A few days ago, we got word that Lenovo was preparing its own gaming handheld, the Windows-powered Lenovo Legion Go. The upcoming device is set to take on competing devices like the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck and ROG Ally, although it looks like Lenovo has something else up its sleeve.

New information from a source over at Windows Report indicates that Lenovo is also working on new Legion-branded AR glasses. While this isn't the company's first foray into the AR space (we already have the ThinkReality line), it seems that this new product will possibly integrate more heavily with the Legion Go, as part of a hardware ecosystem.

At the moment however, no specific hardware details or other information about the rumored AR device is available, although the "Legion" branding as well as a leaked image showing the device in action indicates that the glasses will be developed with gaming in mind. Additionally, it's also rumored that Lenovo might showcase the product during IFA 2023 this September.

While VR has been mainstream for some time now thanks to products like Sony's PS VR and the Oculus Quest, AR has yet to make a major resurgence, although the arrival of hardware such as Apple's Vision Pro indicates that we might see more manufacturers offer their own AR-powered products soon.

Gaming laptops have been around for ages, and one of my biggest gripes with such computers is that generally speaking, they tend to be big, bulky, heavy, and a pain to carry around. But hey, I suppose that's the price to pay for being able to game on the go, right?

If you're looking for a gaming laptop that doesn't weigh like a ton of bricks, you might want to check out Lenovo's latest offering, the Lenovo Legion Slim 5 14. This is the latest gaming laptop from Lenovo and part of their Legion series of gaming computers.

As its name suggests, the laptop comes with a 14-inch display. It has a 2.8K OLED display and a refresh rate of 120Hz, which is pretty sweet. Under the hood, Lenovo has opted to go with AMD's Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU for its top-of-the-line configuration, while also packing the incredibly powerful NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 GPU.

Gamers can also configure the laptop to pack as much as 64GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. It also boasts the use of Lenovo's ColdFront 5.0 technology to ensure the laptop stays as cool as possible even under heavy loads, plus there is also the Super Rapid Charge tech that allows it to be fully charged in just 80 minutes.

If you're keen on the Lenovo Legion Slim 5 14 laptop, it will be priced starting at $1,439.99 and will be available this September.

While cameras on laptops aren't anything new, they certainly could use some improvement, especially given the often unflattering angles that most users find themselves in during video calls and such. It seems that Lenovo is currently working on a way to address this, according to some patents uncovered online.

The patents - which were originally covered by tech site Pigtou and @xleaks7 - show a rather unique design approach in terms of optical hardware on laptops. Instead of a traditional design wherein the camera is embedded either in a laptop's bezel or on the keyboard, a handful of diagrams from Lenovo refers to a design that allows users to fix a camera's position, extending it to more favourable angles and even eye-level adjustments.

Essentially, a laptop using this approach will come with a dedicated compartment where the extended camera can fit inside, reducing unwanted weight and size. In addition to manually adjusting the height and angle of a camera, users can also automatically set a fixed angle which will turn on everytime that they need to use the camera for a meeting or such.

Alternatively, Lenovo also designed a slightly different patent that features a pen tool with a camera fixed onto the tip, which will likewise go into a dedicated slot. While there are currently no Lenovo products that make use of this design, it wouldn't be surprising to see these be integrated into a market-ready device in the future.

Considering that Lenovo obtained Motorola from Google as far as possible back in 2014, it's really unimaginable that it took the two brands such a long time to team up on a business-driven ThinkPhone with an unparalleled spotlight on versatile security and efficiency.

Globally divulged at the earliest reference point of this current year, the determinedly flighty first-gen handset arrived at the US a while later at an impressively lower price tag than initially anticipated.

In all honesty, that is not preventing Lenovo from charging even not exactly regular for an opened "ThinkPhone by Motorola" at the hour of this composition with the utilization of a clear and simple to-recall "THINKPHONEDEAL" e-coupon code.

You'll clearly need to (physically) add that to your Lenovo.com/us request prior to settling it, and assuming you do, the extraordinarily powerful and not-too-cumbersome 6.6-incher in a solitary Volcanic Dark variety will be wrecked from $699.99 to $569.99.

Indeed, even prior to thinking about all the business-accommodating fancy odds and ends, that feels like a very sensible cost to pay for a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 force to be reckoned with a rich smooth 144Hz P-OLED screen close by, as well as 8 gigs of Smash matched with 256GB inner extra room, three back confronting cameras (counting a 50MP essential shooter), and a heavy 5,000mAh battery equipped for 68W charging.

Probably the highest quality phones available anywhere at the present time, obviously, accompany better specs, yet no other customer gadget in this cost section shakes a durable aramid fiber development promoted as "more grounded and lighter than steel."

And afterward you have those implicit security includes that not many organizations can equal, as well as consistent network with Windows PCs (particularly ThinkPad workstations) to guarantee all your (business and individual) information stays protected in any circumstance, use case, and on a screen.

Recollect when the business-accommodating ThinkPhone was supposed to cost north of $1,000 in the US? That is by no means the case all things considered, with the very first Motorola-and-Lenovo-co-marked mobile device accessible stateside beginning today at "as it were" $699 in a solitary 256GB stockpiling variation.

That clearly doesn't put the durable 6.6-incher in a similar estimating classification as the best spending plan phones out there, yet it undermines Samsung's whole System S23 family, as well as any semblance of Motorola's own Edge+ (2022) leader (essentially at its "standard" cost).

In truth, the "Lenovo ThinkPhone by Motorola" or only "ThinkPhone by Motorola" isn't exactly pretty much as strong as the general best Android phones accessible today, pressing a marginally obsolete Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor. In any case, the P-OLED screen is a shocker, supporting cutting edge 144Hz revive rate innovation, the heavy 5,000mAh battery is outfitted with bursting quick 68W charging capacities, or more all, the security and efficiency highlights presented here are unmatched, particularly at $699.

The first-of-a-sort ThinkPhone can match up to your Lenovo ThinkPad PC no sweat and speed, and the equivalent really goes for Windows laptops from different brands too. Record moves between your handset and PC are likewise consistent, and with regards to information protection and security, Lenovo's ThinkShield programming and Moto KeySafe usefulness take care of you in any circumstance and conditions.

On top of everything, the not-too-thick Lenovo/Motorola ThinkPhone is stunningly made to deal with a periodic drop on a hard surface notwithstanding water inundation, residue, soil, and sand thanks to an uncommonly vigorous body joining your "standard" aluminum with aramid fiber materials.

Presently, the back confronting camera framework isn't precisely striking, including a 50MP essential shooter, 13MP super wide-point optional sensor, and 2MP profundity focal point, however you clearly can't have everything... at $699. Tragically, US accessibility could end up being somewhat of an issue as well, with local deals started off today through "select" business channels and an "development" to Motorola's US site booked for this Friday, April 28. There are no words on different stores or retailers joining the party at any point in the near future, which likely means... they will not.
