Lenovo Yoga Pad Pro can be a portable Nintendo Switch display

Lenovo

Lenovo launched a new 13-inch tablet in China that can double as an external monitor. As The Verge pointed out, it's relatively easy to turn a tablet into a secondary display. But you're mostly limited to using them with specific devices (like the iPad with its built-in Sidecar feature for the Mac). The Yoga Pad Pro is unique because it comes with a Micro HDMI port in its grip, allowing you to plug any HDMI device into it. As you can see in the product image above, it even works with a Nintendo Switch.

The Lenovo Yoga Pad Pro runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor with 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and a hefty 10,200mAh battery. It also has four Dolby Atmos-compatible speakers surrounding its 2K 16:10 LCD panel. And it comes with a 180-degree kickstand that you can use to hang the tablet from a wall. It will retail for CNY 3,299 (around CAD 627), and it will arrive starting May 31.

Sony will bring 'Uncharted 4' to the PC

Sony

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End will no longer be a Sony PlayStation-exclusive game. In a report presented to its investors, Sony has shared that the title will be heading to the PC. It's part of a strategy to find new fans for the IP and reach new geographies. Days Gone arrived on Steam on May 19, so Uncharted might follow suit. Aside from using these two titles as new growth vectors, Sony believes its mobile efforts will also bring new audiences. The company plans to bring its "most popular franchises" to mobile, as seen through a job ad posted earlier this year. 

In the same report, Sony told investors it is expecting to break even on the standard edition of the PS5 this June and become profitable in the months after that.
