Lenovo's Latest Yoga And IdeaPad Laptops Bring Intel-Powered AI Muscle To The Mainstream
At the top, the headlining Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i (16-inch) and 9i 2-in-1 (14-inch) will showcase the Yoga Creator Zone, which allows users to "transforms text-based descriptions or even sketches into stunning visuals without complex prompts, codes, or setups. Users simply type whatever they want to see, and the system instantly creates a visual representation." Another AI feature is called Lenovo X Power that utilizes machine learning to enhance creative tasks like 3D rendering and film color correction.
Regardless, both Pro 9s boast top specs that include the latest Intel Core Ultra processors with onboard NPUs (providing the grunt for next-gen AI experiences), stylus support as standard, and MIL-STD810-H durability rating.
The Pro 9i packs an RTX 4070 GPU, a 16-inch mini-LED 3.2K display, and six speakers, whereas the Pro 9i 2-in-1 convertible comes with a 14-inch OLED panel (up to 4K), 360-degree rotating soundbar with four Bowers & Wilkins speakers, etc. If you don't minds slightly less performance for a little more wow factor, Lenovo also has the Yoga Book 9i that is the world's first full-size dual screen (2x 13-inch) OLED laptop.
