Lenovo Legion Go 2 — Review, Price, Where to Buy

Name: Lenovo Legion Go 2
Brand: Lenovo

Our Verdict

The biggest screen handheld goes SteamOS. The switch from Windows to SteamOS is a smart move — much better handheld experience. The 8.8-inch display is stunning but makes it quite large to carry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why SteamOS instead of Windows?

Lenovo listened to feedback. SteamOS is much better optimized for handheld gaming with a clean controller-friendly UI and better battery management.

Can the controllers be used separately?

Yes, the right controller includes a trackball and can be used as a standalone mouse-like controller. Both controllers work wirelessly when detached.

Is it too big to be portable?

It fits in a backpack but not a jacket pocket. Think of it as a mini gaming tablet rather than a Switch-sized device.
