- Lenovo Legion Go Fold is a new portable concept from MWC
- It can unfold to a screen the size of an iPad.
- You can use it as a handheld or a laptop.
I love the Asus ROG Xbox Ally
Unveiled at MWC, the Lenovo Legion Go Fold Concept can transform between a more standard 7.7-inch screen size and an 11.6-inch size in a 16:10 aspect ratio. Strapped between the controllers in laptop mode, this iPad-sized screen looks absurd when in portrait orientation, but can be rotated into landscape mode for a more sensible gaming experience (although it doesn’t look like it’ll be very comfortable).
Best of all, you can remove the screen completely. You could then use the screen as a laptop with a portable keyboard or continue playing using the Lenovo Joy-Con type controllers.
An expensive upgrade, probably
In addition to its flexible display, this Lenovo handheld is equipped with 32GB of RAM, an Intel Core Ultra 7 258V Lunar Lake processor, and 1TB of storage. Additionally, if an extra-large screen wasn’t enough, the controller has a built-in circular touchscreen that can be used to scroll through some UI elements or provide additional fun and utility like a clock or to play an animation.
Since this is a prototype, Lenovo hasn’t set a price (or release date) for the Legion Go Fold, but if it were to launch, don’t expect it to be cheap. A regular Lenovo Legion Go 2 would set you back $1,049 / £1,000 / AU$1,609, and after factoring in the premium that comes with foldable displays (just look at the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is about double the price of the Samsung Galaxy S26 to get an idea), it wouldn’t be absurd to see the Legion Go Fold cost close to $2,000 or more.
That doesn’t even talk about the RAM crisis. The current component shortage and subsequent price increase are causing our favorite technology to rise in price, and 32GB of RAM won’t be cheap in the current climate.
What I’m saying is that while many concepts are finally seeing the light of day, I don’t expect Lenovo’s foldable laptop PC to launch anytime soon, if at all. I’m a convert to foldables and love my gaming handhelds, so this should be a sure product for me, but I couldn’t conceive spending close to $2,000 on this; At that point, you could get a very solid gaming laptop, which seems like a much better value for money.
If you’re so desperate for a larger portable screen for your handheld, a much more affordable option would be a pair of XR smart glasses from the likes of RayNeo or Xreal.
