Professional reviewers commend the Switch's hybrid versatility, highlighting the detachable Joy-Con's flexibility, HD Rumble, and gyro motion controls as key strengths, while noting the original Joy-Con's analog stick drift and the LCD display are drawbacks compared to newer models.
Everyday users frequently praise the vibrant Neon colors, easy multiplayer setup, and immersive rumble and motion features, especially for on-the-go and family gaming. Recurring complaints focus on analog stick drift, charging inconvenience, shorter battery life, and the LCD's lower contrast versus OLED screens.
Professional reviewers commend the Legion Go 2 for its premium OLED display, powerful Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor, and robust emulation capabilities, but they caution that its 2.38 lb weight and power-hungry high-resolution screen may limit its appeal for users prioritizing portability and battery endurance.
Everyday users love the vivid OLED visuals, strong performance in AAA titles and emulation, and the longer battery life, yet they frequently mention the handset's heaviness, bulkier size, and the clunky Windows 11 UI as pain points during extended play.
