Sitting down to enjoy some Spider-Man, I was greeted with a warning telling me that my drivers were out of date and there may be problems with how the game runs. I had already run through all of the available Windows updates, so I assumed that everything had already been pulled in. I quickly noticed that there didn't seem to be any options in Legion Space for updating the drivers of the device. Even in Legion Space, you can download different game stores like Rockstar, Epic Games, and Steam, which was also a pretty good sign. This is nothing out of the ordinary, and it packs an overlay that you can use to modify TDP and other settings while in a game, along with a dedicated launchpad to start your applications from. The Legion Go packs a software suite dubbed 'Legion Space', and it functions exactly the same way as the likes of AYA Space on Ayaneo devices and Armory Crate on the Asus ROG Ally. I expected with that initial level of attention to detail I was in for a good time. Where to begin with the Lenovo Legion Go's software? I've spoken to death about how bad the software experience typically is on many Windows handhelds, so I was pleasantly surprised when, out of the box, the Legion Go had the display scaling modified to better suit a smaller screen. The controllers take a second to connect and disconnect, but it's been a seamless experience that you can tell Lenovo put a lot of time into. Due to the positioning of the right controller as well, trying to disconnect it often in results in accidentally pressing down the power button as it's where my other hand will naturally grip, which is also frustrating. I haven't had much of an issue with that, but the controllers are needlessly difficult to disconnect and then keep connected to the handheld. The Legion Go's biggest selling point in its design is the detachable controllers, which promise a Switch-like experience.

However, for other aspects of this handheld, particularly the hard plastic shell used for the controllers, the device feels cheap.

For the parts that matter, like the stand and the joysticks, Lenovo has invested money into good-quality materials. Lenovo has managed to target a similar price target to the Asus ROG Ally with more features inside, and I think part of how the company has achieved that is through the build quality.
