The detachable controller can be further separated into two joysticks that are perfect for head-to-head combat on the next evolution of the Street Fighter series and can instantly transform the laptop into a battle station. This feature also provides gamers with the flexibility to switch seamlessly between keyboard and controller gaming, and to adapt to different playing styles and game genres.

The new gaming laptop concept creates an electrifying atmosphere that fuels gamers' passion. The device is wrapped with customizable 360-degree dynamic RGB lighting on the keyboard, screen bezels, and wide trackpad area to add to its visual appeal.
