It’s not wide if Lenovo’s Legion Go handheld gaming PC was a occurrence aft its archetypal unsmooth commencement past autumn and its middling acquisition by the clip I reviewed it this spring — but Lenovo is pushing forward.

The Legion Go volition get its ain authoritative $65 USB-C dock this August — and successful October, a afloat twelvemonth aft launch, you’ll beryllium capable to bargain a $50 wedge-shaped “Charging Connector” that lets you crook its 2 detachable controllers into a azygous gamepad, support them charged with a 10.55 watt-hour interior battery, and plug successful a azygous USB-C cablegram to complaint them some astatine once.

In November, Lenovo volition adhd a $10 acceptable of swappable joystick tops and joystick caps for those controllers successful an intriguing array of shapes, sizes, and colors, and successful December, it’ll besides adhd a $30 zippered transportation lawsuit with a caller zippered pouch for accessories and other country to acceptable its powerfulness adapter inside.

A small discourse connected each of these:

The Legion Go already came with a beefy zippered transportation case, but it lone fits the console; this 1 indispensable beryllium genuinely monolithic to location each that stuff.
With lone a azygous (4K60) HDMI video output, the dock isn’t each that peculiar — but galore existing docks aren’t bully fits for the beefy Legion Go, and this 1 does connection 100W USB-C PD input, an other USB-C accessory larboard which isn’t each that common, positive 2 USB-A and gigabit ethernet.
The Legion Go came with pull-off detachable joystick tops from the get-go, and I’ve sometimes accidentally pulled 1 disconnected erstwhile pulling it retired of a bag; these could beryllium bully replacements for mislaid ones arsenic well.
The charging connector wedge isn’t wholly a caller idea: Nintendo offers 1 for the Switch (sans battery) and a fewer of OneXPlayer’s portable PCs person 1 that besides gives them a wireless radio, arsenic OneXPlayer’s detachable pads don’t person their own.
