This Black Friday, AMD Z1 Extreme handhelds have hit rock-bottom prices, with a standout offer that drops the Lenovo Legion Go down by an impressive $227. Now available for just $472.97, this price tag puts it below the cost of the Steam Deck OLED and way under what you’d pay for an Asus ROG Ally X, even with all the Black Friday deals we’re seeing. The Asus ROG Ally X might edge out slightly in performance, but when you stack it against other Z1 Extreme-based devices like the Legion Go and Asus ROG Ally, the differences are minimal. The Legion Go pulls ahead with its expansive 8.8-inch screen and detachable controllers, reminiscent of a Nintendo Switch.
At this price, the Legion Go stands as one of the top choices for a gaming PC handheld. While the Z1 Extreme/Ryzen 7840U/Ryzen 8840U models do need a powerful outlet or a robust battery pack to truly outperform the Deck and Deck OLED, having that level of performance available is a definite plus, particularly if you envision doing some gaming at home as well.
The jump in value with the Lenovo Legion Go at this price can’t be overstated, though it’s worth acknowledging a few drawbacks for the sake of fairness.
First off, if you’re without a desktop and are planning to use an external GPU docking solution, you might want to consider the Ally Extreme or Ally X, which offer better eGPU support. The Legion Go does come with dual USB4, which is handy, but it can’t compete with the likes of OCuLink or Asus’ proprietary eGPU connector, so you might find high-powered GPUs throttled by the connection.
Additionally, the Legion Go’s screen utilizes IPS technology rather than OLED. While OLED isn’t yet the standard across handhelds, making this more of a trade-off than a con, it’s something to note. The Steam Deck OLED does deliver richer contrast, but the IPS display, especially at 8.8 inches, offers a compelling alternative with its higher resolution and refresh rate of 1080p at 144Hz, compared to the Deck OLED’s 7.4 inches and 800p at 90 Hz. The Legion Go might just be the gadget of choice for gamers who crave more screen space and a deeply immersive experience.
