Lenovo shows handheld gaming PC concept, LaVie Mini, at CES 2021
The Nintendo Switch Pro has been rumored for quite some time already, with some reports suggesting it will launch early this year. But officially there's no word from Nintendo. However, some companies are already imaging a beefier Switch-like handheld device. The latest in this trend is the LaVie Mini concept from Lenovo and its sub-brand NEC which was introduced at CES 2021. This netbook-lookalike features a foldable keyboard, an 8" touchscreen, dedicated gaming controller attachments à la Joy-Cons and would weigh 1.28 pounds without these.
If it were to get produced, the LaVie Mini would pack the following specs:
- 8-inch touchscreen
- 1900x1200 resolution
- Intel 11th-gen i7-1180G7 processors
- 16GB of LPDDR4x 4266MHz RAM
- 256GB m.2 SSD
- Two USB 3.1 and Type-C ports
- An optical touch sensor instead of a trackpad
