November 7, 2025 - A lot has happened since the Lenovo Legion Go arrived on the scene. Not only is there now a fresher faced Lenovo Legion Go S on the scene with nicer controls, but there's a sequel device on the way to take on punchy newcomers like the ROG Xbox Ally X. I've added some updates below that provide some context, and they should help you decide if the 2023 handheld is still the right portable for you.
If testing the Lenovo Legion GO has taught me anything, it’s that sometimes less is more. Don’t get me wrong, I love impressive specs as much as the next handheld nerd, but this new portable PC tries too hard to impress with gimmicks arguably no one asked for. As a result, it feels more like a prototype than something ready in the wings to take on the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally, and that’s a damn shame when you consider what it’s actually capable of.
