MWC 2024:联想展示模块化折叠掌机概念,探索PC形态新边界

在近期游戏掌机市场面临价格攀升、供货不稳、设备笨重等普遍挑战之际,联想于2024世界移动通信大会(MWC)上推出了一系列颇具突破性的概念设备,其中以模块化折叠掌机Legion Go Fold最为引人注目。

这款概念设备的核心是一块11.6英寸的可折叠OLED屏幕,通过灵活的组合方式,它能变身为多种形态:横向展开即为一台传统掌机;竖向使用可模拟“双屏”体验;完全折叠后则成为一台7.7英寸的紧凑型设备。此外,借助支架和蓝牙键盘,它能化身类笔记本形态,其控制器也可独立组合使用,甚至通过专用底座实现类似鼠标的FPS操控模式。设备搭载Windows系统,并在一侧控制器上集成小型OLED副屏用于显示性能信息。

尽管目前仅为概念阶段,且未公布定价,但原型机配置了英特尔酷睿Ultra 7处理器、32GB内存和1TB存储,预计若未来上市,其价格可能高于当前主流掌机。

除折叠掌机外,联想还展示了多款探索未来形态的概念产品:

尽管这些概念产品均无明确上市计划,但它们展现了联想在设备形态创新和AI融合上的前沿思考,为同质化严重的市场带来了新的想象空间。

当前游戏掌机市场正面临一些困境。任天堂Switch 2的售价远超前代产品,Steam Deck在多数地区一机难求,而传闻中的Xbox掌机又频传系统漏洞问题。更令人困扰的是,这些设备都体型庞大。

联想近期在这个领域表现颇为亮眼,接连推出了两款备受好评的游戏掌机,但显然他们并未止步于此。在世界移动通信大会上,联想展示了全新的模块化概念设备——Legion Go Fold折叠掌机。这款设备试图通过一项巧妙的创新解决游戏掌机的诸多痛点:它同时还是一台可折叠平板。

这款设备本质上是配备11.6英寸OLED屏幕的可折叠平板,但附带两个可多方式组合的控制器模块。用户既可以横向展开完整屏幕,在两侧连接控制器进行游戏;也能竖向持握获得"双屏"体验;或是将竖向折叠的屏幕对折,获得更紧凑的7.7英寸显示区域。通过支架和蓝牙键盘配件,它还能变身为类笔记本设备。更巧妙的是,两个控制器模块可通过连接件组合成独立手柄,无需依附平板使用。笔者体验了所有组合模式,整体握持感舒适,不过早期原型机的"双屏模式"确实存在头重脚轻之感。

联想标志性的"FPS模式"也得以保留——将右侧控制器插入专用底座即可实现鼠标般精准操控。这意味着这台设备几乎能适应你能想象的所有使用形态,无需再为不同场景购置多台掌机。基于Windows系统的设计也使其比安卓设备拥有更广泛的应用兼容性。值得一提的是,其中一个控制器模块还内置微型OLED屏,可实时显示设备性能参数。

但需要提醒的是:与联想许多创新设备类似,Legion Go Fold目前仅是概念产品。若希望见证其量产,用户需要通过邮件或社交媒体发声——联想向来有将概念产品商业化的传统,此次展示或许正是投石问路之举。

由于尚处概念阶段,官方未公布具体定价。不过据悉原型机搭载了英特尔酷睿Ultra 7处理器、32GB内存和1TB存储空间。参照联想现有游戏掌机定价,预计起售价至少600美元,高配可能达1100美元。虽高于Switch 2或Steam Deck,但其多功能性或许能值回票价。

联想展示模块化AI PC概念机

Legion Go Fold虽是联想MWC展台的明星,但其他创新概念同样值得关注。

除了将于今年晚些时候上市的传统笔记本与消费级平板迭代产品外,联想还展示了ThinkBook模块化AI PC概念机,堪称对Framework模块化笔记本的回应。这款设备初看与普通笔记本无异,但其键盘区域可替换为第二块显示屏。这块副屏既支持触控操作,拆卸后的键盘也能通过无线连接继续使用。内置支架设计让副屏可化身外接显示器,亦能嵌入笔记本A面,使设备在闭合状态下实现平板功能。

如果说这些设计尚未突破Framework的框架,那么其真正的王牌在于模块化接口设计——用户可自由配置USB或以太网接口数量。这种程度的模块化目前仅有Framework实现过,联想此举颇有"跟进并加注"的意味。

企业级AI设备略显奇特

在企业级市场,联想推出了AI Workmate概念设备:将AI聊天机器人嵌入可动机械臂搭载的触摸屏中。虽然宣称能完成文档扫描、PPT制作等常规办公任务,但看着这个装置,总让人感觉是在迎接笑容可掬的机器人上司。

此外联想还展示了AI Work Companion(侧重日程管理,造型复古如闹钟)和Yoga无线网络摄像头(支持远距离4K视频传输)等概念产品,不过笔者未能亲身体验。

