Lenovo Legion Go is a new powerful handheld gaming device

Lenovo's Legion Go, a rival in the Windows mobile gaming market, is now official. An 8.8-inch LCD with QHD+ (1,600 x 2,560px) resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate is included in this gaming powerhouse. The touchscreen display supports resolutions ranging from 1600p to 800p, has a 16:10 aspect ratio, a maximum brightness of 500 nits, and can lower the refresh rate to 60Hz for improved battery management.

Lenovo equipped the Legion Go with removable Legion TrueStrike controllers and a kickstand, taking design cues from the Nintendo Switch. The controllers have 10 re-mappable shoulder triggers, a touchpad, Hall effect joysticks, and a scroll wheel, among other buttons.

Lenovo even went one step further and included a base module for the controller that attaches to the right controller using magnets and enables you to prop the controller up and use it as a mouse. Like a genuine mouse, the right controller features an optical sensor at the bottom.

Lenovo used AMD's Ryzen Z1 family chipsets, which are configurable all the way up to a Z1 Extreme. RDNA 3 graphics provides coverage for the GPU side. Legion Go is configurable with up to 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD and you also get a microSD card slot that supports up to 2TB extra storage. All models come with 16GB LPDDR5x RAM running at 7,500 MHz.

The cooling is taken care of by a separate thermal cooling system that uses a liquid polymer blade fan that can operate in Custom Mode at 25W of TGP and maxes out at 25dB. Two USB-Type C ports (USB 4.0, DisplayPort 1.4, Power Delivery 3.0), a microSD card slot, and a 3.5mm audio connector are included in the I/O department. Additionally, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 are features of the Legion Go.

Windows 11 Home with a unique overlay dubbed Legion Space covers the software side. Here, all of your games and launchers are stored, and each Legion Go portable comes with a complimentary three-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership from Lenovo.

Legion Go has a two-cell, 49.2Wh battery that enables rapid charging and promises to charge from 0% to 70% in 30 minutes. When gaming while plugged in, Legion Go also offers power bypass mode, which helps the battery last longer. It comes with a 65W PD charger from Lenovo.

The basic variant of the Lenovo Legion Go will cost $699/€799 and go on sale in November.
