Reviews of the Lenovo Explorer
Rated 3.7 / 5 from 7 ReviewsA Low-Cost VR On-Ramp

As an easy-to-use headset that runs on modest hardware (by VR standards), the Explorer is a solid-enough choice. And if you’re looking for a headset to share with your kids, we’re not aware of a PC-connected VR device that will fit better.

While it may not be anything flashy to look at, the Lenovo Explorer is a great introduction to the world of Windows Mixed Reality. Utilitarian, maybe, but what matters most is how it delivers the experience and on that there's little to fault. It's well made, light and comfortable and despite the thin, flimsy looking foam padding around your face, there's no evidence of light bleeding in so long as you get the fit right on your head.

Windows Mixed Reality is very young so it's hard to stamp a verdict on the platform, but Lenovo's Explorer headset is a perfectly serviceable way into it. It's light, comfortable and offers VR with controllers for the same price as the Oculus Rift, which may actually be a problem until Microsoft's platform gets more games. But with SteamVR support now rolling out, they're definitely coming.

Lenovo has produced a well-designed, easy-to-operate headset that suits just about anyone with an interest in VR. You’ll have to look past the price tag, but if you can, you’ll find an intuitive entry-level headset with plenty to enjoy.

The HTC Vive was released at $600, and the Oculus Rift can be picked up for under $500, so the fact that the Lenovo Explorer is available from $350 is to be commended, especially as it has an improved specification over first-gen gear. However, the market needs to move on even faster, and while a positive step, we expect even more to get the PC back on top. At this point, that’s going to require a revolution, rather than this subtle evolution.

The Lenovo Explorer is a great piece of hardware, partially let down by work-in-progress software.
