Reviews for the Lenovo Legion Go
The Lenovo Legion Go is a different kind of detachable. Instead of removing the keyboard, on this device, you simply take off both of its controllers—turning the gaming handheld into a tablet. Its FPS mode is particularly interesting, which transforms the controllers into a mouse and keyboard. Unfortunately, not everything ran smoothly in our test.

The Lenovo Legion Go is the latest in the PC handheld market trend, following Valve’s Steam Deck and the Asus ROG Ally. Though my expectations were suitably tempered, getting to fully test out the portable gaming machine has convinced me of its superiority compared to ROG Ally and even compared to the gold-standard Steam Deck. At first glance, it’s almost laughably large and weighs far more than its competition. Normally this would mean that its portability is shot, but Lenovo was ingenious in this regard and included a built-in kickstand right in the back. It’s a simple feature but absolutely game-changing, as it allows for long sessions without suffering fatigue from having to hold it.

I think the Legion Go is a step up in the realm of portable PC gaming handhelds that have come out earlier. But I also believe cracking this space is not easy. Not because the Nintendo Switch is a formidable force (with the new one coming in 2025), but because the challenge is always to shrink down a gaming PC into something as small as a Legion Go. I can see Lenovo has tried very hard to make a compelling handheld PC gaming device, but there are factors that hold it back. That being said, the Legion Go is the finest Windows-based portable game console, despite some trade-offs. Personally, though, I feel Lenovo has a lot of good ideas for a future version of the Go, and one can already see that in the form of FPS mode, trackpad, and detachable controllers.

The Lenovo Legion Go's only two official competitors in the Indian market are the Asus ROG Ally and the MSI Claw. As we saw in our Asus ROG Ally review, the Legion Go performs similarly in both gaming and other scenarios. It's only slightly better when it comes to higher fps in games. We've not tried the MSI Claw, but I don't expect it to perform better than the Lenovo. Lenovo's Legion Go shines thanks to its brilliant display and good performance despite offering too many buttons on its controllers. It's also very large, and even larger when you place it inside its case. You'd need a whole backpack to carry the thing around. You can instead use that backpack to carry a decent-spec gaming laptop, which should be easily available at Rs. 89,990.

That being said we really feel like you get the most bang for your buck from the Lenovo Legion Go. As mentioned the ability to turn into a tablet is a great bit of versatility and, while FPS Mode isn’t for us, it is a decent stand-in for a mouse if you don’t have one on hand. The Legion Go can also be used more like a laptop if you don’t mind packing in some wireless accessories – it does this better than the competitors thanks to the fact that you can detach the controllers making it more streamline. We enjoyed our time with the Legion Go and we were definitely sad to pack it up and send it back to the manufacturer. We have to applaud Lenovo for taking so many risks and packing in so many features, even if some of them didn’t pan out. If you’re looking for the specific features this special handheld has to offer, it may be worth jumping in. For everyone else, keep an eye on Lenovo as future iterations could be gamechangers.

I’m really impressed with the Lenovo Legion Go Legion Go. It’s a lot of fun to play and handles just about anything you throw at it. I’ve taken it on short trips, plane rides, and all around my house easily. It’s bigger than my son’s Switch, but you get significantly more screen and screen quality!

Ultimately, I don’t think I’d pick the Legion Go if I were in the market for a gaming handheld right now. A handheld makes sense to me as a companion to a primary gaming device like a desktop PC or console. It’s ideal for playing games when I can’t or don’t want to use that primary gaming device. Frankly, the Legion Go has too high a cost to fit comfortably in that companion position for me.

All in all, Lenovo deserves praise for trying to differentiate the Legion Go in the Windows-based gaming handheld space, but I think there are a couple of fundamental areas it needs to improve on to outdo its main rivals – such as its gaming performance. I won’t go as far to say it’s the PC gaming handheld for everyone, but I like that its larger display and versatile, detachable controllers, offer a different experience to whatever else is available right now – and that’s a good thing in a soon-to-be crowded space.

