Trend – Computer manufacturers are unveiling Windows tablets built for gaming, featuring high-refresh displays, discrete GPU support, beefed-up cooling, and gaming-optimized controllers. These offer desktop-level performance with portable form factors and upgradability through eGPUs.
Insight – Today’s gamers crave mobility without compromise, driven by cloud streaming, promises of eSports, and the strong desire to play anywhere. Traditional windows tablets fall short on graphics horsepower, thermal management, and input responsiveness. Under pressure to diversify beyond productivity use cases, manufacturers integrate gaming-grade components and software, answering the desire for a powerful, on-the-go gaming rig that doubles as a Windows tablet.
Workshop Question – How can we leverage portable technology to elevate user experiences in our industry by combining high performance with mobility?
