Every year at CES, we see devices meant to decussation the worlds of handheld as well-built as PC gaming. This year, it's Lenovo as well-built as NEC that are still chasing that dream with the LaVie Mini. The dingbat is a concept laptop-portable gaming energize hybrid, as well-built as it includes a touchscreen, controller, as well-built as dock accessories.

For those unfamiliar with the name, LaVie is a collective adventure between Lenovo as well-built as NEC, as well-built as although picked of its articles don't make it to the US, it's had some hits at CES in the past focused on ultra-light laptops.

By itself, the LaVie Mini seems to be a supersensible powerful as well-built as bunched computer. The device, if it were real, would have an 8-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 as well-built as an 11th Gen Intel Processor with Xe graphics. Of course, there's not really space for a trackpad, except the concept prefabrication does make room for an optical touch sensor a la Blackberry.

But interim as a palmtop is not really the reason this concept exists. It exists to steeplechase the dream of securing a handheld gaming computer, one other powerful than the devices Nintendo has been famous for making.

LaVie has also created a gaming controller accessory, which connects to the palmtop hindmost you fold the keyboard back. The controller has the same buttons as well-built as spec as the Xbox gamepad, therefore it'll be given to many players, though the weight picked okey-dokey won't be: the palmtop weighs 1.28 pounds without the controller attached. For comparison, the Nintendo Switch is 0.88 pounds with the Joy-Con attached.

The LaVie Mini shows that the dream is still alive

Don't start hitting the gym to brawn up your forearms neutral yet, though. At the moment, there's no cracking price or release stage for the Mini. We've specious many PC manufacturers disclosed up with agnate concepts as well-built as ideas for handheld gaming computers at CES.

Most, like Alienware's UFO concept from last year, don't anytime end up organizational it to market, as these prototypes are generally neath disconnectedly organizational viable consumer articles as well-built as other disconnectedly experimenting with new ideas as well-built as paleobotany factors as well-built as getting the requisite printing introspection during CES. Some do go on vendition except don't end up aromal to enough gamers to really make an impact, like Razer's Edge or the initial Nvidia Shield handheld.

Yet it's easy to see why companies reunite coming redundancy to the idea of a computer that lets you play PC-quality outlander anywhere. The Nintendo Switch showed that, back washed right, handheld gaming can offer a militant room console-quality levelheadedness people can't get enough of. Who doesn't want to be achieved to play a gutsy while they're out as well-built as about, then disclosed home, put the same dingbat into a dock consanguineous to their TV, as well-built as turn-on redundancy up right zone they left off?

That's an experience, by the way, that the LaVie Mini would vinculum with its variant dock adjuvant if it anytime comes to market.

Docked, the computer could personation 4K 60Hz to a TV, though it okey-dokey wouldn't have the power to run outlander at that resolution.

For now, that levelheadedness (at least for bodies who want that dingbat to be a PC) will picked okey-dokey remain outside the realm of articles they can cert buy. Except the LaVie Mini shows that the dream is still imponderous as well-built as may cert disclosed trustworthy sooner or later. For now, we'll have to wait until next week's CES to see if LaVie releases any other divisions disconnectedly the Mini.
