Amazon has a terrific deal on Lenovo’s impressive handheld gaming PC. For a limited time, you can get the Legion Go for only $499 (was $700). The Legion Go is the ideal choice for those who want ample screen real estate with their Windows handheld. It boasts an 8.8-inch WQXGA display with 2560 x 1600 resolution. The 1600p resolution is a bit overkill for a portable PC, but there’s no denying the Legion Go offers a spacious and impressive viewing experience, even when you set the resolution lower to boost other graphical settings and preserve battery life. Amazon’s $499 price is the best yet for the Legion Go, so if it’s been on your radar, now’s a good time to grab it.

The Legion Go is equipped with an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, Radeon 700M Series GPU, 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD, and a huge 8.8-inch display that supports a 144Hz refresh rate. Lenovo’s proprietary Legion Space software serves as a console-like hub for your games from each launcher.
Similar to the Nintendo Switch, it has detachable controllers and a kickstand for tabletop mode. Each of the detachable controllers has a pair of back buttons and there’s also a mouse scroll wheel. The right controller has a trackpad, too.
The Legion Go’s battery life isn’t great, as it only lasts upwards of a few hours on a full charge. Granted, handheld Windows PCs tend to lose their charge quickly in general. Though not ideal, the Legion Go does have a rapid charging feature that allows you to refuel to 70% in around 30 minutes.
It has a pair of USB-C 4.0 ports, a microSD card slot to expand your storage, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Overall, the Legion Go is a well-rounded device–and if you’re looking for a handheld with Windows that offers broader access to PC games than Steam Deck, it’s certainly worth a look–especially if you really want a larger screen.
Lenovo Legion Go Accessories
To keep your Legion Go’s screen pristine, you’ll want to grab a screen protector. You can get a two-pack of amFilm tempered glass protectors for $9 at Amazon. If you want to add extra protection and grip to the handheld, check out this $13 grip case. For travel, ButterFox makes a spacious hardshell carrying case with room for small accessories and the power adapter.
Lastly, you’ll probably want to dock your Legion Go from time to time to play on your TV or monitor. One of the most popular Legion Go docking stations is on sale for $27 (was $40) at Amazon.
- 8-in-1 Docking Station — $27 ($40)
- Tempered Glass Screen Protectors — $9 ($12)
- Hardshell Carrying Case — $35

As for the increasingly popular Steam Deck, the 512GB and 1TB OLED models are $549 and $649, respectively–putting it in a comparable price tier to the Legion Go. Remember that you’ll need to do some tinkering to gain access to third-party platforms like the Epic Games Store, and though you can use cloud streaming for Game Pass on Steam Deck, a Windows handheld is the better option if you’re looking for native Game Pass support and online multiplayer for some popular games such as Destiny 2.
The Legion Go isn’t your only portable gaming PC option from a major manufacturer. The Best Buy-exclusive Asus ROG Ally has been the most popular Windows-based handheld since its debut last year. The ROG Ally starts at $500, though the model with the same chipset as the Legion Go retails for $650. Earlier this year, Asus released a more powerful iteration dubbed the ROG Ally X with 1TB storage space for $800. A 2TB model launches December 9 and is available to preorder for $900.
At the moment, the Legion Go offers the best bang for your buck in the Windows handheld space.