I cannot recommend the Lenovo Legion Go over other handheld gaming PCs, especially the Steam Deck OLED. While the Legion Go has some truly redeeming qualities like a vibrant display, satisfying controller inputs, and welcome connectivity options, its stunted performance holds it back in a big way. If you're not a fan of Valve, and you want something a little bigger than the ROG Ally, the Legion Go is fit for cloud gaming and less graphically-intensive titles. That said, you have better options in the handheld gaming PC space, especially for the asking price of $650.

As you can see, I have a mixed bag of feelings towards the Legion Go. Compared with the ROG Ally (see our review here), the bigger display size and longer battery life are big wins, alongside the innovative Legion Glasses for gaming immersion (but it's a separate accessory for RM1819). On the other hand, the FPS Mode is just flat-out disappointing because you have to set all the key mapping by yourself, which can be time-consuming. Windows 11 optimisation is still not there, but you can pretty much solve some issues after adjusting the game settings. The Legion Go and ROG Ally are very similar in many aspects. But it's hard to recommend the former because of its RM3999 price tag. The ROG Ally Z1 Extreme only costs RM3299, so you do the math.

I wouldn’t buy a Legion Go, as my Steam Deck suits me better, but I genuinely think Lenovo’s onto something with this form factor. It’s an intriguing cross between a Microsoft Surface and a Nintendo Switch but with gaming chops that surpass both. I wouldn’t be surprised if the next version comes with an optional Surface-like folding keyboard cover.

Right now, the Legion Go has some unique advantages compared to the competition. The display has a nice 16:10 aspect ratio where all the competitors are 16:9, and the display is bigger than that of the Steam Deck OLED, ASUS ROG Ally, and even the MSI Claw. It also beats out all the Indiegogo darlings from the likes of Ayaneo and AYNTec. It's big, it's colorful, and the 144Hz refresh rate is faster than the rest. In addition, the removable controllers are a big plus, allowing gamers to set the system on a table and use those detachable controllers as a keyboard and mouse. No other handheld does anything quite like that. There are some downsides to the Legion Go, however. For starters, the experience on Windows is not great. This is something that even Microsoft itself admits needs to be better, and we hope the company is serious about improving the experience. Lenovo did all it could with Legion Space and its unified UI for game libraries, settings, and storefronts, but the Steam Deck just flat-out gets it right

The Lenovo Legion Go seems like an intriguing gadget for the arsenal of the modern gamer, where mobility is key. It boasts a well-thought-out design that allows the station to be used in various ways: in its assembled form, with controllers removed, in FPS mode, or connected to additional accessories and a monitor. Moreover, the assembled device is excellent. It's impossible not to mention the quality and size of the screen, which surpasses that of the main competitors, as well as the cool Legion Space service, which serves as a convenient hub for gaming (whether local or cloud-based) and consolidates the most essential settings in one place.

The Lenovo Legion Go is a snappy gaming console that is full of features. The hardware is powerful for that kind of form factor. The optional 8-core AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme and its iGPU are potent enough for light gaming. You can play titles such as CS:GO, Dota 2, Team Fortress 2, etc with bumped visuals and good FPS. On the other hand, the high-res display is a challenge for the SoC if you want to have fun with more demanding games such as Far Cry 6 where you have to drop the resolution to 1080p and lower the details to achieve acceptable FPS. The overall gaming performance of this Lenovo handheld is almost the same or a bit higher (with a few exceptions here and there) compared to the ASUS ROG Ally (2023) no matter the fact that the latter can maintain higher CPU clocks.

The Lenovo Legion Go is both enjoyable and frustrating to use in equal measure. The performance is largely comparable with the Asus ROG Ally, but it fails to truly take advantage of its QHD panel. The big display is inviting and the detachable controllers offer a fun flexibility, but the latter’s implementation is clunky, as is utilising Lenovo’s software.

While you won’t necessarily be playing Alan Wake 2 at Ultra settings, the Lenovo Legion Go is a portable gaming powerhouse that can make many recent games shine. And despite the odd niggle with controls and software, its innovative ‘Switch-but-with-a-mouse’ format makes it a master for a range of gaming genres.

