Expand the connectivity options of Lenovo’s handheld with these docks
Lenovo has jumped into the handheld gaming scene with the Legion Go, the newest competitor to the Asus ROG Ally and Valve’s Steam Deck. Since the Legion Go only comes with two USB4 ports, docks are a great way to go if you need to expand the connectivity options of your new handheld console. Docks can also be quite convenient for charging your Legion Go. It’s important to note that manufacturers have yet to make docks specifically for the Lenovo Legion Go; however, we can tell from dimensions that, thankfully, many of the docks for the Steam Deck should fit Lenovo’s handheld all the same.

Final thoughts on the best Legion Go docks
A dock is a great way to expand the applications of any device, especially a handheld console or laptop, both of which often lack port selection. This is true of the Lenovo Legion Go, as it has only two USB-C ports. But with something like the CalDigit TS4, you can connect your Legion Go to a 4K TV or gaming monitor with 4K@120Hz HDMI outputs while playing your favorite titles online, with no lag, thanks to that dock’s 2.5 GB Ethernet port.
Other docks, such as the JSAUX Steam Deck Dock, can also be used with the Lenovo Legion Go. It might get tricky if you’re using a case with the Legion Go, but you can also use the Legion Go’s integrated stand with any of these docking stations as a quick workaround.
