I recently got my hands on the Lenovo Legion Go, and it’s been a game-changer for my portable gaming experience. The design is sleek, and it’s packing a powerful AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor that handles even the most demanding games effortlessly. The 8.8-inch QHD+ display is stunning, making everything look vibrant and crisp.
One of my favorite features is the ergonomic controls and detachable controllers—they make long gaming sessions so much more comfortable. The battery life is pretty solid too but does depend on whatever games you'll be playing, and the cooling system works great, so I haven’t had any issues with overheating.
It’s a bit on the pricey side, but if you’re a serious gamer looking for a high-performance handheld device, the Legion Go is definitely worth considering.

Amazing price! when i was questioning whether to buy it best buy pulled through and showed me the best price i could ask for! compared to others, it was at least 200 off. Overall, aside from the price the item itself is something i use daily. It holds an amazing performance which hosts the games i play easily and smoothly. Anyways, thank you lenovo and best buy both!

Detachable controllers is amazing with the built in stand, its the best feature on the legion go. Besides that it could handle AAA games pretty well. The 8” screen is amazing, immersive gaming experience.

So many things make this device stand out above the competition to me. The screen is gorgeous, and that size difference helps a ton. The detachable controllers are way more useful than a gimmick... To top it off, it has TWO USB4 ports. This thing can serve as a decently capable mobile workstation with the addition of a keyboard, mouse, cheap USBC dock, and cheap portable monitor!
I wasn't sure if I'd really use it... But I haven't played a game in my desktop since I got it. The convenience of playing on the couch or in bed is amazing.
You can also score some 3d printed comfort grips on Etsy that make it tons more cozy to hold.

Great device, it’s not for people that had no experience with pc gaming, this is a handheld pc not a console, I have been using it 60% of the time to work, and 40% to game, this device is 237% more powerful than my core i7 11 nth gen work laptop, and I can notice the massive difference in performance, I expanded the storage woth a 1tb microSD and I have installed more games in it, no problem gaming on an microSD. Way better than the ROG Ally, and perfect screen, it is little heavy, but you get used to it as it is very comfortable in the grip

Absolutely perfect for someone who already has a dedicated gaming Desktop or Laptop.
This is a product you’d ideally get if you already know how Microsoft Windows works and how to navigate and trouble shoot a PC. It’s amazing for the value and is simply so far ahead when compared to the ASUS ROG Ally. I have both and find this one to be a better bang for your buck if you’re torn between the two. The bigger screen and more ways to play portably make it hard to go back to the ASUS ROG Ally.
For gaming, it’s great, not amazing when compared to a dedicated maxed out PC but the fact it’s ‘great’ compared to one is an absolute achievement and makes this product feel magical.
All games in the screenshot have been playable perfectly fine.

I wanted the ability to play literally any game I choose from the past 50 years. Now I can. Modern triple A titles and any classic you can think of. Beautiful display and hi fidelity graphics. Unplugged on max setting, you get 1.5 hours with modern games like Cyberpunk2077 or Reddead redemption 2. Playing games like Everquest or World of Warcraft net about 4.8 hours of play time. A modern phone with a hotspot is very helpful for connecting games that require authentication. Simply disconnect once your game is running. The unit can go into sleep mode, which works very well.

Pros - good improvement from the steam deck and if you want windows for the freedom of playing any game you really want. Its great for that and the detachable controllers/kickstand is a bonus. Screen is nice and big but when you cut it down to 800p it looks terrible. Runs cool and fan noise can get high up there. . . The cons for me- terrible speakers like actually awful ive never heard speakers this bad actually and I'm pretty cheap testing out speakers under $10. Windows 11 is just a pain for handhelds, the freedom is there but you're in pain for it. The controllers are slightly worse with sharp edges and sd card slot is a little weirdly out. Not flushed with the device

First My laptop is an Legion 5 Pro 2022. Love the Legion Go on the go. Only a few weeks of use so far Love it. Bought the Insignia 140w charger it works fine with the Go. Like every new system that is released, bugs are bound to happen. From Console gamer PS5, PS Vita, and Gen 1 switch to just starting PC gamer began using Lenovo Legion gaming line.
Yes I will upgrade to an 2TB ssd next 2 months or so, have an TeamGroup micro sd 1TB installed for my music and video files.
I bought the Go over Steam Deck because of the bigger screen, switch like controls, the 2nd usb c(bottom might be a bad location), Kick stand, and like the feel of the unit.
Only con is the speakers, got my headphones and/or earbuds to take care of that problem.

So much power in a hand held device and the display is gorgeous. I cried when I saw it run cyberpunk in decent frames. This is the 4th handheld device I have owned and used after Gameboy Advance, PSP and Switch. The upgrade is insane.
Battery life isnt top notch but can’t complain.

My take on The Legion Lenovo Go

Love how compact and compatible the Lenovo go really is. I mean take it anywhere play with data on 5G and it runs Call of duty smoothly. At home with dual monitors works wanders. I’ve live streamed Rainbow Six Siege, call of duty and several other games no lag no choppy image. The display is crazy with its performance modes and 144GH display. Running 144FPS on COD. This thing has so much to offer I 100% recommend. Not to mention you get 1TB of SSD. I will say the controllers could be better with the analog sticks but the FPS is a pretty cool feature but gotta get use to the mouse.

Best device I’ve ever purchased hands down. I did buy it open box for more than the price of it brand new a month later. Hoping Best Buy can potentially accommodate but either way the device I bought was in near excellent condition and a 1 tb. Display is great the only gripe I have is with battery life. With some research you’ll find out the rog all x has double the battery life but you’re sacrificing the detachable controllers and the huge screen so you pick!

I have previously owned a steam deck and and rog ally ,I have to say I I love this device.I had to buy a second one for my wife ,since we are trying to be more on the GO in life ,no pun intended.The fps mode is odd ,but honestly The coolest thing ever ,some games I can no longer go back to using a normal controller. Mad scientist at the Lenovo team I tell you.Gosh The Amazing Display .honestly knocked it out of the park when they made it .Best handheld on the market .If you know longer want to be stuck at the dreaded gaming desk ,this is the way to go .Hook up a decent eGPU to this bad boy with your preem thunderbolt port and your pretty much have a desktop on the go .Buy this product and live your life gamers .

Very good handheld gaming. You just have to learn how to use it meaning how to optimize the games for the best performance. Overall one of the best handheld gaming devices out there. Battery life is pretty short that’s why I’m giving it a 4 star but other than that everything is great!

The hardware is really good. The 8 inch display is beautiful and it has a powerful chip set to run the most demanding games. The biggest drawback to the system is windows, which is not designed for mobile gaming. The other thing is the size and weight can be a little taxing to hold so using the kickstand is a must.

This device is the most useful tool I've had in a while. Full windows supported by strong graphics, 1600p 144hz big and bright. If someone told me it was OLED, I'd believe them. It's not, however. I've installed many, many games on my 1 tb ssd and many less modern games on the additional SD card. Games run smoothly, obviously not as good as a dedicated gaming pc, but really strong and I am happy with how smooth it feels. Although heavy, I find holding it is surprisingly comfortable. The FPS mode, utilizing the right controller as a fully functioning mouse is better than I thought it could be. With a Bluetooth keyboard I am off to browsing the internet and sending emails in seconds. So happy with my LeGo!
