I Played the Lenovo Legion Go 2 Gaming Handheld. It's a Big Upgrade With a Bigger Price

It's been two years since Lenovo released the Legion Go gaming handheld. It was big and heavy, sure, but it also had poor battery life, really loud fans and was saddled with Windows 11. To be fair, it was one of the first of the recent crop of Windows gaming handhelds, and the competition hasn't exactly been exceedingly better. We may be turning a corner, though, with the Legion Go S earlier this year, the upcoming Asus ROG Xbox Ally and now, the Legion Go 2. Expected to arrive in October, with

Lenovo Legion Go 2 hands-on: Powerful upgrades but with an even higher price

The Pretty Screen on Lenovo’s Legion Go 2 Will Almost Make You Forget About Its Price

Why change what works? In the case of Lenovo’s Legion Go 2, the question morphs into “Why change what makes you distinct?” Lenovo’s upcoming sequel to its Legion Go handheld gaming PC is more powerful, has grips made for human hands, and sports a prettier screen.

I Thought This Handheld Would Let Me Play Battlefield Anywhere. I Was Wrong

If you're excited by the arrival of the next Battlefield installment, then you were probably battling for "C" right alongside me on the past beta weekend.
