Lilbits: Nintendo Switch 2 and Lenovo Legion Go 2 designs leaked

This morning we reported that Evan Blass had leaked pictures of the upcoming Lenovo Legion Go S handheld gaming PC that hinted the budget handheld would ship with Valve’s SteamOS rather than Windows. This afternoon, Blass shared pictures of another upcoming Lenovo handheld with The Verge, giving us a look at an upcoming premium model with a bigger screen and detachable controllers.

While full details haven’t been revealed yet, Blass says it’ll have an OLED display, which is a nice upgrade over the IPS LCD screen in the original Legion Go. Odds are that the processor will also get a processor spec bump.

Meanwhile, the design of Nintendo’s next handheld game console has allegedly been leaked by an accessory maker, the Epic Games Store will be pre-installed on millions of Android devices sold in Europe and Latin America, and a hardware hacker has figured out how to add an M.2 slot to the Raspberry Pi 500 keyboard-in-a-computer.

Here’s a roundup of recent tech news from around the web.

In a lot of ways the Raspberry Pi 500 is basically what you’d get if you took the hardware from a Raspberry Pi 5 and stuffed inside a keyboard chassis. One missing feature? M.2 support. But a hacker has figured out how to add one.
