AMD's 'Strix Halo' (ie, Ryzen AI Max 300) chips have been a bit of a damp squib for gaming. Despite some initial and possibly naïve hopes that it could deliver fantastic integrated graphics for mainstream gaming laptops and handhelds, in reality it's been out for a year and has delivered only a little. Instead, it's primarily been found in weird hybrid tablets, ridiculously expensive handhelds, and a select few similarly expensive workstation laptops. It looks like that might soon change, though.
Lenovo has been cooking up some new gaming laptops, some of which it showed off for CES 2026 (including one with a rollable screen), and it's just hinted that a Strix Halo laptop might be in the works. Specifically, a 'Lenovo Legion 7 15ASH11', which was for a while listed as a supported model for its Legion Space software (via VideoCardz).
Note the 'ASH' there, which presumably stands for 'AMD Strix Halo.' It's noteworthy that although VideoCardz shows this model listed in a screenshot, it looks like Lenovo has now deleted this entry in addition to a couple of others, including the 'Legion 7 15N1X11'. This model presumably refers to a laptop featuring N1X, a long-anticipated Arm-based Nvidia CPU that's rumoured to launch very soon.
