The Legion Go 2 is a large Windows handheld that stands out for its screen, removable controllers, and bigger battery. The 32GB memory and 1TB storage help, and the Z2 chip is described as close to the original Z1 Extreme, though not far ahead of the base Z1E class. The main tradeoff is that the Z2 version can feel held back versus the Z2 Extreme, and the controller layout can be awkward for games that need frequent stick and D-pad switching. It is a strong fit if display quality and flexibility matter more than top-end performance.
Common Questions (5)
The base Z2 is reported to be close to the Z1E/original Legion Go in real-world performance, while the Z2 Extreme should be about 20-30% faster. The Z2 model is still considered a generation-old chip, so the main upgrades are the screen, RAM, and battery rather than a big speed jump.
Yes. The bundle includes Microsoft Solitaire Collection, Paint, Outlook, and Teams. It is not a pick-any-4 offer.
Yes, the larger battery can improve runtime, but the bigger screen limits the gain. One comparison says the Go 2 should be a bit better than the original, while another reports the original can barely last about an hour at full TDP.
Yes, it can be dual-booted with Windows 11 and Bazzite, and that setup is reported to run perfectly. SteamOS support still has some bugs and workarounds, while Bazzite is described as the more stable option.
Yes. The Legion Go 2 controllers are compatible with the original Legion Go and can be bought separately for about $60 each. That makes the newer controller design an upgrade path even if you keep the older handheld.

The controller ergonomics were one of the main things people complained about with it, but the much better legion go 2 controllers are compatible with it. They can be bought separately for like $60 each.
Yeah it includes Microsoft Solitaire Collection, Paint, Outlook, and Teams

Last black friday, a 15 inch oled 5070 ti laptop was $1200.
That said, the amazing screen comes at the price of a very large size and weight. This gets tiresome to hold, and the battery life is awful. That should be a bit better with the go2 given the capacity upgrade, but I barely get an hour on the og go at full tdp. Given those 2 complaints, I ordered an open box ally x to try out that I'm picking up today. If I'm not happy with that I might return it and pick this one up to try out.
Don't forget the new Clawdbot malware system cleaner in whatever next major update they release.
I have lost all faith in Windows being usable but I do like my Epic Games collection. I want to bite the bullet and get this eventually. Esp if I can use it with a projector
Yeah it includes Microsoft Solitaire Collection, Paint, Outlook, and Teams
Notepad?
