Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is not my first handheld gaming pc but I have enjoyed the Legion Go best of all. The bigger screen makes this the go to device in my opinion. Set up is quick and the detachable controllers are great. Steam, Xbox GamePass, Epic Game Store games all run well once you find the proper settings. The included case is well built and helps when transporting the Legion Go. The only negative comment I have is about Lenovo support when it comes to driver updates.

The 8.8” Legion Go truly impressed me. It delivers excellent speed and performance, making it great for both gaming and demanding tasks. Its portability is a huge plus, and the ability to connect it to an external display really unlocks its full potential. If you’re looking for power without sacrificing mobility, this is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended.

I am a casual tech user whose main gaming is done in PS5. However i would like to praise the Legion Go for being an all in one device thats is portable. The screen is amazing and it runs my steam games very well. Im not well versed in FPS and all that but i enjoy using it to olay games watch anime or browse the web. It will be my intro into a gaming PC.

As a gaming dad, I needed portability and this thing has come in clutch. I love the screen size. Although big its comortable to hold and I like how you can detach the controllers. Because its a Windows device its not perfect but I havent had many issues with it. Im not a PC gamer so its been taking a little bit to learn but I love it!

I cant give it a full five as things can always be improved, but this has been such a grwat purchase. Before getting the Legion Go, I did a lot of research on the pros and cons of handheld gaming devices. I knew I needed a windows device, so although I was sacrificing battery life by not a steam deck, I knew was gaining so much more with something else. So that left me with the ROG Ally or the Legion Go. Although, the ally has had updates and is way more stable now then at launch, I understood there would be bumps along the way getting a Legion Go now vs later. I truly felt that Lenovo would do the same and not leave this behind so took the investment and its paying back tenfold. I love the screen and button feel. Using it as a tablet has been fun. The weight, heavy for some, isnt an issue in my opinion. Havent used FPS mode much, but its fun. Use them more as joy-cons more often then i thought i would. Yes there are some hurdles to jump over with tweaking a few settings before starting, but simple video guides helped me get that done quickly. After a few updates to get things up to speed, this has been used practically everyday since ive purchased. Absolutely love this device and hope more people give it a shot.

The Legion Pro gaming laptop has completely transformed my gaming experience, offering unparalleled performance, sleek design, and portability that fits my on-the-go lifestyle. Its top-of-the-line processors and graphics cards deliver seamless gameplay, handling even the most demanding titles with ease. I particularly love the responsive keyboard and customizable RGB lighting, allowing me to personalize my gaming setup to match my style. Despite its powerhouse performance, the Legion Pro remains surprisingly lightweight and slim, making it easy to carry wherever I go. The advanced cooling system keeps temperatures in check during marathon gaming sessions, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. Plus, with a range of connectivity options including USB-C, HDMI, and Thunderbolt, along with Wi-Fi 6 support, I can stay connected and ready to game wherever I am. Overall, the Legion Pro has set a new standard for gaming laptops, combining performance, design, and portability in a way that's truly impressive. Whether I'm at home or on the road, the Legion Pro never fails to deliver an exceptional gaming experience that keeps me coming back for more.

Lenovo really did a great job with this handheld. The premise was almost perfect. You get detachable controllers that doubles as a mouse so you can play mouse-intensive games, you have a built-in sturdy kickstand so you don't really need to get a separate dock for it, gorgeous big display that makes every other handheld look mediocre, and it runs Windows so you can play almost all your games. My problem with this that made me return the unit was the sounds. I can tolerate it if it was just low in volume due to the top firing speakers (vs the Ally and Steam Deck which is front-facing), but the sound is like your ears have water in it. Yes it can be remedied with a headphone, but most of the time you just want to fire up a game and play without anything in your ear. Other than that, it would have been a perfect handheld even with its premium price.

Heavy and ran very hot that it scared me, battery life is horrible, spent more time trying to tweak than playing any games, don’t recommend to anyone who just wants to play games, its just to much work, nice screen though

Big screen makes playing great The controllers feel kind of good even during "long" play sessions Battery leaves much to be desired but thats kind of to be expected with these devices Plays most games at a good framerate with some tweaking

This is a pretty good portable gaming device. You can disconnect the controllers and use as a tablet with built in stand. Very nice feature. The screen is nice if not amazing. LegionSpace software needs some work but Lenovo is working on it. It's running windows so they usual pros and cons apply here as well. Games run as well as you would expect from z1 extreme chip. Overall I like it,

