Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Legion Go II has been everything I could have asked for so far. It pretty much combined my steam deck experience with my gaming laptop experience and takes the best from both worlds. It does everything a gaming laptop can do but unlike my gaming laptop it can actually be taken with you on walks or wherever on the go and be used in any other portable scenarios with ease and with amazing battery life. It is also much better than the Steam Deck with its larger gorgeous OLED screen and higher performance so I can actually play most games including more modern games at 60 fps. I honestly see no reason to even have a gaming laptop or steam deck anymore because it does a great job and replacing both. I hear a lot of reviewers say it’s too expensive and just buy a gaming laptop but apparently those reviewers only play games sitting down because you’re not gonna be able to use a laptop for 2+ hours while walking around. It can also be used for other things other than gaming since it has features like a laptop such as also being convenient to connect to a tv rather then having to take a bigger laptop out. I can game on larger screens while also not having to deal with all the heat my gaming laptop creates and space it takes up. I also don’t think it’s too big. I was worried because some people said it was heavy but this is just as heavy as my steam deck is with a case. I’ve had no issues walking while playing. Now it is not without its flaws. I do wish it was a little more powerful because there are some games where it will still struggle to hit a consistent 60 fps. I am also not a fan of all the buttons that the controller has. The mouse seems like a gimmick because I’d rather use a traditional bluetooth mouse instead if i was actually going to use a mouth. The extra buttons just get in the way because I won’t use them. The touch pad has also been inconvenient because it’s so close to the thumb stick that it leads to accidental presses so I just disabled it. If you’re a controller players, the sticks are also a little too loose for my liking. It’s difficult to play competitive shooters on this if your used to better controllers so you’d be be better off connecting your favorite controller. Overall I chose this over the competition because the screen makes all the difference by making it feel like a generational jump from something like steam deck. I don’t think I can ever go back to a screen that’s smaller and not OLED. It’s a very beautiful screen and just the right size to where it’s not too gigantic. I think the pros outweigh the cons tremendously with this device so I am giving it a 5/5.

The Lenovo Legion Go 2 was my first handheld gaming PC I've ever owned, and I'm really glad I jumped in this generation. The big screen and improved ergonomics (compared to the last gen) make a huge difference; especially for someone like me with large hands. That said, if you want to take the comfort even further, grab a set of "comfort grips" for it. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later. Battery life has also been surprisingly solid, thanks to how efficient the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme chipset is. Yeah, we all know it doesn't bring massive performance jumps over the Z1 Extreme, but honestly, that never bothered me. I've been playing all kinds of games; Gears of War, Titanfall 2, the Kingdom Hearts series, Hogwarts Legacy, you name it; and this thing handles them great. I can hit a steady 60 fps on most titles with medium to low settings (Hogwarts Legacy being the exception) without any real issues. One last thing I have to shout out: the OLED screen! Man, once you calibrate it, this display alone makes the ~$350 premium over the ROG Xbox Ally X worth every penny. When you're playing HDR-supported games, the colors and contrast are straight-up breathtaking; you'll be in awe. All that to say, this device is absolutely worth the investment. I plan on keeping it for a long time. So what are you waiting for? Go grab one. You won't be disappointed.

I love this device! Its screen is very beautiful, and the performance is pretty decent even for modern AAA games. Battery life is decent too, on balanced power settings you can get about 2 hours when playing a more demanding game. I would recommend getting a laptop at this price instead if performance on a portable device is your priority, as a laptop will definitely run those demanding games a lot better. But if you care a lot about comfort, versatility with where you can use the device, and ease of just picking up and playing something, all while having decent enough performance to be able to play pretty much anything- I would recommend this handheld. It is basically a very beefed up Switch OLED running Windows 11, and I love the Switch's form factor, so this device is perfect for me. :)

This is my first handheld device and I’m really impressed by what it can do. Sure, I do find it heavy and my arms get tired, but I usually use a pillow to support the device and my arms so it’s not that bad. I can still game for multiple hours and have an enjoyable experience. It’s handled all of my games really well such as The Sims 2 and The Sims 3, planet coaster and planet zoo, tomb raider trilogy, plants vs zombies garden warfare, call of duty. Legion space makes control bindings pretty straightforward. I can play many mouse and keyboard games perfectly fine. I just made key binding profiles that made the most sense to my play style as I went along. It has completely replaced my laptop and allows me to game more comfortably. The battery life isn’t bad, I usually get 1.5hrs to 2.5hrs depending on what I’m playing, and even then I could turn down brightness or other settings to really stretch it. I can’t see myself going back to full laptop gaming for awhile, but even if I did, this is a perfect addition to my all around tech that’ll provide so many hours of fun with a lot of flexibility

