Lenovo and Intel have always been at the forefront of the revolution in the PC space — coming up with new technologies, designs, and quality-of-life improvements that are more than just novelty and actually improve how we work, have fun, and unleash our creativity with our machines.
That’s exactly what they did with the new Lenovo Yoga Book 9i. I mean, just look at it. It looks powerful and imposing, while also being sleek and stylish at the same time. Laptops are either thin and compact for portability or large and powerful for better productivity but not both.
More than its looks and dual-screen design, the new Yoga Book 9i is an Intel® Core™ Ultra-powered laptop designed on the Intel® Evo™ Platform. So today, we’ll show you how well this machine handles AI tasks to make you more efficient and, of course, how the rest of the hardware will help you stay as productive outside as much as how you are at home. Let’s begin.
Everything is possible with Intel® Core™ Ultra
The year 2024 is all about how AI laptops can dramatically help you become more efficient. But before we marvel at all its modern features, let’s first look at the brain that makes all of this possible: the Intel® Core™ Ultra 7.
Powering the Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 155U designed on the Intel® Evo™ Platform. Intel designed this chip with a new integrated AI engine to enable more than 100 AI experiences — making sure you can utilize all the new AI-powered features within your favorite software. In fact, this new chip is 65% faster in Generative AI tasks and 2.3X faster in AI video editing than its predecessor.
What’s more, this beefy mobile chip offers killer graphics experience and high-performance but low-power processing so you can work longer outside, even if you left the charger at home.
Work and collaborate more efficiently with AI accelerated softwares
Much like laptops, software developers have been investing a lot in creating AI experiences on their products. Creative programs like Adobe Photoshop, Premier Pro, Skylum, Blender, and Audacity; productivity apps like Rewind, Microsoft Teams, and WebEx utilize AI to dramatically cut your work in half, so you stay more productive, and have more time to do other things that matter more.
As users who deal with photos a lot, we were impressed with how the Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 on the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i handled Generative Fill on Adobe Photoshop. In fact, the very photo we used in the headline of this article was created on the device itself.
We simply shot the laptop on a clean table, then asked AI to add objects on the photo to make it look more interesting, cutting the work in half as we didn’t have to spend a ridiculous amount of time designing and setting up a set.
We just let our creativity run wild, describe to AI what we want to achieve, and let it execute our vision for us. Pretty nifty.
Have the productivity of a dual-screen setup anytime, anywhere
As content creators, our main workstation consists of a dual-monitor setup. It allows us to work faster and more productive by utilizing and interacting with multiple apps at the same time.
But as a content creator, we also spend a lot of time working outdoors, whether it’s in a coffee shop and other remote location. While the location is different, the work stays the same, which is why we love the dual-screen design of the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i.
This machine has a screen where the keyboard and trackpad should be. The best part is, it’s the same exact panel from the main one. It’s a fancy 13.3-inch 2.8K PureSight OLED screen that has all the bells and whistles for work and entertainment: VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500, 100% DCI-P3, Dolby Vision, and uses glass touchscreen.
What makes the Yoga Book 9i special is the accessories it’s bundled with, so you can use the laptop like a desktop machine anywhere you are.
It comes with a flexible folio case, which you can fold to act as a stand for the laptop, so you can use the dual screens in a vertical or horizontal layout. You can then attach the Bluetooth keyboard magnetically at the bottom, then pair the included wireless keyboard. Imagine having this level of screen real-estate anywhere you go.
If you want to use it like a regular laptop, you can put the keyboard on the bottom screen, and see how the interface quickly adapts. The laptop switches to a single screen mode, then converts a part of the bottom screen as the trackpad while you type away from the physical keyboard.
Sit back, relax, and play games with Intel XeSS Game Upscaling
Other than work, the power of AI on the Intel® Core™ Ultra can also be experienced in select games. The Intel XeSS feature uses AI-enhanced upscaling to improve the graphics quality of popular games like Forza Horizon 5, Death Stranding, F1 23, and more.
However, if you’re more of a laid-back, binge-watcher on your days off work, you can enjoy an award-winning TV series or movie on the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i’s display and beefy 4x stereo speaker setup powered by Bowers & Wilkins with Dolby Atmos support.
Work non-stop, even if you left the charger at home
The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i comes with an 80WHr battery. While it’s already beefy on its own, the efficiency provided by the new Intel® Core™ Ultra processors ensures that you can work long hours, even if you left your charger at home.
But by the time you do need to charge, don’t worry, as the 65W USB-C adapter comes with Rapid Charge technology so you can fully charge it in no time. Plus, the charger itself is actually very portable, almost as small as most phone chargers these days, so you can conveniently carry it in your bag every time if you want to.
You can have all these advanced AI features and constant dual-screen productivity by getting the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i. This Intel® Core™ Ultra-powered Intel® Evo™ laptop is available in the Philippines for Php129,990.
