Lenovo Legion Go 2 Prototype Revealed Before China Launch: Features Ryzen Z2, OLED Display, 1TB SSD, and 32GB RAM

Sure, here’s the messy, human-like rendition:

So, I stumbled on this weird thing from China, right? Lenovo—or someone, who knows—might be cooking up a new handheld console. Reddit user Worth_Spot (where do people come up with these names?) says, after Lenovo said bye-bye to its factory making these things, someone decided to sell off a bunch of developer units on some Chinese sites. Yeah, second-hand, because why not?

There’s this video floating around—spotted it on YouTube, but it was actually from BiliBili. It’s a sneak peek of a Legion Go 2 prototype. It’s got that same detachable controller vibe, and this sort of mega 8.8-inch screen. The screen’s OLED, from Samsung. Fancy, right? Shows HDR stuff, though it’s got a lower res than before: 1920 x 1200. Oh, and it does 144 Hz refresh rate. Smooth, they say? Maybe. It won’t tear or stutter, supposedly.

Oh, and there’s a link to a video—they gotta sell this stuff somehow, right?

Under the hood, there’s a lot going on. There’s talk of an AMD Ryzen Z2 processor. Eight cores, sixteen threads—sounds impressive but, I mean, what do I know? And a Radeon 780M GPU. Earlier in the year at CES, Lenovo hinted, “Hey, this’ll get a Ryzen Z2 Extreme!” Flashy names, big promises.

Plus, a ton of specs to drool over. A whopping 1TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD, a generous 32GB of LPDDR5X memory zooming at 7500 MHz, and a 74Wh battery. This beast handles Wi-Fi 6E, and it has Windows 11 crammed inside. It even has cool gaming stuff—game library, stats, performance settings. All I keep wondering is, can you use it as a frisbee?

Now, one controller transforms into a mouse. Magic, right? No launch date from Lenovo—are they even in on this? Rumor mill says September, with a price tag somewhere around $1,000. Seems hefty, but hey, it’s new tech. Or something.

Quick tangent: Lenovo’s got a pressure situation here with Asus cozying up to Microsoft. Rumors of the ROG Xbox Ally swoop in with an easier Xbox integration. Will Lenovo handle it, or will they flub? Man, it’s just crazy juggling.

You might be wondering… what does Tom’s Hardware have to say? Well, just follow them on Google News, if you want more tech gossip and insights. Who doesn’t love some geeky chit-chat, right?

Anyway, where was I? Lenovo’s at a crossroads. Do they upgrade the Legion Go or let Asus and Microsoft take over? Weird tech times for sure.
