Earlier this month, news emerged that Lenovo was working on its own handheld gaming PC to compete with the likes of the Steam Deck, ROG ALLY and AYANEO. Now, a new report from Windows Report has provided what it alleges to be images of that device.

Images from Windows Report's article​

The report also shares some specs details of the device, which is calling the Lenovo Legion Go; some of which can also be inferred from the images. As this article's featured image shows, the device will apparently feature detachable, Switch-like controllers, a button layout similar to Rog Ally, an 8 inches screen, a wide kickstand, a Steam Deck-like trackpad, will use Windows 11 as its OS and will likely sport AMD's Phoenix processors.

As these are unofficial images, take this news with some measure of salt but what do you think of the looks and specs of this alleged handheld gaming PC?

Are those full size sticks?

Makes it 1000x times better than the Switch if we ignore every other aspect this is better.

Joycons are horrible to use, pretty much no precision with sticks that small

Handhelds have to be good in just two categories: power and battery life. Having that will make people overlook how ugly this thing is.


Also, nobody cares for removable joysticks. The switch is successful not because of the removable joysticks, the industry misunderstood that.

Of course not.

Lol I thought it was saying "LEG ON" on the stand. The switch is a nice console but I didn't really care about the removable controllers.

It says LEGION.

I like it, I’m down for reviewing one for GBAtemp

Trackpad looks like a normal one and not a Steam like one. An actually functional kickstand built in is nice.

This was one of the strongest cringes I have had in a long, long time.

Thank you for that!

I still believe that if Nintendo wants to repeat the success of Switch it has to offer something beyond hardware power, some kind of new gimmick not so easy to "emulate".

A new system software will be enough.

Look at current Switch emulation.
It stills has plenty of issues.

Windows 11 makes sense for it as it's an OS that imitates Android/iOS.

Damn, if it wasn't Lenovo I'd be interested...

I has been that way since Nintendo began producing video games, they change A LOT of concepts from one generation to another. The game boy family is the only exception I can think of.

DS to DS Lite really only changed form... Game Boy to GBC at least added something...

I'm curious about the big fan outlet. How much noise does it make?

NES to SNES - Better graphics
N64 - More powerful than the competition, yet it still lost because they used carts
GCN - Typical gaming console with a cute cube design.

Game Boy to the DS was essentially about improving graphics and the DS just had two screens instead of one. 3DS? The 3D gimmick that most just kept it turned off.

Everybody do what Ninten-do first!

Literally nobody knows here.

Literally nobody knows here.

It's a rhetorical question.
