Legion Go specifications

Before you invest any amount in a product, it is best to know what you're getting. We've put together a table that showcases Legion Go's specifications.

So, the Legion Go isn't messing around when it comes to specifications. It has decent hardware under the hood that lets you play a wide variety of games. Like handhelds such as the ROG Ally, it is based on Windows – an OS that offers the best compatibility with games.

The LCD screen might be a deal breaker for those expecting an OLED panel, but IPS is also a good option and offers a good balance of colors. On top of that, the AMD CPU has solid clock speeds, and the RDNA 3 GPU should ensure that games run well even with its above-average (for a handheld) 1600p resolution (2560 x 1600).

The good news is that you can use the custom TDP settings to make a profile that best fits your needs. For example, if you feel you could work with less battery time or play with the charger connected, you can ramp up the TDP and give the CPU and GPU full power, resulting in better performance.

However, if you're traveling and want the best battery life, tuning the TDP down a notch could help with that, though the CPU and GPU performance might suffer as a result.

Why should you get this deal? 

Handheld gaming devices are perfect to take with you on the go and offer decent specifications to ensure a solid gaming experience. So, for anyone looking to get a handheld gaming device, this deal should be an excellent start. You're saving money while getting a device compatible with popular titles such as Mortal Kombat 1, Red Dead Redemption 2, Apex Legends, and even recently released titles like Black Myth: Wukong.
