Lenovo Legion Go.
By Graham Gunning.
Thanks to the success of the Nintendo switch and the steam deck, handheld gaming is more popular than ever. And now Lenovo has joined the party by releasing their own handheld device, the Lenovo legion go. But would it be accessible? And would it be an enjoyable experience as a gamer without sight?
What is the Lenovo Legion Go?
The legion go is Lenovo’s latest attempt at a handheld windows gaming console. Starting at £699, the go packs a punch with an AMD Ryzen processor, sixteen gigs of ram, five hundred gig or one terabit of storage and windows eleven. with an 8.8-inch touch screen that sits in the middle of two retractable joysticks makes it the largest hand-held console on the market. The device has two usb-c ports, expandable SSD storage slot and a headphone jack. There is also a mouse track pad and scroll wheel along with the controller buttons for all your gaming needs.
So, is the legion go accessible?
The answer is yes and no. With the go running windows eleven you have all the accessibility features that are available on any windows device including narrator and magnifier. With narrator turned on I was able to set up the go, instal steam, NVDA and play my favourite steam games. Unfortunately, not all the features of the legend go is accessible which includes the Legion space app. The space app is where you can update the joysticks and remap the buttons of the legion go. Sadly, narrator will only tell me that the legion space app has downloaded an update and nothing else. Also, the Legion space loads automatically and the only way to get out of it is by attaching a wired keyboard.
