The verdict
Legion Go 2: The premium powerhouse. Gorgeous 8.8" 144Hz OLED, detachable controllers, top performance. But heavy, expensive, and full Windows.
ROG Xbox Ally: The cheap Windows door-opener. Streamlined Xbox full-screen mode on a 1080p 120Hz panel for $499. The weaker Z2 A chip means modest frame rates, but the value is strong.
