The Lenovo Legion Go: A Handheld Gaming Powerhouse
The Lenovo Legion Go has arrived, and it’s making waves in the handheld gaming PC market. With its impressive specs and features, it’s giving the Steam Deck OLED a run for its money. But is it worth the hefty price tag?
Design and Features
The Lenovo Legion Go is a beast of a device, measuring in at 8.27 inches wide and 5.6 inches tall, with a thickness of 0.79 inches. It’s a chunky handheld, to say the least, and may not be comfortable for those with smaller hands. However, the removable controllers on the sides of the screen make it easy to prop up on a table and play games without having to hold it.

Performance
The AMD Z1 Extreme chip powering the Lenovo Legion Go makes it a mobile gaming beast. It performs similarly to other handheld gaming PCs with the same chip, such as the Asus ROG Ally and the Ayaneo 2. You can expect to get a solid 30-60 fps in most games at 1200p, especially if you’re willing to turn down the graphics sliders.

Battery Life
No one expects a handheld gaming PC to last all day, especially one with a huge screen and a hungry chip. However, the Lenovo Legion Go impressed us with its battery life, especially when playing lower-intensity indie games like Hades.

Purchasing Guide
The Lenovo Legion Go is available now, starting at $699.99 for a 512GB SSD model. You can upgrade to a 1TB drive for $749.99. Apart from the SSD, both devices have the exact same internals, display, and size.
Verdict
The Lenovo Legion Go is easily the best handheld gaming PC on the market right now, with its large 8.8-inch screen, powerful AMD Z1 Extreme chip, and removable controllers. However, it’s not without its caveats - it’s massive, and the battery life isn’t great. But if you’re willing to spend the money, it’s definitely worth it.
