Lenovo Legion Go S Renders Leak: Cheaper Handheld Gaming PC Details

Lenovo’s Legion Go S Handheld Gaming PC: What You Need to Know

Lenovo has been making waves in the handheld gaming market with its Legion Go gaming PC, originally launched at $700. However, with the current market fluctuations, you can now snag one for around $484.99. Excitingly, rumors are swirling about a revamped version known as the Legion Go S, expected to start at an appealing $399.

Latest Innovations and Features

According to Windows Central, leaked renderings of the Legion Go S show several intriguing design choices. A recent firmware leak for the model designated as “Legion Go S 8ARP1” has revealed that this new device will feature AMD's Rembrandt APU, based on the latest Ryzen Z2 platform.

Performance Insights

While the Rembrandt APU is a step forward, Videocardz has highlighted that it will come equipped with Zen 3-plus cores, which may not match the power of the current generation Z1 Extreme featuring the more robust Zen 4 cores found in the regular Legion Go.

Design Enhancements

Visuals from the leaks suggest a striking white colorway for the Legion Go S with several unique design features:

• RGB lighting for a more vibrant gaming experience.
• Two USB-C ports positioned at the top, with no additional ports on the bottom.
• A circular D-Pad, shifting away from the four-way D-Pad of the original model.
• A TrackPoint style nub mouse, replacing the conventional trackpad found on the existing Legion Go.

Controller Features

Another notable feature is the non-removable grips and triggers, reminiscent of the first Asus ROG Ally. This represents a shift from the current model, which allows users to remove controller grips similar to the Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Con controllers.

Conclusion

With the anticipated launch of the Legion Go S, gamers can look forward to an affordable yet capable handheld gaming solution. Keep an eye out for official announcements from Lenovo regarding release dates and further specifications.