This handheld literally has everything I've been wanting. I've owned every mainstream handheld there is. With each and everyone of those there was always something missing leaving me just wishing they had this or that. This handheld has it all. The best oled display hdr vrr 144hz, a display big enough to actually comfortably play on, good battery life, a performant apu that is very efficient, good controllers , good speakers, and the software is actually better than I anticipated. All around this device has earned my first ever 5 star rating for a handheld.

Coming from the first Legion Go to the Legion Go 2, this new iteration for Lenovo is an upgrade in nearly every department. From the gorgeous OLED screen to the improved ergonomics in the controllers, every game played on this now is more vivid and feels very comfy to play with the improved battery life. This is the handheld to beat at the moment and can't wait to try more games on this beast.

I’ve owned quite a few handhelds over the years: the Asus ROG XBox Ally X, the Legion Go 1 Z1E, the Legion Go S Z1E Steam OS, the Ally X Z1, and even the Asus ROG Flow Z13 (Max 395) paired with a Gamesir controller. Out of all of them, the Lenovo Legion Go 2 Z2E stands out as the one I don’t want to return. It’s not lightyears ahead in every category, but it’s lightyears ahead in enough of them to make it the champ in my opinion. Display & Experience The 8.8-inch OLED screen is the biggest draw. It’s the main reason I returned the Ally X—its screen felt way too small. After proper HDR calibration, the Legion’s display is simply marvelous. Games like The Division 1, Resident Evil 4, MegaBonk, and Starfield look stunning. Watching YouTube or streaming content is a joy—the sound quality is shockingly good, better than my laptop speakers. Performance & Software Running Windows with Steam set to launch in Full Picture mode is smooth and reliable. I haven’t bothered with Bazzite or Xbox FSE yet, and honestly, I don’t feel the need until official support arrives. AMD’s frame generation and resolution scaling doubled my frames without noticeable performance loss. AAA titles run beautifully, and lighter games sip power efficiently. Battery life is impressive: about 6 hours on Quiet mode for low-end games, and 3–4 hours for AAA titles on Performance mode. Ergonomics & Usability The ergonomics aren’t perfect—ASUS still has the edge there—but a cheap Amazon grip solved my issue with misclicking unused right-side buttons. It’s versatile: perfect for couch gaming, travel, and even doubles as a laptop when paired with a portable keyboard. Compared to the Ally X, the Legion Go 2 wins with its bigger OLED screen and superior audio, even if ASUS nailed the feel of the device better. Value Alternatives like the Apex or Win5 might tempt me, but they lack OLED, have smaller screens, and cost $800–$1000 more. For the price, the Legion Go 2 Z2E is unbeatable.

So far, this has been a great device and automatically maps controls to mouse and keyboard games, It’s not great but it works. I’ve been playing in enshrouded nonstop with OK battery life and play for about two or three hours before I need to plug it in. as I have it messed with the settings too much or tried other games to see how the battery life is. Right controller could be better designed as a mouse, maybe changing the position of the scroll wheel. Would have been nice if the case was bigger to fit the charger in the case.

This thing is amazing, I bought it for a singular purpose and it has become my go to. I can remove the controllers and play it on the TV. I can use it as a monitor, I use it as a small computer. I can even play world of Warcraft with it, any game I have thrown at it gets amazing graphics with smooth performance. The OLED and larger 8.8in screen just solidifies this champion handheld pc. Amazing Battery life as well.

The Lenovo Legion Go 2 is a fantastic handheld that runs modern games at a solid, playable frame rate. The 8.8-inch OLED screen is absolutely worth the money; its size and quality make a massive difference over smaller 7-inch displays. While it’s on the bulky side and takes some getting used to, the experience is top-tier. I highly recommend it to anyone who can afford it! Also, thanks to Best Buy for the lightning-fast delivery.

Gorgeous and very capable device. I wish it was lighter and thinner but the performance and the OLED screen justifies the price and weight. Intalled Bazzite / Steam OS and it works even better. Highly recommend to dual boot so you can enjoy the best of both worlds.

