Lenovo is stepping back into the ring with a new gaming tablet, the Legion Y700, as revealed in a teaser video on Weibo. This tablet joins the Legion Tab lineup, following the recent launch of the Legion Tab (Gen 3).
The Legion Y700 boasts upgrades like a new Snapdragon processor, a sleek white finish, and a thinner, lighter design. Despite transitioning to a single camera, it retains the impressive 8.8-inch 165Hz display for an immersive gaming experience.
In a nod to modern trends, Lenovo is incorporating AI combat support into its gaming tablet, aligning with features seen in gaming phones like the Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro and Redmagic 10 Pro. This move aims to enhance the gaming experience through intelligent assistance.
While the Legion Y700 is set to debut in May, the looming question remains: who is the target audience for gaming tablets? Not as portable as gaming smartphones nor as captivating as handheld consoles, the appeal of gaming tablets is still under scrutiny, especially with the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
Despite these challenges, devices like the Nubia Redmagic Nova have shown promise with high performance at a competitive price point. With Lenovo’s entry into the gaming tablet arena, there’s hope for a compelling offering that could capture the interest of gamers and tech enthusiasts alike.
