Prototype of Lenovo Legion Go 2 Spotted Before China Launch — Featuring Ryzen Z2, OLED Display, 1TB SSD, 32GB RAM, and More

Sure thing, here goes:

So, I stumbled across this thing. You know how you’re just scrolling through Reddit, half paying attention? Anyway, this early look at what might be the next Lenovo Legion Go, I think I saw it somewhere. Someone — gets credited as Worth_Spot — mentioned on Reddit that ever since Lenovo closed their console factory (why do companies even do that?), the leftover development units are flooding Chinese second-hand sites. Really.

There’s a video, by the way, on YouTube — but first on BiliBili, if that matters. The new gadget, this prototype, has an OLED screen from Samsung, if you trust what the video says. It’s huge, I mean 8.8 inches. Yeah, everything’s a bit bigger now, I guess. Though, oddly, it’s got this lower 1920 x 1200 resolution, but hey — it does 144 Hz refresh rate which means less screen tearing. Anyway, it’s supposed to make everything smoother.

I was watching (with way too much focus), and the thing’s supposed to run on an AMD Ryzen Z2 (Zen 4 architecture? Reminds me, I should’ve probably paid more attention in school). If I remember right, they’re claiming it’s got an 8-core CPU and a 12-core Radeon 780M GPU. Nerdy stuff, but I can’t help but think it sounds intense. At CES (or was it somewhere else?), Lenovo hinted about going full-tilt with some Z2 Extreme processor or whatever.

Oh, something about a 1TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD tossed in there, with 32GB of LPDDR5X memory. Those numbers just roll off the tongue, right? And it’s packing a 74Wh battery. Features keep on coming — Wi-Fi 6E, Windows 11 pre-installed (as if anything else could be), and handy gaming bits like on-screen stats. It even morphs part-time as a trackpad and mouse. Price? Maybe $1,000? September could be the release month. Or maybe not. Who knows.

Rammed into comparisons with the competitors, Asus is shaking hands with Microsoft for devices like the ROG Xbox Ally. Brings to mind that classic tech tug-of-war, Lenovo vs Asus. As if life wasn’t competitive enough.

So if you’re into this kinda thing, there it is. Might be worth a look? Or not. Up to you.

This is probably one of those times I rambled a bit. Anyway, wherever I was — oh, right, see you later!
