Forget the ROG Xbox Ally, for $600 this October Prime Day I'd be picking up a 1 TB Lenovo Legion Go

I've used the Legion Go for a long time (alongside the Legion Go S) and think it still offers a heck of a lot that other handhelds don't.

The main unique thing it offers is—no, not its detachable controllers—its ginormous screen. At 8.8 inches on the diagonal it's genuinely gorgeous to look at, even at its less-than-max 1200p resolution (there's little point setting it at its max 1600p for most games). I've compared it to the Legion Go S's still-large 8-inch screen, and I can definitely tell the difference.

The downside is it's a bit heavy and its jutty grips can get uncomfortable over prolonged use. So it's a good job you can detach those controllers and slap that handheld on a desk with its kickstand down. The big screen makes that not such a silly thing to do. Heck, it's even worth playing it like that with it resting on your lap in bed.

For this price, the Legion Go is not only worth it compared against the ROG Xbox Ally—that much might go without saying—but also on its own terms and its own merits. Don't let the presence of newer iterations put you off, as it's still a cracking handheld.
