Lenovo Legion Go Unveiled

The ascent of the Lenovo Legion Go continues, positioning itself assertively as a formidable contender against the Steam Deck and the Asus ROG Ally. Following the revelation of the device’s design, the spotlight now shines on its core specifications, providing a comprehensive view of what’s in store.

Given the recent release of the specification sheet, it’s hardly surprising that the Chinese manufacturer garners attention. A vivid 8.8-inch IPS Touch screen graces the device, adorned with QuadHD resolution spanning 2560 x 1600 pixels and a refresh rate of 144Hz. Moreover, this screen boasts 97% DCI-P3 coverage and radiates at an illuminating brightness of 500 nits.

Within the heart of the Lenovo Legion Go resides the prowess of an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme coupled with an AMD RDNA GPU. Accompanying this power duo is a substantial 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM clocked at an impressive 7500 MHz, accompanied by storage options of 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB via PCIe 4.0 NVME. The device is also adorned with two USB-C ports, a mini-jack socket, a microSD port, and an ample 49Wh battery, touted to support “super fast” charging.

All of these elements come together to form a portable package weighing in at 640 grams without the attached controls, or 854 grams when equipped with them. A distinguishing feature sets the Lenovo Legion Go apart: its detachable controllers, setting it apart from the static controllers of the Steam Deck and the Asus ROG Ally. Naturally, the entire experience is orchestrated by the presence of Windows 11.

Daunting Price Revelation for Lenovo Legion Go

The variant flaunting 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM is expected to fetch a price of 799 euros. Undoubtedly, the model featuring a capacious 1TB of storage will likely surpass the 1000 euro threshold.

Anticipation mounts as this portable console (or is it a gaming PC?) gears up for a potential introduction at the upcoming IFA fair, slated to unfurl its doors on Friday, September 1st.
