If you love the Nintendo Switch but wish it was more of a PC, Lenovo's LaVie Mini is attempting to make that wish come true.
Revealed ahead of CES 2021, the LaVie Mini is an "Ultra Portable Pocket Size Windows PC" that features an 8-inch touch-screen with an 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1180G7 CPU and Intel Iris Xe graphics. It also weighs only 1.28 lbs.
However, its big selling point are the wireless attachable controllers that connect to the LaVie Mini not unlike the Switch's Joy-Con. It even has an optional dock that allows users to connect it to any TV or monitor and enjoy content at 4K/60FPS.
The wireless controllers have the same layout as Xbox controllers, and third-party controllers are also supported. Since it is such a small device there is no trackpad, but it does have an optical touch sensor.
Unfortunately, Lenovo announced no release date or pricing for the LaVie Mini, and this appears to be a very similar announcement to the Alienware UFO that also looks like a bulkier Nintendo Switch. We haven't heard much about the Alienware UFO since its unveiling at CES 2020.
