This gorgeous gaming giant has flexibility baked right in
The Lenovo Legion Go is a bit of a gaming behemoth. At 8.8 inches, its display dwarfs the ROG Ally’s 7 inches and its tiny, almost invisible bezels mean very little comes between you and the games you’re playing. While it isn’t OLED, like that of the upgraded Steam Deck, its 2560 x 1600 resolution makes everything look super-crisp. But easily the most exciting thing about it is its 144Hz variable refresh rate: visuals in most games are smoother than a freshly buffed Zac Efron.
Of course, such a big screen coupled with all that hardware and advanced cooling comes with a trade off. This is a big device, even compared to its large rivals. However, its well-engineered ergonomics meant we never found it getting uncomfortable or unwieldy.
Performance-wise, the Legion Go effortlessly Fosbury flopped over the high expectations we had for it. That AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme CPU means it has some serious oomph behind it. This is immediately appreciable in its overall performance. Boot up in balance mode and most games look genuinely impressive by default.
Switch to Performance mode and you can ramp up those settings a lot further. In God of War, you can just about push up all of the settings to Ultra, which showed off the nine realms in all of their beauty. Although, naturally, that means accepting a trade-off in terms of refresh rates – you aren’t goin
