The Legion Go II has been everything I could have asked for so far. It pretty much combined my steam deck experience with my gaming laptop experience and takes the best from both worlds. It does everything a gaming laptop can do but unlike my gaming laptop it can actually be taken with you on walks or wherever on the go and be used in any other portable scenarios with ease and with amazing battery life. It is also much better than the Steam Deck with its larger gorgeous OLED screen and higher performance so I can actually play most games including more modern games at 60 fps. I honestly see no reason to even have a gaming laptop or steam deck anymore because it does a great job and replacing both. I hear a lot of reviewers say it’s too expensive and just buy a gaming laptop but apparently those reviewers only play games sitting down because you’re not gonna be able to use a laptop for 2+ hours while walking around. It can also be used for other things other than gaming since it has features like a laptop such as also being convenient to connect to a tv rather then having to take a bigger laptop out. I can game on larger screens while also not having to deal with all the heat my gaming laptop creates and space it takes up. I also don’t think it’s too big. I was worried because some people said it was heavy but this is just as heavy as my steam deck is with a case. I’ve had no issues walking while playing. Now it is not without its flaws. I do wish it was a little more powerful because there are some games where it will still struggle to hit a consistent 60 fps. I am also not a fan of all the buttons that the controller has. The mouse seems like a gimmick because I’d rather use a traditional bluetooth mouse instead if i was actually going to use a mouth. The extra buttons just get in the way because I won’t use them. The touch pad has also been inconvenient because it’s so close to the thumb stick that it leads to accidental presses so I just disabled it. If you’re a controller players, the sticks are also a little too loose for my liking. It’s difficult to play competitive shooters on this if your used to better controllers so you’d be be better off connecting your favorite controller. Overall I chose this over the competition because the screen makes all the difference by making it feel like a generational jump from something like steam deck. I don’t think I can ever go back to a screen that’s smaller and not OLED. It’s a very beautiful screen and just the right size to where it’s not too gigantic. I think the pros outweigh the cons tremendously with this device so I am giving it a 5/5.

I’ve owned quite a few handhelds over the years: the Asus ROG XBox Ally X, the Legion Go 1 Z1E, the Legion Go S Z1E Steam OS, the Ally X Z1, and even the Asus ROG Flow Z13 (Max 395) paired with a Gamesir controller. Out of all of them, the Lenovo Legion Go 2 Z2E stands out as the one I don’t want to return. It’s not lightyears ahead in every category, but it’s lightyears ahead in enough of them to make it the champ in my opinion. Display & Experience The 8.8-inch OLED screen is the biggest draw. It’s the main reason I returned the Ally X—its screen felt way too small. After proper HDR calibration, the Legion’s display is simply marvelous. Games like The Division 1, Resident Evil 4, MegaBonk, and Starfield look stunning. Watching YouTube or streaming content is a joy—the sound quality is shockingly good, better than my laptop speakers. Performance & Software Running Windows with Steam set to launch in Full Picture mode is smooth and reliable. I haven’t bothered with Bazzite or Xbox FSE yet, and honestly, I don’t feel the need until official support arrives. AMD’s frame generation and resolution scaling doubled my frames without noticeable performance loss. AAA titles run beautifully, and lighter games sip power efficiently. Battery life is impressive: about 6 hours on Quiet mode for low-end games, and 3–4 hours for AAA titles on Performance mode. Ergonomics & Usability The ergonomics aren’t perfect—ASUS still has the edge there—but a cheap Amazon grip solved my issue with misclicking unused right-side buttons. It’s versatile: perfect for couch gaming, travel, and even doubles as a laptop when paired with a portable keyboard. Compared to the Ally X, the Legion Go 2 wins with its bigger OLED screen and superior audio, even if ASUS nailed the feel of the device better. Value Alternatives like the Apex or Win5 might tempt me, but they lack OLED, have smaller screens, and cost $800–$1000 more. For the price, the Legion Go 2 Z2E is unbeatable.

This handheld literally has everything I've been wanting. I've owned every mainstream handheld there is. With each and everyone of those there was always something missing leaving me just wishing they had this or that. This handheld has it all. The best oled display hdr vrr 144hz, a display big enough to actually comfortably play on, good battery life, a performant apu that is very efficient, good controllers , good speakers, and the software is actually better than I anticipated. All around this device has earned my first ever 5 star rating for a handheld.
