Buying decision

Should you buy it?

Buy the original Legion Go only at a discount if you want the biggest handheld screen and detachable controllers: reviewers liked its bright 8.8-inch QHD 144Hz display, sturdy kickstand, two USB-C ports and steady performance in many AAA games. Skip it if you travel with your handheld, because it's bulky and heavy. Reviewers found Lenovo's software buggy, the FPS mouse mode clunky, and the high resolution rarely worth it for gaming.
