Sure thing, here we go:

Oh wow, I stumbled on something wild today. So, apparently, in China, Lenovo’s next big thing, something they’re calling the Legion Go 2, just popped up out of nowhere. Some Reddit user with the catchy name Worth_Spot spilled the beans, saying that since Lenovo’s console plant shut down, these rare prototypes are surfacing on second-hand sites. It’s like finding treasure in a bargain bin.
Anyway, there’s this in-depth video floating around on YouTube—originally posted on BiliBili or something. The device kind of looks like the old model, but you can take the controllers off, and it’s got this massive 8.8-inch screen. Gotta admit, the display sounds dreamy with Samsung’s OLED thing going on, HDR and all that jazz. Not gonna lie, I got lost in the specs for a second—resolution’s lower at 1920 x 1200, but it’s got a 144 Hz refresh rate, which basically means silky smooth gaming moments with less tearing and stutter (I think?).
They say it’s running with an AMD Ryzen Z2 processor, 8-core/16-thread CPU—which honestly sounds like something from a sci-fi novel—and a 12-core Radeon 780M GPU. During some CES show, Lenovo hinted this Legion Go 2 would pack an optional Ryzen Z2 Extreme or something… sounds intense.
Oh, and in the video, it’s mentioned that there’s a 1TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD onboard and mind-blowingly 32GB of RAM clocked at 7500 MHz. Not to mention a 74Wh battery. Techy stuff, but cool, right? Plus, you’ve got Wi-Fi 6E and Windows 11. There’s talk about slick features like game libraries and on-screen stats. One of the controllers doubles as a mouse, which is just bonkers. They whisper it’ll hit in September for a grand. But who knows, right?
Meanwhile, Lenovo’s only officially selling the Legion Go S with a Ryzen Z1, or its cooler cousin the Z2 Go. Asus is creating competition with their ROG Xbox Ally, partnering with Microsoft for super Xbox-y integration straight outta the box. Kind of makes you wonder how Lenovo plans to stay in the game, huh?
So, yeah, this is the latest scoop. Or maybe it’s just rumors. Either way, it’s a fun ride. Keep your eyes peeled for what’s up next.