裸眼3D笔记本登场

压轴亮相的是Yoga Book Pro 3D裸眼3D笔记本概念机。虽然此类设备近年已在创意工作者中普及,但联想的创新在于配备磁性定位器——将其置于屏幕特定位置,即可在编辑软件中快速调用相应工具。

需要再次强调,这些概念产品未必都会量产。但在各大厂商固守成熟设计的当下,它们无疑为行业注入了急需的奇思妙想。唯愿内存市场的波动不会让这些创意在实验室滞留过久。

Gaming handhelds are in a bit of a rough spot right now. The Nintendo Switch 2 costs significantly more than its predecessor, the Steam Deck is out of stock in most regions, and the Xbox handheld is prone to bugs. Plus, they're all huge.
Lenovo has been one of the better companies in this space of late, releasing two of my favorite gaming handhelds running, but the company apparently isn't done with handhelds yet. At Mobile World Congress, Lenovo showed off its newest concept, the modular Legion Go Fold handheld, a device that tries to solve pretty much every problem in gaming handhelds through one neat trick: It's also a foldable tablet.
The device is essentially a tablet with an 11.6-inch OLED screen that can fold in half, but it comes with two controller halves that can attach to it in a number of ways. While you can use the full screen horizontally if you like, with one controller half on either side, you can also orient the tablet vertically for a "dual-screen" experience. Or, fold that vertical orientation over itself for a more compact 7.7-inch screen. There's also a stand and Bluetooth keyboard you can use to turn the tablet into a pseudo laptop, and you can even connect the controller halves to a connector piece to turn it into a standalone controller that doesn't need to be attached to the tablet. I tried all of these configurations, and they mostly felt comfortable, although I'll admit the "dual-screen" mode did feel a little top heavy on the early prototype I tested.
Lenovo's "FPS Mode" even makes a return, so you can take the right-hand controller piece and slot it into a special dock to use it like a mouse. Essentially, this thing can play in pretty much any orientation or form factor you can think of, meaning you won't need to buy multiple handhelds for different use cases anymore. The tablet is Windows-based, too, promising more app compatibility than Android. And one of the controller halves even has its own tiny OLED screen, for keeping an eye on important performance stats.
The catch? Like a lot of Lenovo's more interesting devices, the Legion Go Fold is just a concept for now. If you want to see it come to fruition, you'll have to make your voice heard with an email or social post—Lenovo has a history of making good on its concepts, so you never know if the company is just testing the waters to gauge interest.
Unfortunately, because it's a concept, there's no word on what the Legion Go Fold might cost, although I do know the prototype I saw was decked out with an Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage. Based on Lenovo's other gaming handhelds, I'd have to guess this would start for at least $600, and could go as high as $1,100, which is obviously pricier than the Switch 2 or Steam Deck, but might be worth it for all this device can do.
Lenovo also showed off a Framework competitor
The Legion Go Fold is the clear standout among Lenovo's MWC lineup, but there are a few other noteworthy devices worth calling out.
Alongside iterations on existing laptops and consumer tablets that will be making their way to market later this year, Lenovo also showed off the ThinkBook Modular AI PC concept, which reads like the company's approach to the Framework Laptop. This device seems like a normal laptop at first, but you can swap out the keyboard for a second display if you'd like. You can then use that display for touch input, or continue to use the keyboard you just removed wirelessly. There's also an integrated kickstand, so you can prop up the second display to become an external monitor instead, and slot the second display into the laptop lid to use the device like a tablet while it's closed.
So far, none of that is especially Framework-y, but the kicker is that this concept's ports are modular, so you can mix and match how many USB or ethernet connections you have. That's something we haven't really seen from any company other than Framework, so it looked like Lenovo decided to see that laptop's bet and then raise it.
The Lenovo Workmate is an odd AI device
In the enterprise space, there's the Lenovo AI Workmate, a concept that basically attaches an AI chatbot to an animated touchscreen and puts it on an articulating robot arm. It's supposed to be able to do regular computer things, like scan documents or even create PowerPoints, but looking at the thing, I think the idea is to make you greet your new robot overlords with a smile.
Also, while I didn't get to see them, Lenovo also showed off concepts for the AI Work Companion, which focuses more on scheduling and look like a retro alarm clock, and the Yoga Wireless Webcam, which can stream 4K video to your computer from a distance.
Finally, the company showed off a glasses-free 3D laptop concept, called the Yoga Book Pro 3D. Devices like these have become common among creatives in the past few years, but what sets this one apart is that it comes with magnetic pucks you can place on it to summon certain tools in your editing programs.
Again, these concepts aren't guaranteed to come to market, but they certainly bring some much-needed oddball energy to the table at a time when other big companies are sticking with tried-and-true designs. Here's hoping the RAM crisis doesn't keep them in the lab longer than necessary.
