People who love portable gaming machines probably know about those tiny computers that double as gaming handhelds. Winstron thinks differently about this space, though, as shown by their latest idea, the Dual Fusion. Since this exists just as a concept right now, we lack any information about what parts it might contain, how much it could cost, or when you might buy one. The design certainly catches your eye, though.
Winstron decided against making another shrunken laptop. Instead, they created a normal-sized computer with a special palm rest you can detach. This removable section features a screen where you'd normally find the trackpad, surrounded by game controls on both sides that hide themselves when you connect it back to the main computer. You can't use the handheld piece by itself - it simply receives video from the laptop when separated. The designers added a clever 180-degree hinge that lets you flip the display around to switch places with the touchpad on the opposite side.
The company hasn't shared any plans to actually make this device for customers yet. We'll need to wait and see whether this interesting hybrid moves beyond the drawing board into something you can actually purchase. Many concept devices never reach store shelves, but sometimes, these creative ideas influence future products we eventually see on the market.
Winstron's approach is fresh compared to other companies: It shrinks standard laptops down to handheld size. By keeping the full-sized laptop experience intact yet adding a detachable gaming controller with its screen, they've created an unusual solution for people who want both experiences without carrying two separate devices. Gaming companies keep trying new ways to make portable play more comfortable without sacrificing power or screen quality.
