Lenovo Legion Go Windows Handheld Gets $150 Discount At Amazon
If you're looking for a handheld gaming PC during Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon has Lenovo's impressive 8.8-inch Legion Go for its lowest price yet
The Lenovo Legion Go is one of the best Steam Deck alternatives, especially if you want a lot of screen real estate. With an 8.8-inch WQXGA display (2560 x 1600 resolution), the Legion Go offers a more spacious viewing experience than most gaming handhelds. It also boasts fairly robust specs and an ergonomic design that makes the large handheld comfortable to hold. It starts at $700, but during Prime Big Deal Days you can grab the Lenovo Legion Go for only $550 at Amazon. This is the lowest price yet for the Legion Go, so it's definitely worth a closer look if you're in the market for a Windows gaming handheld.
The Legion Go is equipped with an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, Radeon 700M Series GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a huge 8.8-inch display that supports a 144Hz refresh rate. Lenovo's proprietary Legion Space software serves as a console-like hub for your games from each launcher.
Similar to the Nintendo Switch, it has detachable controllers and a kickstand for tabletop mode. Each of the detachable controllers has a pair of back buttons and there's also a mouse scroll wheel. The right controller has a trackpad, too.
The Legion Go's battery life isn't great, as it only lasts upwards of a few hours on a full charge. Granted, handheld Windows PCs tend to lose their charge quickly in general. Though not ideal, the Legion Go does have a rapid charging feature that allows you to refuel to 70% in around 30 minutes.
It has a pair of USB-C 4.0 ports, a microSD card slot to expand your storage, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Overall, the Legion Go is a well-rounded device--and if you're looking for a handheld with Windows that offers broader access to PC games than Steam Deck, it's certainly worth a look--especially if you really want a larger screen.
See at AmazonAs for the increasingly popular Steam Deck, the 512GB and 1TB OLED models are $549 and $649, respectively--putting it in a comparable price tier to the Legion Go. Remember that you'll need to do some tinkering to gain access to third-party platforms like the Epic Games Store, and though you can use cloud streaming for Game Pass on Steam Deck, a Windows handheld is the better option if you're looking for native Game Pass support and online multiplayer for some popular games such as Destiny 2.
