What do critics say about the Lenovo Legion Go 2?
Trusted Reviews80
A capable, versatile handheld with a lovely screen and strong internals, but the reviewer finds the far higher price, Windows software rough edges and weak battery life hard to accept compared with rivals using similar hardware.
Expert Reviews80
A powerful, innovative handheld with one of the best portable screens, yet the reviewer finds it too heavy and far too expensive given rivals with near-identical performance and newer chips on the way.
Tom's Hardware70
The most full-featured handheld around, with a unique OLED screen and detachable controllers, but it is heavy, drains its battery fast and is very costly.
Tom's Guide70
A great handheld in many ways, with a superb screen, better ergonomics and smooth sticks, but the steep price and a full desktop Windows setup make it a tough sell next to cheaper options.
