Lenovo’s new YogaBook 9i isn’t the primary time we’ve seen somebody attempt to cram two screens right into a laptop computer, with the second the place the keyboard often sits. But it could be essentially the most earnest but, and the most probably to truly succeed as a distinct segment type issue. Chalk it as much as the model positioning—proper on the prime of Lenovo’s most trendy client line—and a thoughtful design that permits the laptop computer to carry out to its strengths.

The most eye-catching and radical function of the YogaBook 9i is its potential to face by itself as a dual-screen setup, with each 13-inch OLED screens seen in panorama mode, the removable keyboard sitting beneath it, and an origami-style stand propping it up. The sight is a bit weird, however anybody who’s grown reliant on a dual-monitor workstation will immediately see the benefit. While this isn’t more likely to be a preferred alternative for, say, engaged on a cross-country flight, it means you may depart the portable USB monitor behind for dual-screen productiveness in your resort room.

Similar to the folding display on the ThinkPad X1 Fold, the laptop computer’s keyboard can relaxation on the underside display, with the rest of the panel dedicated to both touchpad or widget show. You may also use it in any of the conventional 2-in-1 configurations, presenting a slideshow or video on the other display, or with each screens vertical and side-by-side, both held like a e book or propped up on the included stand. There are loads of choices, all supported by an included stylus and a collection of multi-finger gestures for managing the screens and home windows.

Underneath the interesting “Tidal Teal” colorway (jogs my memory of my outdated Game Boy Color!), the laptop computer presents an Intel Core i7-U15 processor with built-in Iris X graphics, 16GB of reminiscence, and both 512GB or 1TB of SSD Gen-4 storage. Lenovo’s regular digital camera setup, with an IR sensor for Windows Hello and a shutter for privateness, are included. Lenovo claims as much as 10 hours of video playback on each screens with the brightness at 150 nits, or 14 hours in the event you use only one display, with a extra typical 7 hours of life in a normal workload. Ports are triple USB type-C, with no variation.

The YogaBook 9i (or Yoga Book 9i, Lenovo makes use of each names in its press supplies) will launch in June, beginning at a hefty $2,099. That’s dear, even for a top-of-the-line Yoga, however its double OLED screens do give it added worth.
