    Coming from a steam deck, I saw reviews saying how the Legion go was harder to use and less streamlined. This couldnt be further from the truth. It plays every game smoother and with much better graphic settings than the steam deck could. I havent had any major issues so far and i absolutely love the screen size. Its a total win!

    Fantastic handheld. You may want to get some aftermarket cushions for the bottom corners that fit into the pads of your hand. Expect the fan to run heavily only CPU. CAN BE USED AS A PERSONALIZED COMPUTER.

    The Lenovo Legion Portable is very well build, big-screen, mouse pad, joystick and detachable controls (very nice). Best of all, it can be used as regular laptop. Of course, there are some CON about this unit, but then again, no perfect game handheld. But if you can and know how-to installing PC gaming, it's a very nice device.

    Not an easy PC handheld to use but still good

    The major downsides right now is that the software isn't very robust at the moment. Also, you really need to understand that this is laptop, or windows tablet first, that has controllers stuck on it. If you are not familiar with Windows then I would not buy this. You need some Windows experience to make the Go usable. But with the software experience and Windows aside, it is pretty good. It is very large and not that portable honestly. The Ally is more portable. The controls are fine but the FPS mode is just strange and I don't like it. If you want an easy PC handheld you get the Steam Deck. If you want a more portable Windows handheld, you get the Ally. I would only suggest the Go if you want a good windows tablet, with no pen support, or just really want a big screen on a handheld.

    The legion , even though its not the newest one the feature of detachable controls is great and being able to use it a a mouse is great , the 8.8 “ screen if great compared to the 7” that is usually on these handhelds

    Great Unit, no power adapter

    No problem with the unit, it came in excellent condition, and it works great. I took out one star because it didn't come with a power adapter, strangely, however, the customer service offered me a refund but no replacement. Unfortunately, the price for this unit shot up by 70 bucks, and at that point I was better off buying a power adapter my self. But apart from that, things are pretty good.

    I really love the quality. Screen is SO good and powerful gaming experience. ONLY problems is the battery life and the controllers. Battery is only a average of 1 - 1.5 hours of life and controllers fit awkwardly in hand ( also pretty big). Other then that, this is a recommended item

      Hello, Y0BLAKE. Thank you for choosing Lenovo! Regarding battery life, we recommend going into device settings in Legion Space. Making adjustments to the performance and display settings if you want the system to prioritize efficiency more, or whatever your preference may be. By default, it will try to drive more power to give you a smoother gaming experience. We are glad to hear that your Legion Go has been great otherwise, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. Lenovo

    I'm blown away by the screen, performance and build quality! Played several Steam and Xbox games through Game Pass and couldn't be halpier. Also it's a full Windows 10 Home edition OS so browsing, watching Netflix, etc. is all possible. I upgraded the OS to Windows 11 Pro to use Bitlocker with a pin at startup.

    I mainly purchased for more portability to play WOW instead of crarrying my laptop around. This handheld does not disappoint. I'm not playing other games on is such as Hogwarts Legacy, Sims 4 and the Warhammer series. Lobe, love this big vibrant screen! I was able to get it when it was on sale and as a like new openbox, saving me 190 bucks.

    I bought this after someone stole my Steam Deck, and quickly fell in love. The extra power this system has allowed me to play games at higher FPS rates and higher resolutions, the kickstand is incredibly useful, and the detatchable controllers are quite handy. My only complaint is that the controllers are a bit boxy, and can be uncomfortable for long-term use.

    Good first generation handheld PC from Lenovo

    I love how this item was packaged and how it includes a protective case. The protective case is solid and has a quality feel to it. Unfortunately, it is bulky and doesnt have place to put the charger. I would only recommend the Legion Go if you are someone who knows how to use windows and doesnt mind tinkering with settings. If you have small hands, you may not like this device. It feels significantly larger to hold compared to other handhelds. The screen looks great despite lacking VRR. The screen is also native portrait which leads to some issues here and there but I wouldnt say its a dealbreaker. This is not like a nintendo switch or steam deck in terms of ease of use. Its more of a small tablet PC just with the option to attach controllers to it. If you play first person shooters, there is currently large deadzones at the moment, which affects aiming. I believe its being worked on and will be fixed in a future patch. My right controller had a bit of wobble which from my research is not normal so I returned it. Im planning to buy a replacement unit.
