DO NOT BUY Lenovo Legion Go 2

Hello, welcome back to a new video.

So as many of you may know, recently the

Lenovo Legion Go 2 has come out, and

compared to the Switch 2, which I have in

my hand here, I have to say it is kind of

lacking in a certain kind of a luster

compared to the Switch 2.

Number one, it's basically worse than the

Switch 2 in almost every way when it comes

to a handheld gaming device, and it's

better in almost just one way in the fact

that it has better graphics and different

kind of games.

So if you like PC games that you can only

get on the PC from Steam or Xbox Store,

and you're not really into Nintendo games,

then okay, maybe that's the better gaming

device for you.

But if you don't really care that much

about PC games and Steam games, then you

would rather get a Switch 2, in my

opinion.

So not only do you have Nintendo games

like Mario and Zelda and Metroid.

You also get indie games like Silksong,

just came out recently on Switch 2, and

there's quite a wide support of other AAA

games on Switch 2 like Cyberpunk or

Hogwarts Legacy.

They might be a couple years old now, but

they're still AAA games.

And what you get in return is you get a

gaming console which is actually

handheldable.

So this is very thin, as you can see, very

light.

Look, you can hold it with one hand if you

want, and it just, it feels much better in

the hand as a portable gaming device.

The Lenovo Legion Go 2, on the other hand,

is kind of chunky.

It is very big and very rubbish and very

thick.

So to have those improved graphical

fidelities, yeah, it's obviously going to

have to be thicker and chunkier, which

means it's going to be heavier and weigh

more when you're holding it.

So it's going to hurt your hands more and

it's going to take up more space in your

backpack.

Look at the Switch 2 design.

It's very sleek and slim, very nice put in

your backpack.

And also the Joy-Cons are just way better

on the Switch 2.

For example, when you want to detach the

Joy-Cons, all you do is press these

buttons and they just magnetically detach

like that and then magnetically reattach.

The Lenovo Legion Go 2 Joy-Cons, on the

other hand, are kind of rubbish, and the

mechanism for attaching it to the device

is just not very premium feeling compared

to the Switch 2, which just effortlessly

detaches and unattaches like this.

Oh fuck.

So when you're talking about premium of

the devices, I think the Switch 2 is

probably better.

Also, when it comes to the price point,

Switch 2 is only about £400, whereas the

Lenovo Legion Go 2 is £1,100, which is

stupidly expensive.

Who's going to blow over £1,000 on a

handheld gaming device?

If you want something that actually works

well and plays games with good graphics,

well, you could just spend that money on

an actual gaming laptop and have something

that doesn't run out of battery that

quickly.

It has bigger screen and probably has

better graphics and better cooling, and

it's just a better gameplay experience.

Why would you want to put down so much

money, just have a handheld experience?

I don't think handheld experience should

really be about hardcore gaming, should be

about casual gaming and bringing it with

you on the go.

And even though it's in the name, the

Lenovo Legion Go 2, it's just not really

something I would think I'd want to bring

with me on the go.

In the car, on the train, in the plane,

I'd feel kind of embarrassed bringing out

such a big slab, such a chunky brick.

And those fans, okay, they're going to

keep the device cool, but they must be

really noisy.

And if you're on a plane where it's not

very noisy apart from the humming of the

plane— it's quite quiet inside a plane— if

those fans on the Lenovo Go 2 start going,

it's going to be kind of embarrassing.

So for those reasons, I can't really

highly recommend the Lenovo Go 2.

Over the Switch 2, mainly because it's

more than double the price of the Switch

2, and it's way thicker and way bigger and

harder to hold, and the Joy-Cons aren't

very good compared to Switch 2 Joy-Cons,

and you can't play Mario Kart on it.

That's the biggest downside of it.

And if you really want to play PC games,

then I don't know, just get a PC.

I would even recommend the Steam Deck OLED

over the Lenovo Go 2, mainly because it's

only £300 for the old one, uh, maybe £500

for the OLED one, and you get an OLED

screen and it's probably got better

battery but maybe worse graphics.

So I have to give the Lenovo Go 2 a miss,

and I would highly recommend Switch 2 as

the superior handheld gaming device with

better casual games And, um, stuff like

that.

Has it been 10 minutes yet?

Jesus fucking Christ.

Oh my God.

Oh,

I've got a headache.

Really hard doing it all in one take.

No,

this is not practice.

This is all going in the actual video

because there's no pause record button on

this app.

So for those reasons, I think the Switch 2

is just way better than the Lenovo Go 2.

I wouldn't personally buy one because I

don't want to shell out over £1,000 for an

inferior handheld gaming device.

I'd rather just get a laptop.

This must be 10 minutes already.

Check my laundry.

Toasty.

Can't reach the switch.

Oh, oh, this is still wet.

Has it been 10 minutes yet?

Oh, have you never heard of an airing

cupboard?

Never had mold ever.

At my mum's house, we always put laundry

like towels in the airing cupboard.

I

think it's been ten minutes.

Don't know.

Never had mold ever.

At my mom's house, we always put laundry

like towels in the airing cupboard.

No, no, no, no, no.

I think it's been 10 minutes.

I don't know.
