But she has gamepads that turn off

Lenovo introduced the Legion Go portable gaming console. The device can be called a direct competitor to Asus ROG Ally and not only it, of course.

Legion Go stands out for its size and design. The gamepads here are removable, like the Nintendo Switch. As for the dimensions, they are primarily determined by the screen. It uses an 8.8-inch diagonal IPS panel with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, a frame rate of 144 Hz, and a brightness of 500 cd/ m2. On paper, this is one of the best screens in such consoles.

True, increased resolution negatively affects performance. The resolution, of course, can be reduced, but then the image quality will deteriorate.

The heart here is the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme with iGPU Radeon 780M. There are 16 GB of LPDDR5x-7500 RAM, SSD capacity from 256 GB to 1 TB. The battery capacity is 49.2 Wh, which is much larger than the Steam Deck or ROG Ally. In addition, there is fast charging: the device is charged up to 50% in half an hour. But at the same time, the console weighs 854 g with dimensions of 299 × 131 × 41 mm.

From the rest, a pair of USB-C with support for DisplayPort 1.4 and Power Delivery 3.0, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.2 can be noted. It will be possible to buy the device from November for 700 dollars or 800 euros.
