Customer Ratings & Reviews

This device is remarkable good. Is capable of running contemporary games very well at quite high resolution/detail level. It's truly portable (much smaller than a laptop) but can be used as a perfect alternative to a gaming laptop, because it has a full-grown windows. Xbox controllers run over bluetooth with no special configuration required, which makes it a very good alternative for gamers that don't like the built-in controllers. It's capable of connecting to a full monitor (over USB-C), which makes it a very convenient travel companion. Battery doesn't last very long, but that can be expected of such a small device running at high performance to deliver an experience that's comparable to an actual full-size console.

If you are looking for a Windows tablet that can also play modern games, this is your new best friend. Some may find the full fledged Windows experience too much for a gaming focused device, but I love that I can use this with a bluetooth keyboard/mouse and use this as a small laptop. I would say this device is worth 5 stars in my experience, but it does have some drawbacks compared to the competition. If you want a full console like experience, a Steam deck is a better choice. The Asus ROG ally also has more up to date drivers and support, at the time of this writing. However, I love the removable controllers, kickstand, touchpad for mouse support, and the huge screen of this device.

Outstanding. The best handheld I have seen. Screen is great. The 144 refresh is a win. Only the oled is better.

Still not sure if I will keep this just to put it out there. I’m pretty much used to my steam deck…. But after doing all the updates, tweaking and debloating….. it’s been working well!!! That screen is amazing!! My deck doesn’t even compare I’ve been able to play miles morales at 1200p with an FPS of around 40-45. Although switching to 800p doesn’t look as good as compared to the 800p setting in my steam deck but that’s just me being picky. The legion software to me needs more work so hopefully Lenovo will continue with updates. If you want more of a handheld PC experience then I would pick this instead of the ally but if you want more of a handheld console experience then get the steam deck…. The OLED version will be available for ordering in two days.

I'm an old IT guy and gamer, and I love this device. For what it is and what it does it's pretty darn good. Yes, if you're not used to PC gaming and the tinkering that goes along with that, be ready to learn or maybe this device isn't for you. I wanted a portable that ran Windows for some games which is why after looking at options, I decided on the Legion Go. I've been pretty satisfied with this purchase. Great for what it is and what it does. Build quality I'm really impressed with. Don't expect a walk around 4090, but if you have realistic expectations, it's a decent performer on lower quality settings.

Can't say much, came in and was dead of arrival, I have the Steam Deck, and MSi Claw 7 ai+, one thing with what I did see for the Legion Go is it felt cheap, controllers didn't feel like there was much to them, and just charging it to attempt to turn it on it was very hot to the touch. From what I saw in the recovery and bios the screen was nice. But just felt like a lottery especially after looking at others and it seems like its a pretty common issue with many being refurbished for similar issues.

This thing packs a punch! I come from a steam deck and let me tell you I preffer this one out! Better feel and control compativility with games in general. Screen is awesome and good quality!

Pros: Large beautiful screen with 144hz (better for Baldour’s gate 3) Fast processor/GPU (same as ROGAlly) FPSmode Detachable controllers Bigger battery Cons: Legion Space interface is terrible Button placement of start/select is in a terrible spot (below the d-pad) FPS mode button placement is awkward to use and not easily re-mappable (cannot set per game) Performance is less than ROGAlly at identical settings Screen at 800p is more blurry than Ally at 720p AND runs slower. Screen is not VRR Screen is more reflective than Ally Heavy Sound is average at best and speakers are top-firing Verdict: i returned it and kept the ROGAlly and Steamdeck. I might be right for you if you value screen real estate above sound and ergonomics.

