Valve’s Steam Deck has shown that even sweat geeks can take their laptop on the go. That’s why several other manufacturers have jumped on the trend, and we recently reviewed the Asus ROG Ally, a Windows 11 laptop.

Lenovo is also gearing up to take on the water with its Legion Go, which should have the advantage of being able to detach the controller from the side like the Nintendo Switch console. The end result is a powerful Windows 11 tablet with an 8.8-inch QHD+ (2560 x 1600) touchpad.
Windows Report Server hit the white papers ahead of schedule, so we know the presentation will take place on January 1st at IFA. Legion Go will go on sale in January, and the cheapest variant will cost 799 euros, which is approximately 19,300 crowns.
Judging by the disclosed characteristics, this is a portable monster: the tablet with sound control measures 299 mm, 131 mm, 41 mm and weighs 854 g. Without controls, we get 210 mm, 131 mm, 20 mm and 640 g. For comparison, the dimensions of the Steam Deck are 298 mm, 117 mm, 49 mm with a weight of 669 g.

The Legion Go outperforms the competition in almost every way, including display quality and fast memory, but the system’s Achilles’ heel: vdr. Wrath will also improve the quality and functionality of the Legion Space add-on. I doubt that in full power mode we will get to the VC in an hour and a half in two.
My colleague Ondra Martin won’t miss the IFA either, so first impressions and photos are waiting for you in a few days.