Was this expensive yes, was it not that big of an upgrade from my legion go s also yes. With that said this has to be the most premium handheld ive owned. The Oled screen definitely does alot of the heavy lifting but ive been playing most of my triple A library at 1080p high settings for most things at almost 60fps if im ok with some stuttering ive been able to get 1200p at 30fps( caveate with this burning through battery). Needless to say if youre looking a top of the line handheld with a beautiful screen i highly recommend this device but you can honestly find similar performance on cheaper devices but man is this screen immersive, it really draws you in no matter the game so i give this device a 8 out 10. Windows 11 will always be a detrimental os to hand helds but honestly i barely notice the hiccups like i did on my og legion go or xbox ally x.

Pros • Fantastic OLED screen (8.8”, 144 Hz, vibrant colors) • Strong performance for a handheld (Ryzen Z2 chip, up to 32GB RAM) • Very flexible — detachable controllers, Windows 11, lots of ports • Better battery than the original for light tasks • Solid build and comfortable design Cons • AAA games require compromises (lower resolution or settings to get smooth FPS) • Short battery life when gaming (about 2–3 hours) • Windows 11 is not handheld-friendly and can feel fiddly • Bigger and heavier than most handhelds • Expensive compared to competitors Best for: Tech-savvy PC gamers who want a powerful portable Windows PC and don’t mind tweaking settings. Not ideal for: People wanting long battery life, ultra-portability, or a simple console-like experience.

This is a low techy techy review, I just upgrade from the steam deck and I'm in love so far, I was scared because I heard a lot about having to do a lot of day one prep and installs but it was regular CPU start up stuff and I was ready to play in like an hour or two. It's been great I haven't found a game I can't play yet, and the screen is gorgeous. The only concern has been the sleep mode, it never really turns off, so I can't put it sleep mode and put it in a case because the heat is still going and the case would block the vents. So I actually have to save and turn it off,but besides that works amazing. Right, lastly I'm a big guy so the size and weight are perfect breath of fresh air in today's age where everything is trying to be lighter.

Best handheld out there. Screen is fire fast and nice and premium. Only thing is that it gets a little heavier after long play sessions but worth it for the experience.

Pros: screen is best I’ve ever used. 8-10gb of vram with 22-24 left over is game-changing. Way more ergonomic than the first LeGo and much sturdier. Runs much cooler. Speakers much improved (not as good as ally xbox). Cons: pain to upgrade ssd if you’re uninitiated. Oled screen in minimum brightness loses luster. Z2 extreme is not much of an upgrade. Weight not an issue for me but can understand why it would be for some. Bottom line: this is everything I want in a handheld pc (but I’m a console gamer first, using this to play favorites during commutes). With trade-ins, reward certificates, and 24mo financing through Best Buy, this isn’t a financial hit for best buy credit card users. Highly recommend 4tb ssd and 1tb micro express.

Amazing machine! Screen is mesmerizing especially on HDR. Battery is fantastic, giving me at least 4 hours of gameplay on performance settings

I never thought I would use It as much as I am. Hands down the best OLED screen I've seen. Runs all my current games like BF6, Arc Raiders, Genshin Impact, Warframe and more.

Beautiful console, very practical and fantastic for gaming anywhere.

The Legion Go 2 is easily one of the most impressive pieces of tech I’ve owned. It’s not just a gaming device — it’s a full Windows PC in a handheld form factor. The versatility is what truly sets it apart. I can use it handheld for gaming, dock it to a monitor or TV for a full desktop experience, or pair it with a keyboard and mouse for work and productivity. The display is outstanding. The large, high-quality screen makes both gaming and everyday tasks feel immersive and sharp. Performance has been excellent across the board, whether I’m playing AAA titles, older classics, or multitasking in Windows. The removable controllers, built-in kickstand, and thoughtful port placement make the design feel premium and intentional, not like a novelty device. What surprised me most is how natural it feels to switch between modes. One moment it’s a handheld console, the next it’s a docked PC driving an external display. It handles both roles confidently. The Legion Go 2 feels powerful, well-built, and future-ready — not a toy, but a real computer you can take anywhere. If you want a device that can replace a handheld, supplement a laptop, and function as a compact desktop when docked, the Legion Go 2 delivers. It’s an incredible balance of power, flexibility, and innovation, and it’s absolutely worth the investment.
