AH Real Deal: Lenovo's Legion Go 1TB is down to $550

There’s never been a better time to get into a handheld gaming PC, and that’s all the more true with Best Buy’s Cyber Monday sale because the 1TB model of the Lenovo Legion Go is on sale for $200 off.

If you had to pay the full price for this handheld, you’d be looking at $749.99. However, Best Buy has discounted it for Cyber Monday and that means you can pick it up for $549.99. This is a Cyber Monday-only deal, and Best Buy says it ends by midnight. So if you have been in the market handheld gaming PC, consider this in addition to other options. The ASUS ROG Ally X for example, is also currently on sale for Cyber Monday.

What makes the Lenovo Legion Go so special compared to other handhelds is its removable controllers. These attach and detach very similar to the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers. The right controller for the Legion Go also comes with a desk mount that turns it into a vertical mouse. If you play a lot of first-person or third-person shooter games, then this feature is pretty awesome.

There’s a sensor on the bottom of the right controller that moves your weapon cursor around just like a mouse would. Alleviating any need to aim with the right thumbstick. The Legion Go also has a large 8.8-inch display. Most of the other handhelds have displays that are 7 inches and under. So there’s a nice advantage with the display size here. The display also has a 144Hz refresh rate, and it has 16GB of RAM, while being powered by the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme chipset.

Performance-wise, you can expect it to work like the ROG Ally and ROG Ally X. There are also a few remappable buttons, as well a few ports for charging, headphones, and the microSD card slot.
