Leaked images reveal Lenovo’s Steam Deck competitor with a hint of the Switch

Primarily based on the photographs, Lenovo’s tackle a PC gaming handheld seems so much like units equivalent to the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally, however it additionally has so much in frequent with the Nintendo Change. Based on Home windows Report, the Legion Go has an eight-inch display, pictures present two Pleasure-Con-like controllers that may be eliminated, and it even seems to have a large Change OLED-like kickstand which you can come out for tabletop gaming.

The Legion Go’s controllers seem like a mix of the Change’s flat however detachable Pleasure-Cons and the Steam Deck’s contoured however connected grips. There seems to be one contact pad on the appropriate controller — by comparability, the Steam Deck has contact pads on either side — however the again of that proper controller additionally apparently has a wheel. And because the controllers will be eliminated, Home windows Report speculates that the display is a touchscreen.

Maybe a very powerful takeaway from these obvious pictures of the machine (there are extra, and you may see them all at Windows Report) is that Lenovo isn’t shying away from making the Legion Go thick. Asus steered away from thickness and heft with the ROG Ally, which wound up with middling battery life, however we’re starting to see portables like the upcoming Ayaneo Kun pointed in direction of beefier batteries.

Home windows Report says Legion Go will run Home windows 11, that means it’s best to be capable to play any Home windows video games that help the machine’s specs. Home windows Central beforehand reported it might use AMD Phoenix processors, that are also found in the ROG Ally and different current and upcoming Home windows handhelds.

Lenovo didn’t instantly have a remark.
