Lenovo’s powerful Legion Go handheld is £50 off at Amazon UK
Lenovo’s Legion Go is the most powerful and specced out PC handheld we’ve seen yet, with a mammoth 8-inch 1600p 144Hz screen, Z1 Extreme chipset and detachable controllers – one of which turns into a pseudo-mouse for FPS action. The Legion Go debuted at £649, a price at which we found it largely compelling, but now it’s dropped to something a bit more reasonable – £649.
That £50 discount doesn’t make it a budget option by any means, especially with the most affordable Steam Deck at £349 and an OLED model at £479, but it’s still a welcome price drop on one of the most intriguing PC handhelds we’ve seen yet.

One in five PCs this year will ship with AI-enabled chips inside — and by 2027, six in 10 PCs shipped will be AI-native, according to research released Wednesday from IDC and Gartner. Shipments of AI-enabled smartphones are also predicted to explode over the next year.
Shipments of artificial intelligence (AI) PCs — personal computers with specific system-on-a-chip (SoC) capabilities designed to run generative AI (genAI) tasks locally — are expected to grow from nearly 50 million units in 2024 to more than 167 million in 2027, according to new report from research firm IDC.
iOS 17.4 Allows Video Calling Apps to Turn Off Hand Gesture Reactions to Prevent Awkward Moments
Unfortunately, many users are unaware that this new feature is turned on by default, leading to some awkward and embarrassing moments during important video calls, such as online therapy sessions and business meetings.
Fortunately, Apple has come up with a solution.
Alongside iOS 17.4 and iPadOS 17.4, Apple is releasing a new API that allows video conferencing apps to turn off the gesture-based reactions by default in their apps, according to information obtained by MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris. We have not yet confirmed if Apple has also made the API available for macOS 14.4.
iOS 17.4, iPadOS 17.4, and macOS 14.4 are currently in beta, and the software updates are expected to be released in March.
Users can already easily turn off the feature on their own end on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
