Pros and Cons

Lenovo Legion Go S

Strengths

The Lenovo Legion Go S has a much more powerful chipset than its initial Windows 11 version, making it one of the best handheld gaming PCs on the market.
It can handle demanding games like Monster Hunter Wilds and Cyberpunk 2077 with ease, even at high resolutions and settings.
With 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory and a bigger GPU with 12 graphics cores, it outperforms the Steam Deck in most games and benchmarks.
The Legion Go S's performance leads to much smoother gaming experiences, with average frame rates more than double those of the Steam Deck in some cases.
It has a sleek design that makes navigating the operating system (licensed from Steam OS) relatively easy compared to its initial Windows 11 version.

Weaknesses

The Legion Go S's battery life is somewhat compromised due to its powerful chipset, with gameplay lasting only about an hour and a half at high resolutions.
Lowering the resolution or limiting power can help extend battery life, but this may not be ideal for those who want to play games at native resolutions.
In more demanding games like Monster Hunter Wilds, the Steam Deck's performance was slightly better than the Legion Go S when played at 1200p resolution.
The Legion Go S's power-hungry chipset means it won't last as long in battery-intensive applications or games compared to the Steam Deck.
Its powerful chipset also means that the Legion Go S may not be as suitable for everyday mobile computing tasks, potentially limiting its appeal.

Huawei MateBook 14s

It can last a whole day's work as long as you're only running office-related tasks such as web browsing, emails, and writing documents

Weaknesses

Charging takes about one hour to reach 0 to 80 percent with an additional 37 minutes of trickle charging to reach a full 100 percent
The laptop might have some issues handling more demanding tasks or games, especially if you're not willing to adjust the settings for each game

Lenovo Legion Go S

The Lenovo Legion Go S is a handheld gaming PC that's making waves as a legitimate Steam Deck alternative.

With 32GB of RAM and a bigger GPU, it offers a superior gaming experience, but at the cost of reduced battery life - a trade-off many gamers may be willing to make.

Huawei MateBook 14s
