Legion go S z2 500 Gb
I like this version of legion go. It comes with SteamOs. Turn it on and you got steam running can load up games quick with no hassle. I bought the 500GB and decided to upgrade my storage. I was able to dual-boot into windows got Fortnite to about 100 fps. This device is cool, you can take it anywhere. I’m able to run bo3 zombies and expedition 33 with ease. It’s really good for indie games. Does drain battery with high performance games but does it slowly. You get to game for a couple hours which is good. The fan does sound a little loud but it’s okay, kids are louder.

Best Possible Streaming Device in 2025
Steam Deck 2 who?? Oh right the Legion Go S Z2 that’s who! This device is a beast! Native SteamOS should be standard for all handhelds. I use it for streaming games from my main PC. These x86 devices are designed for streaming and it shows when you can use them in person. I can stream 1920x1200 for hours on end without having to worry about battery life. When emulating retro games you can also expect insane battery life. However for actual pc games expect 1hr 30min on avg. but again I believe GoS was made for streaming and it does it so incredibly well. Bright and beatiful LCD screen which puts my OLED iPhone 16 to shame. Nice controls, the trackpad works really surprisingly well for how small it is and good haptics. Streaming is the future and the future is here with the legion go s! (Case, Stickers, and thumb sticks all from dbrand.)

Great alternative
I was very pleased with the Steamos version of the Legion Go S Z2Go model. It runs great, easy to get into desktop mode and install other software, and most importantly you don’t have to deal with microsoft windows. I had a Rog Ally and returned it because of windows. Considered getting rhe Ally X, but once again I hate windows even with software like Playnite, which was not a good alternative. The 55 watt battery life can suffer if you’re playing more demanding games such as Skyrim or one of my recent favorites, South of Midnight. For what it is though, I appreciate Lenovo working with Valve to bring this handheld. Still not completely happy with the current pricing for handhelds, including this one but I bought it open box. Future handhelds: better battery life and affordability.
