SurveyAt first, I thought it was a glitch. My eyes blinked at least twenty times before I realised what was happening. Somehow, I had stepped into the streets of Cyberpunk 2077. Every stone on the ground, every leaf texture, even the gadget in my in-game hand felt hyper-real and immersive. And here’s the kicker: I wasn’t wearing 3D glasses or a bulky headset.
This was my first encounter with the Lenovo Legion 9i 3D, and it instantly felt unlike anything I’d experienced before. As a gamer, I’ve always craved to not just control a character in a world, but to feel like I’m actually inside it. The Legion 9i 3D feels like the closest answer to that dream yet.

Lenovo Legion 9i 3D hands on experience
Lenovo just showcased its brand new series of Legion Gen 10 laptops and at the event held in Taj Palace New Delhi, there was something special awaiting us all. We got a glimpse of the Legion 9i 3D which was announced at Lenovo’s Tech World Shanghai 2025 held in May this year.
So far, I have only had the chance to take a deep dive in my favourite virtual worlds thanks to my PS VR 2. However, there is only one problem – the lack of games that support the PS VR 2. Now imagine a laptop that not only lets you play your favourite games but actually gives a 3D view. Without any glasses or headset. That’s the sweet spot that Lenovo has stuck with this device.
I played Cyberpunk 2077 for about 15 minutes on the laptop and it seemed super intriguing. I just roamed around the world for a bit and noticed a stable FPS of 60, even touching 116 at times. The laptop was slightly warm but not too hot to touch and the overall (and brief) experience of the game was super smooth. With that being said, I didn’t feel dizzy during the 15 minutes that I played the game but during longer sessions, the story might turn out to be different.
Lenovo Legion 9i 3D comes with top-tier specs
Talking in brief about the specs, the laptop comes with an 18-inch screen with a PureSight panel that serves dual 2D and glasses-free 3D modes. It supports up to 4K resolution in 2D and switches to 2K with 3D via eye-tracking and a lenticular lens.
Under the hood, the Legion 9i comes with an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, up to NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPU, and up to 192GB of RAM with support for multiple SSDs. Cooling is handled by Lenovo’s ColdFront system (a vapour and hyper-chamber design with four fans).
A private theatre for gamers
Imagine playing your favourite games in a movie theatre. Now imagine getting to do that, anytime and anywhere. The Lenovo Legion smart glasses, also showcased at the event, can make it possible. Think of them as a personal gaming theatre that fits on your face.
I played Black Myth: Wukong with the glasses, and it felt like I had been transported into my own private screening room. The glasses not only magnify the game visuals but also come with built-in speakers, which give off a surprisingly powerful effect. Even in a packed, noisy room, I could clearly hear the audio pumping through the frames. I can only imagine how much more immersive the experience would be in a dark, quiet room at home.
Whether it’s the 3D display that pulls you into virtual worlds without extra gear, or smart glasses that replicate a theatre-like environment in your bedroom, Lenovo seems determined to reshape the way gamers experience their favourite titles. With 2026 on the horizon, the Legion 9i 3D and Legion Glasses 2 could be early signs of what the next era of gaming looks like: more personal and immersive than ever before.