The Lenovo Legion Go starts from £699/$699. It’s available from Lenovo, Amazon and Currys in the UK, and Lenovo, Walmart and Best Buy in the US. Like the ROG Ally, the Legion Go has an impressive build and it’s remarkable that it costs as little as it does. It’s a full-fledged mini PC with the capacity for both productivity and budget gaming that you can also play on while lying on the couch, or for gaming sessions on the go. That said, these are short sessions, as the battery won’t last more than a couple of hours. Lenovo raises the bar a bit from what the ROG Ally delivers, with a better screen and very versatile controls, but that leads to frustration and headaches as much as opportunities. A lot of user feedback and interface updates are needed before it’s perfected, and I think Lenovo could have done more of that internally first before releasing this console. Not all of the hardware is top notch either – I’m not impressed with the relatively weak sound, for example.

The Legion Go is a very capable handheld and is a worthy rival to the Asus Ally. In a few ways it is superior, like the QHD resolution and larger sized screen. I also like the buttons and inputs selection, as well as the performance. It's quite hefty and heavy, though, for what it is, and battery life isn't great either. I'll keep updating the review as I get to use this for longer over the next months.

I don’t really know. It’s extremely good at what it does given the current technological constraints. But it does what it does with such a size and weight that I don’t think it’s really going to work as a handheld PC gaming solution for most people who are in the market for one. PC makers are still working out what people want from these kinds of devices, and this is obviously a first-generation device. I want it to do well because the Lenovo Legion Go has excellent bones, the ideas are all there. I just don’t know who it’s for. If you’ve read all this, and then go into a store and discover that you like the way it feels and the size and weight aren’t a problem for your uses, then I guess the Lenovo Legion Go is for you. If it was a bit smaller and lighter it would absolutely be for me.

Reviewing the Lenovo Legion Go handheld console, including an unboxing and full gaming experience. I've tested a LOT of Windows handheld gamers as we hit 2024 and the Lenovo Legion Go sure has some impressive features. However, it's not quite the best out there for battery performance, while the Steam Deck OLED boasts slicker software and a more gorgeous display. Positives include that sharp 144Hz panel (even if it's not OLED) and the FPS mode, which is well suited to precision shooting. The Lenovo Legion Go performs well when plugged in too, although it's bigger than the ROG Ally, Steam Deck and most other rivals. Windows 11 is as borky as usual, while the Legion Space software can also have its moments. The Legion Go isn't exactly super portable either, because of its size as well as its short battery life. For gaming on the go I'd recommend the Switch, or even that Steam Deck OLED.

For those among you looking to be an early adopter of the Legion Go, though, none of the flaws issues that I’ve addressed in this review stops it from being an eye-opener and party piece, be it within the walls of a multi-purpose hall at university, a pretentious cafe that you go to drink expensive artisanal coffee, or if you’re paying tribute to the porcelain throne. Just make sure you’re next to a wallplug and you have a charging adapter capable of outputting 65W, or high output powerbank if you intend to be on it longer than a couple of hours.

The Lenovo Legion Go is a powerful and versatile handheld gaming device. It is a good option for PC gamers who want a device to run their favorite games on the go. The Switch may be more portable, but the Legion Go is more potent. When you compare it against its direct rivals, the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally, overall, it is the best handheld gamer in my opinion, mostly thanks to Legion Space launcher, which I find to be super intuitive and user-friendly. Would I like to see better test results and less tweaking? Absolutely, am I going to shame the Legion Go for this, no! I am too busy gaming with it to write up such nonsense. The base model starts at $699 and the high end at $749, which are more affordable than most gaming laptops, which are not as portable.

If the battle of the handheld gaming PCs was decided on features and specs alone, the Legion Go would take the crown. Running Windows rather than Linux makes it more open out of the box than the Steam Deck, while its 144Hz 1600p display and detachable controllers in theory give it an edge over the ROG Ally. But when it comes to actually using one every day, I’m not sure I’d recommend it over either of those devices – unless you’re a serious FPS player who refuses to play without mouse controls. That display, glorious though it is, is something you’ll rarely be able to take full advantage of unless you want most of your games to look like they’re moving through treacle. The size and weight of the thing also makes the Steam Deck feel like a Game Boy.

During my briefing with Lenovo, it was quickly brought up that the Legion Go ran full-on Windows 11, which means you can bypass the custom Legion Space experience and use it like a miniature laptop. There's full support for Bluetooth keyboards (because, of course, there is), and you can use one of the controllers as a mouse. When you're done, the device morphs back into a Steam Deck alternative, complete with access to many of your favorite games.

