Lenovo Legion Go 8.8-inch
Score: 78/100
iBUYPOWER Y40 PRO
Score: 90/100Rankings
The Y40 PRO blends a high-performance Ryzen 7 7800X3D with an RTX 5060Ti in a compact, glass-front chassis, offering strong gaming and VR capabilities out of the box. Noise, limited expandability, and a non-modular PSU keep it from being a true premium build.
The Legion Go is a premium Windows handheld with a standout 8.8" 144 Hz display and strong AMD Z1 Extreme performance, but its weight and modest battery life limit long-form handheld sessions.
