    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

    This handheld is worth it if you are wanting a handheld that’s comfy in the hands, doesn’t get too loud from fan noise, and decent battery life. Able to get between 2.5-5 hrs depending on games and if i took the time to tweak it or just OoB settings. SteamOS is the way to go. Pictures include Dbrand Killswitch case and a JSAUX matte screen protector. Def recommend a matte protector. Recommend some stick grips. Stock ones are rather weak in that regard

      Hey Lester,

      Thanks for choosing Lenovo and for sharing your feedback with us!

      Regarding the battery life, depending on the demand of the game you're playing, by pressing the Legion R button to launch the quick menu, you can switch to lower power mode to save battery. In the menu, under the performance tab, users can toggle thermal modes and prioritize battery life by using the default mode or creating a custom thermal mode should you not be satisfied with the 3 presets. These adjustments can also be made by going into Legion Space > Settings (Legion Space can be launched quickly by pressing the Legion L button (Legion Logo above the button).

      We are glad to read that the Legion Go S has been otherwise great for you.

    Coming from an OG Steam Deck, this thing is a an absolute dream. Everything feels like an improvement. It has a better processor plus double the RAM. The buttons feel sturdy and are satisfying to press (although the clicks can be a bit loud). The joysticks feel smooth and the customizable RGB lights are super cool. Steam OS works just as well as it did on the Steam Deck. The overall design and color is great. It’s really comfortable to hold for long periods of time. I did think I would miss the track pad but I really haven’t felt its absence. Now, there is one downside, especially for those looking for something portable to bring on roadtrips and stuff - the battery. If you play anything demanding, you have to be okay with having it plugged in all the time. With this in mind, I feel like it’s perfect for those wanting the flexibility to play games around the house instead of being glued to your pc.

    Excellent performance for the form factor and price if it's on sale (I bought it on sale for $650). No windows bloat. Steam OS is easy to use. Battery life is very short for very demanding games such as Cyberpunk 2077 (1-2 hours at max power usage). Much longer battery at idle and for simple games. LCD screen looks good. Ergonomics are good. Not a lot of 3rd party accessories when compared to the Steam Deck. If you value raw performance the most, want to play modern demanding games on it, and battery life is mostly an after thought, then buy this if the price is right for you. If you value battery life the most and prefer playing simpler games, buy the OLED Steam Deck.

    Great product, loud fans; pricey

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

    This device has me wanting to go back to PC gaming which I will be doing, the Rog Ally S is comfortable to hold for hours without a case. The 120hz screen is nice to look at, it has VRR and plays everything I throw at it. The only con to me is the loud fans, but that only happens when you play in performance mode, I played on balance. Battery life is about 2-3 hours which I think is normal for these powerful handhelds. I would wait for the Z2 Extreme devices or Xbox Rog Ally, Steam Deck OLED would be the sweet spot if you’re not looking to play the latest and greatest AAA games. For me this device is a 9/10, but I’m returning to get a home gaming pc instead. Console gaming is a mess right now with prices.

    In love with this machine, SteamOS is so quick with launching games. Battery isnt the best but not a problem if you game near a plug. Fan does get pretty loud but again a non-issue if you use headphones most of the time. Screen is probably the best LCD out there. Not OLED level but the 7" makes up for it. Ergonomics are amazing too.

    Excellent highlighting its great screen (especially with SteamOS), powerful performance for its price (Z2GO version), and solid ergonomics, but often criticizing its poor battery life, sometimes bulky feel/size, and Windows software quirks, with many users recommending installing SteamOS for a better console-like experience and better performance management.
