It’s different, and different can be good.

It’s a powerful Windows tablet with a pair of detachable Nintendo Switch-like wireless controllers and a full-width kickstand — the better to play at a table, stand up vertically for reading, or dock to a TV. I wouldn’t say it’s the best handheld screen: there is absolutely no beating the Steam Deck OLED when it comes to rich color, deep blacks, explosive HDR, and usability in a dim bedroom. At launch, I might have dinged Lenovo for forcing me to reach down to the base of my thumb to hit Start and Select buttons or manually navigate to a website to download updates.
