The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i is the first mainstream dual-screen OLED laptop — two full 13.3-inch 2.8K touchscreens joined by a 360° soundbar hinge, with no built-in keyboard or touchpad at all. Instead it ships with a detachable Bluetooth keyboard, a Lenovo Digital Pen 3, and a folio stand, letting it run as a stacked dual-display workstation, a side-by-side book, or a conventional laptop with the keyboard resting on the lower panel. It launched at CES 2023 and has shipped in two generations: the Gen 8 (model code 13IRU8, 2023) with 13th-gen Intel Core i5/i7 U-series processors, and the Gen 9 (model code 13IMU9, 2024) with the Intel Core Ultra 7 155U and its integrated AI Boost NPU. The two are physically identical — same aluminum Tidal Teal chassis, same 299.1 × 203.9 × 15.95mm dimensions, same 2.95 lb weight, same 80Wh battery — so telling them apart requires checking the processor, not the exterior. Because so few trade-in services will quote a dual-screen machine at all, many owners assume there's no market for one; Gadget Salvation buys the Yoga Book 9i directly for cash. Select your configuration above to see an instant offer.

Which Yoga Book 9i do you have?

The two generations look the same from the outside, and Lenovo marketed both simply as "Yoga Book 9i." The reliable identifiers are the model code printed on the bottom cover and the processor name. Either one alone is enough.

✅ Yoga Book 9i Gen 8 — 13IRU8 (2023)

  • Model code on bottom label reads 13IRU8
  • Machine type begins 82YQ
  • Processor reads Intel Core i5-1335U or Core i7-1355U (13th Gen)
  • Graphics reads Intel Iris Xe Graphics
  • Memory: 16GB LPDDR5x-6400 only
  • Keyboard has no Copilot key
  • Supports laptop, tent, stand, and tablet modes

✅ Yoga Book 9i Gen 9 — 13IMU9 (2024)

  • Model code on bottom label reads 13IMU9
  • Machine type begins 83FF
  • Processor reads Intel Core Ultra 7 155U (Series 1, Meteor Lake)
  • Graphics reads Intel Graphics (Arc-based, 4-core) plus an AI Boost NPU rated up to 11 TOPS
  • Memory: 16GB or 32GB LPDDR5x-7467
  • Keyboard includes a dedicated Copilot key
  • Ports are Always On; DisplayPort 2.1 instead of 1.4
❌ Not this page — commonly confused models
  • Lenovo Yoga 9i — the conventional single-screen 14-inch convertible with a real keyboard and touchpad. Very similar name, completely different laptop. If yours has one screen, it's a Yoga 9i, not a Yoga Book 9i.
  • Lenovo Yoga Book 9i Gen 10 (2025) — the newer refresh with dual 14-inch panels and Core Ultra Series 2 processors. If your screens measure 14 inches rather than 13.3, this isn't your page.
  • Lenovo Yoga Book C930 / Yoga Book (Android) — much older dual-display concepts with an E-Ink or Halo keyboard panel, not a second OLED screen.
  • ASUS Zenbook Duo — the main dual-screen competitor. Different brand, different chassis.
  • Lenovo ThinkBook Plus — another Lenovo dual-display experiment, but a ThinkBook, not a Yoga.

Where to find the label: close the Yoga Book 9i completely and turn it over. Lenovo prints the full model name, the model code (13IRU8 or 13IMU9), and the Machine Type Model number on a small label on the bottom aluminum cover, near the regulatory markings. Prefer to check on-screen? Press the Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter — the System Model line shows the model code and the Processor line shows your exact chip. Our Lenovo model number guide and our processor type guide walk through both methods with pictures.

Core hardware configurations

Processor (CPU)

  • Gen 8: Intel Core i5-1335U — 10 cores (2P + 8E), 12 threads, up to 4.6 GHz, 12MB cache
  • Gen 8: Intel Core i7-1355U — 10 cores (2P + 8E), 12 threads, up to 5.0 GHz, 12MB cache
  • Gen 9: Intel Core Ultra 7 155U — 12 cores (2P + 8E + 2 LPE), 14 threads, up to 4.8 GHz, 12MB cache
  • All are low-power U-series chips, not H-series — this is a thin-and-light platform, not a performance workstation
  • Both generations are certified Intel Evo

Graphics & AI

  • Gen 8: Intel Iris Xe Graphics (integrated, shared memory)
  • Gen 9: Intel Graphics, 4-core Arc-based (integrated, shared memory)
  • No discrete GPU in either generation — there is no NVIDIA or AMD graphics option
  • Gen 9 only: integrated Intel AI Boost NPU, up to 11 TOPS, qualifying it as an AI PC
  • Drives up to 4 independent displays total via Thunderbolt, with 8K@60Hz support

