    Very convenient for a parent. Since it's so mobile, I can play while the little guy sleeps in my arms. Battery doesn't last too long if it's unplugged but I wasn't expecting much. Over all, great purchase.

    Overall the Go has been great for me. compared to the ROG Ally the screen is amazing, and while it doesn't have VRR it has still been pretty good for me. Another huge difference compared to the Ally is the speakers. Frankly speaking the Ally speakers are light years ahead of the Go speakers, and they are upward firing instead of facing towards you. Especially early on the software always needs a lot of work, and there are many things that need worked on. So far Lenovo has done an alright job of updates to the Legion Space app so hopefully everything else follows.

    Not as powerful as the Ally because it can only use 25-30 watts. Howwever the screen makes the difference. The Ally over time hurt my eyes, it wasnt until I got the Legion that the 8inch display popped and I would rather trade a 5-10 fps difference for a larger screen. Based on the performance I think the devices are overpriced. If this was coming from a console platform it'd have the same specs but wouldnt cost more than $550. For what you're getting, you're just getting 720p on low or medium settings with upscaling. This is all because PC optimization isn't as good as console game. With these same specs every console developer would easily make games 1080p. The stand is amazing as well, it's a thing you didnt ask for but it's great and made well.

      Hi, Devonte. Thank you for choosing Lenovo! Regarding the battery life, depending on the demand of the game you're playing; by pressing the Legion R button to launch the quick menu, you can switch to lower power mode to save battery. In the menu, under the performance tab, users can toggle thermal modes and prioritize battery life by using the default mode or creating a custom thermal mode should you not be satisfied with the 3 presets. These adjustments can also be made by going into Legion Space > Settings (Legion Space can be launched quickly by pressing the Legion L button (Legion Logo above the button). We are glad to know that you are otherwise liking your Legion Go, and we appreciate your time taken to share your experience and feedback with us. Lenovo

    Great device for engineering on the go. For the gaming side I feel the Lenovo dash could use some updates. The device performed amazingly for my engineering tasks.Performance in games are alright but could use a sightly better graphics processor. Most game will only run well in a low-mid to mid-high setting. I like the dual c ports allowing for external components to be added. Battery life is short, around 2 hours with moderate usage.

    Powerful and the mouse pad is nice. I thought the removable controllers would be nice but they're more of a hassle. Doesn't work well hooked up to a TV or monitor. Unit is too built and heavy. Right controller broke after a year.

    Picked this up wanting something to play my PC games on that could get me away from my desk... and while I wasn't sure what to expect at first, after I got it all set up I'm completely in love. It's a beautiful system and I haven't run into a single game in my Steam library that hasn't ran well on it. Here's a small sampling of the more graphically intensive games I've tried out: Destiny 2, Forza Horizons 4 and 5, Granblue Fantasy Relink, Resident Evil 2 and 3. I have many more to go, but so far so good. It also runs games like Genshin Impact and Star Rail flawlessly. All in all, it's a great system and I feel like it's well worth the price.

    This is a great pc hand held, easy to use and set up. My only complaints are the battery life is pretty short and the controllers were a little blocky, but despite that I was able to game on it with decent frame rates for the 45 minutes to an hour before it had to be plugged in. I did end up returning because it didn't get as much use as my PS5. Definitely would recommend though.

    Works as intended. Can play most xbox pass games including Madden. Can’t replace my PS5 or a gaming PC but pretty good for handheld. Battery life sucks and the fans are loud. Can’t use in the plane if u are an adult.

    I only have two complaints about the OG Legion Go: The screen and the driver support. The screen is a native portrait mode tablet screen, which is whatever, but the resolution and refresh rate are way too high relative to the power of the Legion Go. It would be better as a 900p screen with maybe 120 hz. Lenovo's driver support for the OG Go is basically nonexistent, so if you want regular updates, just swap from Windows to Bazzite or SteamOS.

    This thing is awesome. I remember my good old Gateway computer with 2gb hard drive dreaming that one day I'd be able to hold a super gaming computer in my hands. THAT TIME IS HERE. This thing is so awesome. I got it for my son who is at WestPoint in the Army and he absolutely loves it. Graphics and processor speed is awesome, the screen is just the right size. He can play his xbox games, steam games, any pc game, just awesome.

      Hi Nate-

      Thank you for choosing Lenovo and sharing your experience with us. We are happy to hear that you are enjoying the Legion Go. We aim to offer great user experience and would like to work with you to address your concerns.

      Firstly, we recommend running and installing all available drivers updates through Legion Space and Windows Update Settings, these updates are crucial to the device’s health and will affect power regulation leading to improved battery and thermals. To check for updates within Legion Space begin by launching the application, then click "Disks and Drivers" located at the bottom of the display, then select "Check for Updates". To check for Windows Updates, start by launching the Settings app, then selecting the Windows Update tab on the left-hand side of the page, finally select the “Check for updates’ button located in the top right of the page.

      The Legion Go also comes has the ability to adjust the active performance profile and fan speed of the device based off your needs. To start press the hexagonal options key located on the right controller, then select the performance tab represented by the rocket ship, from here you can adjust the performance mode. We recommend using Quiet mode which will lower the temperature of the device and enhance battery life.

      Please reach out to us through the Q & A section of this product webpage if you have any questions or need any assistance.

      Best wishes,