Identify any inappropriate language in the following text: It's obvious the Lenovo Legion Go was not ready for release, but they likely wanted to rush to market in time for the holidays. Issues are numerous. I'm most likely going to return it soon. Definitely do not recommend. Maybe they'll fix the issues in the coming weeks and months, but as it is now, the experience is mostly bad. I've owned a Steam Deck for over a year which is what I'm mostly comparing to. I haven't had much chance to test the Ally. I'll start with a positive, the large vibrant display, MUCH nicer than the Steam Deck display. Maybe comparable to the Ally display except larger. This, for me, is the strongest selling point of the Legion. My biggest complaint about the Steam Deck is the display, small, low res, undersaturated. Valve can brag about their uber fast refresh times all they want, I don't like the display on the Deck. The built in hinge is actually nice to have, to put the device down during a cutscene and just watch. One more positive, it works well with a USBC dock. Just plug it in and everything works, feels like using any other Windows PC. The display is large enough that you can use it as an extra monitor. It almost feels like docking a small Windows tablet. Being Windows, when you first power on the device, it will force you to login with a Microsoft account. If you don't want to do this, DO NOT CONNECT TO WIFI!!! Google "setup windows without Microsoft account" to learn how to bypass this. Windows runs just fine without a Microsoft account. This being a gaming device that I may want to share with family and friends, I surely don't want to be logged into any of my personal accounts. The Steam Deck overall has much better design, superior quality, stability, and ergonomics, both in hardware and software. The Steam Deck overall just has a much nicer and sturdier build, feels better in the hands, and the software pretty much just works. The Legion Go feels cheaper, the buttons and joysticks don't feel as nice, cheaper parts, cheaper plastic/materials, the buttons are very clickly, much less ergonomic (yes, the sharp edges do get uncomfortable after a while), and less sturdy (doesn't feel safe to hold in one hand, like something may snap). Too many darn buttons! It's near impossible to wrangle the Legion in your hands without accidentally clicking a dozen buttons. The problem is exacerbated by the weight of the device. The Steam Deck has a lot of buttons and controls too, but the design is well thought out that I can easily hold the Deck with one hand without accidentally pressing any buttons. Speaking of ergonomics, the Legion Go is not well designed, difficult to find its buttons in a dark room. The Steam Deck has a very ergonomic and intuitive design so I have no problem finding its buttons in the dark. Detachable controllers? Feels much more like a gimmick. I tried for a little while with the controllers detached, it doesn't feel great. The Switch controllers are well designed for the purpose, whereas for the Legion Go it feels like an afterthought, and most definitely not well designed for two players. The Legion Go would have been better WITHOUT detachable controllers, and could have made the whole device lighter and sturdier and more ergonomic. Battery life of the Legion Go is not good. Even for simple 2D platformers, I may only get 2-3 hours of battery life. Just staring at the Windows desktop with nothing running, you can hear the fan whirring away. Yes, I've tried reducing the resolution, refresh rate, TDP, and brightness. Touchpad isn't great, but nice to have. Steam Deck touchpads are vastly superior. Good enough for controlling the mouse on the desktop, but worthless for any kind of gaming. Even then, I still find myself using the touchscreen much of the time. 2k 144hz display is total overkill. Even simple 2D platformers can be taxing on the GPU, and anything 3D is just hopeless. I've been playing everything at 60hz 1920x1200 or 1280x800. Speakers are mediocre at best. Not very loud and just don't sound great. The Steam Deck has better speakers, and the Ally has great speakers. I ended up using headphones with the Legion Go. Let's talk about some of the numerous issues. The case has a small flap which allows you to plug in the charger while its in the case. Cool. Except, plugging in the charger causes the device to wake up... while it's in the case... I've been having an issue where I turn on the device and just get a blank black screen. The device is still on and running, the display is on (I can see the backlight), but just a black screen. Funny enough, I plug it into my USBC dock, and the display comes to life, everything working fine. But unplug the USBC dock and the display goes black again. At this point, all I can do is restart the device. It happens often too, maybe every third time I turn on the device, just blank screen. Surely they knew the "three clicks" to open the R-MENU (right side menu) was going to be a major complaint. You can use the controller buttons to navigate these menus, BUT the game simultaneously receives the inputs! Try using the touchscreen and the game will lose focus, some games minimize, other games crash when they lose focus. The left side menu is mostly worthless, I don't use it for anything. The full screen menu is just a store front for Lenovo to push ads and sponsored products. It also adds several seconds to startup, forcing you to wait while it checks for updates and play the dumb animation, before you can hide it and get to the desktop. As I'm writing this, the WiFi keeps turning off? Yeah, this thing likes to change the settings on you for no reason. It will randomly change the fan profile and resolution. The fan profile is very annoying, midgame the fan profile will change causing the game I'm playing to tank in performance, as in running at 60fps down to 10-15fps because I think the fan turns off and thermal throttling kicks in. While on battery, I can increase the refresh rate to 144hz, but then I need to plug it in to reduce it to 60hz? What? What possible reason could there be for this? Charging! Even with a 65 watt charger, the Legion Go barely charges while turned on. If you want to fully charge the battery, you're best turning off the device and then it might charge in a reasonable amount of time. Not good! The Steam Deck has no problem charging while turned on, and it's only 45 watts! I have gigabit internet, but Steam only downloads at up to 40mbps. I don't know why, but frustrating when I'm attempting to download some larger games to trial the device. I have to leave it downloading overnight. Yes, the fan makes a whirring noise. It's not loud, but somehow I can hear it from across the room, so it gets annoying quick. And the fan is constantly whirring away, even when on the desktop not running any games. The initial setup was rough. I installed all of the latest updates and drivers, rebooted several times, but the performance wasn't up to spec. Many games were running much worse compared to the Steam Deck. The next morning, everything was magically running better, games were performing as expected. No idea, didn't reboot, didn't update or install anything, just turned it on the next morning and everything was just running better. I could go on, there's more I'm not saying, and even more that I may be forgetting. Many other reviewers are making similar comments about stability and reliability, or reporting ever more issues with the Lenovo Legion Go. It's a beta product at best. Too many issues. Too many rough edges. Too many poor design choices. I do not recommend the Lenovo Legion Go.

