Lenovo Legion Go S leaks with more compact body and Ryzen Z2

Following some rumors in the past, it appears that Lenovo is indeed working on a new version of the Legion Go. The brand’s new portable console, now called Legion Go S and leaked by Windows Central, will bring a new console. more compact design, white color and AMD Ryzen Z2 processor With slower specifications.

Starting with the design, the Lenovo Legion Go S has a chassis with more edges and less flat than its younger sibling. The entire control zone also closely resembles the ergonomics of Xbox models. more similar to rivals Steam Deck And ROG Ally from Asus.

The white color is also a prominent feature in the leaked material, which appears to come from Lenovo’s official drawings.

Less powerful Z2 chip

The fact that the Lenovo Legion Go S is equipped with AMD Ryzen Z2 defines two things. The first is that AMD must be really close to announcing new Ryzen Z2 chips and variants. Secondly, the model on the console must be the weakest version of this family.

The expectation is the laptop uses a Ryzen Z2 with older Rembrandt architectureit still uses the Zen 3+ core set and has RDNA 2 based graphics. This means the Go S is meant to be an entry-level product that doesn’t have as much raw power as the original Legion Go.

With CES taking place in early January 2025, Lenovo is likely to wait a few weeks before unveiling its new console. The same goes for AMD, which should reserve the trade show to talk about its new CPUs.
