Best handheld
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Way better than the ROG Ally. Got this device for a great price and the 8inch screen makes a big difference. Totally worth it.

Worth It
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I move around a lot and this was perfect purchase for being able to have a lightweight portable gaming system. The case it comes in also keeps it safe and secure while constantly traveling.

It's Going Great!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought mine used in excellent condition. Its working well so far. Ive only run into a few things. If I dont let it load long enough when i first boot it up then the keyboard wont pull up. And for awhile there i was having issues with it suddenly shutting down while i was playing, but fixing some settings in BIOS seems to have midigated that so far.

Large Screen, PS4 PRO POWER
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like that: This device has a large screen compared to the competitors. But also has the power of roughly a PS4 TO PS4 pro. The controllers are pretty uncomfortable, but I 3d printed some grips, and it was an easy fix. 10/10

Im sold
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Loving it so far. Been eyeing buying a handheld for steam gaming and when i saw this was coming out waited and glad i did. Great size display. Only thing is you should definitely play with headphones as the speakers don't pack any punch.

Greatest Mobile Console/Work PC
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use the Legion Go for both gaming and work purposes. When im finished playing around, I use it for business purposes since its still running the Windows 11 required for my companies softwares. The controllers detach, and the right controller can be used as a full functioning mouse with extra buttons when you need a more PC like experience. Its also much lighter than the average laptop so traveling for flights is much easier and I dont have to worry about an 8-10 pound laptop! You can always connect most if not all bluetooth products you already own such as an external keyboard and mouse if needed. Would reccomend to any gamer, or anyone looking for a smaller/portable experience for work on the go.

Great overall & software updates should improve it
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solidly built, good controls, fantastic screen, fan a little loud but device stays cool, software updates needed to Legion Space but devs seem focused on them, removable controllers feel great in the hands, and FPS mode is a nice touch

Wonderful for low end games and as storage.
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an excellent device… but not if you are used to a high end gaming experience or don’t have access to a power outlet 24/7. It doesn’t handle well with higher settings like I am used to however I really enjoyed using it for lower intensity games or coding, and maybe even a little bit of streaming on Netflix or HBO. It has also been a wonderful diagnostic tool working in HVAC & Electrical. I also store important documents on this as well because 1TB of storage is a lot for things like that. The controller is more than enough for me, though I love my scuff envision pro :)

Excellent Gaming Handheld AND Windows PC!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this thing. I'll admit I game "a little," so I'm not super hardcore like most individuals purchasing this. But, I love this machine. I can stream games, use any and all emulators I want, use Steam, and also use this as a regular Windows PC. This thing looks cool, comes with a heavy duty case, and is pretty much complete out of the box. I use it in handheld mode a lot, have it docked to a monitor to use as a traditional PC, and even have a dock to game on my TV. I purchased a folding Bluetooth keyboard w/ trackpad to use for travel. I don't need to do very intensive things so this screen suffices out and about without having to use my laptop. Excellent machine, 10/10.

Not very good ergonomics or good battery life
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's very good in terms of power, but bad in ergonomics, software, and battery life.

Posted .Hi GuillermoSd-
Thank you for choosing Lenovo and sharing your experience with us. We are happy to hear that you are enjoying the performance of Legion Go. We have noted your comments regarding the ergonomics of the device and may use your insight to improve future products. Your satisfaction is important to us, and so we would like to recommend a few actions you can take to improve battery life.
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 can adjust power allocation leading to improve battery life. 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 can also adjust the active performance profile and fan speed of the device based on 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 to your preferred mode. We recommend using Quiet Mode which will improve battery life.
Regarding your concern about software, we would like to hear more about the software issues you encountered so that we may improve.
Please reach out to us through the Q & A section of this product webpage if you have any questions or would like to share any other comments with us.
Best wishes,
Lenovo

Love this thing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replaced my gaming PC with this handheld and have been having a blast. Have played every game I’ve wanted with no issues, and have really been enjoying the portability and ease of use/setup. I love that it can still perform the functions of a normal windows computer as well so I can still do school work and stream anime, watch movies etc

Great hardware. Software needs some time
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming from both a Steam Deck, and ROG Ally, the Legion Go is a nice step forward (although a small step). It being a Windows System, you can play just about anything. The large vibrant screen is great, and some reviews of it lacking VRR are a bit overblown. The ROG Ally has much better speakers since Levovo decided to have upward firing speakers instead of toward the user. The SD slot works! The SD slot in my Ally died recently as predicted. The Go runs nice and cool. I dont think ive seen it exceed 70°. Legion Space needs some work, but Lenovo has alreast taken user feedback to release an update. Looking forward to move software updates.

Great option over steam deck and ROG
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.excellent handheld gaming experience. I am able to game with almost all of my Steam Library (minus games that don't support controller) at decent settings and with the 1 tb storage have plenty of room to have options when I travel. Battery life is a little on the short side but still can get 2 hours of play time without charging.

Good device but not so great battery

Posted .Hi,
Thanks for choosing Lenovo and for sharing your feedback with us!
Regarding the battery life, since the Legion Go can pack gaming laptop level performance in a handheld device, power can drain quickly. 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 read that you are otherwise satisfied with your purchase.

Good but Undercooked
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall I think this is a product with a lot of promise, but it needs more time to cook. Performance in game is excellent as is the screen, but the legion space software is missing key features that I consider to be vital to improving the experience, TDP and deadzone customization and custom fan curves to name a few. I decided to return my device because right now there are other offerings from competitors that are more feature complete.
