Lenovo’s Steam Deck-style gaming handheld is $200 off right now
Want a Steam Deck-style gaming handheld with a bigger screen and extra features? Check out the Lenovo Legion Go. Not only does it have a super-sized 8.8-inch screen, its handles can pop off a la the Nintendo Switch, and one of them can even be used as a pseudo gaming mouse. And right now, Amazon is selling the Lenovo Legion Go on sale for $500, a whopping $200 off its original price. The Legion Go uses the same souped-up AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor seen in the Asus ROG Ally, with an impressive 2560×1600 resolution and 144Hz refresh rate to really make that oversized screen shine. Inside is 512GB of storage and 16GB of RAM, not to mention a robust cooling system to keep it all ticking. The Legion Go includes a touchpad and programmable rear “paddle” buttons, which are sometimes omitted on Windows-based Steam Deck-style systems. But the unique selling point is definitely that Switch-inspired chassis and its breakaway controllers. You can prop up the screen portion of the device with an integrated kickstand, then slip the right-hand controller into a detachable shell and use its bottom-mounted sensor to turn it into a tiny gaming mouse. That makes the Legion Go uniquely qualified to tackle first-person shooter games. The Legion Go isn’t an automatic recommendation, especially since it has to deal with the general clunkiness that seems to be endemic to Windows-based handhelds. You might want to check out our hands-on video before you click the buy button. But if you’re ready to go, this is the best price we’ve seen yet for a new Legion Go, so get it while you can.
