Lenovo has recently announced their Steam Deck and the ASUS ROG Ally competitor and it’s called the Lenovo Legion Go. Unlike any other handhelds out there in the market, the Legion Go has a lot of features including a large 8.8-inch display with QHD+ resolution and 144Hz refresh rate, a detachable controllers that can also be used as a mouse, and of course, a powerful hardware inside.

The display of the Legion Go is definitely one of the sharpest out there on Windows Handhelds as it comes with a large 8.8-inch QHD+ display which can also give you a better contrast and crispiness.
My personal favorite with the Lenovo Legion Go is the detachable controllers called TrueStrike controllers. You can dock it to the kickstand and then use the controller as a mouse which makes it perfect for FPS games including Call of Duty and Valorant.
There’s a slightly bigger battery too at 49.2Wh and the TGP can go as high as 25W which is on the same level as the ROG Ally but do expect the same battery life on this one. Other cool features from the Legion Go includes a kickstand at the back so you can play anywhere similar to the Nintendo Switch
The Legion Go is expected to come out soon with a starting price of $699
