Lenovo's Mixed Reality Headset Reportedly Arriving in August for $399
Rumor or Reality?

Ross McDougall, a member of the Lenovo Insider Program, tweeted Monday about Lenovo's dive into AR and VR, citing specific specs and dates. According to McDougall, Lenovo's Headset will be released August 2017 and retail for $399. He tweeted the headset would feature 1440 x 1440 resolution, weigh 380g (roughly 0.84 lbs), and feature 6 degrees of inside-out tracking. The latter item allowing the user to move their head in 3D space, replicating a real-world experience.
A second tweet from McDougall listed more features. These included dual VGA cameras, a content library featuring 20,000 Windows 10 2D applications, select hololens apps, and the Lenovo Entertainment Hub. McDougall claims the minimum PC specs will be Intel i5 & HD620 (RS3).
