Lenovo seems to have unintentionally bolstered rumors of a new Legion Go PC gaming handheld with details published on its own product page in a since-removed FAQ spotted by VideoCardz. The page hinted at a console with a “7-inch or 8-inch display,” an HDMI port, and dual fans — things the original Legion Go lacks — before it was apparently removed.

You can still find the FAQ on The Internet Archive, where I found snapshots as far back as May 4th, 2024, and as recently as yesterday. In addition to those details, Windows Central suggests that the console will be named the Lenovo Legion Go “S,” not “Lite,” as has been rumored until now.

The current version of the Legion Go features an 8.8-inch screen and a single fan and outputs video over USB-C. The FAQ only mentions dual fans, which led Windows Central to speculate that the slip represents an overall refresh for the system. Lenovo hasn’t announced these details, however, so do take this all with a grain of salt.
