According to Lenovo, the Glasses-free display market is set to triple in size between now and 2032… I’m calling “suspicious” on that, but at least it’s giving me a cool concept to try!
This is the Lenovo Yoga Book Pro 3D concept, and it’s the company’s vision of a portable system primed for 3D creativity — using AI to automate the more user-intensive tasks like rendering and editing.
And after testing it for myself, while I’ve been burned by the 3D hype at the cinema before, I can see how this may be genuinely useful.
Seeing double
This isn’t your average laptop — it’s a workstation for creativity across a third dimension. You’ll find nothing but gorgeous dual PureSight Pro Tandem OLED displays, and the top one packs glasses-free 3D thanks to that camera module up top.
You throw an image from the creation app on the bottom screen with a two-finger swipe, and the internals get to work turning it into a 3D object. And you know what? It’s an impressive effect. I may be a little suspicious that 3D displays are still a thing, but the depth effect is good here as elements pop out of the screen.
And in terms of manipulating the image, you have several options. First, there are physical slider pads you can add to the bottom screen. These small plastic elements are independently set to activate certain features like a color slider, perspective changer and a light source mover.
Second, there are hand gestures. You can go all “Minority Report” on this and resize the image/rotate it with simple flicks of the wrist and multi-hand control. It’s rather cool!
But of course, to do all this 3D object manipulation, you need serious horsepower. That is where the Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU and GeForce RTX 5070 GPU come in. You can definitely hear them under pressure with the fans working overtime, but for something this system-intensive, that’s to be expected.
As the name suggests, this is a concept device. But given this is a modded version of a Yoga Pro, it’s not a stretch to imagine this being in people’s hands if this 3D trend were to pick up.
More Yoga
So Lenovo’s got you in the door with its luxury prototype — what can you actually walk out with? Well, there’s plenty of refreshes. The Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition is getting a jump to Intel Core Ultra Series 3, and a price hike too, up to $1,949.
The company also snuck in easily one of the best-feeling mechanical keyboards I’ve ever typed on. The AngryMiao Edition of the Yoga Creative Keyboard has sensationally satisfying tactile key presses, along with a giant knob at the top right for moving playheads in editing software easily. You can pick this up in May at $299.
And the final big one here is Lenovo’s big adoption of AMD Strix Halo in two flavors. There’s the creativity-focused Yoga Pro 7a with a beautiful PureSight Pro OLED panel and a touchpad with Wacom technology for stylus compatibility ($2,099 — launching in August).
And for the gamers, you’ve got the Legion 7a with the Ryzen AI+ Max 392 — moving to integrated graphics allowed the company to create an impressively lightweight system at 1.65kg ($2,299 — launching in July).
