A Z1 processor, as on the portable console ROG Ally, and glasses to always have your “screen” with you.
Just yesterday, Windows Report released new information and, above all, the first photos of the Lenovo Legion Go. Our colleagues, however, had a few cartridges in reserve.
Z1 “basic” or Z1 Extreme?
Indeed, today we have confirmation that the chip at the heart of the console is from the same series as that which currently equips the ASUS ROG Ally, it is an APU Z1 signed AMD.
However, the doubt is not yet completely lifted on the version of this chip, knowing that AMD has planned two versions, Z1 and Z1 Extreme, for ASUS, even if the ROG Ally only uses the second, the most powerful. New pictures posted by Windows Report leave no room for doubt for the Z1 series, and our colleagues also mention the presence of 8 CPU cores for 12 GPU calculation units.

Such values would confirm the use of the Z1 Extreme, but in their comments the editors of Windows Report are careful not to talk about Z1 Extreme. We will therefore remain vague for the moment.

Mouse wheel and many buttons
Another interesting point, the controllers, similar to the Joy-Con of the Nintendo Switch, are more complete. On the new photos published by our colleagues, we actually notice additional orders.
Thus, buttons are present on the back of each of the Joy-Cons, while the right one incorporates a scroll wheel typical of mice. It is also equipped with a “mouse sensor” which we do not know the usefulness. We can also notice the presence of an “FPS mode” switch and two buttons on the edge of this controller.
In fact, the two Joy-Cons of the Legion Go are not symmetrical. We are curious to see how ergonomic they are. Finally, note the confirmation of the Legion AR glasses to complete the console. These are glasses that look very similar to the T1s announced last year, the objective of which is to offer ” private display for on-the-fly play “.
We will not know more for the moment. We still have no information, in particular on the release date or the price of the Legion Go… unless our colleagues from Windows Report still have revelations in stock?
