Few people would pick up the Steam Deck or Asus ROG Ally and think that what they lack is size. But Lenovo’s entry into the field of portable gaming PCs is coming in with an 8.8-inch screen, and a lot of other big ideas attached, too.

The Lenovo Legion Go‘s QHD+ screen—2560×1600, 16:10 ratio, 144 Hz, and 500 nits—and its base module make it bigger than Apple’s current iPad Mini. Add on detachable controllers, and the Legion Go is 11.8 inches wide by 5.5 inches tall, with a 1.6-inch depth. All that is 1.88 pounds, which is about half a pound heavier than the ROG Ally and 0.4 pounds more than the Steam Deck.

But Lenovo seems to have anticipated your tired arms, suggesting a few different ways to play the Legion Go. They start with a Switch-like detachment of the controllers and propping the Go up on a flat surface. Then, if you’re playing a first-person shooter or other game that requires precise movements, you can use either of the controllers as a vertical mouse, complete with a mouse wheel. And then there’s the optional Lenovo Legion Glasses, which can purportedly project a virtual 86-inch display onto your vision, augmented reality-style.