Memory (RAM)

  • Gen 8: 16GB LPDDR5x-6400 — this is the only capacity offered
  • Gen 9: 16GB or 32GB LPDDR5x-7467
  • Memory is soldered to the systemboard on both generations. There are no SO-DIMM slots and no upgrade path whatsoever — whatever capacity your unit shipped with is permanent, so it directly sets your quote tier.
  • Dual-channel configuration

Storage

  • Single M.2 2242 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD slot
  • Factory capacities: 512GB or 1TB across both generations
  • Only one drive bay — there is no second M.2 slot and no expansion option
  • Note the 2242 short form factor, not the common 2280 length — replacement drives are less common and more expensive
  • No SD or microSD card reader on either generation

Display & audio

Dual displays

Two identical 13.3-inch 2.8K WQXGA+ (2880 × 1800) OLED touchscreens, 16:10, 400 nits, 60Hz, 100,000:1 contrast, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, with a glossy anti-fingerprint finish. Both are 10-point OGM (One Glass Metal mesh) multi-touch and support pen input. Certified for Dolby Vision, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500, and Eyesafe 2.0. Gen 8 uses DisplayPort 1.4 over its Thunderbolt ports; Gen 9 steps up to DisplayPort 2.1 and reports a 92% active area ratio. Because there are two OLED panels, screen condition matters more here than on a normal laptop — any burn-in, dead pixels, or touch-layer damage on either panel affects the quote.

Audio

Four-speaker rotating soundbar system tuned by Bowers & Wilkins, built into the 360° hinge: two 2W woofers plus two 2W user-facing tweeters, optimized with Dolby Atmos and driven by a Realtek ALC3306 codec with a smart amplifier. Dual-microphone array. The soundbar hinge is one of the device's signature features and a common point of physical wear — check that it rotates smoothly and holds position.

Ports & connectivity

The Yoga Book 9i has an unusually minimal port selection — everything runs through three USB-C connectors, including charging and all video output.

All ports
  • 3× USB-C Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 40Gbps (two on one side, one on the other; all support USB PD 3.0 charging and DisplayPort video out — DisplayPort 1.4 on Gen 8, DisplayPort 2.1 and Always On power delivery on Gen 9)
Absent features — verify before quoting
  • No USB-A ports at all
  • No HDMI port
  • No 3.5mm headphone or microphone jack — audio out is Bluetooth or USB-C only
  • No SD or microSD card reader
  • No Ethernet and no WWAN / cellular option
  • No fingerprint reader — biometric sign-in is IR facial recognition only
  • No built-in touchpad and no built-in keyboard — both are external accessories

Battery, build & more

Battery & charging

Integrated 80Wh lithium battery on both generations — unusually large for a 13-inch machine, since it powers two OLED panels. Gen 8 supports Rapid Charge (to 60% in one hour); Gen 9 upgrades to Rapid Charge Boost (about two hours of runtime from a 15-minute charge). Both ship with a 65W USB-C slim wall-mount adapter supporting PD 3.0. Rated runtime roughly 12–14.5 hours in single-screen laptop mode, dropping to about 9.5–10 hours with both screens active. Including the original 65W adapter with your trade-in helps your offer.

Camera & privacy

5.0MP camera with IR for Windows Hello facial recognition, fixed focus, paired with a physical E-shutter switch on the edge of the chassis next to the power button. Dual-microphone array. There is no fingerprint reader on either generation.

Included accessories — check what you have

This is the single biggest variable in a Yoga Book 9i quote. Units shipped with a Yoga Book 9 Bluetooth keyboard (non-backlit, no touchpad; Gen 9 adds a Copilot key), a Lenovo Digital Pen 3 with 4096 pressure levels, and a folio stand. Some SKUs also included a Bluetooth mouse (the Lenovo 600 Silent Mouse on Gen 8, renamed the Yoga Slim Mouse on Gen 9). Because the laptop has no built-in keyboard or trackpad, a missing keyboard or stand meaningfully reduces the offer — gather all the original pieces before you ship.

Modes & hinge

360° soundbar hinge supporting laptop, tent, and tablet modes on both generations, with stand mode additionally listed on Gen 8. Combined with the folio stand, the two panels can sit side by side or stacked vertically. A built-in vibration motor provides haptic feedback for the on-screen virtual keyboard.

Weight & build

Starting at 1.34 kg (2.95 lb). CNC-machined anodized and sandblasted aluminum top and bottom, finished in Tidal Teal — the only color offered on either generation.

