Lenovo Legion Go
Specifications
At the heart of the Lenovo Legion Go is the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, featuring AMD RNDA Graphics and intelligent power management technology. Running on Windows 11, this gaming powerhouse delivers console-level graphics performance, breathing life into games on its substantial 8.8-inch QHD+ 16:10 Lenovo PureSight gaming display. This display offers a remarkable 500nits brightness and a wide 97% DCI-P3 colour gamut. Gamers can customize it to their playstyle and environment, supporting resolutions ranging from 1600p to 800p, along with both 144Hz and 60Hz refresh rates. The 10-point touchscreen provides a natural and intuitive gaming experience, allowing for seamless scrolling, tapping, and swiping. Under the hood, the Legion Go boasts up to 16GB of LPDDR5X (7500MHz) RAM, offering flexible power management to ensure optimal gaming performance and faster loading times, adapting to various scenarios. Storage options include up to 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD and a micro-SD slot that can accommodate an additional 2TB of storage for all your gaming needs.
Battery
To support this gaming prowess, the Lenovo Legion Go features a robust 49.2Wh capacity battery, ensuring extended gaming sessions without the constant need for recharging. Furthermore, it supports Super Rapid Charge, allowing the battery to reach a 70% charge in just 30 minutes. When gaming while plugged in, a power bypass mode safeguards the battery from excessive wear and heat generation during charging. The Lenovo Legion Go incorporates the Coldfront thermal technology, equipped with a 79-blade fan made of liquid crystal polymer. This fan keeps the device cool while operating quietly at less than 25dB in Quiet Mode. It can also deliver a full 25W of TGP in Custom Mode, ensuring optimal performance during extended gaming sessions without thermal throttling.
Features
The Lenovo Legion Go’s controllers feature hall effect joysticks, eliminating joystick drift and minimizing dead zones for maximum responsiveness and accuracy during intense gaming sessions. Additional inputs include an integrated trackpad, a spacious D-pad, an angled mouse wheel, and a total of 10 mappable shoulder buttons, triggers, and grip buttons. RGB lighting accents the power button, adorned with the iconic Lenovo Legion ‘O,’ which changes colours to indicate the user-selected fan mode. Customizable RGB rings around the joysticks not only add flair but also serve as a notification system for controller pairing. What’s more, the Legion Go’s Legion TrueStrike controllers are detachable, offering flexibility in playstyles and enabling FPS mode for spontaneous FPS gaming sessions. In FPS mode, the controllers can be detached from the Legion Go, with the right controller placed into an included controller base via a magnet. This setup allows for more precise aiming and control, akin to using a mouse.
