Lenovo has just dropped the Australian prices for the Lenovo Legion GO which will be releasing at the end of the month.
The Lenovo Legion GO will cost $1,299 AUD for the Z1 Edition and $1,499 AUD for the Z1 Extreme Edition although you can get 10% off both of these prices using code ANWEL71023 . This puts it at a little bit more expensive than the ASUS ROG Ally, but the Legion GO has a larger screen with a higher refresh rate.
Both units are shipping within the next 5-6 weeks and are available to pre-order HERE.

- Lenovo Legion Go Z1 Edition – $1,169 AUD ($130 off using code ANWEL71023)
- Lenovo Legion Go Z1 Extreme Edition – $1,349 AUD ($150 off using code ANWEL71023)
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE LENOVO LEGION GO
The Lenovo Legion GO features an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor (same as the ROG Ally), but it has a massive 8.8-inch QHD+ 16:10 display display (500 nits in brightness) supporting resolutions of up to 1600p and 144hz. It has support for a 1TB SSD and a 1TB MicroSD slot as well.
It has a massive 49.2Wh capacity battery as well as Super Rapid Charge capability recharging up to 70% in just half an hour. Dual USB-C ports are included so that you can charge the device whilst connecting other accessories.
A very interesting differentiation between the Lenovo Legion GO and other Windows handhelds is the fact that it has detachable Joysticks just like the Nintendo Switch. They use hall effect joy-sticks, and have really interesting inputs such as a trackpad, an angled mouse wheel and a total of 10 mappable shoulder buttons, triggers and grip buttons.
There’s also a button to enable FPS mode which will allow you to put the joystick in a kickstand of sorts, and allow for precise movements that mimic that of a mouse for use in first person shooters.
I know more than most how important it is to have a custom OS when using Windows on one of these handhelds, and Lenovo clearly knows hta too as Lenovo Space is a frontend loader that will allow you to access all of your games, as well as quick settings.
