There's never been a better time to be interested in PC gaming on the go, because the state of gaming handhelds has never been better. And right now you can get one of the best for a sweet discount.
I say that because the Lenovo Legion Go with Ryzen Z1 Extreme is $599 at Amazon. That's a cool $100 off the usual $699 asking price, making this one of the better times of year to buy one of this killer Windows 11 gaming handheld. You could probably get it for up to $100 cheaper if you waited until the end-of-year sales blitz, but there's no guarantee and those November sales are a long way away. So why wait?
Read through our Legion Go review and you'll see why we call it one of the best handheld gaming consoles you can buy right now: pure performance. The AMD Z1 Extreme chip and 16GB of RAM give it enough muscle to run many of the best PC games at good to great framerates on the nearly 9-inch display
Admittedly, the high resolution (2560 x 1600 pixels) feels like overkill on the small display, and running demanding games at that resolution on the Z1 Extreme can be dicey, so I recommend you lower the resolution of games and use upscaling tech when possible to get the smoothest gaming experience on this killer handheld.
Sure, it's a bit big compared to some other handhelds, but you get a sturdier kickstand than on the Nintendo Switch and two detachable controllers on the sides for comfort and ergonomics. You can even put one of the sticks into an included base and use it as a mouse, which can come in handy when you're just navigating Windows 11 on this handheld.
In fact, you could conceivably use it as a full-blown laptop and not just a gaming handheld if you were willing to plug in a keyboard and use a USB-C to HDMI adapter to hook it up to an external monitor. It's a versatile little gaming handheld, and right now's a great time pick one up for $100 off — money you could save or re-invest in some more games to play, if you hurry!
