type in so using the Bluetooth keyboard is a must. The pen is okay. Just okay. I may get a better one soon. If I didn't actually need a new machine and if it wasn't such a hassle to return things I would most likely get something else.

A great multitasking machine, especially for someone who needs an extra screen on the go. The battery life is good until you utilize the second screen. The speakers are ok, don't sound great compared to others. I returned this product because I personally did not like forgetting the keyboard and having to use the on screen keyboard and my use for a second screen was minimal, so I went back to a traditional laptop

Multitasking made easy

I love it. I'm a computer science student so i got it to multitask and watch lectures while i code. I love being able to switch the screens vertical for coding or reading. I wish the keyboard it comes with had a TouchPad instead of having to use a mouse but the mouse it comes with is fine. If you multitask often and use 2 screens then you'll love it, if you don't see a use for 2 screens then you might want to get a traditional laptop with similar specs and save some money.

Out-of-the-box the Lenovo book 9i is a unique experience, allowing for fast and flexible connectivity with all the bells and whistles to spare. The high contrast HDR displays provide a vibrant experience with a Picture quality close to that 4K. The only thing that I could tell that needs to be improved Would be the lack of expandable storage and a dedicated graphics card. But for every day use, this is one of the best experiences to date. The learning curve is not that bad, they provide you with software teaching you how to use it out of the box. for a day-to-day use this is a great first generation product, they nailed almost every aspect of the user experience. Software updates continue to come, you'll get more out of it. If you upgrade to Windows Pro software, it comes with Windows home addition, but can run some modern games. Was able to run Diablo 4 at decent frame rates when paired with Microsoft office, and or Adobe suites it was a great experience.

Awesome ergonomics. intuitive design. easy to use, Windows are much more funtional if in landscape orientation. I would only recommend portrait/book orientation for media/design work or use. keyboard 2.0 should have some sort of kickstand built in for standalone (off magnetic clip) use. lower screen however does not have function to access lower date time. otherwise it has been fantastic so far. Hopefully a protective case/sleeve to house all components will be designed soon..

I couldnt pass up this form factor offering. I am typically an early adopter and rarely does it pay off but here it does. I have used each type of display setup options; from tent presentation mode, tablet, cockpit, book-style, and of course laptop. Ive even gotten used to the virtual keyboard to where its manageable but accuracy is still about 90% (I definitely prefer provided keyboard instead). This truly provides you 2 monitors on the go without the clutter.

Simply spectacular! I discovered this laptop last year at a Best Buy store and flirted with it for a year. Now I've decided to trade in my Macbook Pro and I don't regret it.
In fact, I haven't tested its graphics capabilities in depth yet, but the productivity with two screens is excellent. The quality of the screens is incredible. The ability to quickly configure the screen split helps a lot with organizing work. The touch screen, mouse, keyboard and pen also help a lot with the versatility of use. The quality of the camera is incredible!
I studied the functions of this product in depth and I'm very happy with the purchase. Lenovo has extended warranty programs, which can be a good idea for the longevity of the equipment.

Just an excellent machine. Hard to call this a laptop because it is in a class all its own. The screens are fantastic from a color/clarity perspective, and the build quality is exceptional.
As a Ph.D. student, the Yoga Book 9i answers my workflow prayers. I can research and annotate on one screen while concurrently taking notes and writing outlines on the other. My favorite layout is one screen over the other in landscape mode, but now, I'm writing this review while working in traditional clamshell mode while rocking the Bluetooth keyboard/trackpad layout. With this machine...you have so many options.
