Lenovo just let slip that it’s working on two new handhelds

Lenovo has accidently revealed the names Legion Go Lite and Legion Go Gen 2 in a product document.

Lenovo has unintentionally confirmed the existence of two new upcoming handheld gaming consoles. The company recently shared documentation for its new Legion Go USB-C Dock, where the brochure lists support for two new devices: the Legion Go Gen 2 and Legion Go Lite.

This is not the first time there has been a mention of the Legion Go Lite. In May, Windows Central reported that Lenovo is working on a Lite version of the original Legion Go. It was suggested that this smaller 7-inch device would be powered by the same AMD Z1 series chipset and would feature certain refinements and a lower price tag.

Just two days ago, there was another leak by YouTuber NITRXX, who posted images of what seems to be the outer shell of the Legion Go Lite. By the looks of it, the new Legion Go Lite may feature fixed controllers, unlike the original Legion Go, eliminating the need for dedicated mouse hardware. It could also have a smaller trackpad beneath the right analog stick, fewer rear buttons, and repositioned auxiliary buttons.

As for the Legion Go Gen 2, there isn’t a lot of information at hand apart from its name. This is the first time such a product has been mentioned, and it could potentially be the actual successor to the existing Legion Go.

Lenovo’s original Legion Go features the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme, 16GB of LPDDR5X-7500 RAM, and up to 1TB of PCIe Gen4 SSD storage, which is comparable to rivals like the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally. What distinguishes the Legion Go is its larger 8-inch display and removable controllers, similar to the Nintendo Switch.

There is no credible information, but we expect the Legion Go Gen 2 to feature an upgraded chipset. AMD has new chips in the form of the Ryzen 8000 and its latest Ryzen AI 300, that are available on various laptops and mini PCs. While moving to a new AMD Z2 or Z2 Extreme would be the natural course, Intel’s latest Lunar Lake chips are quite promising and may be a suitable fit for future handheld gaming consoles.

The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.

The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.

Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.

"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.

I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.

However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
