This is HANDS DOWN the best handheld device I've ever owned. It literally does everything I would ever want a handheld to do. It single handedly got me back into gaming & I'm obsessed. Seriously, this is the best version of the "steam deck" you can buy at this point in time. Would recommend to anyone!!

Got this at full price no regrets. It's my go to play everything champion. Steam os is a perfect pairing. It runs amazingly on just about everything thrown at it. Only downside you'll see is battery life.

I don't normally write reviews for any product I buy but this one deserves it. Under 1000 dollars, I purchased for just under 800 brand new out of box. Very pleased with the OS of steam and the functions of the Legion handle itself. The hardware is phenomenal, enjoying AAA titles and older games.

I’m a busy dad and haven’t had time for gaming in a while but after learning about the steam deck I did some research and came upon the legion go S Z1 Extreme. This thing made me fall in love with gaming again, super comfortable, user friendly and over all great experience playing all games. I would recommend getting joystick grips for that extra feel when playing. If battery life was a bit better I’d give it 5 stars for sure.

Great machine, but wait for it to go on sale

This is noticeably better than the Steam Deck, but it is hard to justify paying full price for it. I mostly use it for a handful of specific PC only games is great for me because I already have a large backlog of games on Steam. A Switch 2 is probably a better option for people who don't.
I did a benchmark test for Cyberpunk 2077 and it could barely hold 60fps. If you care about how things look, your best bet is to buy a PS5 or building a desktop PC.

Hi RobR-
Thank you for choosing Lenovo and sharing your experience with us. We are happy to hear that you are enjoying the Legion Go S for your gaming needs. We aim to offer great user experience, and we would like to recommend a few options to enhance your performance.
Firstly, we recommend running and installing all available drivers updates through Legion Space, these updates are crucial to the device’s health and power regulation leading to enhanced performance. 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 S 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 based off your needs. We recommend Performance Mode. You can also toggle this function by using holding down the hexagonal Steam key located on the left controller 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

Word of advice, get an extra adapter if you're running windows 11 (I installed windows on mine because I have a steamdeck already). Now if you're playing on low settings you're good but performance mode you'll wanna be plugged in!

Worked perfectly
Thanks Best Buy for such a great deal.
No better place and such fast shipping for electronics.
Never shy away from open box deals.
Even got a deal for a 2tb WD NVME to increase the storage
