The Lenovo Legion Go handheld gaming PC is a nice alternative for those looking for a machine that doubles as a full-fledged computer, and you can get one for $499.99 shipped today, originally $699.99. This machine packs an 8.8-inch QHD+ (2560 x 1600) IPS touchscreen with a 144Hz refresh rate, dwarfing the 7-inch panels on competitors like the Steam Deck and ASUS ROG Ally. Product page.

Powering this beast is the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, the same chip that fuels the ASUS ROG Ally, but the Legion Go pairs it with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB of NVMe SSD storage. This isn’t a walled garden like the Switch 2—it’s a full Windows 11 PC, meaning you can run Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox Game Pass, or even productivity apps like Microsoft Office.
At 1.88 pounds, it’s heavier than the Switch 2, but the detachable TrueStrike controllers—Lenovo’s take on Joy-Cons—offer unmatched versatility. Pop them off, and the right controller doubles as a mouse with a built-in touchpad and scroll wheel, making Windows navigation a breeze.
I love this device, it’s perfect for my use case! My children are often using the livingroom TV, and my wife is often on the PlayStation in our room, so having something that’s portable without having to sacrifice graphical quality is amazing! I’ve been able to run most everything I’ve tried at Ultra-presets without too much trouble,” said one reviewer.
