In October 2023, Lenovo released the Legion Go – portable gaming console-transformer based on Windows 11, thanks to which the manufacturer planned to compete with such devices as Valve's Steam Deck and ASUS ROG Ally (by the way, we have a large review of Legion Go on our website at the link, and here you can learn more about Steam Deck). However, the Legion Go had a few significant differences from other portable gaming PCs. Yes, it was distinguished by a much larger 8.8-inch display than its competitors, as well as removable controllers.
The quality of the screen, the well-thought-out design, the cool Legion Space service, which is a convenient hub for gaming, – these are all strengths of the device. But the manufacturer, it seems, is not going to leave this console alone in its range. Recently, the Windows Central resource, citing unnamed sources, reported that Lenovo is working on a new version of Legion Go. According to the report, it will be labeled “Lite”, which could mean a slightly more affordable version of the device.
The sources did not specify how exactly the future console will differ from its predecessor or what specifications will remain unchanged. It is only known that the device will retain the AMD Ryzen Z1 processor, as in the first console. But if it's a more affordable version of Legion Go, maybe the Lite version will have a smaller screen, or the manufacturer will ditch the detachable controllers to keep the price down. There is also no word on when this version of Legion Go will hit the market or how much it will actually cost.
