Lenovo's Legion Go Fold: A Gaming Tablet That Folds?
2 Mar
Summary
- The Legion Go Fold is an 11.6-inch Windows tablet prototype with a folding display.
- Detachable controllers can attach in landscape or portrait, offering dual-mode use.
- The prototype's design is considered rickety, with wobbly controller connections.
Lenovo has revealed a folding tablet prototype, the Legion Go Fold, expanding on its Legion Go gaming handheld family. This 11.6-inch Windows device features a unique folding display that can be oriented horizontally or vertically, with detachable controllers that can be mounted on the sides. It also functions like a laptop with a detachable keyboard cover.
The prototype's design allows for dual-mode use: a wide horizontal screen or a vertically oriented display. When folded, the screen becomes a more manageable 7.7-inch handheld device, though the prototype's display remained lit on the back when folded, unlike Lenovo's stated intention.
Usability concerns exist, with the folded mode feeling the most natural for handheld play. The overall build quality of the prototype is described as rickety, featuring wobbly controller connections that detract from a confident gaming experience. The folio cover's kickstand also presents usability challenges.
Powered by a modest Intel Core Ultra 7 processor with integrated graphics, the Go Fold's silicon is more focused on efficiency than raw performance, raising questions about its suitability for intensive gaming sessions. Lenovo is likely using this concept for research and development, with its future market presence uncertain.
