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.

Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 2

Strengths

The laptop has a high level of performance partially thanks to the Tiger Lake 10 nanometer chip.
The ram is delightfully fast, with a noticeable performance difference when compared to single channel on the debugging gen 2.
The ThinkPad T14s Gen 2 has a nice option for 4k display which makes it suitable for people who want to get their office work done.

Weaknesses

The laptop doesn't have upgradable parts except for storage, which might be a concern for Thinkpad users.
It's not built with user serviceability in mind, which might be a drawback for some users who prefer to upgrade their laptops' components themselves.
There's no mention of any noticeable differences between this model and the T14 Gen 2, making it feel like just an updated version without much innovation.
The laptop doesn't have a strong multi-tasking focus and rendering capabilities compared to other Thinkpad models.
