Under the hood, the Yoga Slim 9i packs a 12th-Gen Intel Core processor (up to i7-1280P) and Lenovo’s in-house AI Core 2.0 chipset that is responsible for dynamically managing different aspects of the laptop. The AI chip handles the performance, cooling fans, and security of the device. It also protects the laptop from root and ransomware attacks, thanks to hardware-level encryption.
As for the memory, the laptop can pack up to 32GB of LPDDR5 5,600MHz RAM and up to 1TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD. There is also a 75Whr battery with Rapid Charge Boost technology that can deliver 2 hours of battery life with just 15 minutes of charging. Coming to the ports, there are three Thunderbolt 4 ports and a 3.5mm audio combo jack. For wireless connectivity, the device supports Wi-Fi 6e and Bluetooth 5.1 technologies.
Other than these, it comes with a quad-speaker setup from Bowers and Wilkins, a large trackpad, and a Numpad-less keyboard. It runs Windows 11 Home out of the box and comes in an Oatmeal color option.
Lenovo Yoga AIO 7: Key Specs and Features
Apart from the Yoga Slim 9i, Lenovo has refreshed its all-in-one Yoga AIO 7 desktop with a new 90-degree rotating monitor. Another new feature of the PC is that it now lets users with supported smartphones cast their device’s screen on the desktop monitor.
The new Yoga AIO 7 monitor comes with a 27-inch 4K IPS LCD screen with narrow bezels and 95% coverage for DCI-P3 color gamut. The monitor comes fitted on a feature-packed stand that, much like Apple’s $1,000 Pro Stand for the Pro Display XDR, enables users to rotate the monitor to portrait and landscape orientations. This feature should be pretty useful for those who work on vertical format videos that gained more popularity with the rise of TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
