In terms of specs, the Lenovo Legion Go S will have a 120 Hz refresh rate screen and a resolution of 1920 x 1200. Under the hood, the Legion Go S will run off a 55 Wh battery. The internal specs will depend on whether you go with the Windows 11 version or the SteamOS version of the device. The Windows 11 version of the Legion Go S will have 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage, along with a price tag of $729.99 when it hits store shelves later this month. The SteamOS version, slated for release in May, will feature 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, and a price tag of $499.99.

There is also a second Windows 11 version with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage planned for release and priced at $599.99.

All variants of the Lenovo Legion Go S will run on one of AMD’s newer chips – the Ryzen Z2 Go. The chip, designed specially for handheld gaming devices, has four CPU cores, 12 GPU cores, and can boost up to clock speeds of 4.3 GHz. According to The Verge, Legion Go product manager Alex Zhu has stated that Lenovo is targeting a battery life of between two and two and a half hours when the Legion Go S runs heavier games.

Alongside the announcement of the Legion Go S, Valve also made an announcement of its own about SteamOS growing beyond the confines of the Steam Deck. According to Valve, the SteamOS version of the Legion Go S will feature all of the software features that the Steam Deck is known for, including pre-compiled shaders. The company has stated that it will be working with Lenovo to improve compatibility with other handhelds.

It is worth noting that, since SteamOS is based on Linux, the variant of the Legion Go S running on Valve’s operating system might face similar compatibility issues to the Steam Deck, where games with strict anti-cheat systems don’t work well. Among the major games that can’t be played on the Steam Deck, for example, is Destiny 2.

SteamOS itself will also be getting its own beta release shortly before the launch of the Legion Go S, allowing users to try the operating system out with other handhelds.

Along with having a host of new accessories for the Nintendo Switch 2 on display, Genki also had a model of the console, allowing visitors to check out the range of accessories in real time. According to Numerama, the Switch 2 seems to be physically larger than its predecessor.

Genki also stated that its accessories will hit store shelves around the same time as the Nintendo Switch 2, which the accessory maker said was due to be in April. Interestingly enough, Genki also claims to have the console in its possession.

Some of the Switch 2 accessories shown off by Genki at CES 2025 include a charging dock for JoyCon controllers, as well as a host of grips that would make the system and its controllers more ergonomic to hold in handheld mode.

The company has also released a short video on its official website that gives us a look at some of its accessories, while also allowing us to look at what might end up being the new release mechanism for the Switch 2’s JoyCons.

Genki’s claims of the console being launched in April tie in with previous rumours that have indicated that Nintendo was looking to unveil the Switch 2 before the end of the current financial year, which would clock in at the end of April.

This goes against another rumour, however, which indicates that Nintendo is looking to unveil the Nintendo Switch 2 during an event in May, with a launch for the console slated for launch. As is the case with all rumours, however, it is worth taking all of these details with a grain of salt.

Several rumours about the Nintendo Switch 2 have popped up in recent times, ranging from the fact that it will have DLSS-styled image upscaling technology, as well as other notable details, such as a picture of the new console’s dock that indicates a higher-powered charger being required. Pictures of the Switch 2’s JoyCons are also rumoured to have popped up.

Other features in the monitor include AI-based technology that will attempt to prevent objects from burning into the display alongside a graphite sheet between the layers of the display panel.

Interestingly, the AW2725Q’s design is more subdued than what the Alienware line-up is typically known for. The new monitor will look sleeker on a table, especially compared to other Alienware monitors and even desktop and laptop systems.

The Alienware AW2725Q is slated to hit stores in March 2025 and will be priced at $900.

Dubbed DLSS 4, the technology is powered by the Tensor cores present in RTX graphics cards, and along with its previous features like outputting visuals at higher resolutions, now also has Multi Frame Generation. An upgrade to Frame Generation, the new Multi Frame Generation can generate three additional frames for every single frame rendered by the system.

Nvidia claims that it can multiply a game’s frame rate by up to eight times over traditional rendering techniques by making use of Multi Frame Generation.

DLSS 4 also features upgrades to its suite of other features, including Ray Reconstruction, Super Resolution, and DLAA, all of which will now run on transformers – architecture that powers AI models like ChatGPT, Flux and Gemini. This will be the first real-time application of the technology for graphics rendering.

Along with DLSS 4, Nvidia has also announced Reflex 2, which the company claims can synchronise the work done on CPUs and GPUs to reduce in-game latency by up to 75 percent.

Following the line-up is also a series of new Ryzen Z2 processors. Headlining this line-up is the new Ryzen Z2 Extreme with eight cores, a boost clock of up to 5 GHz, and 16 graphics cores. The regular Ryzen Z2 has four cores, boosts up to 5.1 GHz, and has 12 graphics cores. Rounding out the line-up is the Ryzen Z2 Go with four cores, a boost clock of up to 4.3 GHz, and 12 graphics cores.

Along with these new chips, AMD announced new high-end laptop-centric processors: the Ryzen 9 9955HX3D, the Ryzen 9 9955HX, and the Ryzen 9 9850HX. As the names might imply, the X3D variant of the Ryzen 9 9955HX features 144 MB of cache alongside the 16 CPU cores, two graphics cores, and a boost clock of up to 5.4 GHz from its base speed of 2.5 GHz. The Ryzen 9 9850 HX features 12 CPU cores and two graphics cores and boosts up from 3 GHz to 5.2 GHz.

The new Ryzen X3D CPUs and Ryzen Z2 chips are slated for launch in Q1 2025, while the Ryzen 9000 HX chips are set for launch in the first half of 2025.

At the highest end, AMD has the Ryzen AI Max+ 395, which clocks in at a maximum boost frequency of 5.1 GHz, has 16 CPU cores, 40 GPU cores, and a neural processing unit offering up to 50 trillion operations per second (TOPS). These APUs will be available starting in Q1 2025.

Filling out the line-up are the Ryzen AI Max and Max PRO 390, with 12 CPU cores and 32 GPU cores at a max boost of 5 GHz, and the Ryzen AI Max and Max PRO 385, which features 8 CPU cores and 32 GPU cores at a max boost of 5 GHz. The only difference between the 390 and 385 is the amount of cache memory, with the 385 coming in at 40 MB while the 390 features 76 MB.

These new APUs, developed under the codename Strix Halo, run on AMD’s Zen 5 architecture for the CPUs and RDNA 3.5 architecture for the GPUs. The APUs are available in the AI Max form, as well as the AI Max Pro form, the latter of which are designed specifically for business-class workstations.

The newest iteration of the Asus ROG XG Mobile also features various I/O options, including USB ports, an SD card reader, USB-C ports, and 5 Gbps ethernet connectivity. The XG Mobile will also support multiple monitors through DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1 ports.

While Asus has revealed features of the new XG Mobile, it hasn’t yet announced raw performance numbers for the system. The system costs $2,199.99. Asus has also announced a similar system based on the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, priced at $1,199.99.

For context, these external GPUs are often targeted at users who like to have as much power as possible in their PC but can’t justify a full tower desktop PC that would take up space and lack the portability of a laptop. These eGPUs tend to be a great deal for users who would like to bolster their laptop’s hardware capabilities with more powerful graphics processing and still manage to stay portable.

The new Asus eGPUs make use of mobile versions of desktop GPUs recently unveiled by Nvidia under its new GeForce RTX 50-series lineup, which includes four new graphics cards that are slated to hit the market over the next couple of months.

Dubbed the Radeon RX 9070, RX 9070 XT, RX 9060 and RX 9060 XT, the graphics cards feature upgrades to their compute units over the previous RX 7000-series graphics cards. The chips in the cards are based on the 4nm process node and will compete directly with the GeForce RTX 4070, RTX 4070 Ti, RTX 4060, and RTX 4060 Ti.

While AMD hasn’t yet announced a release date for the new GPUs, the company and its partners will start releasing the graphics cards during Q1 2025. Unfortunately, AMD hasn’t revealed too many details about the clock speeds and number of compute units in the new graphics cards. We do, however, know that the RX 9070 and its XT counterpart will feature 16 GB of GDDR6 VRAM, while the RX 9060 and 9060 XT will feature 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM.

Along with upgrades to hardware, the new GPUs will also utilize AMD FSR 4, which will allow high-quality 4K upscaling, as well as other features like FSR Frame Generation and AMD’s Anti-Lag 2 technology. While games that support FSR 3.1 will also automatically support FSR 4, users will need a GPU running on RDNA 4 to make use of the FSR 4 features.
