The verdict

Legion Go 2: The premium powerhouse. Gorgeous 8.8" 144Hz OLED, detachable controllers, top performance. But heavy, expensive, and full Windows.

Steam Deck OLED: The value and comfort king. Only true OLED here, superb battery, polished SteamOS. Mid raw power, but unbeatable experience for the money.
