Lenovo announced a compact gaming tablet — Legion Y700 5th Gen. The device received flagship hardware, an advanced cooling system, and a high refresh rate display, designed for mobile gaming.
Note that this is not a new model, but a modification of the Lenovo Unveils Gaming Tablet with 165Hz Display and Wi-Fi 7 at MWC 2026, but unlike this gadget, the new product is aimed at the Chinese market.

Advanced cooling system
For stable operation under load, a large area vapor chamber cooling system is used. The bypass charging technology, which allows the device to be powered without using the battery, reducing its heating during gaming sessions, is also implemented.
