Legion go
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best handheld I ever had. Awesome graphics and the extreme version make a big difference. Definitely worth the money, if this legion go is perfect, can only imagine getting the legion go 2.

Fantastic unit with a couple flaws
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is a lot to love about this handheld, picture quality is outstanding. Build quality is great. It plays pretty much every AAA game, though the most demanding will require lowering graphical settings. The one thing that I really am not happy with is the button placement. The buttons on the side of the right controller are just in the way. You can't help but hit them with your palm all the time. Now they don't do anything in handheld mode, but it's still uncomfortable and annoying hitting the two side buttons all the time. Annoying enough that I will be returning my unit and sticking with Rog Ally and Steam Deck. Also, it's heavy, a little to heavy for me. But popping out the kickstand and using detached controllers does alleviate that and is very fun to play that way, though unless your using fps mode, your still hitting those darn side buttons.

Posted .Hi Jenniferl-
Thank you for choosing Lenovo and sharing your experience with us. We are happy to hear that you are enjoying the Legion Go. We aim to offer great user experience, and we would like to recommend a few actions to improve your battery life.
Firstly, we recommend running and installing all available drivers updates through Legion Space, these updates are crucial to the device’s health and power consumption leading to improved battery life. To check for updates within Legion Space begin by launching the application, then click "Disks and Drivers" located at the bottom of the display, then select "Check for Updates".
The Legion Go can also adjust the active performance profile and fan speed of the device based on your needs. To start press the hexagonal options key located on the right controller, then select the performance tab represented by the gauge symbol, from here you can adjust the performance mode. We suggest using Quiet mode which will enhance battery life. You can also toggle this at any time by holding down the hexagonal Steam button and tapping the Y button.
Please reach out to us through the Q & A section of this product webpage if you have any questions or need any assistance.
Best wishes,
Lenovo

Watch for overheating
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The device runs well. Screen looks amazing. Can run gamepass, steam and epic games since you are running windows. My one issue is the thermals on the device. Some games require you to set the fans to max or the device randomly shuts off

Best handheld in the market right now
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lenovo really grew in my eyes way more than any other PC companies A lot of people got legion go too early on launch and gave it kinda bad review. Like other handhelds also had horrible launch like ally and deck. Today That's not the case as we speak the device updated and fixed a lot with updates almost every week since launch and now it's the best handheld gaming PC. Best screen best performance of all other handheld. Iv tested it with a lot of games emulators everything runs on medium - high graphics smooth. I'm glad I got this instead of steam. I wanted windows not Linux this might be a PRO instead of CON for some. If you know how to deal with windows then this is the best device in the market if you don't know anything about windows then other handheld might be better for you

Amazing
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this item mainly because the life cycle of the switch is coming to an end and thought why not?? After all the driver updates and window updates i finally turned it on and played cyberpunk on the go and being that i live on the ocean for three weeks at a time the legion go has been a life saver. With most triple A games ive been getting roughly between 55-70 FPS ON AVG. The battery life is kinda rough maybe you can get 2 hours out of it with some games. But in general i am very satisfied with the purchase. I would highly recommend it for anyone interested in getting a hand held you will not be dissappinted.

Legion go still rocks
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great device the only thing sometimes the economics hurts the hand of it and battery. Life could be better, but for what it is, I’d say it’s the best one out for the timeframe.

AMAZING POWERFUL GAMING HANDHELD!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was thinking of getting a gaming laptop, but decided to put my money into the Lenovo Legion Go instead! This powerful portable device with a HUGE 8.8" screen is the perfect way to play games when I'm traveling, or just wanna wind down in bed with some games. I love that it runs on Windows as well, so if I did need to go onto Youtube, or check my emails, I'm able to as well just through the Legion Go. The kickstand and detachable joysticks are an amazing way to play games as well. Only issue is, the battery life isn't super long. I can maybe get 2-3 hours max out of it, but I'd imagine you'd have an outlet to recharge wherever you were gaming on the go, so it's not a huge issue to me. Love this device! Would highly recommend it to people thinking of a gaming laptop alternative.

Good x86 handheld
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m happy with my Legion Go. Its my first x86 handheld. I like the 8.8 inch screen. Lenovo still needs to do more software updates for it, the device still freshly new. This is expected and Lenovo did mention their plans for doing upcoming updates. I also saw some videos on youtube that Chimera(Steam linux) can be loaded to it, so it should be interesting having that in dual boot later once that becomes more stable. To me it seems like the fan is quiet. I keep my device on balanced power mode and i can game for 2 hours and half then I’ll be reaching for the charger. I’m hoping future software updates help improve battery life more.

Great handheld game console
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great for on the go gaming, with decent battery life. Buy an external battery for extended gaming experience. Can handle games pretty good. I played cyberpunk, destiny 2, nba 2k24 and allan wake and it could handle those games easily.

Arrived dead on arrival
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Can't say much, came in and was dead of arrival, I have the Steam Deck, and MSi Claw 7 ai+, one thing with what I did see for the Legion Go is it felt cheap, controllers didn't feel like there was much to them, and just charging it to attempt to turn it on it was very hot to the touch. From what I saw in the recovery and bios the screen was nice. But just felt like a lottery especially after looking at others and it seems like its a pretty common issue with many being refurbished for similar issues.

A whole lot packed in a very compact package
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device is remarkable good. Is capable of running contemporary games very well at quite high resolution/detail level. It's truly portable (much smaller than a laptop) but can be used as a perfect alternative to a gaming laptop, because it has a full-grown windows. Xbox controllers run over bluetooth with no special configuration required, which makes it a very good alternative for gamers that don't like the built-in controllers. It's capable of connecting to a full monitor (over USB-C), which makes it a very convenient travel companion. Battery doesn't last very long, but that can be expected of such a small device running at high performance to deliver an experience that's comparable to an actual full-size console.

Zero hassle Zero complaints !
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was such a great deal as an open box, and it was in excellent condition as advertised. Lenovo has a great program that honors the date of purchase of your open box product and starts your warranty from the date you bought it, not the date that product was first sold. Super happy with this. People complain about the controllers or the weight, but I did not find either of those things to be an issue if I simply rested my hands on my lap while gaming.

Windows tablet with gaming capabilities
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are looking for a Windows tablet that can also play modern games, this is your new best friend. Some may find the full fledged Windows experience too much for a gaming focused device, but I love that I can use this with a bluetooth keyboard/mouse and use this as a small laptop. I would say this device is worth 5 stars in my experience, but it does have some drawbacks compared to the competition. If you want a full console like experience, a Steam deck is a better choice. The Asus ROG ally also has more up to date drivers and support, at the time of this writing. However, I love the removable controllers, kickstand, touchpad for mouse support, and the huge screen of this device.

Returned due to multiple disappointments
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Big, bulky, uncomfortable to use, and full of gimmicks. I’m sure this is sufficient for many users, but I found it to be uncomfortable to use and lacking a decent battery. Legion Space isn’t great, drivers are woefully out of date, and the portrait display creates a lot of issues with older games and overlays. I found the sticks to be small and uncomfortable, and FPS mode adds extra buttons to the controller while also defeating the purpose of a handheld device. I ended up returning the GO, but as a positive, the screen is gorgeous.