The Legion Go is an interesting take on a handheld gaming PC. With its kickstand and detachable controllers, it’s appropriated the adaptability that Nintendo introduced on the Switch. But Lenovo took things further with a built-in touchpad and a clever FPS mode that makes the system easier to use as a PC. And capping things off is a gorgeous 8.8-inch OLED display that makes the Legion Go’s potent performance shine. On the flipside, its bulk feels like it’s pushing the definition of a handheld device. Any bigger and you might as well carry around a thin-and-light gaming laptop and a dedicated controller. And while Lenovo’s beta software addresses some of the performance hangups I ran into, the Legion Go isn’t going to reach its full potential until its software is properly optimized, which might not happen for another month or two.

The Lenovo Legion Go differs from other Windows 11-based handhelds thanks to a larger display and detachable controllers. And at $699 to start, it’s a direct competitor to the Asus ROG Ally, which lacks the former’s distinctive features. Though I appreciate Lenovo’s efforts with the Legion Go, it doesn’t deliver the seamless experience I look for in a handheld. Doing anything outside of the Legion Space launcher is clumsy since most Windows programs don’t recognize button inputs. While the Legion Go’s performance is comparable to the ROG Ally, neither provides a massive leap over Steam Deck unless you lower the resolution to 720p — which makes games look atrocious on the 8.8-inch display. And while (trying) to use the right controller as a pseudo mouse is interesting, it doesn’t function all that well. For most people, the Steam Deck OLED is the better option over the Lenovo Legion Go.

If you made it this far, that was quite the lengthy review (thanks for hanging in there!), and for good reason, as there is a lot to digest with the Lenovo Legion Go. As I just mentioned, it’s not perfect out of the gate, but will only get better with updates down the road. However, if you’re looking for a handheld gaming device, it has a lot going for it. The most obvious is the large screen size, albeit overkill on the resolution based on the performance. Speaking of performance, it does well enough depending on the settings you have and whether you are playing a locally installed game or using Xbox Cloud Gaming or another streaming service. The same goes with battery life. With Hall Effect joysticks, joystick drift won’t be an issue and the FPS mode, while seeming a bit novel, does work well if you couple it with a keyboard. At the end of the day, the Lenovo Legion Go gaming handheld is off to a solid start.

The Lenovo Legion Go is an excellent concept of a device and has all the pieces to be the best on the market. On paper, it certainly gives the ROG Ally a run for its money, packing detachable controllers, a bigger display, and even coming with a carrying case in the box. Its FPS mode is something that no other gaming handheld can do right now, and it feels like Lenovo understands the limitations of gaming handhelds. Having said that, in its current state, the Legion Go is a difficult device to recommend. It's good in a bubble, but having used all of the other major gaming handhelds on the market right now, it's definitively below the rest and only succeeds in a performance profile that even the Steam Deck can.

Like the Asus ROG Ally, the Lenovo Legion Go is a fine alternative to the Steam Deck with access to full Windows, and it's a real winner for those who might prefer more of everything. While the bigger screen is welcome, the additional bulk and weight of the machine is sure to cause fatigue after long game sessions. Plus, tapping into the screen's sharper resolution is often not worth the frame-rate drops. At that point, for full-HD gaming sessions, we prefer the more comfortable ROG Ally, thanks to its lighter build. The Go is not without its merits, and as upscaling technology improves across AMD’s chips, we’re sure to see the shelf life of these machines extend beyond a couple of years. With that, we look forward to a revision from Lenovo if the demand for handheld gaming PCs holds or grows. It may not be a Steam Deck killer or even an Ally killer, but it’s a fine choice for mobile PC gaming if you're set on higher resolutions or unique features.

Lenovo’s handheld gaming PC boasts detachable controllers, an 8.8” QHD+ display and the same AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme CPU with RDNA 3 integrated graphics as the competing Asus ROG Ally. This is a Windows 11 device that can run any Windows emulator or game client you like, and even turn into a tablet or tiny desktop PC. It has a built-in kickstand, mouse emulation for the right joystick and a case is included. It also competes with the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch as well as Windows gaming handhelds like those from OneXPlayer, GPD and Ayaneo.
