Lenovo Legion Go leak suggest Switch style controllers, but is that what we really need?

Lenovo Legion Go handheld with controllers detached

Another Lenovo Legion Go leak has sprung, and this time the handheld PC is posing for the camera. Shared images reveal something that looks pretty close to a Nintendo Switch in terms of design, as its controllers appear to detach. However, I’m not entirely convinced that’s what the portable scene needs right now, removable Joycon style gamepads might be a blessing and a curse.

The Legion Go is anything but short of competition, as portable gaming PCs like the Steam Deck, Asus ROG Ally, and Ayaneo 2S are already occupying the growing market. When word first emerged that Lenovo is cooking up a handheld gaming PC, I outlined why it could find success targeting the budget side of things, as there’s a distinct lack of competitors that cost under $300. Sadly, the newly leaked images imply that the Legion Go won’t be that cheap, even if it brings something unique to the table.
