Lenovo's Yoga Slim 9i Has an Invisible Webcam and It Sucks
Briefly

The Lenovo Yoga Slim 9i stands out with its striking design and innovative camera-under-display (CUD) technology, which cleverly hides the webcam behind the screen. However, this comes at the cost of webcam quality, rendering it essentially unusable. The laptop features a sleek aluminum chassis, highlighted by a reflective glass cover in "Tidal Teal," appealing to those who appreciate aesthetics. Despite its premium positioning and advanced features like Copilot+, the Slim 9i's extreme lack of ports, weight, and high price may deter potential buyers looking for practicality.
God help us, there are so, so many Lenovo Yoga laptops out there now. The Yoga Slim 9i is intended as the premiere offering in the lineup.
Though it's crafted mostly from aluminum, the cover of the 14-inch laptop is made from highly reflective shimmering glass in a hue of "Tidal Teal." It's eye-catching but may be too flashy for some.
The feature that hides the webcam behind the LCD using camera-under-display technology is clever, but it results in unusable webcam quality.
The Slim 9i boasts a hip design and Copilot+ PC features, but it has an extreme dearth of ports and is heavy for its size.
