Exclusive Images: This is the Lenovo Legion Go Gaming Handheld
windowsreport.com
Lenovo is working on a new handheld gaming console to go up against Steam Deck and Rog Ally, and we've got exclusive images with it!

Interesting. Similar to the ONEXPLAYER 2 and 2 Pro, with the 8inch screen and detachable controllers. So many buttons! I wonder if the detachable controllers works as is or if you need a controller dock like the OXP2.

      Is the ROG Ally dead in the water? It seems to be gaining some traction. I don’t think it’s going to overtake the Steam Deck or anything, but it satisfies that customer who wants a little extra power, resolution, and compatibility.

        How much more fps do you see on the ROG Ally with the unit not blasting the fans and having 30 min battery? Curious for real.

    I bet that is Microsoft getting scared, that the Steam Deck is taking it’s market share and paying Lenovo etc. to make Windows handhelds.

    The UX will never be as good as the Steam Deck though since Windows just isn’t made for that

      You get used to it though. You can also set your launcher of choice to run on startup or use something like playnite and use which ever store is cheapest for any given game.

        There is no amount of money you could pay me to get used to Windows Updates.

        You get used to having a long drive to work as well. But who wants to get used to that if you don’t have to. Same reasoning applies here. SteamOS is so, so good. Why would I want to switch to something with performance leaks? To play competitive FPS games on my handheld? That’s not why I have one (plus I could get windows on an external sd if I really wanted to).

        I’m close to making a full on swap from windows to Linux. I just need to research in home game streaming first since I often sit on my laptop downstairs playing a game that runs on my gaming pc through Parsec.

    Detachable controllers is something I miss on the Steam Deck. At the same time, I don’t feel like having Windows on it, I have Linux on everything, including my phone, so unless SteamOS is officially supported, I won’t buy. Valve should hurry and release SteamOS as an installable image.
