Customer Ratings & Reviews

Fantastic little device! Performs very well, and the SteamOS is a very nice addition adding a clean, user-friendly, snappy interface. Plays pretty much every game that I throw at it.

Excellent device, colors are spectacular, love the ergonomics. Pleasant to hold and use for old and new games alike. Battery works well too if you adjust your TDP you can get 4-5 hours depending on game.I am quite happy with this device

Very capable handheld. Love the steamos capability. Battery life could be better, but i can still get a couple hours between charges

Over all its a decent handheld. Plays AAA games well, but they absolutely destroy its battery life. Which really is its biggest flaw, playing even older AAA games eat battery even while plugged in. Over all though I am happy with the ourchase. Honestly probably the best handheld I could get for under $1000 USD.

I was debating on getting this or the one with detachable controllers and chose this one. Didn’t really have the need for the detachable controllers and I like the way this one felt in my hands better. It was a little confusing first starting off but one started it’s amazing. Graphics are smooth and steam is easily accessible. If trying to decide between the two, I would say this is like the getting the lite version of the switch. Highly recommended.

Lenovo has made a very comfortable and powerful (If you select the Z1e version) handheld. The battery life could be better, but if not running AAA games its fine. Screen is AMAZING!

I absolutely love my Lenovo Legion Go S Z1E SteamOS. I can play my huge Steam backlog now. Very comfortable ergonomics, the best yet. Vibrant display & great controls. I prefer SteamOS over Windows due to bloat & performance. Makes this the perfect handheld in my opinion.

An excellent gaming platform with Steam OS. Pros Excellent screen Portable-ish (see cons) 1 Tb of storage Connects to every bluetooth device fir us jeybosrd and mouse gamers Plays AAA titles decently Plays older titles excellently! Doesn't get too hot Comfortable to hold Can throw in my bag Connects to my Viture Luma Pro as is! Connects to portable OLED panel as is! Dedicated 1/8 inch audio for headphones Less updates than Windows version Provided charger charges pretty fast Seamless integration with Steam Platform Can play offline Upscaling techniques are pretty convincing with most titles Cons Battery life is too short for portability (maybe an hour without high wattage power pack of at least 100 Watt Hours at 65 watt charging Textures at reduced quality and resolution at 1080P Not for other uses than gaming, web browsing Can't change sound from device to Viture Luma Pro Only two USB C thunderbolt ports Screen is LED vs OLED Upscaling is muddy with some titles For the price, it should have a carrying case For gamers who can sacrifice some visual quality to take your Steam library with you, it's awesome. Paired with my XR glasses, it's a portable gamer's paradise, especially for long flights. Since I bought this unit, I haven't turned on my gaming computer!

This great for on the go and casual gaming at home. The screen looks great and runs some indie games better than a console can. SteamOS makes it feel like a handheld more than a PC but it still allows PC customization. The Black Friday Sale made the price perfect

This is the current best SteamOS device by far, the screen is excellent, the size is manageable, and the power of the Z1E is incredible without windows holding it back. All that said battery life is lackluster at best bad at worst and Lenovo makes a lot of poor design choices with their devices. Going into sleep mode leaves the power button flashing infinitely. You have to take off buttons and find hidden screws to change the storage or unplug certain elements to reach others. And it’s sooooo expensive. It’s a solid device that just has a ton of small issues that can really add up into big problems for some

This console is the much needed boost for the Steam Deck. I really like the performance and the size of the screen, looks gorgeous. Controls are also nice, high quality. The plastic of the case and the finish feel cheap. But the console is well built, is just how it feels in the hands. The only two downsides? 1. The speakers... The literally just suck. Not sure if there will be some sort of algorithm to make them better or is just the quality of them. Compared to Ally X or MSI Claw 8, this has nothing to do in front of them. 2. It feels kind of late in the game...What I mean is that the Z2 Extreme Xbox Ally and for sure more models as well are about to launch late this year. Reason why this will fill the gap just for a few months, then, off to buy the newest toy.

I originally purchased the Z2go edition with 512gb ssd, and 16gb and found it was severely lacking in performance for what i wanted. Returned it i purchased this one and ive been extremely happy with the upgrade. Its handled everything i thrown at it very well. My only complaint is battery life when playing demanding title. Other than that 9/10 solid handheld pc.

Good little machine and is very comparable to the Rog Ally X in power but due to the fact it is a Steam OS it priorities games alot better but dont get me wrong there are good and bad between the two one is power consumption, but I mainly play them connected to the power source. If you like to play windows games and more outside the steam OS then I would recommend the ROG Ally X but if you are looking for it wait until Oct. as the new model with Xbox is coming out and I suspect sales will be happing but ether path I always say do your research as both won't play everything but I would take this Legion Go and the Rog Ally X over MSI machines (steam deck is also a choice but comparing to new machines) due to setup of software and control schemes defaults on games as MSI Claw 7 AI + (I had but gave it up) is very powerful but the software and extensive lag in response with bringing up the settings bar for configuration was a pain. I play manly Indi titles not triple AAA games on any of these as I want the TV or computer monitor with decent settings, but I am aware I could, but decisions are personal. Also The steam OS on this is very nice as when you look at games on steam if it shows the blue mark then this will play it and so fare the game that has been a challenge at this time (though limited) is playing Victora 3 on this. Also I have both the Z1 Extreme and the Z2 Go edition (Z2 go edition I got a few months ago and was the only one available) Z2 go saves on power but at a cost of a down grade of the detail settings on games and yes the 16 gb and 32 gb does provide the extra difference as well but if reference to the Asus Rog ally x with the 24 that is still my primary system for many games outside the steam area.

Runs very well - been doing a lot of emulation and programming on it. The controls work very well. It does feel big in your hands, but very quick to get used to it

Specs alone don’t do this device justice, it actually is a huge leap from all the other handheld PC devices I owned and tried to get working properly be it performance-wise, ergonomics, or annoyances like fan noise, this device truly has everything I was looking for in a gaming PC handheld. I sold all of my past devices long ago and am selling now off my Steam Deck immediately since getting the new Legion Go S with Steam OS. Well done Lenovo!

I upgraded from the steam deck and I am way happier with this product! It runs steam OS flawlessly and effortlessly gets up to 60fps in most games!

Got this because I wanted an alternative to laptop/pc gaming and it’s honestly a beast- great performance speeds, graphics are very good, and it doesn’t overheat. The battery is decent, I get prob 2 hours on a high performance game before needing to charge, but recharges fast. Overall I recommend.

Great performer! Beautiful display with freesync premium and comfortable controls.

Absolutely incredible. I travel for work and this thing is awesome. Great performance and awesome emulation machine. Battery life is ok

Really good quality and the screen is really good I have a lot of fun with it, but the battery life could be better but I have a lot of fun playing spider man on it I would really recommend this if you want a handheld PC.
