Move to the top of the steam deck. Lenovo is reportedly working on Legion Go 'Lite'

Here, in Tom's Guide, we rate Lenovo Legion Go as the best windows gaming handheld on the market. Personally, I've never tested it, but I know that my computing colleague Tony Polanco appreciates it quite a bit. I might have taken the plunge to 1 if there wasn't a Steam Deck OLED presence, but in the new story of the slimmed-down "Lite" Legion Go, I asked Lenovo to "shut up and take the money!""

Is oddly cool FPS mode as its right controller can be used as a pseudo mouse, and the screen statistics of Go are commendable as — the form factor of the display itself brings chonk — 2,560x1,600 resolution, top-out refresh rate at 144hz. It will be. The 8.8-inch is ludicrously large for a handheld gaming PC (the panel on the context Steam Deck OLED is a "mere" 7.4-inch), so it makes sense that Lenovo is clearly planning to launch a smaller version. 

According to Windows Central sources, the company is actively working on the Legion Go Lite model. The refreshed and very still rumored handheld is said to use the same Z1AMD CPU range as the OG portable PC, but can "make some improvements over its predecessor." 

Windows Central can't confirm specific details yet, but the site expects Lite to have a smaller display than the current console. Polanco also expects the screen Rhino Lite to be cheaper than the current開始630 starting price if it is a real product and comes out on the market, as games that don't run on games that are "absurdly high for handheld" at the current Legion Go native resolution can be a bit obtrusive.

Lenovo Legion Go is the only recent gaming device that's also coming far away to entice me away from my beloved Steam Deck OLED. For my money, Valve's upgraded system is the best gaming handheld console of all time... Starting with Starting549, it's cheaper than Go and features a much wiser resolution of 1,200 x 800 pixels. But what makes the refreshed deck so elite is the combination of OLED and HDR rock socks. During our testing, Valve's handheld reached a peak brightness of 597 nits, which was significantly better than the 476 nits that Legion Go can produce.

I'm all for healthy competition in the PC market, so I'd like to see the slim and inexpensive Lenovo Legion go. At the time of writing, there is essentially zero specific information about this rumored "Lite" model, but Go's successors have key areas that need improvement. During Lenovo's review test of the device, Steam Deck OLED comfortably surpassed its frame rate performance with cyberpunk2077 and Shadow of The Tomb Raider. For Lara's rebooted threequel-ender, fps output was almost double on Valve's machine — 23fps on the go versus 44fps on deck OLED.

Battery life is the other big area that any revised Legion Go has to deal with. The current model can only last 1 hour and 51 seconds, but the Steam Deck OLED allows you to comfortably play tough games like Marvel's Spider-Man in a moderate setting.

The great Linux-based SteamOS coupled with its incredible screen, I think Lenovo Legion Go Lite doesn't have much of a chance if it goes the LCD route again, but put the OLED screen in there and dial down the resolution to give me a good battery life and the company is still working on my change wallet.
