From PC World: The original Lenovo Legion Go hasn’t exactly set the world on fire, but it’s notable as a Steam Deck-style gaming handheld from a major player that isn’t afraid to try new ideas.
And it looks like Lenovo isn’t letting the tepid response to its first model get it down. No less than three new versions of the Legion Go have been spotted in official testing by a regulator.
The Eurasian Economic Commission, a customs body that handles imports for Russia and several partner states, published documentation for the three models. NotebookCheck spotted the documentation, which mentions model numbers 8ARP1, 8AHP2, and 8ASP2. The original Legion Go that was released a year ago uses the designation 8APU1, so these look like significant departures.
We’ve already heard a few whispers about a “lite” version of the Legion Go, presumably slimming down the beefy 8-inch handheld’s dimensions, so one of these three models could be that design (if it’s still active). NotebookCheck makes an educated guess that the “SP2” and “HP2” in the model numbers might correspond to AMD Strix Point and AMD Hawk Point processors, respectively. That would mean APUs in the Ryzen AI 200 and Ryzen AI 300 families, probably sporting the “Z Extreme” branding seen on handhelds like the Legion Go and the Asus ROG Ally.
