Lenovo Legion Go Hits Record Low Price of $473 for Black Friday Sale

This Black Friday, some of the most powerful AMD Z1 Extreme handhelds have hit their lowest prices yet, and one of the most striking deals involves the Lenovo Legion Go, which is now just $472.97 after a whopping $227 price cut. This undercuts both the Steam Deck OLED and the Asus ROG Ally X, even with the ongoing Black Friday discounts. While the Asus ROG Ally X offers only slight performance improvements over other Z1 Extreme-based handhelds like the Lenovo Legion Go and Asus ROG Ally, the Legion Go stands out with its spacious 8.8-inch display and detachable controllers, reminiscent of the Nintendo Switch.

For its price, the Legion Go ranks among the top gaming PC handhelds you can find right now. While Z1 Extreme/Ryzen 7840U/Ryzen 8840U handhelds do demand a powerful outlet or battery bank to outperform devices like the Deck and Deck OLED, having such performance is invaluable, especially if you intend to use the handheld for gaming at home as well.

It’s hard to overemphasize the value of the Lenovo Legion Go at this price point, although it’s worth acknowledging a few potential drawbacks for a balanced perspective.

Firstly, if you’re without a desktop at home and are looking to use an external GPU docking solution, options like the Ally Extreme or Ally X might serve you better, given their superior eGPU support. While the Legion Go’s dual USB4 capability is appreciated, it falls short compared to solutions like OCuLink or Asus’ unique eGPU connector, meaning that high-end GPUs could face connection limitations.

Secondly, the Legion Go features an IPS screen instead of OLED. However, since OLED hasn’t become the standard across handhelds yet, this is more of an alternative choice than a disadvantage. Although the Steam Deck OLED offers improved contrast, the IPS screens still deliver impressive visuals—with an advantage in screen size, measuring 8.8 inches compared to the Deck OLED’s 7.4 inches, and showcasing a sharper resolution and higher refresh rate (1080p 144Hz versus 800p 90Hz). For gamers who crave a more extensive screen and immersive gameplay, the Legion Go might be the perfect choice.
