A few weeks ago, we started to hear that Lenovo was preparing its own Windows-based handheld gaming device, similar to the ROG Ally. Today, Lenovo made this official, announcing the Legion Go, equipped with a Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor for $699.
The Legion Go will ship with Windows 11, enabling greater compatibility with PC games compared to the Steam Deck. While most games can run on the Deck using Proton, some titles, like Destiny 2, remain inaccessible. By using Windows instead, this issue is eliminated. The handheld will ship with an 8.8-inch 2560×1600, 144Hz display and will be powered by AMD's Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, which was developed for handheld gaming devices just like this. Other specs include 16GB of RAM and up to a 1TB SSD.
