Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Lenovo Legion Go is hands down the best handheld gaming device I’ve used. It runs Windows, so I can play my entire Steam library, use Xbox Game Pass, and even do light productivity work. The display is insanely sharp and big compared to other handhelds, and the detachable controllers are super versatile. It’s basically a mini gaming laptop in your hands. Perfect for travel, deployment, or chilling at home. Highly recommend for serious gamers!

Absolutely love everything about this console. The controllers disconnecting am becoming the fps mode, the chips, the storage, the shortcuts, and so much more just make this console my new main (sorry ps5 and switch). Battery life is the only issue for me. I know I can tweak the setting and all and extend it but I enjoy playing on somewhat better graphics, so i just basically stay plugged in all day. Plays so many games great, the fps mode actually gives you more options than most handhelds imo bc you can set up all the extra buttons and have basically mouse and keyboard, if you can get used to the ergonomics of it. Highly recommend buying one or financing one if you are interested in something to game on. Have wanted a good gaming pc for years, and this is actually way better than any laptop or anything I have managed to try over those years.

I did a lot of research before buying the Lenovo Legion Go and honestly this is all you need from a handheld gaming device. It took me some time to figure out the right settings like adjusting the VRAM in the BIOS and dealing with a few quirks, especially since the last time I used a gaming PC was almost a decade ago and I’ve mostly been on consoles since. But once you get everything set up, it’s pure joy. I’ve always dreamed of a handheld like this since the PSP era and I never really liked the Switch. Everything about the Legion Go amazes me from the screen to the controls and the raw power. Some people might hold back because of the battery life, but I think expecting more than an hour and a half to two hours of heavy gaming on a handheld isn’t realistic. That said, a bigger battery would be nice so you don’t have to charge it after every session. The Legion Go Z1 Extreme is absolutely worth every penny and with the right settings it can run almost anything you throw at it. No regrets at all.

I love this device, and I 100% recommend it to experienced Windows users. I would recommend anyone coming from a console get a Steam deck. The Legion Go does need a little tweaking depending on the games, but it’s really nothing I haven't experienced from my full-blown gaming PC. Being able to detach the controller is a really big addition for me, along with the mouse functionality on the left controller. The price is very intimidating, but if you find it on sale, get it immediately!

Amazing price! when i was questioning whether to buy it best buy pulled through and showed me the best price i could ask for! compared to others, it was at least 200 off. Overall, aside from the price the item itself is something i use daily. It holds an amazing performance which hosts the games i play easily and smoothly. Anyways, thank you lenovo and best buy both!

Bestbuy did a great job with delivery as it arrived on time and in perfect condtion. In regards to the device itself, its aces! As a former Steam Deck owner (which I loved), this thing just knocks it out of the water in terms of performance and visuals (although the OLED may give it a run for its money in visuals). As a intermediate PC user, it was very easy to navigate and set up all my different games. I found it easier to set up than the Steam Deck but this device does lack the awesome user interface that the Deck has. Running games at full resolution on this thing is truly stunning. Ill have people walk by me during my break at work asking about what this thing is and how great it looks. Truly beautiful screen. Its a pricey device but for what it does, its a great value. I can play all my Steam games, remote play my PS5, watch videos, use it as a tablet and so much more. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who is on the fence. Just get it.

The Legion Go has absolutely been nice to have while I am traveling. While it's not the same experience as having a big gaming laptop, it's convenience is really, really good. It has a big, beautiful screen, despite being an LCD unlike Switch or Steam Deck OLED. The fact it's high res when I want it, and yet still high refresh is very nice. The fit and feel is nice too, though the controllers feel a little unstable sometimes. The only reason for the star off is that mine required a little setup that I think could be resolved through the Legion Space app, specifically BIOS settings for charging ability and RAM provisioning. A minor thing too, is that I had to download Steam and adjust Steam Input to get mouse control via joystick and buttons. Those I think could be incorporated into the app, but we'll see if that comes along at some point. Overall, very nice, happy to have a handheld that I can run around with and still play some games in my downtime.

Overall a great product. Big screen, and portable. The kick stand is a plus. This handheld can play anything I throw at it. 4 stars because mine didn’t come with a charger.

