#1 Lenovo Legion Go 2
5.0

Full Windows access opens a huge library across Steam, GOG, Xbox, and other PC platforms. That breadth is a major advantage for buyers who already own many PC games.

Pros: display quality, performance

Cons: value for money, power efficiency

#2 Nex Playground

Pros: display quality, user interface

Cons: controller features, battery life
