The Lenovo Legion Go is different from rival handheld gaming PCs thanks to having detachable controllers like the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. While the Legion Go S drops the detachable controller design, the Legion Go 2 prototype, showcased at CES 2025 earlier this year, also has detachable controllers, albeit more refined. Now, two Chinese handheld gaming PCs have copied the Legion Go's design but with an interesting change.
The Crelander and NWNLAP handheld gaming PCs are the same device but rebadged by different brands. Sporting a design clearly inspired by the Legion Go, the handheld gaming PC differs from Lenovo's handheld with its humongous screen. Unlike the Legion Go (curr. available on Amazon for $602) which has an 8.8-inch 2560 x 1600 144Hz display, this has a 10.5-inch 1920 x 1080 60Hz display. And rather than have the controllers match the size of the tablet, that isn't the case as they are much smaller in comparison to the display.
The Crelander/NWNLAP handheld gaming PC isn't a 1:1 clone of the Legion Go as the images show. For starters, the right controller lacks a touchpad but has two buttons below the thumbstick. There are also speaker grilles at the bottom while the top is home to a single USB-C port, a full-sized USB port, an audio jack, a mini HDMI port, a MicroSD card slot, and a DC power input port. The device also has a different-styled kickstand.
Another interesting feature of the handheld gaming PC is its internals. While the Lenovo Legion Go is powered by AMD's Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, this handheld PC is powered by Intel's 12th Gen N95 Alder Lake-N processor with Intel UHD graphics paired with up to 32GB of RAM and up to 2TB of M.2-2280 SSD storage. It also has Bluetooth 4.2, a 5,000mAh battery, and support for 60W charging.
Pricing for the NWNLAP handheld gaming PC starts at $295.36 for the base model with 16GB of RAM and 128GB of storage and goes up to $486.59 for the 32GB RAM + 2TB SSD variant. The Crelandaer variant starts at $293.22 for the base model which has 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD while the max configuration with 32GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD is priced at $430.57. Both are available to buy on AliExpress.
