"I got to say that these ergonomics actually make it a lot easier to hold."
"I feel like with this handheld, I don't need those additional grips."
"I find this to be probably one of the more comfortable options that we have today."

"we are looking at, you know, 20 plus g of additional weight."
"it's not a very beautiful handheld... a lot of people were saying it was ugly and I agree."
"now they are below... and that is a little bit awkward for me."

"in terms of ergonomics, I think this is the best feeling handheld that ASUS has made. The extra grips do give it about 30 g of additional weight, but I think that is easily offset by how comfortable they are."
"by using a TDP that is about only 56% of the one up top, I'm getting 13.5% better performance. In other words, you can save battery life and still get better performance on the Xbox LAX"
"I think what you can expect on average for a lot of these lightweight games is going to be somewhere between 8 and 10 hours of battery life. And that's mostly thanks to that larger battery of 80 W hours."

"$1,000 sticker price. And that is just a tough pill to swallow. I mean, $800 last year for the Alli X was really expensive. And now we're adding an additional $200"
"they are quite loud. Probably one of the loudest buttons I've ever seen on a handheld PC."
"at least as of making this video, I find the whole Xbox full screen experience to be very clunky"
Nintendo
[+] Praised
"It's got a better processor"
"It's got a bigger screen"
"if you're in the market between a Switch One and a Switch 2, I think the Switch 2 is an easy choice there for $110 more. You're going to get a lot better hardware"
[-] Criticised
"if you've already got a Switch One, I'm not really sure it's going to be worth an additional $450 to upgrade to this one"
"with the launch of the Switch 2, we have been seeing game prices go up... standard games are now $70. And then premium games like Mario Kart World are now going for 80, which I think is a really high price point"
"except for the analog sticks. These feel very limiting, kind of stunted. They are essentially the same mechanism as they were on the Switch One"

"I like that it's nice and compact and also it detaches from the USB cable, which means that if something happens to the cable, it's easy to replace."
"last night I tested with a variety of different charging bricks and cables, and all of them charged my Switch 2, no problem."
"it's very rounded at the top and the bottom as opposed to the original Switch which was a little bit rounded but not this much."
[-] Criticised
"the mechanism still feels very same in that it just kind of flops over to one side or the other as opposed to a true analog stick which actually rotates at the base."
"you're not going to have an analog input. It's either on or off... This might become a problem when it comes to emulating GameCube games."
"using this in mouse mode on its own, I don't really feel it. Like, I feel like this thing flops over way too easily."
Lenovo
[+] Praised
"The big star of the show with this handheld is the display. It is 8.8 in with a resolution of 1920x 1200. ... it's an OLED panel with a variable refresh rate display that goes all the way up to 144 hertz."
"The big change are the controls. And I think that these are better in just about every single way."
"Under the hood, we're seeing some improvements, too. About a 15 to 20% performance gain over the previous model."
[-] Criticised
"this has a significant price increase. It's almost double the price of the original Lenovo Legion Go."
"to me, it does not justify that $600 price increase from the original one at retail price."
"additional battery does mean additional weight. So now it is 920 g as opposed to around 850 on the previous model. ... this does make it one of the heaviest handhelds on the market right now."
