Lenovo 9i Gen 10 (2025) comes with 18-inch display that switch between 2D and 3D viewing

May 9, 2025

Lenovo has announced its new 10th-generation Legion 9i gaming laptop, which comes with a massive 18-inch display and includes almost every high-end feature a gamer or creator could want today. One standout feature is its switchable screen. Yes, you can flip between 2D and 3D modes, and it also runs on Intel’s powerful Core Ultra 9 295HX CPU. In this article, we will discuss everything we know about the Lenovo Legion 9i, including its specifications and expected price in Nepal.

Lenovo Legion 9i (2025) Overview

Best display so far?

The Legion 9i brings a large 18-inch display that can switch between 2D and 3D viewing. In 2D mode, you can get crisp 4K resolution (3840 x 2400) with a refresh rate up to 240Hz. There’s also a 1920 x 1080 mode that jumps the refresh rate up to an impressive 440Hz. In 3D mode, you don’t need any glasses because it uses eye-tracking and a lenticular lens to create a 3D effect that you can see directly.

Lenovo says this design is perfect for developers, 3D artists, and gamers who want a more lifelike experience. Their software already supports around 30 games in 3D, though they haven’t shared the full list just yet.

Serious performance

Inside, the Legion 9i packs serious power. You can pick a model with Intel’s top-tier Core Ultra 9 275HX processor and the ultra-powerful Nvidia RTX 5090 GPU. That’s a combo that should fly through any task, especially gaming and 3D design. If you need a lot of space and memory, this laptop goes up to 192GB of RAM (which is wild for a laptop) and 8TB SSD storage.

Also, Lenovo made it flexible: you get four RAM slots and four SSD slots, all user-accessible, so upgrading later is super easy. The base version includes a standard 4K screen without 3D, but Lenovo clearly wants users to have choices with this upgrade-ready design.

Connectivity and Rest

In terms of connectivity, you will get two Thunderbolt 5 ports, four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports (three Type-A, one Type-C), HDMI 2.1, a full-size SD card slot, an Ethernet port, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4. The 2D model comes with a 5MP f/2 webcam, while the 3D version includes a faster f/1.6 lens.

Both cameras include a privacy switch for security. The laptop’s lid uses eight layers of carbon fiber, which Lenovo says is both stronger and lighter than aluminum. What’s really interesting is that every laptop has a slightly different carbon fiber pattern, so no two look exactly alike.

Lenovo Legion 9i (2025) Price in Nepal

The new Legion 9i will first go on sale in China and is planned to reach North America by fall. Although Lenovo hasn’t revealed the exact price yet, based on its specs we can expect a premium price tag of over USD 5,000. Looking at the cost, I bet the laptop will not make its way here. Let’s wait for the official announcement from the company.
