FULL STORY
======================================================================

If you're a fan of Lenovo's dual-screen Yoga Book 9i laptop, like we are, but 
find the $2000 price tag a bit too steep, Chinese company SZBOX has an 
alternative for you. 

The SZBOX DS135D is a much more affordable copy of the Yoga Book 9i, priced 
from just $699. This Chinese laptop comes with two 13.5-inch displays, 16GB 
of LPDDR4 RAM, and a 128GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. There are also upgrade options 
for the SSD, so if you need more storage, you can choose from 256GB, 512GB, 
1TB, or 2TB. The top-tier SSD bumps the price up to just $809. 

The laptop features two USB Type-C ports, a headphone jack, and a DC power 
input jack, but where the DS135D differs from traditional laptops, as you can 
see from the photos, is its dual-screen setup. The lower screen can serve as 
a virtual keyboard, using touch or pen input, or simply be used as extra 
screen space. Inevitable compromises 

Given the price difference between the two laptops, there have inevitably 
been some compromises made in SZBoxs version. The SZBOX DS135D replaces the 
powerful Intel Raptor Lake-U processor found in the Yoga Book 9i with a 
lower-spec Intel Alder Lake- N100 quad-core processor. 

From the photos and video we've seen, it appears that the SZBOX model only 
has a 180-degree hinge, not a 360-degree one, which would allow the screens 
to be folded back-to-back. (Image credit: SZBOX) 

The starting price for Lenovo's laptop also includes a Bluetooth keyboard and 
digital pen, while the DS135D does not. You won't receive the same level of 
customer support or service as you would from Lenovo either. 

Currently, the DS135D is only available to buy through AliExpress , where 
it's being offered by various sellers. More from TechRadar Pro Game over! No
