Even though IFA officially begins today in Berlin, it appears as though Lenovo has already taken first place in the competition. In the past, I have been more than prepared to give the firm plenty of credit for its readiness to attempt new things in the traditionally conservative world of household electronics; but, it has truly come off of the gates flying.
A significant portion of its IFA presentation has been devoted to the gaming sector, more specifically through the Legion product line; in this context, there have been two significant additions that merit mentioning.
The Legion Glasses are the first item on the agenda because they are such an outlandish addition. In a world that does not have a unified vision for augmented reality; the Chinese maker is superior when it comes to gaming. Not to be confused with casual gaming, but rather the PC gaming sort.
There are a few similarities between what we have in mind and what Apple has in mind for the Vision Pro. A rough estimate of spatial computation could be said to exist. “Wearable display” is perhaps the most accurate descriptor of this technology.
On the other hand, the system is designed to function in a manner that is analogous to that of a huge gaming monitor. It does this by incorporating micro-OLED screens, each of which has a resolution of 1,920 by 1,080 pixels, and a refresh rate of 60 hertz (Hz).
Taking everything into consideration, it is remarkable that the manufacturer was able to retain the price at only $329 (remember, everything is relative). That and the Legion Go are both scheduled for release in the month of October.
Because of its onboard manufacturing, which is provided by the Ryzen processor from AMD Z1 Extreme, the Steam Deck has garnered a lot of similarities to Nintendo’s Switch. Conversely, the Steam Deck relies on streaming to provide its content.
Anyone who has experienced even the tiniest amount of latency while playing games through the cloud should have no trouble understanding why playing games locally is preferable.
The display on this mobile device measures 8.8 inches and uses a battery that has a capacity of 49.2-watt hours. It was built to play personal computer games, so it’s a lucrative market to enter. There is up to 1 terabyte of storage space and up to 16 gigabytes of RAM.
The removable controls in the style of the Nintendo Switch are also a great addition. It will set you back a total of $699.
