It’s been rumoured for sometime that Lenovo was working on a cheaper Lenovo Legion Go with non-removable controllers and the first photos have leaked courtesy of Windows Central.
It seems to be called the Lenovo Legion GO S and according to Videocardz, it will use the new Ryzen Z2 platform, which is expected to be less powerful than the Z1 Extreme but fairly comparable. It will drop the removable controllers, the kickstand and it will also come in white. The larger trackpad that featured on the Legion GO has also been replaced with a smaller little one on the Go S.
It’s expected to be quite a lot cheaper than the standard Legion Go at roughly $499 USD (~$750 AUD), and we’d expect it to be announced at CES at the start of January alongside a bunch of other Windows handhelds likely using the next chipset from AMD.
It’s very clear that these notebook companies are having a lot of success with these Windows Handhelds, as we already know that MSI is set to release its larger MSI Claw 8 AI+ early next year as well, and we’ll keep you posted on all of the announcements as they come out.
In my Lenovo Legion Go review, I really liked the device saying: “The Lenovo Legion Go is a great handheld that tries to do things differently and goes a long way in succeeding. It offers a huge amount of control options and has a fantastic display, and could be unstoppable with some minor software improvements.”
