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.
