This has been a great device for gaming on the go. I drive semi truck for a living and this has definitely replaced the switch and even for the most part my gaming laptop for the most part.
Preformance is great, can run most newer games on low with no problems. And runs a lot of older games on high or better settings with no problems. If you are into emulation youlll be in luck this is a great handheld for that!
I would definitely recommend a foldable bt keyboard especially for strategy games

The big screen is nice. The device is big but not too heavy. It can get too hot though even with minimal browsing and 2D games. Some games do run smooth while others do not.

I feel like this is not that much of an upgrade from asus rog ally. The fps mode is a cool concept but it isn't game-changing in any way since it feels a little jaggy, maybe it will be better in the future legion handhelds.
I will help you decide if you REALLY want this or not in simple terms:
1. A very beautiful and big screen for a handheld.
2. Powerful Z1 extreme chip (Same as Rog Ally), but it has a faster RAM which makes the performance benchmarks better.
3. Currently, the software isn't fully optimized, but it has a lot of potential.
4. Buying the 1 TB option is always better since it is only $50 more for double the storage.
4. I feel like 16 GB ram doesn't do justice to the device since it also pulls its VRAM from the total memory. It would've gotten at least 4 stars if the RAM was 32 GB.
5. It is currently the best handheld, even if it is only slightly better than rog ally, there are no other handhelds that perform better than this right now.
6. The controllers feel good, but the Ally also had great controllers so not much of a difference here.
7. Fingerprint magnet—oh god, it is the biggest fingerprint magnet. Check out the pictures I've uploaded.

Was there a day too early to get the rog ally x so i took a look at the legion go. Decided to buy this instead and im so glad i did. I love this thing. The screen is bigger and the detachable controllers is what does it for me.

Its amazing, i can play most of my games on 800p using intigerscaling or AI upscale to make use of the 1600p display no problem. The biggest problems that im having are delayed drivers and the lenovo legion space application both of which have been acknowledged by lenovo and they have promiced to fix this by December at the latest. The Ally had similar problems to begin with … so far I would recommend to anyone looking at handhelds that want more than a steam library and better performance than the deck. It’s definitely more of an enthusiast device but worth the extra couple hundred $$dollars..

The Best handheld

The standout feature of this device is its 8.8” screen, which offers vibrant colors and unmatched resolution in the handheld category. While the battery life isn’t great, this issue can be easily mitigated with a battery bank. Additionally, despite 16 GB of RAM seeming modest, it is actually more than sufficient for this handheld.

I would like to give my first reactions to this device how it works for me. I have read many reviews before purchasing this. I like this device. there are a few things that I want to say you're different than the other reviewers. not as well not repeat the same things.They are common problems and I know that they are going to fix most of them so I ignore the few issues that bothered me. I thought that they would give us a getting started guide inside the box, which would make a person less nervous about breaking it if they arent good with actual computers as this is a Windows machine. So, I felt that this really isn't a kids toy unless that kid wanted to learn advanced PC troubleshooting. These devices do need a crash start guide not a bunch of youtuber videos. People should know that for now, this device is being debugged and consumer judged by many and I say that it's awesome. It feels great to know that this device is easy to upgrade. We get a little control with these options. I've not seen better cloud gaming experiences than this. The controls bug out s sometimes and I'm not sure why but I've found that it corrects itself after some key presses or by touching the screen. All of my games ran Beautifully at their recommended settings. I am disappointed at the audio quality but I'm sure if the audio was better then it would weigh more. The kickstand is awesome. I believe that overall, i love the design. Functionality and the potential of this device most likely will improve. I expected some flaws. But as I'm learning this device, I feel happy about it. The battery life and the audio are things that can be worked on myself until then. With this gpu, I'm satisfied until I buy the e-gpu. Expect to study this device. There will always be a few tests and tweaking to be done. For awhile, you'll be discovering things. I discovered that I had a dock for a steamdeck that actually works well. I want to skin this as I feel that it will look sexy. Finally, I'm giving this a 5-star only because I like it, it's expensive but I feel that this device is extra impressive that it actually can be a daily driver PC and I will buy the Ally and use it mostly for production. Just an FYI. I never expected any gaming handheld to be capable of multibooting. That's what I mean, we're moving to an age that is ultimately powerful being able to come in with a PC that is small and win games. That's my plan. I've played Overwatch 2 with the thing. The colors were popping and the feel of the controls are good. I say, try this gaming device. Set it up on your desk. The appeal is attractive.

This is great for Windows 11. Nice touch with the build in track pad and the scroll wheel below. Great for gaming. I installed Epic, Gog Galaxy, Steam. Now I have access to so many games. I also appreciate the Nintendo Switch style removable controllers. The case it comes with is also great, allows charging through the little pass thru port. This is better than a OneXPlayer. Better than the Asus. Would like it better if it had one standard USB port. It has 2 USBC instead.

Better than Steam Deck?…

Originally there was a huge debate for me between getting the “OLED Steam Deck” vs. “Legion Go”. Ultimately I decided on the Legion Go. As the Legion Go is very versatile. