Lenovo has just introduced a slew of new laptops in time for the holiday season. Among the laptops launched are the Lenovo Slim 9i, the Lenovo 9i 2-in-1 convertible laptop and the Lenovo Legion Slim 7i gaming laptop.

Lenovo Yoga Slim 9i and Yoga 9i 2-in-1

The new Lenovo Yoga Slim 9i laptop comes with a genuine leather cover which has been bonded with an aerospace-grade, aluminium chassis to enhance the laptop’s durability. Lenovo revealed that each leather cover of the Yoga 9i is unique as it all hand made. It requires a special 20 step bonding process that allows the leather to retain its original appearance with the natural imperfections. The Yoga logo is heat stamped on the leather covers and applied with reflective gloss for that extra bit of pizazz. This leather cover is also an option for the Yoga 9i convertible.

Pokdepinion: The new Legion laptop looks like a pretty decent gaming laptop. It’s thin and light and packs a punch. I can see it being popular with the more casual gaming crowd.