Lenovo really did a great job with this handheld machine. It has the power you need to play AAA games paired with AMD's Radeon Super Resolution. Few things to point out is if you're looking for something comfortable for a couple of hours of gameplay, this one just wouldnt cut it. Its too bulky and a bit hefty to lie down in bed in comfort.

The Legion go is exactly what I was looking for in an handheld gaming PC. At first, I had bought the ROG Ally, due to its performance and windows capabilities that the steam deck lacked. When the Legion was announced, however, I decided to return the ROG Ally, and wait for the Legion Go’s release. For me, this was worth the weight. The 8.8 inch display is extremely vibrant and makes playing on the go so much more of a pleasure. Having the ability to use the switchlike controllers also adds a nice bit of variety to play in its tablet form. Even though it is a larger console, it is still fairly comfortable to hold, even for longer gaming sessions. The only real gripes I have with it at this point come down to the Legion software. It definitely has had its points with some minor glitches here and there. It definitely hasn’t been as bad as some people may have pointed out in their experiences, however, for me personally. at its current price point, I definitely feel it’s a very strong option for someone to choose for their gaming experience.

The legion go is perfect on paper but falls a little short. It's still a great handheld though and I prefer it over the ROG Ally and Steam decks I've since sold. Pros and the massive screen, kickstand, and detachable controllers. However, the fan noise is on the higher side and the controllers themselves are sharp and ten to hurt my hands after long periods of time. Also, this is a massive handheld and kind of annoying to travel with. Most importantly, it runs games well.

I got this as a gift for my wife after her laptop gpu crashed. She absolutely loves it. She also loves that she can still switch from gaming to work with the Windows OS. She understand that the battery life on a handheld this powerful won't last like that if a Switch, and remedied it by using a power bank.

Legion Go has potential but it needs some improvement. First, it is heavy compared to ROG Ally and Steam Deck. Secondly, the legion go detachable controllers needs something when they are deattached, so they can become a single controller. Third the Legion Space software is not polished and its glitchy. Third, the speakers are not that great, ROG Ally speakers sound much better. Fourth, I dont know why Lenovo went with over 1080p screen resolution because in most games you will get sluggish performance if you game at a higher screen resolution. Lastly, the product quality itself does not look durable, especially when you are detaching the controllers, they are getting scratched easily. It does take lot of time to charge it fully. The battery life is also ok. I think game-held supposed to be portable and not heavy. Legion Go screen is huge but it’s not very light. The price they are asking for it, you can get a decent gaming laptop with better performance. If you consider portability, I would recommend going with ROG Ally or Steam deck.

It’s like a switch but better and can easily run triple A games and has a big screen and pretty portable

Great device. Works well for smaller indie games, can play big games if you don’t mind the graphics hit and a dip in performance here and there. Portable and casual

Bought the Legion Go on open box and haven’t had a single issue since I got it. There were no dings or scratches. The Go itself is a beast and can handle pretty much any game you want to play on the go. Truly a tank compared to most. I got it and totally decked out the Go with accessories and I’m not looking back. It’s so much fun to go wherever I want and open up my bag, pull out the Go and start up any game. Screen size is huge compared to most. It’s just the best, to be honest.

I have been using this a month now and its great. Better performance than I was initially expecting. I love the tablet design too. I load Bazzite Linux on it with no problem. If you used Lossless Scaling this device punches way above it weight.
