comfy and portable windows machine
niks Posted
Really great comfy handheld with some issues: -speakers are weak -battery life is not the best -touchpad is very tiny (but I am very thankful that it exists at all) -the trigger is kind of awkward to reach while using the tiny touchpad (when using it as a left click) -the usual wonkiness that comes with windows If those things don’t bother you, it’s a very great portable machine that can play whatever you throw at it from any launcher that is supported on windows! The build and buttons all feel great, it feels great to hold, and the screen size is nice. The advantage of this one is that you aren’t limited to any one thing on it. Been using it to learn a language since windows allows a lot of custom tools!

Simply amazing and better than expected.
AlixR Posted
Love the Legion go S, I thought I was going to have a difficult time because of the bad reviews with Windows OS on handheld devices. But it's been just the opposite. I haven't put down My legion go S since I got it. It goes with me everywhere except church. I was going to go with the purple one because it was cheaper and had Steam OS but I really wanted the white one. I'd recommend this device to anyone who's shopping around for a handheld PC device. Although the battery could be better, it comes with different settings to save the battery when playing on the go. Get this one, you won't regret it. I'm currently using it with a Dbrand skin and protector case. It added extra grip, stability and peace of mind in case I drop it.

Powerful and Beautiful
Paris Posted
The Legion Go S has such a grand screen but the specs are pretty top notch as well. I got this since whenever I laptop game I always plug in a xbox controller and a smaller screen is better for the visuals. When in performance mode it basically runs everything smoothly and crisp. I play wuthering waves and palworld which are very demanding games specs wise but it runs smooth as butter!! Also this device is pricey as heck so in order to get your moneys worth I reccomend dual booting steam os. Also installing emulation station on windows os. Get the 3 mounth free pc game pass and then use your 1 month ultimate game pass (xbox). But once you have this bad baby your set for the next gen of gaming. Hopefully its possible to change the chip to Z2 Extreme in the future though.. Follow me on discord milktea06. (with period) if you have any questions

Worth every Cent
Hassein Posted
Everything id want a pc to do smushed into a handheld. Absolute 10/10. Runs any game I throw at it smoothly while also able to handle things like video editing. Only downsides are the steep price and the battery life but I haven’t regretted it since I got it.

Honestly such a handheld device its super powerful it is able to handle mutiple modded games with ease super clean lighting and you can connect your playstation controller via bluetooth if you even wanted too. It comes with a cardbourd stand so u can place it on a table and watch a movie which i thought was super nice. I havent even touched my playstation 5 sense i got this thing 5 stars all around.

Amazing gaming device
Lano Posted
Previosly have had the ROG ally and OG legion go. I can say this one is my favorite so far. I loved the bigger screen of the OG go but hated the detached controllers so the Go S is perfect with bigger screen and the device being one whole thing. Definitely recommend this to any gamers out there

Great Device. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go with this product or the Legion Go 2. But I am happy with my decision the portability and the weight of the device is good. Comfortable to hold in my hands. The games play great on it. This is my first handheld PC. Very happy with it.

Premium handheld gaming.

High quality device. Probably the best handheld gaming device available that also works as a computer. It's almost unbelieveable that this thing can run Space Marine 2 seemlessly with the correct settings.

Good with some caveats
Dman Posted
Performance is decent, compares close to the Ally X when plugged in, but balanced mode leaves a bit to be desired compared to the 17w equivalent on the Ally X. The screen is great, and a welcome bump up from the Steam Deck OLED (800p) and the 7” Ally X. Speakers being moved to the front was also a great change. Unfortunately, thats where my praise ends. The sticks are in an odd position, offset from the standard Xbox layout, while the hall effect feels great, this makes it hard to reach the “up” and “left” dpad options fast, and the “ABXY” is a reach on the right. Triggers have low travel and at the time of writing this, the hair triggers don’t work due (a known driver issue). Lenovo is also still running extremely out of date GPU drivers, so Doom The Dark Ages and Last of Us 2 are unplayable. I’d hoped the shift to a landscape panel would reduce the barrier for them to update as often, but it hasn’t. Legion Space also still has a LONG way to go to rival Armory Crate, which itself is awful. Secondary buttom mapping isn’t and option yet, and the current secondary bindings are odd (legion button + right thumbstick for Xbox Guide… ridiculous). The battery is just not great, lasting 90-120 minutes unless running indie titles. Finally, the usb-c ports are too close together, meaning accessories still require a hub to use - I can’t power the device and plug in a headset dongle due to this. TLDR: It’s a nice device and an improvement over the original Legion GO, but still leaves a lot to be desired.

Best gaming handheld I have had. Screen looks great, Games run smooth, ergonomics feels great. I had a legion go that is also good and screen is amazing but ran slow and lag on some aaa game's. The legion go s with the bigger 32gb made a difference for the aaa games

Great Handheld at a reasonable price (price match)
General3Dots Posted
Just got this item when there was a sale going on and price matched it. The battery life is in between Rog Ally and Ally X but what this has going for it is hall effect joysticks in addition to a more battery friendly yet amazing display compared to Legion Go. Z1 Extreme is also still a pretty powerful chip and unlike 24gb of Ally X Ram this has 32gb so you can have a much larger VRam which gives major FPS boost in games. Best part is this comes with Windows and best buy offers 1 month of xbox ultimate pass and lenovo offers 3 months of pc game pass which is a saving of ~$60. If you dont like windows you could easily install Steam OS on it too which is fully supported since there is a Steam OS version of this device with same specs already. So far very happy with it. Switched from Steam Deck LCD and is a major upgrade.

Lenovo Legion Go S is a winner
James Posted
A pretty great device. Only things I would like to add is a larger battery to at least 70 wh, maybe an oled screen (which would only increase the price of the device even more), better speakers, deeper triggers, and a more softer touch and less clicky sound to the 4 buttons near the top of the device; the 2 buttons that sit on either side of the screen which are the view, menu, Legion L, and Legion R buttons. I love the size of the screen. Any larger and it would be too unwieldy for me. 8 in is the largest I'll go for a handheld. i also love the smoothness of the thumbsticks and the feel of the face buttons. The directional buttons are ok. Not bad but nothing exceptional. I enjoy using this device and it's an overall fanstastic device.

Great handheld

Works like a charm! Plays everything I want to take on the go with no issue. The only problem I have is the battery life is terrible when playing high end games. But other than that it's an amazing handheld.

Upgrade Over Rog Ally’s Screen
Karlos91 Posted
I own both of the Rog Ally and the Ally x. One thing that I disliked about the Rogs was the screen size especially for games like diablo 4. I decided to give Lenovo a try and it did not disaapoint me so far. The screen is big and beatiful. The system itself feels more premium and even with a smaller battery is enougn for me. The hall effect sticks keeps me at ease in terms of using it. I upgraded the storage to 4tb and you can add a 2280 to it. Just make sure to watch a tutorial before opening it and either clone your drive or have a stick that lenovo guides you. Lenovo does not have the online set up when installing a new sdd. I love my Legion Go S.

Legion Go S
RomelS Posted
It has an excellent screen and solid hardware, but it has short battery life if you are going to play for longer hours. It’s best for gamers who want a bigger screen and Windows flexibility, but not the best value overall compare to other handheld games.
