"Many companies have tried and failed to produce gaming handhelds that run Windows, and it's not hard to see the appeal. You could take all of your games with you, install mods and custom software, or even plug into a hub and get some work done. Lenovo is taking another swing at the Windows handheld game with the Legion Go 2, undeterred by mixed reviews on the original Legion Go and streamlined Legion Go S."
"But even a snappier interface and versatile input methods can't overcome a lot of the barriers inherent to running Windows on a device with no keyboard. If you're willing to put in the work, or you already love your original Legion Go, the performance, screen, and software support have all improved. If you're easily frustrated or don't want to spend the time troubleshooting to dial in your experience, I'd recommend picking something a little lower maintenance."
The Legion Go 2 is a premium gaming handheld with a high-refresh, color-accurate OLED screen, detached comfortable controllers, and improved performance over previous generation handhelds. The device is extremely versatile and customizable, supporting many games, mods, and custom software. Windows on a handheld creates interface friction due to lack of a keyboard and awkward cursor and click mappings. The controller layout is button-dense and contains confusing mouse and touchpad behaviors. The system requires setup, tweaking, and troubleshooting to achieve the best experience. Power users willing to invest time will benefit most. Casual users or those who dislike configuration should choose a lower-maintenance option.
