The verdict
Legion Go 2: The premium powerhouse. Gorgeous 8.8" 144Hz OLED, detachable controllers, top performance. But heavy, expensive, and full Windows.
Legion Go S (Windows): The Windows Go S. The same comfy 8-inch 120Hz body as the SteamOS version but on Windows with the modest Z2 Go chip. Pleasant to hold; the SteamOS edition is the better-value pick for most.
