This Unmissable Holiday Deal on the Lenovo Legion Go Won’t Last Long

Handheld gaming is more popular than ever, with systems like the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch boasting huge, dedicated fan bases and vibrant gaming scenes. Although the former has a chokehold on the PC handheld market, other systems like Lenovo's Legion Go give it a run for its money.

You can now get your hands on a 1TB Legion Go for just $550 at Best Buy, marking a $200 savings compared to its regular price. With its 8.8-inch, 2,560x1,600-pixel resolution display, TrueStrike controllers and multiple gameplay modes, the Legion Go is a handheld thrill ride for any gamer. Amazon also has the 512GB variant for $499. Act fast to get these prices though, because the deal at Best Buy ends on Dec. 19, giving you less than 12 hours to take advantage of it.

If you're tired of sitting in a desk chair all day, you can connect the Legion Go to your monitor or TV, sit back on your couch and relax. The TrueStrike controllers are also detachable for ease of use, which CNET's Scott Stein loved in his review. For uninterrupted gaming, the Legion Go has a 49.2-watt-hour battery capacity, and thanks to Super Rapid Charge, you can get back to 70% after just 30 minutes of charging.  

You'll be happy to hear that the Legion Go has a vivid, dynamic display that has a refresh rate of up to 144Hz, a 10-point touchscreen, 97% DCI-P3 color gamut and brightness at 500 nits. In terms of sound, the Legion Go has a 2x2-watt speaker system for impressive soundscapes given its size. Plus, thanks to Windows 11, you can use this display and speakers to their fullest while having access to a wide variety of games from a number of stores. 

Why this deal matters 

Right now, this is the lowest price we've ever seen for a brand-new 1TB Lenovo Legion Go. Even its Black Friday deal only saw a discount to $580, so if this device is on your shopping list, now's the time to strike. Purchasing from Best Buy will also get you one month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and a 60-day trial of anime streamer Crunchyroll's new Mega Fan tier for free.

Will this item arrive in time for Christmas?

If you're ordering this as a holiday gift, you probably want to know if it's going to arrive on time. With Christmas and Hanukkah both taking place on Dec. 25 this year, and Kwanzaa kicking off the day after, it's important to note shipping deadlines for USPS, FedEx, UPS, Amazon and others.
