Returning the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i (Here's Why)

The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i with its double screens seemed like a productivity powerhouse. But after using it for a while, I'm sending it back! Find out what went wrong and why I'm switching to a traditional laptop.#techreview #yogabook #lenovo #dualscreen #technology #LenovoYogaBook9i #bestbuy #NotForMe #TraditionalLaptop #ProductivityReview #TechFail #GoingBack #SingleScreenLife

Switched from iPhone/MacBook to this Yoga 9i and the Motorola Razr+ and haven't regretted it for a second. 2 screens is killer. None of the things you mentioned is a deal breaker for me, but 2 screens is.
Enjoy whatever laptop you get next 😀

I am glad that you sent it back. It’s not a normal laptop so don’t ask functions for a normal laptop or a desktop.

Speaking the truth. I like it brother. Great feedback about a (still) developing product.

Maybe you can try asus zenbook duo 2024

Thanks for your insight. Very helpful.

You really didnt do your research before you bought this.

-You bought a computer without a backlit keyboard then complain it's not back lit

-you buy an ultra portable dual screen laptop then complain it's integrated graphics don't do well for video editing, then compare it to a macbook.

-your first complaint is you can't open it with one hand 😂

My country is too strict for returns policies, but it's ludicrous that you can return this at a loss for Lenovo because you didn't think your purchase through properly.

Worst part of this laptop is the battery life does not last more than a year. Guys dont buy this expensive shit.

I have this for travel. In the hotel, it's great. On a plane ...it's impressive.

[Funkotronimus]

Fan noise, heat, and performance..great insight on that, thank you!

[chessdude]

Why is everyone about opening these things with one hand 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for sharing ...just picked one it...but what your saying is true...

[outsidewithquad]

Preciate it! The first authentic interview. You can tell everybody else was getting paid for their output

[GearWave]

What camera are you recording from? I seeit following your movements....

Regarding the review, and knowing that everyones use case is different, I can understand why you are returning it. The keyboard not backlit is a major one. You would think it would be as as thick as that keyboard is.
After many reviews between this unit (including the 2024 version that has the faster processor) and the Asus Zenbook Duo 2024 that I've seen, I was leaning towards the Lenovo mainly because of Tent mode and the front facing speakers. But it just comes up short compared to the Asus model. Even the 2024 version uses the old Intel XE graphics instead of the Intel Arc one. So I decided to get the Zenbook. Hopefully I'll get over it not having tent/tablet mode. Speakers wise, won't matter since I'm always using ear pods.

As for needing a windows laptop, if you need to take your work on the road, then a dual setup is worth it, be it a laptop and a portable monitor or a dual screen laptop. I would suggest trying out the Zenbook Duo 2024 version. As mentioned, it runs circles around the Lenovo (except front facing speakers and tent mode_

btw, Very good feedback review.

Did you look into Lenovo yoga pro 9i? Maybe it will meet your requirements

[hrstolive]

New to windows and wondering is there anything out there that compares to MacBook Pro m3 max chip? Or close to it? Looking for a windows laptop that’s light weight but powerful

[lostboys]

i have 2 laptop setups one with my mac and the. other wiht my windows i use the windows as an asseory to the the mac with the dual screen is helpful

[enayetchowdhury]

I am getting more inclined to GPD Duo or Acemagic X1. Much more convenient. There is nothing wrong with lenovo Yoga or asus zenbook Duo. They are great.

[Natureboichuck]

It’s still crazy tho. I need a new MacBook or the Samsung

[_Ever_Grteful_]

This tablet has way more pros than cons. You're actual comparing it to a typucal laptop and complaining about minor shit, lol. If you like a macbook then go use a macbook. You're negative opinions about this still isn't enough for me to return. Try again though. 😂😂😂😂😂
