A new major player is preparing to launch its portable hybrid PC console.

In February 2022, Valve launched the Steam Deck, a machine whose shape is reminiscent of the Nintendo Switch, but which otherwise has all the features of a PC, with even the possibility of installing Windows 11 on it, although the machine comes with SteamOS as standard. A few months later, ASUS followed suit with the ROG Ally, a machine with extremely similar features, but with the emphasis on image fluidity thanks to a more powerful APU and a screen capable of 120 Hz display.

Since the beginning of August, a third player has been in the news, and not just anyone: Lenovo. The Windows Report website has backed up the first rumours with a number of important pieces of information, but above all, a series of images illustrating just about every key element of the machine. We learn, for example, that Lenovo is relying on the same AMD chip as ASUS, the Z1. The only remaining question is whether this is the standard or Extreme version. Lenovo has also opted for a larger screen, with a diagonal of 8 inches, but image definition remains a mystery for the moment.

The most original aspect, however, is the design of the machine itself, which borrows heavily from Nintendo's Switch: on either side of the screen are two detachable controllers that look a little like joy-cons. They are, however, more complex than Nintendo's peripherals, with a mouse-like scroll wheel on the right, and a trackpad based on the Steam Deck principle. As you can see, Lenovo seems intent on taking the best from each of its competitors. Unfortunately, we don't yet have any information on the release date or price of this Legion Go.
