TECH NEWS – Information has surfaced on the Chinese company’s website pointing to a new handheld PC model, suggesting that Lenovo may be following in Nintendo’s footsteps.

The Lenovo Legion Go is described as a more powerful device, as it uses AMD’s Ryzen Z1 APU, similar to the Asus ROG Ally. However, we haven’t heard much information from the company about the possible new model, but Lenovo has already said that they are planning new models and they will hopefully be “compact and lightweight designs”. So it could shrink in size and weight, meaning the Lenovo Legion Go Lite could be made. With the Nintendo Switch also getting a Lite model, Lenovo could be following in the footsteps of the big N.

2 New Legion Go models coming soon!?

The display of the new model could be either 7″ or 8″ (17.78/20.32 cm), while the current one is 8.8″ (22.35 cm), so it will be a smaller device. According to the description, it will also have an HDMI port and possibly a dual fan cooling system. Neither of these features are found on the current Lenovo Legion Go handheld PC. Since the description of the device has recently been updated, you should be prepared for a smaller model of the device to appear on the market. The specifications of the smaller machine are not known, but the APU will presumably remain the same.

The handheld PC market is now a bit more subdued, even with the launch of the Asus ROG Ally X. Companies are now waiting for new architectures to be launched. We’ve already seen MSI’s Lunar Lake architecture in the Claw, but machines based on AMD’s Strix Point APU are sure to come later, which could shake up the handheld market again. This will most likely be triggered by Valve, because although the OLED version of the Steam Deck is quite good, Gabe Newell’s company is probably waiting for the right hardware to upgrade their machines.

We’ll be curious to see how much the Lenovo Legion Go Lite (that’s probably what it’ll be called) will cost in the future.
