Turns out that pointing out flaws in a handheld some folks staked their entire personality on leads them to calling me fat and stupid 🤷♂️

Wrapping up my AYN Thor review this weekend. Using it back-to-back with the Sugar 1 really highlights how little effort AYN put into making the Thor a quality dual screen handheld.

This week, we take a look at the (underrated) AMD Z2 Go Lenovo Legion Go S. While it's not the best handheld money can buy, it's a perfect illustration that you also probably don't need the best handheld money can buy.

$600 for a base handheld is a lot, but it also feels in line with offerings from Lenovo and Valve.
Still, it'd be a great time for older Z1 and Z1 Extreme handhelds to start selling for heavy discounts.

On paper, it should be a fantastic controller, easy to recommend.
In practice...it leaves a lot to be desired.
