    Not very good for such a high price gadget. It was slower than expected and the fan was way too loud. I thought this would he the a great device for gaming but it was just an overpriced underwhelming gaming device.

    The idea for this product is good but it doesn't quite perform well enough to serve its intended purpose. The touch screen looks nice but is not quite responsive enough to replace a mouse. The virtual keyboard does not always come up when needed, and manually pulling it up is a pain. You can use a full mouse and keyboard if you plug in an adapter to one of the usb-c inputs, but at that point you have something as cumbersome as a laptop. The item description saying this has 2 full sized usb-c ports is a bit misleading, as one of those ports is needed to power the product. So it really only uas 1 input, and usb-c is not what most accessories use, so you will need an adapter of some kind to use most accessories. The biggest issue i had with this though is the power is not quite there. it played stardwew valley and fallout: new vegas fine, but it played "Return to Grace" (a walking sim) very poorly (10 fps or less) and struggled greatly when playing State of Decay 2. SoD 2 slowed to a crawl whenever i entered a building or encountered any zombies, making the game basically unplayable. Neither Return To Grace nor State of Decay 2 are super-demanding games, so it is very disappointing that the Legion Go cannot run them at an acceptable frame rate. If you fiddle with the settings you might be able to get them to play OK, but it seems like a bad sign to me to have so much trouble with only moderately demanding games. i returned this item and got a gaming laptop instead, which was about $1100, and it played State of Decay 2 absolutely great, with no fiddling with settings etc. For most gamers, I think a mid-priced gaming laptop is a better bargain and makes for a far less frustrating experience.

      Hello, ConsumerMan. We are sorry to hear that the Legion Go missed the mark for you and that you felt that you were misled, leading to you returning it. To try to address your issues, the Legion Go was designed users looking for a great gaming experience, given the titles they wish to play align with the specifications of the Legion Go, without being tied to a desk or carry a laptop. The full-function USB-C ports give users more functionality and the ability to charge in either port, two in total, matching the item description as you stated. If users want to leave these ports open more often and use peripherals, accessories like Bluetooth keyboards, mouses, and headsets can help with that. In the future, if you are having trouble with your Legion Go, please feel free to reach out for help, as each Go comes with 1-year free of Legion Ultimate Support, there for assistance for performance issues like what you encountered. We appreciate your time detailing your perspective with us, and we hope that you choose to try out the Legion Go again in the future. Lenovo

    Bought this Lenovo Go and after using a day I just returned it. The initial issue was the device is extremely laggy, gets really hot, and is loaded with apps that doesn't make sense in an hand held device. The only thing I liked was the display. Tried some games on it (most are 10-11 years old games) but they were extremely laggy with the lowest graphics settings. Not a great choice, I would rather purchase the OG Playstation VITA ifkyk ;)

    It’s a good handheld I bit heavy and awkward, I also purchased the Steam Deck. Steam Deck is better, I find myself playing the Steam Deck more.

    I would put this above the Steam Deck. Not sure about the Rog Ally. Controlls, just like Steam Deck is not the best and the Legion UI is okay. Still not as good and well polish as the Steam Decks UI but I would still choose the Legion Go.

    The LeGo has been a wonderful experience. While it has started out a bit rocky, as time has progressed the LeGo has become my favorite handheld. The software has and continues to improve week by week. Def would recommend this over the current competitors.

    The speakers are terrible. Everything was super quiet with the newest drivers. I even tried to watch Netflix and i couldn't hear the dialogue with it pressed against my head at max volume. And my ears are fine. It's also over gimmicky, with a billion annoying buttons I'll never use. The higher resolution is actually bad when youre trying to use RSR. That being said everything was workable except the speakers. They're way to quiet, you have to use headphones all the time. I'll be returning it for the Ally.

    It's really not that bad all things considered. You can't expect to run all games, all on high settings. It does require some tweaking to play. Battery life isn't too shabby, only thing i would say needs looked into is the graphics card, it's just a small 3GB card

    Great Concept, But Misses The Point

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Honestly, its a great concept but it completely misses the point. Its run smoothly more so than I thought it would Windows being its OS. However, the system lacks in specs for the price and that will make it very obsolete within a years time. Games and even more mid tier games run terrible. Really only good for very low end games like Stardew Valley and maybe Minecraft. Even spending hours of tenkering which did help some titles its just an overpriced Switch. Overall, extremely disappointed and will be returning.
