IFA technically kicks off today in Berlin, but it seems like Lenovo may have won the thing outright. I\u2019ve given the company plenty of credit in the past for its willingness to try new things in this oft-staid world of consumer electronics, and it\u2019s really come out of the gates swinging.<\/p>\n
Much of its IFA has been focused on the gaming side of things \u2014 specifically through its Legion line of products, and there are two big additions that warrant mention here. First up is the real left-field addition, the Legion Glasses. In a world lacking a cohesive augmented reality vision, the Chinese manufacturer is better on gaming. Not casual gaming, mind, rather the PC variety.<\/p>\n

You could say there\u2019s an approximation of spatial computing. \u201cWearable display is probably the most accurate description. Here however, the system is meant to approximate a large gaming monitor. It accomplishes that with the inclusion of Micro-OLED panels, with a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution for each eye, coupled with a 60Hz refresh rate.<\/p>\n Given all that, it\u2019s impressive that the company\u2019s managed to keep things down to $329 (it\u2019s all relative, folks). That\u2019s due out in October, alongside the Legion Go<\/a>.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve seen a lot of comparisons to Nintendo\u2019s Switch floating around, owing to its on-board processing, via the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme \u2014 in contrast to the Steam Deck\u2019s streaming. The benefit of playing games locally should be clear to anyone who\u2019s encountered even the slightest bit of latency with cloud gaming.<\/p>\n The handheld sports an 8.8-inch QHD Plus display and a decently sized 49.2Wh battery. It\u2019s designed to play PC games, which is a nice bounty to tap into. There\u2019s 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage. The Switch-style detachable controls are also a nice touch. It\u2019s gonna set you back $699.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
