God helps us, there are, so much Lenovo yoga laptops There now. There is the Yoga 9iThe Yoga Pro 9i, the Yoga 9i bookAnd now this new arrival – the Slim 9i yoga. So much yoga. So much of 9i. If you cannot keep them all the rights, see either that I cannot either.

The need to know about the Slim 9i is that it is intended for the first offer in this rangeincluding a hip design, COPILOT + PC featuresAnd a feature that hides the webcam behind the LCD screen using what is called camera technology under the device (CUD). (This is not the first time that we have seen this – Zte had a phone Several years ago with an equally hidden selfie camera.)

Before digging more deeply in this camera tip, let’s talk about the rest of the package. Although it is mainly made of aluminum, the 14 -inch laptop cover is made from highly reflective shimmering glass in a tide -tidal tank shade. It’s catchy but maybe too flashy for some, that’s probably why glass covers were exhausted a few years ago.

Curvy at each corner, the only bright edges that you will find on the device are the place where this glass cover touches its end. And although this laptop does not have a notch for its webcam, there is a bulge on the back of the cover where this webcam resides. As such, it is not so much “under the screen” as “behind the display”, an important distinction which creates a clearly bulbous conception of design that you will probably like or hate. (A confidentiality shutter switch is available on the side of the laptop.)

Lenovo has always been known for his entry experience, and the Slim 9i 14 offers one of the best I have seen, with a spacious edge keyboard arrangement and keys with excellent responsiveness, all at the top of ‘A surprisingly small trackpad. I greatly prefer this smaller trackpad design, but more used users with huge skating rinks for the finger skating chest can find it binding. Five “fast keys” on the right side of the keyboard offer easy access to different power and audio modes, a fingerprint reader and other extras.
