With CES 2021 right around the corner, major tech companies are preparing to show off their latest and greatest creations. One of these companies is Lenovo, which is not at all unfamiliar with out-of-the-box computers. Earlier this week, Lenovo’s Japanese sub-brand, NEC unveiled what looks like a hybrid of a Switch console and a netbook-like laptop.
Now, coming to the LaVie Mini, by looking at the pictures provided by Lenovo, it looks like a compact laptop at first glance. However, with the right accessories, the device is capable of serving as a portable gaming console or full-fledged PC to aid for 4K/ 60fps gaming on your TV set or an external monitor.
But Wait…It’s Also a Console
Now, if you like the idea of a Switch-style, portable gaming console running all the games in your Steam library, then you can convert the LaVie Mini into a similar device with a pair of additional wireless controllers. These external controllers attach to the sides of the device and are similar to the Xbox Gamepad in terms of button design and layout.
