Lenovo Legion Go is now $100 off in this epic Best Buy deal — and it's the Switch 2 of handheld gaming PCs
Right now, the Lenovo Legion Go with a 1TB SSD has a $100 price cut at Best Buy, and it's still one of the best handheld gaming PCs you can get thanks to the power it packs under the hood. And yes, it even outshines the recent Legion Go S with its AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme performance.
It even features detachable controllers that can be used as a mouse. Essentially, you'll be getting the Switch 2 of Windows PC gaming handhelds, and with power to boot.
The Lenovo Legion Go is still one of the best handheld gaming PCs to get, with the might of its AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor and 16GB of RAM powering through AAA games at steady frame rates. I've been a huge fan of its 8.8-inch 144Hz display and detachable controllers (that can turn into a mouse!) since it came out, and even better, this model comes with a handy 1TB SSD. With a $100 discount, the Legion Go is a handheld worth checking out.
More portable consoles may be on the horizon, but the Lenovo Legion Go still earns its spot as one of the best gaming handhelds you can grab, and this model with a 1TB SSD is now made even better thanks to its $100 price cut.
You'll be able to run AAA games thanks to the power of its AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme and 16GB of RAM onboard, with AMD's FSR upscaling tech boosting visuals and frame rates. Don't expect to crank up settings in titles like Cyberpunk 2077 to max, but if you tinker with settings, you'll get smooth frame rates in the best PC games while you're on the move.
Who said the Switch 2 was the first to bring out detachable controllers that can be used as a mouse? Well, the Legion Go kicked off that trend, and I've enjoyed my time playing FPS titles like Doom Eternal or Turbo Overkill on the Legion Go while using the controller as a mouse.
Sure, Windows 11 can feel a tad clunky at times, and we hoped that its battery life would last longer than 2 hours, but that shouldn't take away from what the Legion Go can achieve. Especially when you're gaming on its 8.8-inch QHD+ (2,560 x 1,600) display with a 144Hz refresh rate.
Whether you play games on Steam, Xbox Game Pass or others and want to play your PC titles while traveling or just lying on the couch, the Legion Go in this deal is a great shout now that it's $100 off. I'll have you know it even matches the performance of the MSI Cyborg 15 gaming laptop, and that's one of our favorites!
Don't think this is the right Father's Day gift idea? Not to worry, as we have plenty more in store. Even the PS5 Pro got a price cut!

AMD Aims To Dethrone Nvidia In AI Race—Here's How
Nvidia Corp's (NASDAQ:NVDA) AI chip empire is built on H100s, which cost up to $40,000. It is the go-to for tech titans like Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META). But with supply shortages and U.S. export bans choking sales to China, startups and sovereign AI dreamers in India and the UAE are increasingly turning to Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:AMD). AMD's secret sauce lies in its cheaper alternative in the MI300 chips, and its open-source ROCm software. Track AMD's stock trajectory here. Can AMD's open-source ROCm software topple Nvidia's iron grip and spark the next AI revolution? Read Also: AMD's Budget Chips: More Pack For The Punch AMD's MI300X chip packs 192GB of memory—twice Nvidia's H100—perfect for building massive AI models. Priced at about $25,000 for the upcoming MI350X, it's a steal compared to Nvidia's wallet-busting chips. Indian startups coding AI for farmers or doctors, and UAE's bold Falcon AI project, can stretch their cash further. AMD's chips also save power, a win for data centers in steamy Dubai. While Nvidia's tangled in supply and trade-ban chaos, AMD's U.S.-focused hustle keeps it nimble, opening doors for scrappy innovators. AMD's Open-Source ROCm: The Startup Spark AMD's ROCm software is the real magic, letting coders run AI anywhere, unlike Nvidia's clingy CUDA, which locks you in like a bad date. India's open-source coders and UAE's homegrown AI builders love this freedom. Microsoft is using ROCm with MI300X on Azure, raving about its low cost. Hugging Face runs numerous AI models on it as well. Nvidia's CUDA has more fans, and its chips link faster, but ROCm's open vibe is stealing hearts. AMD's affordable MI300X and ROCm's open-source spark could let startups and sovereigns challenge Nvidia's pricey empire. The gap with Nvidia is still massive, of course. But AMD doesn't need to be a clone—it just needs to be the alternative. And with export curbs hitting Nvidia's China business, AMD's more measured exposure could be an accidental advantage. The takeaway? AMD might not wear the AI crown—but it's found the secret sauce to get invited to the royal table.

Why Advanced Micro Devices Rallied Over 24% in July
Key Points AMD was allowed to resume modified AI GPU shipments to China. A South Korean news outlet reported that AMD is raising prices on its AI GPUs. Investors are growing more enthusiastic AMD will become a second source to Nvidia. 10 stocks we like better than Advanced Micro Devices › Shares of Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) rallied 24.2% in July, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. AMD had a great month, as its toned-down artificial intelligence graphics processing units (AI GPUs) were approved for sale into China, just as rival Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) was cleared to recommence sales of its H20 chip. AMD then got an end-of-month boost when a South Korean news outlet reported that AMD was substantially increasing the price of its Instinct AI GPUs, showing off some pricing power on its most important product. AI stocks get a boost from Trump and increased demand Artificial intelligence stocks generally had a pretty good month in July. All of the big cloud hyperscalers increased their outlooks for capital expenditures going to AI data centers, and AMD will undoubtedly be a beneficiary of this as it seeks to become a trusted second source behind Nvidia. The positive AI sentiment also probably got a boost from the Trump administration's midmonth unveiling of its "AI Action Plan." While there were several aspects to the 30-page plan, it appears to mostly be a deregulatory document aimed at speeding up the approval and construction of AI data centers. AMD saw some of the fruits of this de-regulation on July 15, when the Commerce Department apparently told AMD that it would soon approve shipments of the company's MI308 AI chip to China. Like Nvidia's H20, the MI308 is AMD's toned-down version of its Instinct GPU for the Chinese market. AMD had warned last quarter that the restrictions of the MI308 could cost the company up to $800 million in writedowns. But now, AMD is set to realize that revenue, which is also likely to come at high margins. Finally, South Korean news outlet Newsis reported that AMD has raised the price of its Instinct MI350 AI accelerator from $15,000 to $25,000, good for a 67% increase. Although the hasn't confirmed it yet, if true, the price increase could indicate increased demand for the Instinct at major cloud companies. Up until now, AMD may have had to cut prices for major AI customers to try the Instinct over Nvidia's Blackwell chips. The price increase apparently shows that there's enough demand for Instinct and its price-performance characteristics. While the Instinct systems are still probably priced at a discount to Nvidia's Blackwell, the price increase seems to show AMD is more confident about Instinct's competitiveness. AMD reports today Investors will get more information when AMD reports earnings after the close today. Analysts expect revenue of $7.43 billion and earnings per share of $0.48, good for 27% and 30% growth, respectively. The stock has had a great run off the April lows, more than doubling to trade at 44 times this year's earnings estimates. So it may be difficult for AMD to top those lofty expectations, at least in the near term. Should you buy stock in Advanced Micro Devices right now?
