    Its an awesome device. Coparing this gaming console to Valve Steam deck and Asus ROG Ally It has great ergonomics at least for me that I have big hands, I love the kickstand It has 2 usb 4 ports and are capable of using an egpu I plan to test this in the future. Performance wise its same as the ROG Ally but on a bigger and more appealing screen. I love how the controllers feel and appreciate that the controls can be removed to play wirelessly. I appreciate that the device comes with a case Overall Im really pleased with the device and will 100% recommend to a friend

    Out of the wide range of available handhelds that have sprung up since the success of the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck, this is the first Windows-based device that I saw that I was truly impressed with. It’s not a small handheld, and doesnt feel cheaply made. The controllers feel like a fully-grown evolution of the Switch’s Joy-Cons, and the trackpad and innovative “mouse” mode feel right at-home when you need it. It runs many games without issue, and there are tweaks that can be made to squeeze out as much battery life as possible. The fans also stay relatively quiet under load as well. Overall, I love this thing!

    Currently Best PC Handheld

    This is definitely the best handheld game system out right now. The ROG Ally is SO uncomfortable to hold I don’t even understand how that design got manufactured. Steam deck is great, but it doesn’t natively run windows. This Legion Go however, is just amazing. It has features no other PC handheld has right now like detachable controllers. I bought this thinking I’ll return it if I don’t use it very often. I’ve been using it before bed every single night for a couple hours since I bought it. Which is saying a lot because I have a new born so I’m pretty busy everyday. It’s one of my favorite things I’ve bought in a very long time.

    Huge fan! Plays indie and 2D games at lightning-fast FPS and 3D AAA games at 30fps with high image quality. Battery is small-ish but you can easily supplement that with an external battery. Have gotten tons of use out of it already and expect to see tons more!

    Screen is large and very clear. Speakers needed to be directional as they are not as loud as other handhelds. Battery life is not great. Love how the controllers come off and can be used separately.

    Open box excellent condition was great. couldn't see anything wrong with it. did take a bit to update everything, install steam/game launchers, download a couple of games so the first evening with the device didn't actually get to play anything. But after that it's been excellent. Switching the power button to hibernate has worked well at least in the games I've been playing so far. Screen is a good size. Kinda heavy, but when playing it laying down on my cough I'll rest the legion on the included case to offload the weight from my hands, so far that's worked well. had a nintendo switch for years but using this much more often.

    Ive had no problems with this thing. Yes, i own a gaming pc, and bought it because I wanted that psp gaming vibe like I was a kid again. Screen is very large and looks amazing. Quick performace setting menu is very helpful, easily play starfield, Enshrouded, Elden Ring, and Spiderman on it. There is a ton of fourms on tweaks for it, and if you want the extra performance swap it to a linux distro but make sure to save a backup of the device , I havent used the FPS joystick because like using it as a handhelp, but its basically a switch on steroids, great emulation even with ps3 games, and not disappointed with my purchase at all.

    Amazing portable PC, the only thing it's missing is a keyboard. Other than that its a great barebones start if you don't have space for a full pc. At this point it's probably the best handheld pc on the market, unless you're a stickler for VRR. While there's certain things that could be improved, like an option for a median refresh rate, or even just a way to turn on remotes after they've entered sleep mode, without reconnecting them to the system. But for all basic pc needs it will meet them above and beyond, and will run most modern games just fine.

    It is super easy to give this a five star review. This is one of the best purchases I have ever made. I enjoy it more than my PlayStation, Xbox, and all other handhelds. It’s very powerful, the screen is fantastic, and it runs everything like a Windows computer should and would. It is also great for putting on your desk and watching movies in the background. For the size of the screen, the battery lasts a long time. Sometimes the fan does wind up, but I keep mine on the highest settings, so that’s probably a user thing rather than a device thing. I cannot say enough good things about this purchase. Easily a five star and best purchase I have ever made.

    Love it for gaming but because its windows it does take a bunch of tinkering with different settings to make sure it doesnt crash or lag. Screen is beautiful though, low power games it runs amazing. Battery stinks but who cares.

    I love everything about it. The size is good for my slightly larger than average hands, the screen is beautiful, and it feels comfortable. Only gripe is when you swap the legion space button and the guide button the shortcuts then use the guide button so some issues can occur with that in some games.

    I was looking for handheld and it was either between this or the rog ally x and obviously I went with the legion go with main reason being for the screen the ally x having a smaller screen with more bezels was a dealbreaker for me, to me having slightly better specs doesn’t justify for a smaller screen and the legion go honestly runs very well and can even play intensive games like space marines 2 with little to no problem. So yea happy with my purchase

    I was torn between the Steam Deck, and ROG Ally. After tons of research and video reviews, I decided to get the Legion Go and let me tell you. I use this device as a daily driver almost every day. Since getting it I haven’t touched my desktop at all. Something about being able to use my setup but mobile is fun. But why not just get a laptop? Because the handheld factor just feels right Battery life is similar to a laptop. Won’t be as good as the steam deck but treat it like a pc and not a console. If you have some computer literacy you’ll be golden

    Largest form factor it could have and still be called handheld. Innovative controls. Speakers suck. Setup software leaves much to be desired.

    Great System. If you are looking for a gaming system, This is the one. It is better than the original steam deck since the graphics are much better and more powerful processor. It is better than the ASUS ROG system since it doesn't seem to have a problem with overheating / horrible location of microsd card. It also has full version of windows installed which is nice. It also comes with a free carrying case which is really nice. I really wish they would of made room for the charger and charging cable in the case. I never understand why no one does that. Battery life is not great but I am assuming some firmware fixes down the road should help a little bit.

    I was originally going to get the rog ally as I've had it before but got buyers remorse and returned it. I saw this device online and decided to do some research before taking a leap and purchasing it. Boy did this not disappoint me at all. This device is quite astounding it has everything I would want in a handheld pc. Detachable controls huge screen it is amazing and has run everything I've thrown at it so far. I have zero complaints other. Lenovo has been steadily pumping out updates and working out all the bugs and adding features that are desired. I have had it for a few weeks now and I do not plan to return it.
