Pros

FPS mode allow the right controller to work like a vertical mouse. Not perfect but works better for FPS than anything else in the market.
The Z1 Extreme + 7500 MHz RAM + PCIe 4 SSD combo makes this one of the most powerful Windows handheld on the market.
8.8 inch display has twice the pixel count on a 1080p panel. Crisp and beautiful.
If you are looking to do some work on the Legion Go, you can.
Comes with a nice and functional case.

Cons

Battery life could have been better.
144 Hz screen underutilized. The device doesn’t have the horsepower to play modern game at such high frames per second.
Speakers aren’t front facing, not loud enough.
Audible fan at higher TDPs.
Legion Space is a nice attempt to make a launcher but there’s room for improvement.
It takes time to get used to the vertical mouse like right controller.
