#LENOVO VANTAGE REVIEW BLUETOOTH#

The Yoga Book 9i feels more like a laptop, but that’s not just because of the design. Even for simple things like browsing the web, it’s surprisingly engrossing. But after using it for a couple of weeks, I’m in love with the design. I admit, it looks a little gimmicky and I was skeptical. The keyboard then magnetizes to a tray on the bottom to hold it in place. Folding origami-like into a magnetic pyramid, it stands taller to support the weight of both screens. The laptop also comes with a neat stand that lets it be used vertically in dual-screen laptop mode. It’s not quite the same as a normal laptop, but it’s close enough to evoke the same feeling and is entirely usable. The space underneath automatically turns into a palm rest and trackpad.

In a cool bit of design, place the keyboard about where you’d find it on a normal laptop and it is magnetically drawn into place and held there, giving it a bit of solidity.

Typing and tapping on a sheet of glass is never ideal, so it also comes with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. You can open it like a laptop and, with a quick gesture, transform the bottom screen into a keyboard deck with a customizable trackpad. You can flip one screen to the back and use it with the included stylus (or your finger) or tent it to use as a display. Its screens can be used vertically, stacked on top of each other, or side by side like a book. Its versatility is really its secret weapon, allowing it to shift seamlessly between laptop and tablet modes. It’s refreshing, though clearly designed for a particular type of user. It’s not the first dual-screen notebook and it’s certainly not the first 2-in-1 that can be flipped and folded, but by combining two 13-inch OLED screens and giving you the option of using them just about any way you would like, it becomes a jack of all trades in a way few other notebooks can.

The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i is a fresh take on a 2-in-1 laptop. Lenovo Yoga Book 9i – Design and Features
