But in contrast to those, it avoids standing out at all costs.

66% Lenovo Legion Go gaming handheld review: Good idea, not quite perfectly executed

Detachable: The Lenovo Legion Go is a different kind of detachable. Instead of removing the keyboard, on this device, you simply take off both of its controllers—turning the gaming handheld into a tablet. Its FPS mode is particularly interesting, which transforms the controllers into a mouse and keyboard. Unfortunately, not everything ran smoothly in our test.
