If you’ve been toying with the idea of picking up a gaming handheld, we have a Lenovo Legion Go deal that is too good to pass on. Amazon is currently selling renewed Legion Go handhelds for $549.99, that’s a massive $200 under MSRP, and you are still entitled to a 90-day warranty to ensure you’re happy with the condition of the device.
In our Lenovo Legion Go review, we praised its “top tier specs” and “awesomely sharp display” even going so far as to consider it the best handheld gaming PC when it comes to the screen, thanks to its 8.8-inch, 144Hz, 2,560 x 1,660 IPS panel. It doesn’t quite dethrone the Steam Deck from its perch, but it comes close.
The 512GB Lenovo Legion Go still has a $749.99 MSRP, although this model currently sells for $698.47 on Amazon. This means that at $549.99, you’re still saving $148.48 against the already reduced price of the Legion Go, all because you opted for a renewed device.
Lenovo took a left-field approach with its first gaming handheld. Not only is it considerably bigger than most competitors available at the time of its release, but its Nintendo Switch-like detachable controllers are also a stand-out feature.
This Windows handheld is powered by the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme, which also powers two generations of the Asus ROG Ally. It has more power than the Steam Deck’s custom AMD APU, meaning it can handle more demanding games a little easier. This extra power, combined with its higher native resolution compared to the Deck, also allows for AMD FSR to be implemented with a higher level of image quality retained.
If you’re worried about buying an Amazon-renewed product, a few policies are in place to ensure the experience is as smooth as possible. First is the grading system. These Lenovo Legion Go devices are graded Excellent, meaning the screen can have no scratches, there are no signs of cosmetic damage visible when the device is held 12 inches away, and the battery health must be higher than 80%.
You may receive the product in generic packaging, and accessories included with the device may also be off-brand, but it’s also possible that you will receive the original box and accessories. A 90-day guarantee allows you to decide whether or not you’re happy with the device, and if you aren’t satisfied you may return it for a full refund.
