Overview
- A Mashable first look reports the Ryzen Z2 Extreme model pushed Final Fantasy VII Remake and The Witcher 3 to around 60 FPS on lower settings, outperforming the Steam Deck OLED in those trials.
- The reviewed unit features an 8.8-inch OLED at 1920x1200 with a 30–144Hz range, 32GB of RAM, 1TB of storage, and Windows 11 preinstalled.
- Windows access enables native installs from Steam, Epic Games Store, and Xbox Game Pass, though the reviewer found touch navigation clumsy and saw a Halo Infinite incompatibility message.
- Detachable controllers, multiple mappable buttons, six front utility buttons, and LED-lit sticks expand control options but contributed to accidental presses and a bulky feel in early use.
- Compared with the original Legion Go, the new model’s display resolution drops from 2560x1600 to 1920x1200, and a PCMag-cited note suggests SteamOS previously outperformed Windows on similar hardware, which remains unverified for this device.
