Lenovo Legion Go 512GB Gaming Handheld: Save 30% Today

Lenovo Legion Go with AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme Processor

$699.99 (Save 29%) Now only $499.99 at Amazon

The Windows-powered Lenovo Legion Go packs serious performance with its AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme APU, Radeon graphics, and 16GB RAM - matching the specs of Asus's $700 ROG Ally models. Its standout 8.8" 2560x1600 144Hz IPS touchscreen dwarfs competitors' displays, while its Switch-like detachable controllers add versatility. Running Windows 11 means compatibility with every major gaming platform: Steam, Epic Games, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and others.

In her comprehensive review, Jacqueline Thomas praised the Legion Go as "currently the market's most powerful handheld gaming PC when considering screen size, performance, and connectivity." She noted its massive 1600p display occasionally exceeds the hardware's capabilities, requiring some graphics adjustments for optimal performance. While battery life could be better and it carries a premium over Steam Deck, Thomas concluded: "If you love Nintendo Switch's flexibility but want PC gaming power, this is absolutely your best choice."

Though the newer Asus ROG Ally X now competes for the "best handheld" crown, its $899.99 price makes the $499.99 Legion Go the clear value winner.

Pair your Legion Go with a high-capacity power bank and MicroSD card for maximum portability. Our Steam Deck versus ROG Ally comparison provides valuable insights into Windows-powered versus SteamOS handheld differences.
