## What reviewers say

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. (Based on 4 reviews, 4 lab-tested, 2023-11-09–2024-01-18.)

Praised: Bright, sharp, best-in-class 8.8-inch 144Hz IPS display; Detachable controllers plus sturdy kickstand enable a versatile tabletop mode; Strong Ryzen Z1 Extreme performance runs modern games with tuning.
Flagged: Poor battery life (roughly 1.5-2 hours gaming); Buggy, unpolished Legion Space software and clumsy Windows 11 controller navigation; Native 2560x1600 resolution impractical for most games; Bulky and heavy for on-the-go handheld use; FPS-mode mouse is a gimmick, easily replaced by a real mouse.
Disagreement: Verdict split on recommendation: Tom's Guide calls it 'arguably the best Windows 11 handheld,' while Tom's Hardware personally prefers the lighter Steam Deck/ROG Ally and Notebookcheck frames it as a strong handheld only '95% of the time.' Battery figures also diverge by test method: Notebookcheck logged just over 5 hours surfing versus Tom's 4 h 6 min web test.
