A little over a week ago, the first details of the Lenovo Legion Go emerged, the ambitious laptop that intends to stand up to the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally. Now, however, much of its features have been leaked. If the information turns out to be real, we are facing a beastly proposal that will steal the looks of the sector.
According WindowsReportthe Lenovo Legion Go will integrate the processor AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme. That is, the same as the ROG Ally that is currently on the market. Of course, it seems that the Asian manufacturer could offer a more modest version, with the Ryzen Z1. Let’s remember that Asus will also follow this path with its laptop in the coming months.
The AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme is an APU based on the Zen4 and RDNA 3 architectures. It boasts a CPU with 8 cores, 16 threads and a clock frequency that reaches 5.1 GHz. The GPU, for its part, has 12 cores and offers an average graphics performance of 8.6 tereflops. In the ROG Ally it has already demonstrated its excellent performance, so we expect no less in the Lenovo Legion Go.
Continuing with the internal components, a 16 GB LPDDR5X RAM and 7,500 Mhz. Storage, for its part, would be PCIe 4.0 with capacity of 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB depending on the chosen model.
The manufacturer knows very well that, to take advantage of these specifications, it is essential to incorporate a high-end panel. The Lenovo Legion Go would have a 8.8 inch screen with resolution QHD+ (2560 x 1600 pixels) and a refresh rate of 144hz. If true, in this section it would be significantly superior to its competition.
Of course, to accommodate such a huge screen, the Lenovo Legion Go is bigger than the Steam Deck and ROG Ally. Measure 299mm. long x 131mm. high x 41mm. thick. Unfortunately, at the moment there is no information about its battery; only that its detachable controls —like the Nintendo Switch— have a capacity of 900 mAh.
In terms of connectivity, it has a 3.5-millimeter Jack audio port, USB-C input and a microSD card reader to expand storage. Also, it has Bluetooth 5.2 and support for Wi-Fi 6E.
Clearly, with these promising specs you can’t expect cheap cost. The Lenovo Legion Go would be priced at 799 dollars in North America and 799 euros in the European market. Be careful, the ROG Ally costs exactly the same, so the battle between the two will be interesting.
