WeRide and Lenovo introduce HPC 3.0 platform for L4 autonomous vehicles
Autonomous driving technology company WeRide has unveiled its latest high-performance computing platform, HPC 3.0, co-developed with Lenovo. This NVIDIA's new DRIVE AGX Thor chip-powered platform is integral to WeRide's mass-produced Level 4 (L4) autonomous vehicle, the Robotaxi GXR. This platform is said to minimise the cost of autonomous driving suites by 50%, facilitating the large-scale commercial deployment of the GXR. WeRide noted that the platform features a dual NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor configuration running the safety-certified DriveOS. It is built on the AD1 L4 autonomous driving domain controller of Lenovo and delivers up to 2,000 TOPS of AI compute. The platform not only enhances core capabilities but also streamlines system integration, slashing mass production expenses to a quarter of that of HPC 2.0. Additionally, it is said to consolidate key modules such as controller area network (CAN) gateway, Ethernet gateway, inertial navigation, and collision identification. This consolidation leads to lower production and maintenance expenses, reducing the total cost of ownership by a staggering 84% over its lifecycle in comparison with its predecessor. WeRide added that its HPC 3.0's design architecture meets the Automotive Safety Integrity Level D (ASIL-D) safety level, with a failure rate below 50 FIT (failures per billion hours of operation) and a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 120,000 to 180,000 hours. Designed for durability, it claims to withstand extreme temperatures and is compliant with global VOCs environmental standards. This makes HPC 3.0 suitable for international deployment, supporting WeRide's ambition to scale its Robotaxi fleet globally. WeRide CEO and founder Tony Han said: 'Integrating the HPC 3.0 platform into our Robotaxi GXR enhances vehicle reliability and responsiveness while significantly reducing deployment costs. Moving forward, we plan to extend this platform across more of our L4 autonomous vehicles — including the Robobus, and Robosweeper — bringing smart, accessible mobility to more cities and customers worldwide.' Since 2017, NVIDIA has been an important investor in WeRide through its NVIDIA Inception programme. In May 2025, WeRide announced its expansion into Saudi Arabia, demonstrating its commitment to its global growth strategy.

Leaked Lenovo Legion Go 2 Will Make You Mad at Xbox and Nintendo
If you're on the fence about whether to snatch up a $450 Nintendo Switch 2, or if you're still hemming and hawing about that upcoming Xbox handheld made by Asus, there's one more device that looks set to make your wallet scream bloody murder. We haven't seen hide nor hair of Lenovo's Legion Go 2 for about six months now, but leaks suggest it could be the sequel handheld you were actually looking for, thanks to a major screen upgrade that neither Nintendo nor Xbox is offering for its current-gen handhelds. The story goes back to several posts on Reddit, where some users claimed there were a slew of leaked Legion Go 2 models available through China-centric prototype and aftermarket reseller Xianyu. While Gizmodo could not confirm there were Legion Go 2 units changing hands, Videocardz claims to have seen models up for sale on these Chinese sites. Either way, some users have already pushed out videos allegedly showing the ins and outs of Lenovo's upcoming sequel handheld. One, posted by YouTuber in yo, shows off a prototype with its 8.8-inch OLED display. It's still running regular old Windows, just like the original Legion Go S released earlier this year. Lenovo later unleashed its same handheld with SteamOS, which offered a major boost in performance. The prototype shown in that video is reminiscent of early prototypes we saw last year. Despite this being an early model, the 1200p OLED display at 144Hz and VRR—AKA variable refresh rate—is still the real star of the show. We don't mind the Switch 2's 7.9-inch display despite ghosting issues that leave some games—especially fast-paced sidescrollers—looking blurry. Nor did we have many complaints about the Asus ROG Ally X's smaller screen, save for its relatively low brightness. Let's face it, OLED still wins every day. The Steam Deck OLED has a 720p display, and yet we still prefer it to most handhelds we've used that are still beholden to IPS LCD. Lenovo is likely waiting for Microsoft to release its version of Windows built specifically for handhelds. It essentially uses the Xbox app as the front-end user interface for accessing all your games on Xbox as well as third-party launchers like Steam and Epic Games Store. Like SteamOS, it will also dual-boot