Awesome accessory to my Nvidia RTX 4090 gaming PC. I love my gaming rig but have been getting tired of being stuck at my desk every time I want to play and instead would rather enjoy lounging on the couch to play on a handheld while my wife and kids are watching TV. You know, family time ;) Disclaimer: my review is mostly going to be about my experience with PC streaming to the Legion Go. Up until now, I’ve been able to achieve high end PC gaming on an handheld form factor only by streaming my PC to my iPhone attached to the Razer Kishi controller. Unfortunately, smartphone screens are way too small to get a decent experience. 7in display on a Switch OLED or steam deck could work, but still would like something a little bigger in my opinion. Hence Legion Go is the answer! Here’s what I love about it: 1.) Screen - the size and picture quality is absolutely terrific! Resolution and refresh rate is up to par with my gaming monitor. It’s beautiful. This was my primary motivation for getting this over the ASUS rog ally or Steam Deck. 2.) Built in WiFi 6E - allows for high speed streaming (fast router needed too of course), enabling me to stream at 120fps with no noticeable picture quality loss, pixelation, or input lag. It’s as if I’m playing directly on my PC. 3.) Battery life - this is typically a con for most reviews I’ve seen, but if you’re streaming from a gaming PC, put the Legion Go in power saving mode. I’m able to play for over 2 hours and still have more than 50% battery left. 4.) versatility - when traveling or on the go, I can still game with this even away from my PC. At this point I would not bother with streaming outside of my home network, but installing the games onto the legion go and playing them directly from the device is still a great experience. Picture quality is obviously not as good due to relying on integrated GPU, so I mostly have to turn every graphics setting to low and also enable resolution scaling for AAA games. But overall still a good experience. 5.) windows 11 - I’m a little torn about this one. On one hand it’s great that this is basically a windows laptop, and as a windows user I can do everything on this that I would do on my PC. But on the other hand, using windows with touch and game controllers absolutely sucks. Windows is intended to be used with a mouse and keyboard, not this…but that’s what you have to expect when you opt for a windows based handheld vs something like a Switch or Steamdeck. The controller does have a track pad though, so that helps. But if you only ever intend to game and are not already a windows user, a windows based handheld might not be the best choice for you. Final thoughts: I’m a sucker for games with high end graphics and always want to experience them the way developers intended (hence the RTX 4090) and the Legion Go totally delivers an uncompromised experience for a handheld. So if you’re like me and already have a high end gaming PC, but just want to enjoy all that gaming power on a handheld with a gorgeous screen to utilize it, get the legion go. It’s also great to install and play games directly on it when out and about, but there you will have to compromise on battery life and graphics quality. That’s not the typical case for a user like me though, since I use it 90% of the time at home. Very happy with this device!

PC gaming performance is great for this handheld. Dont expect to crank out ultra settings at high FPS, but you can get playable framerates at 800p resolution at low-medium settings in AAA titles. Older games or casual titles are a breeze to run, and emulators are a a piece of cake for the Legion Go. Battery life is the sole weakness - cranking up the power settings will drain the battery very quickly - about 1 to 1.5 hours. Too bad the days of hot swappable batteries are gone, so keep an external high capacity battery with you. It’s also a nice tablet for media consumption. If you travel a lot this is such a nice luxury to have - gaming, light productivity (bring a bluetooth mouse and keyboard), and media consumption all rolled into one.

Big, bulky, uncomfortable to use, and full of gimmicks. I’m sure this is sufficient for many users, but I found it to be uncomfortable to use and lacking a decent battery. Legion Space isn’t great, drivers are woefully out of date, and the portrait display creates a lot of issues with older games and overlays. I found the sticks to be small and uncomfortable, and FPS mode adds extra buttons to the controller while also defeating the purpose of a handheld device. I ended up returning the GO, but as a positive, the screen is gorgeous.

Great device the only thing sometimes the economics hurts the hand of it and battery. Life could be better, but for what it is, I’d say it’s the best one out for the timeframe.

This was such a great deal as an open box, and it was in excellent condition as advertised. Lenovo has a great program that honors the date of purchase of your open box product and starts your warranty from the date you bought it, not the date that product was first sold. Super happy with this. People complain about the controllers or the weight, but I did not find either of those things to be an issue if I simply rested my hands on my lap while gaming.

A viable and powerful option for gaming on the go. If you like playing video games on a vibrant screen with smooth gameplay than this unit is for you.

Lenovo Legion Go rocks! Great for PC games on the go, with a giant screen. Downside: battery drains fast. Still awesome for chilling on the couch and gaming.

As a busy dad it’s hard for me to be able to get to my gaming PC like I used to - after a lot of research into different handheld options like the Steam Deck and ROG Ally I decided on the Go and haven’t looked back since. The screen is HUGE, and it runs some pretty demanding games at a smooth 60 FPS, and is perfect for less recent games in your Steam/Epic (or whatever platform you prefer) backlog. Even better - you can emulate console games if you want. Still waiting to pull the trigger? Don’t. You’ll love every second of it if you’re in the market for a handheld.

I bought an aftermarket dock for it and hooked it up to the tv so I could play it like my switch. I love the detachable controllers so I can now play from the comfort of my couch while the system is docked. I choose this over the steam deck because it’s easy to add all of my gaming platforms on there, epic, gog, steam, etc.

Fantastic product. Works terrificly for gaming and any other task you throw at it. The big screen is great leg up over the ally and the steam deck and feels great in the hands.

Great device, the performance its excelent a little disappointed on the battery life thats it

It performs very well for a handheld device! You pretty much have to play with it plugged in due to the high energy demand of most games, though.
