I tested the Legion Go 2 for hours — it improves upon the original gaming handheld except in one crucial way

What I said about the original Legion Go

In my Lenovo Legion Go review, I highlighted the handheld gaming PC's large touchscreen and detachable controllers. However, I also pointed out that the lack of VRR makes games play more choppily than some rivals.

Since getting the Legion Go 2 last week, I've spent dozens of hours with this handheld gaming PC, playing both single-player and multiplayer games as well as running the device through various benchmark tests.