Dimensions

299.1 × 203.9 × 15.95 mm (11.78" × 8.03" × 0.63") — identical across Gen 8 and Gen 9.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I confirm which Yoga Book 9i generation I have?
There are two easy ways, and you only need one. The label method: close the laptop, flip it over, and look at the small printed label on the bottom aluminum cover. It lists the model code — 13IRU8 is the 2023 Gen 8, 13IMU9 is the 2024 Gen 9 — along with a Machine Type Model number starting 82YQ or 83FF respectively. The on-screen method: press the Windows key + R together, type msinfo32, and press Enter. Read the Processor line: if it says Core i5-1335U or Core i7-1355U you have Gen 8; if it says Core Ultra 7 155U you have Gen 9. A quick shortcut if you're away from the machine — look at the detachable keyboard. If it has a Copilot key, it's the Gen 9. Step-by-step help is in our Lenovo model number guide.
02 My laptop is a Lenovo Yoga — how do I know it's the Yoga Book 9i and not something similar?
The simplest test: open it and count the screens. The Yoga Book 9i has two full OLED touchscreens and no physical keyboard or touchpad built into the chassis at all. If your laptop has one screen and a normal keyboard deck, you have a Lenovo Yoga 9i — a different product with a confusingly similar name, and a different page. Next, check the screen size: this page covers the 13.3-inch panels used in Gen 8 and Gen 9. The Gen 10 refresh released in 2025 uses two 14-inch panels and Core Ultra Series 2 processors, so it belongs elsewhere. Also distinct are the older Yoga Book C930 (which paired a display with an E-Ink panel rather than a second OLED), the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus dual-display models, and the ASUS Zenbook Duo, which is the closest competitor but a different brand entirely. If your machine doesn't match the specs above, submit a custom quote request and we'll price it by hand.
03 Can I still sell my Yoga Book 9i if a screen is damaged or the keyboard and pen are missing?
Yes — we buy them in every condition, though this particular model has two things worth knowing before you grade it. First, it has two OLED panels, so damage to either one counts: cracks, dead pixels, unresponsive touch areas, or visible burn-in from a static taskbar or window edge left on screen for long periods. Check both screens on a plain white background and a plain black background before selecting your condition. Second, because the laptop ships with no built-in keyboard or touchpad, the detachable Bluetooth keyboard, Digital Pen 3, folio stand, and 65W USB-C adapter are functional parts of the product rather than optional extras — a complete set with all accessories earns a noticeably stronger offer than a bare tablet. If pieces are missing, that's fine; just tell us so, and the quote you see will reflect the actual unit. Also worth checking: the 360° soundbar hinge should rotate smoothly and hold its angle without drooping.
04 Where can I trade in an unusual device like a dual-screen laptop, and what drives the value?
Many people don't realize a trade-in service will take a device this specialized. Most big-box and manufacturer trade-in programs only quote a short list of mainstream models, so Yoga Book 9i owners often assume a marketplace listing is the only route — which means fielding lowball offers, arranging insured shipping for a fragile dual-OLED machine yourself, and carrying the chargeback risk on something that retailed near $2,000. Gadget Salvation is a direct buyback service: we quote your exact configuration, send a free prepaid and insured shipping label, and pay you in cash once the device is checked in. No listing, no haggling, no buyer disputes. As for what moves the number on this specific model: generation is the largest single factor — the Gen 9 (13IMU9) with its Core Ultra 7 and NPU commands more than the Gen 8 (13IRU8). After that, in rough order: 32GB of RAM over 16GB (remember it's soldered, so it can never be added later), 1TB of storage over 512GB, the condition of both OLED panels, and whether the original keyboard, pen, folio stand, and 65W adapter are all present. For wider context, our blog covers the best dual-screen laptops and how remote workers actually use them, why OLED displays boost resale value, and how to sell a Lenovo laptop without getting lowballed. You can also see everything we buy from the brand on our Lenovo trade-in page, or read our how it works overview.
05 How do I wipe my data, and how and when do I get paid?
Start by backing up anything you want to keep — documents, photos, pen notes and sketches — to an external drive or cloud storage, then sign out of your Microsoft account and deauthorize any licensed software. If you're comfortable doing it yourself, run Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC and choose to remove everything. If you'd rather not, that's completely fine: you do not need to remove the M.2 SSD. Our technicians run certified multi-pass data sanitization on every incoming drive, documented in our data erasure protocols. Two model-specific notes: clear any BIOS supervisor, user, or hard disk password you set, since a locked system can't be tested and will delay payment; and unpair the Bluetooth keyboard, pen, and mouse from your account so the next owner can pair them cleanly. Once your device arrives and passes functional testing, payment is approved within about two business days via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or a mailed check — your choice. Shipping is free, prepaid, and insured. Given the two glass OLED panels, please follow our shipping instructions carefully and pad both sides of the closed device before boxing.
