Last month, Lenovo introduced their own computer gaming console, called the Lenovo Legion Go. It comes with a device design that resembles a combination of ASUS ROG Ally and Nintendo Switch, introducing its own gimmick.
Lenovo Legion Go is powered by the same AMD Ryzen Z1 and Z1 Extreme processing chips used in the ASUS ROG Ally console, with 16GB of LPDDR5X memory and 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD storage. To add storage to this device, it is also equipped with a MicroSD card reader that can support up to 2TB of storage.
In terms of display, the Legion Go houses an 8.8-inch QHD+ resolution Lenovo PureSight IPS screen with a fast refresh rate of 144Hz. This display also has a brightness value of 500 nits and can process 97 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut.
The uniqueness of this Lenovo Legion Go comes in the ability of its side Legion TrueStrike controller to be removed and used wirelessly, similar to what is offered on the Nintendo Switch console. In the meantime, the analog controller part also uses a Hall Effect switch that reduces the issue of "joystick drift" and also improves the accuracy of the control device compared to the use of the usual analog controller.
Recently, it has been reported that pre-orders for the Legion Go console are already open in the United States through Lenovo's own website and Best Buy's online warehouse. So far, it has been seen that the Lenovo Legion Go will come with two storage options, namely a 512GB SSD and also a 1TB which is sold at a price of $699 (~RM3306) and $749 (~RM3540) and will officially go on sale around November 2023.
So far, it has not yet been confirmed when this Lenovo Legion Go will be offered in the Asian region, nor the local market, but our expectation is that it will arrive shortly after the official sale in the United States.
