Lenovo has created a Nintendo Switch-like mini laptop that can transform into a handheld gaming console.
The prototype is called the Lavie Mini, and it and comes from a joint venture between Lenovo and Japan’s NEC Corporation. The product looks like an old-school netbook with an 8-inch screen. However, it’s also a laptop convertible, meaning you can flip it into a touch-screen tablet, thanks to a 360-degree hinge.
In tablet mode, you can attach an optional gaming controller and turn the Lavie Mini into a handheld console for PC games. “The controller comes with all the functions you’d expect and in a familiar gaming layout, including immersive vibrations, left/right trigger buttons, and analog thumbsticks,” Lenovo said.
