Over the past few years, gaming handhelds have exploded in popularity. And with each new iteration, we are seeing performance and ergonomic improvements that have pushed them as a serious alternative for gaming on the go. After all, if you can carry a portable device like the Lenovo Legion Go S for casual gaming indulgence, why bother lugging around a bulky laptop?
