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.