with a regular version of Windows for users to access all their regular apps. Microsoft hasn't offered a release date for that Windows version, but it could arrive later this year and would have backward support for all previous Windows-based handhelds. I first went hands-on with the Legion Go 2 at CES back in January. The device was still just a prototype, but AMD had the machine running with its upcoming Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip, which is supposed to be the next big thing for handheld performance. I didn't have any time to test its overall performance or to get a feel for its improved ergonomics with its detachable controllers. The videos of leaked Legion Go 2 models show off how you can still detach each side of the device to go controllers akimbo. The right-side control stick can still act as a mouse cursor for playing FPS or RTS games, though we'd have to test whether it's as smooth and accurate as Nintendo's Switch 2 mouse controls proved to be. The YouTuber did include an internal specs sheet for the device. This version of the Legion Go 2 apparently didn't house a Z2 Extreme chipset but a regular Z2. The higher-end AMD APU—or accelerated processing unit with graphics capabilities—isn't using AMD's latest chip microarchitecture, Zen 5. It's still a Zen 4 chip, which will likely be closest in performance to the previous gen's Ryzen Z1 Extreme. This indicates there will likely be a lower-cost version of the Legion Go 2 to accompany a pricier model. This version also included 32GB of LPPDR5 7,500MHz RAM, which would put it in the higher echelons of gaming handhelds where memory is concerned. Lenovo hasn't given any indication on how much the Legion Go 2 would cost. Let's put any dewy-eyed hope to rest—it's not going to be cheap. The ROG Xbox Ally was already tipped to cost a pretty penny. If the Xbox Ally X with Z2 Extreme demands $1,000 or more, it almost guarantees the Legion Go 2 will be nearly as pricey with its larger and better-looking display. Look what happened to the MSI Claw 8 AI+, which went from $900 to $1,000, likely due to Trump tariffs. Getting the best display on the most powerful handheld will inevitably demand more from your wallet.

Lenovo 15.6″ IdeaPad (16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) Goes for Peanuts as Amazon Clears Out This Laptop at 74% Off
That summer sun is still shining down on us, but it will be fall before we know it. Students will be headed back to campus for the next semester. Does that describe you or your child? If so, make sure you or they are set up for success in the new school year with a proper laptop that can handle everything the professors require. You can get prepared without paying a pretty penny. Amazon has a bunch of student laptops on sale right now including this Lenovo IdeaPad. For a limited time, you can scoop up this touchscreen laptop for a significant discount of 74%. That brings the price down from $1,900 to just $496. See at Amazon Now let's get this straight up top—this discount is a big lie. This Lenovo IdeaPad's pricing history at Amazon only goes as far back as May. After its first week, it immediately shot down in price to roughly where its at now. Since then, about once a month it went up to its list price again but only for a few hours at a time before going back down. This is a tactic a lot of sellers on Amazon will employ to give the illusion of a huge savings. If we go to Lenovo's own website, we'll find laptops with similar specs listed in the $600 to $700 range. So with that in mind, this is still a good deal—saving you about $100 to $200. It's just not the earth-shattering discount of $1,400 Amazon wants you to think it is. With this Lenovo IdeaPad, we're looking at 15.6-inch laptop with touchscreen capabilities so you can choose to operate it like as tablet. It's lightweight and easy to transport between classes and the dorms. It's powered by a 12th generation Intel Core i3 processor, working with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage on its PCIe NVMe SSD. It has support for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. The sides feature one USB 2.0 port, one USB 3.2 port, one USB-C 3.2 port, and HDMI to connect to a second monitor, an SD card reader, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The laptop comes preinstalled with Windows 11 Pro. Battery can last up to 10 hours. According to Amazon, this Lenovo IdeaPad touchscreen laptop is down a whopping 74%—but you and I know better than that. What we have is a great budget-friendly laptop going for under $500—an excellent option for students looking for something to handle some basic email, web browsing, and document drafting for schoolwork.

