Lenovo’s new Yoga laptops are a flex

While the Yoga laptops that Lenovo brought to CES 2025 don’t look all that different to the ones it brought to CES 2024, appearances can be deceiving.

To start with, there’s the updated Yoga Slim 9i. This incarnation of Lenovo’s leanest premium PC features a 14-inch PureSight Pro OLED display with 4K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate and an impressive screen-to-body ratio of 98%.

That last feat is built on the incorporation of an in-display camera module. Whenever you open an app that uses the camera, the camera cutout fades in. Whenever you aren’t using it, you get a perfectly squared off screen with no visible compromises. Of course, the natural downside here is that the in-display webcam on the Yoga Slim 9i isn’t quite as sharp it could be for a PC of its weight class. Still, if that’s a sacrifice you’re willing to make for a few more pixels then you’ll likely be happy with what’s happening here.

Under the hood, the Lenovo Yoga Slim 9i runs on Intel’s Core Ultra 7 processors, a 75Whr battery, up to 32GB of RAM and up to 1TB of SSD storage. As you’d expect though, all this doesn’t come cheap. The Lenovo Yoga Slim 9i is slated to land in Australia in April 2025 at an RRP of $3999.

It’s far from the only high-end Lenovo laptop getting an update this year though.

The dual-screen Lenovo Yoga Book 9i is also getting a pretty significant overhaul.

Although the core concept hasn’t changed all that much, a lot of the details have gotten a do-over. Where the original Yoga Book 9i features a pair of 13.3-inch OLED displays, the second-generation model boasts a pair of 14-inch PureSight ones with a faster refresh rate of 120Hz and a higher peak brightness of 500 nits.

The machine is also packing a larger 88Whr battery and comes with more (and better) accessories that are designed to help you get the most out of its multitasking capabilities. The list here includes a slip case, a mouse, a more precise stylus, a USB hub, an upgraded Yoga Keyboard.

Like the Yoga Slim 9i, the Yoga Book 9i runs on the latest Intel Core Ultra processors, up to 32GB of RAM and is available with up to 1TB of SSD storage.

There’s no word yet on how much it’ll cost when it comes to Australia but expect to learn more when we get closer to its tentative local launch window of June 2025.
