This has been addressed and clarified a hundred times now over the past few years.
Acemagic: "Our software developers, in an effort to enhance user experience by reducing initial boot time, made adjustments to the Microsoft source code, including network settings, without obtaining software digital signatures, and the RGB lighting control software was also without one. This oversight led to isolated reports of virus-infected mini PCs manufactured before November 18, 2023."
They were lax in their digital signature network security a couple of years ago when trying to make their slow devices faster. That resulted in viruses able to get onto systems. There was no hardware or software "malware" installed, the digital security software has long since been strengthened, and there have been no repeats of the problem. Fake outrage over things like this when trying to get a computer on the cheap is silly.
It would be better to stick to facts in the present tense, with the present device, such as information on whether it lives up to its stated specs and prices. That would be more helpful than just copy pasting something you read on some posts 3-4 years ago. Do better, thanks.
Considering the cost of memory lately, this is a pretty good deal, even though it's probably noname memory and it's a refurb.

But really the two devices are in totally different categories. So ... do you want a handheld? If so then get a handheld (like the Legion Go).
If you have the opportunity to get them at similar prices? Then the Legion Go absolutely. No question.
