Another Lenovo Legion Go leak has landed, and the handheld PC is posing for the camera. Shared images reveal something that looks pretty close to a Nintendo Switch in terms of design, as its controllers appear to detach. However, I’m not entirely convinced that’s what the portable scene needs right now, removable Joycon style gamepads might be a blessing and a curse. The Legion Go is anything but short of competition, as portable like the , , and are already occupying the growing market. When word first emerged that , I outlined why it could find success targeting the budget side of things, as there’s a distinct lack of competitors that cost under $300. Sadly, the newly leaked images imply that the Legion Go won’t be cheap, even if it brings something unique to the table. The leaked Lenovo Legion Go images come courtesy of , with each photo providing a glimpse at different angles. The product snaps also reveal its detachable controllers, which appear to push fit onto the sides. In addition to the usually array of face buttons and thumb sticks, the right hand controller seems to have a touchpad, while also boasting side and back buttons alongside standard shoulder buttons. The main body of the Levovo handheld effectively looks like a chonkier version of the Switch OLED, as it even uses the same wide kickstand as Nintendo’s portable console. That’s not remotely a bad thing, as it should mean it’ll subtly blend into any setup, whether you use the with your handhelds or a mishmash of dongles. Naturally, it also means you won’t need a separate when playing on a or TV, but that’s exactly what could keep this device from achieving budget greatness. Will the Lenovo Legion Go cost less than the Steam Deck? At the moment, we don’t know for sure how much the Legion Go will actually set you back. Ultimately, cost will hinge on Lenovo’s choice of innards, as using an APU like the Ryzen Z1 Extreme comes with cost caveats. The laptop maker could trim down MSRP by targeting performance on par with the Steam Deck, but it's those detachable controllers that pose a price problem. This is completely speculative, but creating detachable controllers for a new platform probably isn’t cheap. Not only do you have to come up with a proprietary design, but adding extra batteries into the mix might compromise the handheld’s own potential runtime. These are all factors that may affect the portable’s chances of being a cheaper Steam Deck alternative, particularly one that holds up in terms of battery life and PC performance. Of course, there’s still a chance that the Lenovo Legion Go will be the budget legend I’ve been waiting for, so I’m going to remain cautiously optimistic for now. The fact the company is borrowing design aspects from Nintendo suggests it’s interested in catering to those kinds of players, and that can only really be done using careful pricing. That’s not to say other device makers aren’t gunning for the same marker, as a new is coming to tempt players away from their Mario machines. That said, luring console fans into the gaming PC space would be a far more impressive feat, and there’s always a chance Lenovo will do just that.
