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.

Excellet device for entry into the handheld space
Very solid little device, shines best when you dual boot windows to have acces to some anticheat games. Absolutely great ergonomics best feeling handheld to carry by far. Dont expect the world from this thing, its small and lightweight and you cant expect to be running 4k 60 on AAA titles but if ypu manage expectations will you have a great experience with this device. SteamOS runs fantastic by default, windows is eh but functional. Easy to expand storage if need be and battery life is solid for what it is. If your looking for a solid handheld for a decent price. This is it, great screen, great ergonomics, beautiful design.

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.
