First

This is the best review of this laptop so far and so many useful tidbits like screen brightness and quicknote from lockscreen feature. One of my gripes was that the pen could only be stored in the case penholder. Now knowing that there is a more convenient magnetic area on the laptop itself to hold the pen makes it pretty much certain that I'm gonna get this laptop. So happy to be a student in this day and age! I'm just sad that I will no longer be a student and need dual screen laptops a few years down the road when this concept is even more polished.

In my opinion, a Zenbook/ROG duo laptop is a better solution overall till maybe foldable screens become more reliable in laptops. My zenbook pro 14 duo works flawlessly for all situations like taking notes, photoshop at a cafe, meetings with quick references on the bottom screen, and so much more... The best part is that it has a dedicated gpu and cooling like a regular laptop and the wow factor of the secondary display doesn't take away anything from the usability/portability, whereas this one seems like having to make some compromises for the wow factor. Also, if you place the keyboard on the bottom display, the rest of the area is either a screen or a trackpad and since you need a trackpad when you use a laptop on your lap, you are left with only one usable display. There definitely is a lot of room for improvement but we need more brands to push into this segment to innovate new formfactors and to definitely bring the price down

I got the original Yoga Book as well as the sequel the YB930. Both were promising but ultimately flawed - for example with the YB930, the second (eink) screen was just too slow. You couldn't use it for reading epubs, never mind pdfs. This 9i sounds much more promising but I fear it will have too many compromises for that 'One laptop'.

@@saipulivarthi Surely a generic keyboard would do just as well?

This product makes me think of switching over from my Mac to this Windows computer.

As an Apple and Windows user, Windows devices aren’t as reliable or predictable and their features don’t work as well as in Apple world.

If only they plugged an i9 into it and something a little better than a dumbass intel graphics. I am not buying a laptop for 2 years, im buying one for 6 years. This thing is a pain in the ass 3-4 years from now. Screens getting looser, pc getting slower since it has to separately process 2 screens. 16Gb ram. And man, that intel graphics just cant do enough vram 3 years down the line. This is yet another idea that works awesome the first 6 months and then its a shit show

In fact, I am currently typing this on my Yoga Book 9i ...

@@Captain_Cinnamonit’s awesome so far. I’ll let you know!

same!

Ya, it has its upsides! Its a cool idea

You would still need to carry the keyboard and the case separately, which wouldn't be convenient for you. (Unless you plan to use an on screen keyboard) Even my workflow needs this. It would have been a no brainer if it had dedicated graphics.

It'd be better if it opened sideways

@@NCXitlali Indeed it has the same working and I wonder how good the hinges will stay if you always put it on the double screen holder. I guess that gives quite a bit of pressure on the hinges, as also my Lenovo Yoga 520 henges get looser after a while.

The Asus duo laptops fill a middle ground go this too

With the ports, you might be able to use an external GPU. :)

​@@shadowsmirk mac user don't like this fact 😂

Thunderbolt supports USB-C - same plugs, USB built into Thunderbolt spec.

haha glad I could help! Thanks for watching J B = )

Great review Matthew! Love your videos! Cannot wait to get mine. Should receive mine by 05/23/23.

@@piambr where may I order one please?

@katsuki116 I ordered mine on Lenovo website, but they are sold out right now. They will be available to order on May 19th again and will be available on June 6th.

What was the price?

@@chrisjoel247 $2100.00

Thank you !

How? Still shows "coming soon" for me on both the American and Canada sites

@@Heliosvector June 2023.

Thank you!

@@MatthewMoniz most welcome

Right? I need at least one monitor per asset.

Totally agree, in 2023 minimum required memory size for a developer's laptop is 32GB.

The whole bundle should come in at less than 4 pounds. The laptop itself will be right around 3 pounds.

Yep it's expensive. If you haggle you can get about 10% off. Mine is coming tomorrow and I got the i5 with 2 year onsite warranty and a bag for 3600 AUD. I reckon you could do better if you try. Exchange rate and inflation is a bitch...

@@MrReedmonkey yeah, it's also hard finding anything about this laptop, I thought it was coming out late June but your comment indicates its already out which doesn't make sense to me as if I search for this laptop online all I can find is the Lenovo listing and a bunch of articles from January talking about it it's reveal in CES.

Battery lasts about a month its a long time and you can charge it with any USB Type-C cable

@@MatthewMoniz thank you, it would've been awesome if it charged though the laptop to make it more intuitive but the battery life makes it okay.

Is keyboard has a light on key

haha i don't mess around!

If this version doesn't have headphone jack, don't expect the next one to have. Just trying to save you some time of waiting.

@@michailgeroulis8890 You are most likely right but there's still a shred of a chance maybe if they make a larger screen version.

That would be cool!

I have one and use the surface pen without any issues.

What lapdock do you use?

@@PSYCHOV3N0M I got it from Amazon. It's some random 14" with a battery and touchscreen. It works fine but the build quality could be so much better. Especially the trackpad.

😂

That doesn't matter. These aren't foldable displays. These are regular hard glass displays.
