While some handheld gaming PC manufacturers are busy cornering the comically large form factor market, Lenovo has slipped in to announce several new – and considerably more portable – devices of its own, including the Legion Go 2 and a handheld utilising SteamOS.
Starting with the Legion Go 2, that’s Lenovo’s currently still-in-prototype second generation handheld gaming PC, which – alongside its built-in kickstand and ergonomically improved detachable controllers – sports an 8.8-inch OLED display with VRR support, and comes equipped with either the upcoming AMD Ryzen Z2 or Ryzen Z2 Extreme. It can also sport up to 32GB of RAM and 2TB of SSD storage, to further boost its beefy credentials.
Unfortunately, there’s no hint of a release window or price for the Legion Go 2 just yet, with Lenovo instead choosing to focus its attention on its other newly announced handheld gaming PC: the more modest, and more imminently available, Legion Go S.
The Legion Go S offers a sleeker alternative to Lenovo’s existing Legion Go, doing away with the former’s detachable controllers in favour of a more rounded all-in-one design. It features an 8-inch, 16:10 IPS LCD multi-touch screen (with a 120Hz variable refresh rate and 1920 x 1200 resolution), alongside hall-effect thumbsticks, a redesigned D-pad, and dual stage triggers.