Top Chromebooks that can replace your budget Windows laptop in 2025
If your laptop is due for an upgrade and you are not sure what to get next, chances are a Chromebook has popped into your mind. Chromebooks have leveled up in a big way – especially with Google's recent AI push. That's brought better hardware and a bunch of new smart features into the mix, making today's models feel way more capable than you'd expect. But what actually makes a Chromebook different from a regular laptop, you wonder? The short version: Chromebooks run ChromeOS instead of Windows or macOS. They're built around the cloud, boot up fast, get automatic updates and usually cost less. You won't get full desktop apps unless you use the Android or web versions, but for everyday stuff – email, docs, Netflix, light creative work – they're more than enough. If that sounds like your kind of use, a Chromebook might be the smarter buy. So, here are five great options worth looking at in 2025. With the Chromebook Duet you get 2-in-1 experience. | Image credit – Lenovo If you are always on the move, this one is a no-brainer. The Duet 2025 is a super portable 11-inch 2-in-1 Chromebook with a detachable keyboard. Basically, it is a tablet and a laptop in one – no extra accessories needed. Big selling point: Ultra-lightweight and versatile 2-in-1 design that's perfect for travel. Starting at $339, it's a great pick for students, frequent travelers, or anyone who wants something compact that still gets the job done. Whether you're reading, streaming, or typing up quick docs, the Duet keeps things simple and light. Asus CX15 15.6 inch/Asus - CX14 14 inch Great for budget buyers who want a tough build With Asus CX14 you get a more rugged build at a low price. | Image credit – Asus These two Chromebooks are all about size and simplicity. Whether you go for the larger 15.6-inch CX15 or the more compact CX14, you're getting a well-built machine that doesn't break the bank. And if durability matters, these are MIL-STD-810H certified – meaning they've passed a bunch of military-grade tests for heat, cold, shock, vibration, and more. Big selling point: Rugged build with a large screen for under $250 (often less with deals). If you want a solid daily laptop that's tough, affordable, and roomy, this is it. Perfect for video watching, browsing, or even some light multitasking – without worrying about babying your device. It is one of the few that still have a HDMI port. | Image credit – HP This one's been a budget go-to for years – and for good reason. It doesn't try to wow you with specs, but it nails the basics. It's affordable (starts at $299), dependable and gets the job done with zero drama. Big selling point: It has all the ports – including HDMI – which is rare in this price range. Think: 2 x USB-C 2 x USB-A 1 x HDMI Headphone jack That makes it a great pick for students, first-time users, or anyone who just needs a reliable device for YouTube, Google Docs, email, and Zoom. Yeah, it is a solid option if you're buying for someone who mainly uses Google services (think an elder relative, for example) and needs a laptop that "just works." You can choose from different chipsets. | Image credit – Acer This is where things start to feel snappy. As part of the Chromebook Plus lineup, the Acer 514 steps up with faster processors, double the storage and built-in Gemini AI tools inside Google apps. Big selling point: Chromebook Plus performance without the high price. You can get it with an AMD Ryzen 3 7320C, 8 GB RAM and 128 GB SSD for around $300. Prefer Intel? There's a Core i3 version, too, but it jumps to $399 for the same difference? Intel chips are known for strong single-core performance, which makes them great for things like fast browsing, quick app launches and smoother performance in day-to-day tasks. AMD chips, on the other hand, usually offer more cores and threads for the price, which makes them great for multitasking, content creation, and better battery life. They also tend to run cooler and cost less. So, AMD gives you better value, while Intel brings a bit more stability and speed – your overall, this is one of the best picks for anyone who needs more power without paying premium laptop prices. This is the newest of them all. | Video credit – Google If you are ready to spend a little more and want a Chromebook that feels a lot more premium, this one is calling your name. For $649, you get 12 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage and an ultra-thin (.63"), ultra-light (2.58 lbs) design. It runs on the new ARM-based MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910 chip. ARM chips are more efficient and Lenovo says you can get up to 17 hours of battery life. That's basically two days of casual use without charging. Big selling point: Up to 17 hours of battery life, thanks to its ARM-based chip. It also supports Wi-Fi 7 for faster, more stable connectivity – super handy considering most of your Chromebook activity happens online. Honestly, this model is the closest thing we've seen to Google's old Pixelbook Go or even a MacBook Air, but in ChromeOS form. If long battery life, portability, and premium build matter to you – this is the one to buy.