It was a great purchase when I bought it on sale, this device helped me through so much boring times during traveling. It’s powerful enough to play many games even from triple a but those mini smaller games just feel great on handhelds, people might think it’s overkill but the screen size, the frames are just great. Some complain about the legions app that’s pre install but it’s actually not that bad, plus u might never need to use it

this is a fantastic device with a super large screen-almost too large but i wont complain-the color is sooo good on it and if you install bazzite or steam os-you are in for a treat warning- it can get a little noisy- -the speakers are some of the worst sound ive ever heard from a portable device -the dpad is -without question-the worst doadni have ever used in my life- it makes madcatz dpads for dreamcast controllers look like tournament ready dpads but!!! you can buy a legion go 2 controller set and it works with this too! there is no pwm flicker so gamers like me can rest easy since the go 2 has pwm on the oled sadly the retroid pocket 5 is an oled and has no pwm flicker by the way if you were on the fence about it too anyway-its a great device but you absolutely MUST get a new dpad by modding it-its sold on amazon (spare elite xbox controller dpad kit) or on etsy i really mean it-the d pad is THAT bad

Works great as a gaming system, though battery doesn't last very long compared to console games. Docks with a standard USB to HDMI cable, and I've also used it as a laptop/tablet. I also love the ability to charge it while it's zipped up safely in the case.

The best handheld pc on the market. Geared towards gaming, this handheld can do almost anything a low end pc can do. Battery life leaves much to be desired. Innovations in features and quality of build are top notch.

I purchased this right before the 12/25/2023 Lenovo update. The update fixed the one major problem concerning the dead zones and also added IS scaling via AMD software (remember to turn off any antialiasing within the game). The battery life isn’t bad at all. I played Styx Shards of Darkness on high settings and it runs with an average 53 FPS, lows 47 fps, highs 59 fps. The game looks great. This is with system on game saver mode and efficiency mode at 800p up scaled to 1600p due to the AMD IS, screen brightness set to 4 ( I play in bed with no lights on) Titan Fall 2 runs at around 57 FPS average. On battery both games run between 27-35 average on the exact same settings. Played 2 hours on battery and had 44% battery level left. Overall I’m happy with the device to play games and with the added bonus that it runs Windows 11 OS. I’ve purchased a foldable wireless keyboard and wireless controller to add more versatility. You get a gaming system that’s mobile, can connect to a tv, and can be used as a secondary mini PC computer.

AAA handheld gaming beast! Bigger is better! Lenovo shows how it's done! Bigger screen at 8.8in 144hz, ultra bright and crisp colors! Bigger battery 49wh means more game time! (Game & settings effect this) Absolute performance power house! 60fps!(average) Playing Grid Legends. Not even in performance mode!!!!(See picture). I couldn't belive it. Innovative removable controllers where the right one becomes a mouse! In the race to the top, Lenovo claims the podium for best handheld of 2023! (IMO)

I recently got my hands on the Lenovo Legion Go, and it’s been a game-changer for my portable gaming experience. The design is sleek, and it’s packing a powerful AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor that handles even the most demanding games effortlessly. The 8.8-inch QHD+ display is stunning, making everything look vibrant and crisp. One of my favorite features is the ergonomic controls and detachable controllers—they make long gaming sessions so much more comfortable. The battery life is pretty solid too but does depend on whatever games you'll be playing, and the cooling system works great, so I haven’t had any issues with overheating. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but if you’re a serious gamer looking for a high-performance handheld device, the Legion Go is definitely worth considering.

Lenovo legion go is my favorite portable handheld system, it delivers superb performance and could play all triple A games. With a bestbuy 2 year warranty im in safe hands if i have any problems. So far its the best handheld/computer ive owned, i recommend anyone that loves video games and also a great computer in one, this is a must have.

Detachable controllers is amazing with the built in stand, its the best feature on the legion go. Besides that it could handle AAA games pretty well. The 8” screen is amazing, immersive gaming experience.

So many things make this device stand out above the competition to me. The screen is gorgeous, and that size difference helps a ton. The detachable controllers are way more useful than a gimmick... To top it off, it has TWO USB4 ports. This thing can serve as a decently capable mobile workstation with the addition of a keyboard, mouse, cheap USBC dock, and cheap portable monitor! I wasn't sure if I'd really use it... But I haven't played a game in my desktop since I got it. The convenience of playing on the couch or in bed is amazing. You can also score some 3d printed comfort grips on Etsy that make it tons more cozy to hold.

Great product it arrived on time an was in perfect condition pulled it out box quick charge an was ready to set up an game pretty good performance for an older device easy to set up feels good in the hands

Great device, it’s not for people that had no experience with pc gaming, this is a handheld pc not a console, I have been using it 60% of the time to work, and 40% to game, this device is 237% more powerful than my core i7 11 nth gen work laptop, and I can notice the massive difference in performance, I expanded the storage woth a 1tb microSD and I have installed more games in it, no problem gaming on an microSD. Way better than the ROG Ally, and perfect screen, it is little heavy, but you get used to it as it is very comfortable in the grip
