[The Verge] Legion Go 2 official: Lenovo’s new flagship handheld costs $1,099 — and up
1080g for a handheld device is insanity even if it has an 8.8" screen. People have complained that the Switch2 (7.9") at 535g is too heavy. This weighs just over 2X the Switch2. As for competitors, the Steam Deck OLED (7.4") is 630g, and the Asus ROG Ally X (7") is 680g. Doubly idiotic is that they'

Legion Go or Steam Deck OLED?
Depends what you’re looking to get out of a handheld. Steam Deck is a much simpler experience and much more of a true “handheld”. It runs indies super well with no tinkering. Battery life is great. However its specs are aging and there’s a learning curve when it comes to leveraging SteamOS for mods

Why the 7 inch screen?
I had the original Legion Go, pre order day one. I found it too heavy and dimensions too big for a handheld, the weight and bulk were due to the screen size choice. In my opinion the Lenovo Go OG, was a tablet trying to be a handheld. It even had a portrait orientation tablet screen masquerading as

Rog ally for a Legion Go?
I’ve had the original Legion Go, Ally Z1E and now Ally X. Legion Go’s screen is pretty great, no doubt about it. Speakers are terrible compared to Ally. Battery is a little worse than Z1E Ally and way worse than X. Detachable controllers on Go are kinda neat, so is the built in stand. The Go is much

Someone explain the Legion Go to me like I’m five
The Legion Go is a handheld gaming PC produced by Lenovo.

You can now install SteamOS on it if you want but it'

A used 2TB Lenovo legion go Z1 extreme, Nintendo Switch 2 or OLED steam deck 1TB new?
By the time I was looking to buy a handheld PC, the Ally a Legion Go had been released… and I chose a Steam Deck OLED. I have a PS5 (and a NVIDIA Shield) and I got an amazing deal on a Switch Lite about the same time. What was most important to me was I wanted to stop paying subscriptions just to pl

Legion Go Gen 1 is the GOAT
Convince me I’m wrong 8.8 inch screen is in no mans land its not large enough for multitasking and also it uses more battery than other devices due to this exact screen 50wh battery isnt good and you've already acknowledged that Its the one of the least portable handhelds due to its size and weight

Looking for a new handheld after selling my ROG Ally Z1 Extreme, big hands, AAA gaming & emulation
Got uncomfortable after a couple hours (big hands) Started struggling with newer AAA games sooner than expected Given this we can start ruling out stuff from your list I’ve been eyeing: • MSI Claw 8 AI+ • Ally X • Legion Go / Legion Go 2 - too large and bulky to be portable + price • AYN Thor - smal

Still my preferred choice out of all of the Z1 Extreme devices
ok so this is what im seeing-pwm but high frequency this is from an online search The Lenovo Legion Go 2 (OLED) utilizes Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for brightness control, with reports indicating a 720Hz frequency and ~30% amplitude at 85% brightness and below. While this frequency is relatively h

Which handheld should I buy?
I have to be honest and just caution how much weight you put into what you read on Reddit lately as it is just bot central. I am a little out of handhelds currently as I went to XR experience and am streaming my games to my Apple Vision Pro m5. Talk about a giant investment when I was originally loo
