Sure thing—let’s give this a whirl.

You ever have one of those days? You’re just minding your own business and bam, you’re in the middle of figuring out if you can afford this new gadget that’s kinda like an enigma. I’m talking about the Lenovo Legion Go. It’s not the freshest gadget on the block—no shiny wrapper or fireworks—but it packs a punch. I mean, it’s got that Z1 Extreme chip, a hearty 16GB of RAM, and a spacious 512GB SSD.
So here’s the scoop: It was going for $699.99, but out of nowhere it’s slashed down to $499.99 on Amazon. And no, it’s not one of those Prime Day hype items or whatever, but still, a $200 saving is a deal. Is it the lowest price ever? Nah, it beat this by $17 at one point. Still, the price drop now pulls it below the cheaper—but sort of weak—Legion Go S, which is anchored at a wild $589.99.
This thing, the Legion Go, really pulls ahead with its 8.8-inch display. Imagine that. Huge compared to others like the Asus Ally ROG X. If you’re like me and care more about getting lost in those game-world graphics than worrying about if it fits snug in your bag, this is your jam. It’s got these two USB-C ports, which is neat because, hey, charge it and plug into a TV screen or something at the same time. And you don’t even have to lug an extra controller, which is like a win-win. One of those controllers even morphs into a mouse. Wild.
Okay, sidetrack—if you’re all about graphics and that eye-candy, those USB-C ports are USB4 and do this magic dance with Thunderbolt enclosures. You can snag the console bundled with a USB-C hub. Imagine turning it into a mini gaming beast or using it as a workstation. Kind of a transformer deal, if you think about it.
Right, so you might be sitting there wondering if this is the ship to board. It’s not fresh out of the oven, but $499 for this little powerhouse isn’t a bad shout. I mean, who knows when it’ll drop again? Last time it scraped the bottom price barrel was like ages ago—December, last year maybe? So if you’re not about waiting for Santa, grabbing this now could be smart.
