The most interesting of Lenovo's announcements at CES this year is a trio of new Yogas and a ThinkBook with a rollable display.

The first Yoga of note is an update to the dual-screen Yoga Book we saw last year at CES. The new Yoga Book 9i 14 Gen 10 boasts a pair of 14-inch OLED displays, up from the twin 13.3-inch OLED panels on the previous model. And despite gaining in screen size, the new model is slightly lighter at 2.69 pounds (1.22 kg) -- down from 2.95 pounds. It also features a large, 88-watt-hour battery, which is necessary to power the dual displays, each of which is a 2.8K OLED.
Inside, the Yoga Book 9i 14 Gen 10 features an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor 255H, up to 32GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage. It will be available in May starting at $1,999 in the US.
The other noteworthy Yoga is the Yoga Slim 9i 14 Gen 10, which is a 14-inch clamshell laptop and not a two-in-one convertible as its Yoga moniker might imply. It looks like a fairly unassuming laptop until you look more closely and notice that its display bezels are impossibly thin -- Lenovo claims it has a 98% screen-to-body. That's approaching all-display-no-bezel territory.
Without a notch at the top for the webcam, you might think it lacks a camera or squeezed it in below the display where no one wants it. A webcam is indeed on board, and it resides in its usual spot near the top of the display -- it's just hidden behind the display. We've seen under-the-display webcams on some phones and tablets before, but the Yoga Book 9i 14 is the first laptop with such a webcam.
The display itself is a 4K, 120Hz PureSight Pro OLED panel with 100% sRGB, P3 and AdobeRGB support. The laptop features up to an Intel Core Ultra 7 258V CPU, 32GB of RAM and a 1TB solid-state drive. Lenovo estimates a runtime of 17 hours from the 75-watt-hour battery, which isn't bad for a laptop with a high-res OLED display. It's also fairly light for a 14-inch model at 2.62 pounds.
The Yoga Book 9i 14 Gen 10 is slated to ship next month starting at $1,849.
Latest Aura Edition Addition
Lenovo has expanded its Aura Edition lineup with Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition 14 Gen 10. Aura Edition models are a joint effort between Lenovo and Intel and feature "Smart" software that packages together or expands upon what's already available in Windows, along with access to customized support. There are different modes you can activate such as Attention mode that silences notifications and lets you set timers -- similar to how you can turn on Do Not Disturb in Window Focus. Collaboration mode turns on a user-defined set of Windows Studio Effects, and Smart Share lets you tap the edge of the screen with a supported phone to transfer photos.
Not surprisingly, the Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition 14 Gen 10 is based on Intel Core Ultra 200V series CPUs. Topping out the display options is a 2.8K OLED panel with a variable 30Hz to 120Hz refresh rate and 100% P3 color gamut support.
Two new Yoga Tabs
Lenovo is calling the Yoga Tab Plus its first on-device AI tablet, thanks to its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and a neural processing unit clocked at 20 trillion operations per second. The NPU can handle some local AI processing, and the Yoga Tab Plus also features cloud-based AI tools such as the Lenovo AI Note writing assistant and AI Transcript for real-time voice to text conversion and translation. The 12.7-inch display as a crisp 3K resolution and is rated for an ample 900 nits of brightness. Movies and shows should sound good with the six-speaker array of four woofers and two tweeters tuned by Harman Kardon.
The Yoga Tab Pro is another 12.7-inch, 3K tablet, but lower-end, with a MediaTek Dimensity 8300 processor that Lenovo says is 60% faster than the previous-gen model.
The Yoga Tab Plus will be available this month starting at $700, and the Idea Tab Pro will hit in April starting at $350. There's also a 10.1-inch Yoga Tab with a MediaTek Helio G85 chip that will be out in June for $159.
ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable and ThinkPad X9
On the commercial side, there are a couple of laptops worth mentioning. The first is the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable, which has gone from concept to actual product. We first glimpsed this laptop with a rollable, extendable display a couple of years ago, and now Lenovo has a finished version of it at CES.
Lenovo is mum on pricing and availability, so we'll need to wait to see how much it costs and when we can test it. But it's the first laptop with a rollable display that can extend from 14 to 16.7 inches. With a press of a button on the side, the OLED display extends upward to give you more room to multitask or see more lines of a spreadsheet.
I'm worried a rollable display might be more fun for a tech reviewer like me to test and try out than it will be useful for people in the real world, but it's definitely an interesting idea that lets you carry around a compact laptop and expand the display when you sit down to work. And this is just a first-generation product, so I'll be curious to see how Lenovo is able to refine it if a rollable laptop gains any traction.
The rest of the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable is fairly straightforward. It features Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors and up to 32GB of RAM. It manages to be impressively thin at just 0.8 inch thick when part of the display must be able to roll under the keyboard when not extended. At 3.7 pounds, it's a bit heavier than the average 14-inch laptop -- but on par with a 16-inch model.
Lenovo introduced a new premium ThinkPad series that's certainly more conventional than the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable. The new ThinkPad X9 14 gets the Aura Edition treatment and features a new chassis with a grooved bottom panel (for better cooling or just easier to grip, I don't know yet) and an "engine hub" to optimize cooling for the laptop's components while keeping the rest of the laptop trim. This hub also allows for easy access to the battery and SSD for service or repairs.
The ThinkPad X9 is available with a 14- or 15.3-inch display. Both are OLED and powered by Core Ultra Series 2 processors. Premium features include an 8-megapixel webcam and haptic touchpad. The ThinkPad X9 14 is lightweight at just 2.66 pounds, and the ThinkPad X9 15 weighs a reasonable 3.2 pounds.
The ThinkPad X9 14 Aura Edition will start at $1,399, and the ThinkPad X9 15 Aura Edition will start at $1,549. Both are slated to start shipping next month.
