Lenovo’s flagship gaming laptop has a 2D / 3D screen and carbon fiber lid

Lenovo is announcing a caller 10th-generation Legion 9i gaming laptop coming soon to China and scheduled for the autumn successful North America. The 18-inch behemoth is packed with top-end specs, including the enactment for a 4K-capable 2D / 3D screen, Nvidia RTX 5090 GPU, Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, up to 192GB of RAM, and 8TB of SSD storage.

How overmuch volition an over-the-top configuration similar that cost? Nobody tin say, arsenic Lenovo isn’t talking pricing astatine each yet — not adjacent the starting terms for the basal exemplary with a 4K, non-3D screen. But erstwhile the clip comes you won’t person to trust solely connected Lenovo to physique the configuration to your liking, arsenic the 4 RAM slots and 4 SSD slots are user-accessible.

The optional 2D / 3D LCD tin show 3840 x 2400 solution astatine up to 240Hz successful 2D mode oregon 1920 x 1200 successful 3D mode. The surface besides has a dual mode akin to the Razer Blade 18, allowing up to an ultra-fast 440Hz erstwhile displaying 2D contented successful 1920 x 1080. Viewing 3D contented connected the Legion 9i’s surface doesn’t necessitate glasses, arsenic it uses eye-tracking and a lenticular lens array to look 3D to the bare eye. Lenovo says the Legion 9i is designed for crippled developers, ocular artists, and 3D professionals arsenic good arsenic spendy gamers. In summation to displaying 3D contented and renders, Lenovo says its bundle supports 30 games playable successful 3D. We person reached retired to Lenovo for a database of compatible games, but did not person an reply by clip of publication.

As you’d expect from a desktop replacement-class laptop, the Legion 9i has a clump of ports, including 2 Thunderbolt 5 ports, 4 USB 3.2 Gen 2 (three Type-A and 1 Type-C), an ethernet port, HDMI 2.1, and adjacent a full-size SD paper slot.

If you spell for the 2D surface the 5-megapixel webcam has an f/2 aperture, though the 3D surface enactment comes with a faster f/1.6 lens — and some webcams diagnostic a termination power connected the broadside of the laptop for privacy.

The laptop itself has a beauteous unsocial look acknowledgment to its c fibre lid. Lenovo says each Legion 9i’s lid is made from 8 layers of c fiber, making it “lighter and stronger than aluminum.” But immoderate value savings aside, the coolest facet of this c fibre instauration is the disposable signifier connected the lid — which Lenovo says is somewhat antithetic and one-of-a-kind connected each unit.

We whitethorn not cognize however overmuch the Legion 9i costs conscionable yet, but that lid instantly makes it 1 of the astir absorbing jumbo-sized gaming laptops successful my book. At least, arsenic acold arsenic ones not adorned with dragons go.
