Legion Go Gen 2

Released September 2025

Lenovo's second Windows 11 handheld gaming PC, with an 8.8-inch 144 Hz OLED screen, detachable TrueStrike controllers and up to a Ryzen Z2 Extreme, for players who want a large-screen PC handheld that can also be played with the controllers detached.

What reviewers say

Reviewers single out the large OLED screen as the best on any handheld PC, and like the detachable controllers, strong performance and versatility. They agree it is very expensive and big and heavy, and that Windows 11 is awkward on a handheld; Tom's Guide found gaming battery life poor, and Engadget found the similarly priced ROG Xbox Ally X slightly faster.
