Lenovo Legion C700 cloud-handheld debate continues

Lenovo’s Legion C700 cloud-handheld debate continues, and the bigger question is bigger than Lenovo: are major hardware makers using streaming-first handhelds as a shortcut around rising device costs? The concern is obvious. Cloud handhelds can be cheaper and lighter, but they depend on connection quality, platform availability and subscription logic. Native handhelds cost more but give players more control.

GamesRadar’s criticism frames the C700 as the wrong answer to a worsening handheld price situation, at least based on current details. Full specs are still expected later, so there is room for surprise. But the market is already opinionated, and cloud-only devices always enter with trust issues.
