I've found the best new laptop for designers, and it's a Lenovo Legion 9i
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Sometimes you can't use a gaming laptop for content creation and design, but in most cases, you can, and sometimes going the gaming route will get you a better deal. But other times, you find a gaming laptop that feels more like a design laptop; that's the case with Lenovo's 10th Generation Legion 9i. At the Lenovo Tech World conference in Shanghai, Lenovo announced the newest generation of Legion 9i laptops, now in an 18-inch chassis. The Legion 9i 18 Gen 10 has four slots of RAM, supporting up to 192GB, and four slots for SSD storage, supporting up to 8TB. The Legion's Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor and up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 GPU operate at a combined total of up to 280W for maximum performance. And to keep the system cool under pressure, Lenovo has packed the Legion Coldfront vapor chamber and quad fan system into the Legion 9i. The Legion 9i has solid gaming props, but the most interesting piece of the new Legion is its display. Lenovo offers two different display panel options, a 2D only, 3840 x 2400, LCD or a 2D/3D display that has a max 2400p resolution in 2D, and drops down to 1920 x 1200 when in 3D mode. We have seen some recent strides in 3D gaming courtesy of Acer's SpatialLabs displays and Samsung's recent Odyssey 3D gaming monitor. But 3D displays are often more useful for designers as many games don't fully support 3D. Lenovo has positioned the Legion 9i Gen 10 as a device for game developers, visual artists, and 3D professionals which helps explains the 2D/3D display. Like many 3D displays, the Legion 9i uses eye-tracking and a lenticular lens array to provide a 3D experience without glasses. The 2D/3D and 2D displays support dual-mode functionality to get a smooth, classic gaming experience in 4K at 240Hz while dropping down the resolution to 1920 x 1200p with a 400Hz refresh rate when you need a faster reaction time. But the display isn't the only design tool added to the Legion 9i. The Lenovo 3D Studio software supports 3D viewing for a myriad of video, image, and streaming formats in both side-by-side and top-bottom arrangements. Lenovo Studio also supports 3D in 30 games and multiple creation apps. And for added AI integration, the Legion 9i features Lenovo's AI Core chipset and AI Engine+ to dynamically adjust settings based on use, maximizing performance between gaming and rendering time. You do still get the classic gaming features like Lenovo Legion Space to sync the laptop's RGB to in-game sound and whatever is being displayed, for deeper immersion and ambiance. The Legion Space software also features Game Coach, Game Clip Master, and Game Companion to help gamers improve their skills and quickly create shareable gaming content. The top cover of each Lenovo Legion 9i (18', 10) is as unique as the design work being done on it. Made of eight layers of aviation-grade carbon fiber hand hand-applied and forged together, the resulting Forged Carbon laptop lid is lighter and stronger than aluminum, and thanks to the handcrafted manufacturing process, each top cover is one-of-a-kind. HDMI and DC in ports are located on the rear of the laptop, and a bevy of ports on both sides, including a pair of Thunderbolt 5 ports on the left side for high-speed devices, storage, and displays. If you're psyched for the new Legion, either as your new gaming rig, design device, or all-around powerhouse you will have a bit of a wait. Lenovo will be launching the Legion 9i Gen 10 in China with availability coming in North America this fall. Thanks to the volatile US foreign manufacturing tariffs and the Legion 9i's ship date being a few months out, pricing for North America is still being determined. Lenovo will announce full pricing information closer to the ship date. Are bigger gaming laptops really better? Here's how an RTX 5080 beat an RTX 5090. Nvidia's affordable RTX 5060 is coming soon, but that's not the GPU I have my eyes on Microsoft's new Surface Pro could solve our biggest issue with the previous gen

Lenovo reshuffles leadership amid AI-driven growth and DeepSeek adoption
Lenovo Group, the world's largest maker of personal computers, has reshuffled its board and named a new chief financial officer (CFO) after three quarters of strong revenue growth, as the Chinese technology giant doubles down on artificial intelligence (AI) and moves to adopt DeepSeek's models. Lenovo promoted John Thornton, who was serving as independent non-executive director, to lead independent director, taking over for William Grabe, who stepped down on Friday after 19 years on the board, the company said in a statement. Thornton, a former Goldman Sachs president and now a director of global leadership at Tsinghua University in Beijing, is also the lead director at US companies Ford Motor and SparkCognition. Do you have questions about the biggest topics and trends from around the world? Get the answers with SCMP Knowledge, our new platform of curated content with explainers, FAQs, analyses and infographics brought to you by our award-winning team. Lenovo also appointed independent non-executive director Gordon Orr as the chairman of the compensation committee, and said that Tudor Brown exited the board after serving as independent non-executive director for 12 years. Wong Waiming, Lenovo's current CFO and Laura Quatela, chief legal and corporate responsibility officer, will both retire on March 31 this year and join the company's board as non-executive directors. Current deputy CFO Winston Cheng will replace Wong as Lenovo's new CFO from April, and current general counsel for the intelligent devices group David Carroll will become the new chief legal and corporate responsibility officer, according to Lenovo. The leadership changes come as the company sees positive results from its all-out efforts in AI. Lenovo on Thursday reported a 20 per cent year-on-year increase in third quarter revenue, marking the third consecutive quarter of double-digit growth. Net profit also more than doubled from the same period last year to US$693 million, the company said. Revenue from its intelligent devices group, which includes Lenovo's PC and smartphone businesses, jumped 12 per cent year on year, driven by a broad portfolio of AI devices in China and around the world. Lenovo's infrastructure business, which offers AI servers and liquid cooling solutions, also saw a nearly 60 per cent year-on-year increase in revenue.

Photo: AP> Group chairman and CEO Yang Yuanqing said in an earnings call on Thursday that the company expects the "disruptive innovation" from the large language models provided by Chinese start-up DeepSeek to have a positive impact on all of Lenovo's businesses. Hangzhou-based DeepSeek's breakthrough open-source models V3 and R1 rocked the global tech industry this year on news of their relatively low cost and strong performance. DeepSeek has "improved AI efficiency" and "uplifted the potential" of AI models deployed locally on devices, Yang said in the earnings call. He added that Lenovo is set to launch an AI workstation capable of running the 7-billion-parameter version of DeepSeek-R1. Lenovo has incorporated DeepSeek models into all of its AI devices, providing access to the R1 reasoning model in China through its Xiaotian AI agent, the company said earlier this week.
