## What reviewers say

**Valve Steam Deck OLED** — Three whitelisted testers with hands-on lab measurements — Tom's Hardware, Tom's Guide and Engadget — agree the Steam Deck OLED is the definitive Steam Deck: the brighter OLED/HDR screen (measured ~597 nits SDR, ~969 nits HDR) and longer battery are genuine wins, but gaming performance is essentially unchanged from the LCD and the chassis stays bulky. (3 sourced reviews.)

**Lenovo Legion Go** — Four whitelisted labs (Tom's Hardware, Tom's Guide, Digital Trends, Notebookcheck) tested the original 8.8-inch Legion Go (Ryzen Z1 Extreme) and agree: a class-leading bright, sharp 144Hz display and versatile detachable controllers, undercut by poor battery life, an impractical 1600p resolution, bulk, and buggy Legion Space software. This is the first-gen model, not the OLED Go 2. (4 sourced reviews.)
