Well, well, things are starting to get interesting, and it seems that Lenovo is about to officially make the leap into the world of micro gaming PCs. The filtration comes from Windows Central, who have had access to the first images of the product, which show a design that will inevitably be familiar to you.
A Lenovo portable console with Windows 11
As the images show, the product would be something like uA mix between a Steam Deck, a Nintendo Switch and an ASUS ROG Ally. And it is that, the so-called Lenovo Legion Go, has controllers with trackpads like the Valve console, removable controls like Switch, and an operating system Windows 11 like the ASUS model. Is it the perfect mix?
It is still early to draw conclusions, but at first glance the images do not show a very premium finish (perhaps what we see is a simple mockup), although we do not doubt the potential that the device could offer. And it is that the exclusivity of ASUS with AMD could end soon, and make Lenovo also mount a Ryzen processor as powerful as that of the ROG Ally.
We also see interesting details such as an integrated base, six buttons on the back, and eight buttons at the height of the triggers (too many buttons?). It is said that the screen is 8 inches, so it will offer more panel than its rivals. The thickness is also striking, possibly due to the incorporation of a complex ventilation system and a large capacity battery. Taking into account its specifications, its great rival could be the imminent AYANEO Kun.
A market that has exploded
Many manufacturers have been trying to create the perfect portable PC for gaming for many years, but it has not been until now when technology has allowed us to achieve what many users had in mind. And it is that AMD processors are allowing you to install Windows and play high-demand AAA games with total ease, which has opened up a world of incredible possibilities.
The idea of ​​having a convertible console from a laptop to a desktop like what Nintendo proposed with its Switch, makes especially sense on these Windows machines, since you can convert the console into a desktop computer for work.
It was to be expected that manufacturers like Lenovo would be interested in the format, and it seems that its first proposal is especially striking, so much so that we'll see if it doesn't also attract the attention of Nintendo in terms of legal reasons.
Price and release date
The Lenovo Legion Go It should be officially presented in the coming weeks., quite possibly at IFA or Gamescom, and as you can understand, nothing is known about its price yet. Of course, we would not rule out an aggressive price considering that it is a manufacturer like Lenovo, so if they do things right, they could take a very important position in this market as interesting as that of portable consoles with Windows 11.
