Lenovo Legion Go launched to take on Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally

Lenovo has launched a new gaming device in its Legion portfolio, the Legion Go. It is a handheld device which runs on Windows 11, pretty much like the Asus ROG Ally and Steam Deck. This handheld gaming console comes with the motive of a handy device, as you can carry it along without running out of space. Not just that, the Lenovo Legion Go also packs the powerful components and a cyber design when it comes to gaming. It's like having your gaming computer with you all the time, but with less space and weight. Let’s check out the specifications.

Speaking of the design, it comes with the hall effect joysticks to prevent the joystick drift. In addition to that, it also offers a trackpad, a D-pad, a mouse wheel and all the needed buttons. Apart from that, to indicate different modes, the Legion Go comes with RGB lightning around power buttons and joysticks. One more crazy feature, which I liked from Nintendo Switch is detachable controllers, the Legion Go has that too.

The Legion Go is equipped with an 8.8-inch QHD+ display with various resolution options from 1600 to 800 pixels and two refresh rates as well such as 144Hz and 60Hz.

Talking about the performance, it is powered by an AMD Z1 Extreme processor paired with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, up to 1TB of NVMe M.2 storage, and even comes with a slot for a microSD card for the expandable storage of up to 2TB.

To cooldown the device, it uses the Coldfront thermal technology that includes a fan with 79 blades made of liquid crystal polymer. It promises to keep the gaming console cool even in the Custom Mode with high performance, and with a negligible fan voice.

Unfortunately, Lenovo has not rolled out this gaming console in India yet. However, it has launched in Europe at a price of EUR 799, approximately ₹71,000.
