    This device is even better than I thought it would be. Originally it was supposed to be my mobile Witcher 3 machine. And Witcher 3 performs great on it. I love the screen and performance so much that I installed my productivity apps, and now I have a mobile device for work too. I’m pretty sure my present desktop pc is my last one. With a docking station, I could easily use this as my main PC.

    This is great handheld that is very customizable. The initial setup was a bit long because of all the updates. I have had some issues when removing the controllers. When you remove the controller left stick sticks causing everything to move left (stick drift). Very annoying. Battery is another story. Dies really fast and I would recommend being near a power source or having a powerbank. Other than that everything looks good and you can see the potential for future hardware improvements.

    I brought this as Microsoft is going to stop supporting Windows on my Intel Mac Mini. The built quality this unit is excellent and reminds me the IBM ThinkPad I used years ago. This little one is a lot more powerful than my Mac Mini, but at much lower power consumption and also portable. It works with everything I attached to my Mac Mini, including my RX 5700 XT as an eGPU. I wish Lenovo will allow setting the amount VRAM much lower so that I can have more RAM to run Star Citizen while using my eGPU.

    I've owned the 1TB Legion for about a month now and I am incredibly happy with it. I was debating between this and the Asus ROG, but I ultimately went with the Legion for the added storage, large screen size, and future potential as it is a newer device. So far I'm blown away by it's capabilities and haven't touched a console since I bought it. My only regret is not purchasing one sooner.

    Great device. Used it for a year and a half, loved every minute I owed it. Just bought the legion go 2, the 8.8 inch screen is the selling point for me, 7 inch is way too small, even 8 feels small compared to this beast.

    Great Device, Almost Excellent

    Excellent performance as a Steam device along with anything else Windows can do. Can be a replacement laptop with a keyboard and mouse and it's a great way to mix productivity with handheld gaming. You can add additional storage via SD and do all kinds of mods on the OS level with booting into Linux (which I haven't done) for the sake of performance. I think the device is really a 4.5/5 with a 3/5 controller. The buttons, sticks, and touchpad are great, it is the sharp edge on the bottom of the controller. You can lie down on a bed and play OEM Switch and Steam Deck controllers, you will hurt your hands with the Legion Go. That said, go on Etsy and look for ComfortGrips. With that the controllers are a 4.5. You have to cram the new form factor into the provided case, but it's not that big of a deal. You do lose the ability to use the little trap door for charging in the case, and that may or may not matter to you. Very worthwhile purchase.

    Pretty amazing performance for a handlheld. Can handle most games ive thrown at it with high quality presets. You can tinker around with the hardware, but overall quite impressive. Take the controllers off and you have a powerful windows tablet witj kickstand that gets great battery life when browsing or watching movies. Z2 extreme isnt worth the 1k pricetags when it 5% faster, this was a steal on sale at BB!

    I love the Legion Go. I originally had the Asus Ally but liked the bigger screen on the Legion Go. It's great for on-the-go gaming. I usually dock it when I am home and use an external monitor /mouse/keyboard. It has become my main way to game now. It gets better with every update. If there were one thing that I could change, it would be to upgrade it to 32 gigs of memory. I think the extra memory would help since it is shared with the GPU.

    Good - on it's way to being great. It needs a little bit of software/firmware maturity, but this is a great device. Lenovo does a good job of pushing out updates every month, so I fully expect this to keep improving. FSR will be a really nice addition when the driver package is updated. The screen is beautiful, and the controllers fit my large hands very well - I could see it giving small handed people/kids issues.

    The Legion Go has raised the bar by a long shot. I've been playing on it almost everyday and have a hard time believing anyone else is going to meet many check boxes it has checked off... speed, graphics, sound, battery, customization, and feel. Compared to the Steam Deck, the Legion GO feels like quality just by holding it. I had the Steam Deck and returned it after a week of using it because it felt beta to me. The legion GO is the way to go ;) You wont be dissapointed.

    I traded in my ROG ally for this. This handheld is FAR superior to the ally. My SDcard reader in the Ally broke (known issue) after only a couple weeks and the only remedy was to mail it back to ASUS and be without it for months, so I opted to use it with only the limited storage, was so excited when this came out. the display is gorgeous, and the detachable controllers are awesome. the dual USB 4 ports are also super helpful.

    This is my first handheld gaming device since the gameboys. The screen is very clear, controls work great as well. I have not removed the controllers to play but i like the idea of being able to remove them like a switch. I will say it is kind of heavy but that doesnr bother me. All in all i am very please with my purchase and use it regularly since picking it up.

    I was apprehensive about buying a handheld that is so large and one that is about to be replaced shortly. I couldn't be happier with getting it. I got it on sale, which was a great deal. The updates aren't always quick to roll out but the community has these running games that look incredible. Yes its bigger, but I don't find it uncomfortable at all. Much easier to hold for longer periods than my Switch 1.
