Lenovo Legion Go S review: a preview of the first AMD Z2-powered gaming handhelds

Comfortable and great-looking handheld, but wait until Lenovo turns it up to Z2 Extreme

(credit: Kevin Lee / The Shortcut)Lenovo has released the first AMD “Z2” powered gaming handheld, and while it's one of the most comfortable and attractive devices I’ve used, it’s too badly positioned to recommend to everyone. Even with quiet mode, you’ll get a maximum of five to six, but that lowers the TDP to 10W, which makes it usable for low-impact, turn-based games like Persona 3 Reloaded and Slay the Spire. The Legion Space app conveniently creates a library of games across different launchers like Steam, Epic, and Ubisoft Connect – all of which I can start with a simple tap or navigating with the controller buttons.
