Lenovo Legion Go: A Game-Changer to Wrap Up the Year
This year has undeniably been dominated by portable consoles, but not the pocket-sized models for running emulators. We’re talking about the new generation of consoles powered by AMD processors capable of running high-end games previously exclusive to bulky gaming rigs.
The landscape of gaming has undergone a massive transformation, and Lenovo didn’t want to be left behind. That’s why they introduced the Legion Go. Featuring a Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, similar to the one found in the ASUS ROG Ally, the standout feature of this console is its detachable controller system, reminiscent of the Nintendo Switch. However, these controllers have their unique touch, with one of them equipped with an optical sensor for desktop mouse functionality, offering enhanced comfort for playing shooters—a feature we’re eager to put to the test.
The model currently available on Lenovo’s website boasts a 512 GB SSD M.2 capacity, with no other versions of varying capacities available at this time. As a result, there’s only one version of the console for now, with hopes that the manufacturer might eventually release a version with a Z1 processor (minus the “Extreme”), following in ASUS’ footsteps and potentially lowering the price.
Is it Better than the Steam Deck?
In technical terms, yes. The Legion Go quickly establishes its superiority over the Steam Deck, primarily due to its use of a more advanced processor. However, the ultimate gaming experience is another story, as the Steam Deck has optimized its gaming performance and won over users with its beloved operating system.
Moreover, the Legion Go boasts an impressive 8.8-inch screen with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 pixels, delivering 500 nits of brightness and a maximum refresh rate of 144 Hz.
