Lenovo Legion Go Handheld Gaming PC Specifications Leaked

Specifications for the rumoured handheld gaming PC by Lenovo, reportedly dubbed the Legion Go, seem to have been leaked. According to Windows Report, the Legion Go is slated to run on the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, and will be shown off to the public on September 1 during IFA.

According to a press release for the Lenovo Legion Go acquired by Windows Report, the handheld gaming PC will feature a high-resolution 2560 x 1600 display that measures in at 8.8 inches, and supports a refresh rate of up to 144Hz. Much like the Asus ROG Ally, the Lenovo Legion Go will also run on Windows 11, presumably with Lenovo’s own software on top to make navigating the OS without a mouse or keyboard possible.

Here are the complete specs:

• Display: 8.8-inch QHD+ IPS; 16:10 aspect ratio with 10-point touch and 144Hz refresh rate
• Touchpad: Multi-finger
• Processor: Up to AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme with AMD RDNA Graphics
• Memory: 16GB 7500Mhz LPDDR5X
• Storage: 256GB / 512GB / 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 2242 SSD
• Operating system: Windows 11 Home

The Lenovo Legion Go also seems to feature separate batteries for its controllers, which indicates that there might be a way to operate the Legion Go as a tablet without the controllers. The controller features a battery capacity of 900mah.

An accessory called Lenovo Legion E510 7.1 RGB Gaming In-Ear Headphones is also allegedly detailed in the aforementioned press release, as well as AR glasses in the form of Lenovo Legion Glasses. These will come with a micro OLED display, rendering at a 1080p resolution per eye, with high fidelity built-in speakers.

The report also goes on to claim that the Lenovo Go will launch in October for a price of $799. Its AR glasses, meanwhile, will allegedly be available for $499, while the earbuds will retail for $49.99.

While Lenovo is likely aiming to dethrone the Steam Deck as the handheld gaming PC of choice for many players, its use of Windows 11 might hamper these ambitions quite a bit, as the operating system lacks features that would be important for handheld gaming, like the ability to properly suspend programs.
