A versatile premium Windows handheld whose big OLED screen is the best on any handheld so far.
Read Windows Central review - 80Trusted Reviews
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.
Read Trusted Reviews review - 70Tom's Hardware
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.
Read Tom's Hardware review - 70Tom's Guide
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.

The Lenovo Legion Go 2 offers a fantastic screen and improved controls, but its high price point makes it difficult to recommend over the original model.
