Attractive, ergonomic, and polished design
Refined and comfortable controls, including Hall Effect thumbsticks
Gorgeous 8-inch display, now with VRR support
Built-in touchpad is great to have and works surprisingly well

Ryzen Z2 Go performance falls far behind the Legion Go and ROG Ally
Battery life doesn't feel improved at all in exchange
That price tag for this performance is... oof

This is basically a little handheld Xbox. You get Xbox Game Pass compatibility and Xbox Cloud Gaming. Not to mention, you can install Steam and get your Steam library as well.
Very nice display, colorful and bright. Very enjoyable to use
The buttons and D-Pad were excellent and the sticks were responsive
The design is nice and sleek, it looks really great

Windows can be a PITA sometimes, I'm not going to poo-poo it like other reviewers. I think once you get it all set up, and you're in the game...it's fine
Performance is fine, but not better than the outgoing Legion Go. So, maybe just buy the original instead, that's up to you
Pricey handheld for the return you get. It does have value, but the other options might carry more value

Ryzen Z2 Go offers limited performance.
Relatively high price
The graphic performance could be better.
The interview is somewhat complicated.

Unmatched gaming performance
The user interface of SteamOS is superior to that of Windows 11 for portable gaming consoles.
SteamOS helps extend the battery life.
