Besides an extensive lineup of traditional notebooks, Lenovo also flexes its chops with the flexible Yoga lineup. For years, the company has presented its own expansive lineup of hybrid devices. For CES 2023, Lenovo has revealed more devices in the lineup including the Yoga Book 9i, the Yoga AIO 9i, the Tab Extreme, and the Smart Paper.

Yoga Book 9i

Heading the wolfpack, the Yoga Book 9i sparkles in all its glory as the first full-size dual-screen OLED laptop. In essence, the notebook bolts two 13.3-inch tablets together with a flexible hinge. Both screens put out images in 2.8K resolution and 100 percent DCI-P3 color accuracy. The hinge revolves for the full 360 degrees, enabling usability in laptop, tablet, or tent modes.

Inside, the notebook comes with the 13^th-generation Intel Core i7-U15, Iris X GPU, 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and up to 1TB of internal storage. It will have Bowers & Wilkins speakers and Dolby Atmos support. It will also sport 80WHr of battery life.

The Yoga Book 9i will start at US$ 2,099.99 and will come out in June.

Yoga AIO 9i

Outside of the notebook arena, the Yoga lineup will also have an update for the AIO desktop space. The Yoga AIO 9i packs in an impressive suite of specs inside a flexible frame. Using the flexible hinge, the device can rotate to the desired angle.

The AIO desktop offers a lot for desktop users, too. Inside its 31.5-inch UHD screen, it carries up to the 13^th-generation Intel Core i9-13900H. It will also come with a “next-gen NVIDIA GeForce GPU,” up to 32GB of RAM, and up to 1TB of internal storage. It will also have a built-in 5-megapixel IR camera.

The Yoga AIO 9i will start shipping in the third quarter for US$ 1,799.99 as a starting price.

As always, the Yoga lineup will come with a more traditional tablet device. The Lenovo Tab Extreme showcases a 14.5-inch OLED screen with 3000 x 1876 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.

Inside, the tablet touts a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of internal storage. It will also come with two 13-megapixel cameras — one in front and one in the back. The device will be powered by a 12300mAh battery compatible with 68W charging. Further, the dual-mode stand allows for several modes of use, including different orientations.

The Lenovo Tab Extreme will start at US$ 1,199.99 and will ship later this year.

Lenovo Smart Paper

A more unconventional entry, the Lenovo Smart Paper is an e-Ink tablet perfect for notetaking. Featuring a large 10.3-inch, anti-glare e-Ink display, users can take notes with the Lenovo Smart Paper Pen, a stylus with only 23-millisecond latency.

Inside, the device comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. It can reportedly take over 50,000 pages of notes inside its storage. Finally, it will also have 3550mAh of battery.

At CES 2023, HP has revealed its newest gaming devices: the OMEN 17 laptop and the OMEN 40L and OMEN 25L desktops.

Both these gaming powerhouses are powered by up to 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13900K series processors. They also have NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics for 4K visuals.

HP has also introduced cloud gaming through the OMEN Gaming Hub. It offers gamers access to over 1,450 titles.

HP E-series G5 monitors: More immersive experience

Meanwhile, the visual experience is about to be taken to new heights further, with HP’s new E-series G5 monitors which range from the 21.5 to 44.5-inch sizes and are all capable of displaying 4K seamlessly.

The HP E45c G5, in particular, is the world’s first QHD dual curved monitor which showcases a super ultrawide Virtual Dual Display feature.

Essentially, there is just one extra-long monitor instead of two monitors which need to be combined side-by-side to create the ultimate gaming setup.

The M24h and M27h FHD monitors also provide upgraded experiences while coming with improved ergonomics to tailor fit users’ postures and viewing angles.

Poly Voyager Free 60 series

When it comes to accessories, headlining the list is the Poly Voyager Free 60 series wireless earbuds.

All powered by the latest gen processors in the market, here are some of the distinct new features:

Multi-Camera Experience: The laptops support dual video streams and camera switching. With it, users can easily show both themselves and an object or keyboard at the same time, picture-in-picture or side-by-side.
Auto Camera Select: Since there are two cameras on each device, this feature uses intelligent face tracking to recognize which camera a user is facing for uninterrupted virtual eye contact.
HP Be Right Back: This will enable users to change their video feed to a still feature when taking a break, without having to steal the attention from meetings
Intelligent Hibernate, Smart Sense: As users begin to work on their PCs regularly, these study their patterns to optimize performance and even predict what’s next.
