Lenovo brings several new laptops to CES 2023, but one of its more notable releases this year is the new Yoga Book 9i. It features two 13.3-inch OLED displays side-by-side with a 2.8K OLED PureSight display, 100% DCI-P3 colour accuracy, Dolby Vision HDR and a 16:10 aspect ratio. 

This form factor offers different ways you can use the Yoga Book 9i. You can have a super tall laptop with screens extending from the top to the bottom, a double-wide tablet, or a two-page e-reader. Lenovo includes a folio stand attachment and stylus that can turn this device into a monitor with its keyboard detached. While the bottom screen can display a digital keyboard and trackpad, you can place the physical keyboard on top of the bottom screen. You can tell the top screen from the bottom as there's a bit of a lip on one side housing the full HD webcam with a privacy shutter.

Lenovo is taking on the Kindle Scribe with its own e-ink tablet, the Smart Paper. This slate features a 10.3-inch display and supports a pen you don't need to charge. The Smart Paper can detect when you're tilting the stylus and has 4,096 levels of pressure.
