If you’re looking at laptop deals but there’s nothing out there that excites you, you may want to check out the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i. It’s a dual-screen laptop that’s an evolution of 2-in-1 laptops, and if you’re interested, you can get it with a $200 discount from Best Buy that slashes its price from $2,000 to $1,800. It’s still relatively expensive, but the savings will let you enjoy extra value from this versatile device that opens new opportunities for your productivity and creativity. You’re going to have to hurry with your purchase though, as its price may be back to normal as soon as tomorrow.
Why you should buy the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i dual-screen 2-in-1 laptop
The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i is the first serious attempt at a dual-screen laptop, and it doesn’t disappoint. It features a pair of 13.3-inch OLED touchscreens, which are connected by a soundbar hinge that’s equipped with a Dolby Atmos speaker system for 360-degree audio. You easily switch between tablet mode, laptop mode, tent mode, and stand mode, with the dual screens functioning as an extended display or the second screen working as a virtual keyboard and touchpad. The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i comes with a magnetic keyboard though, which you can use by placing it in front of the laptop so you have access to the two displays, or on top of the second display that leaves enough room for the virtual touchpad.

In a recent interview, Mark Zuckerberg shared his thoughts and Meta’s plans for holographic AR glasses. The end goal is a device that can completely replace your phone with a spatial interface that keeps your head up and hands-free, while still providing access to all the information you need.
Zuckerberg said he anticipates three basic models of smart glasses becoming standard gear for daily use. The first is already available — audio and camera glasses with integrated AI capabilities. The $300 Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses fall into this category. The next step up could add a small heads-up display (HUD).
