Global Critique

The Lenovo Legion Go 2 is about as full-featured a handheld as we've seen, with a fast, 144 Hz OLED display, detachable controllers, and the latest AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor.

Tom's Hardware

At $1,349.99, this is one of the most expensive PC gaming handhelds that we've tested so far.

Tom's Hardware

The only downside is that it is very susceptible to glare, which isn't great for playing games outside or near windows.

The best (and largest) screen on a gaming handheld.
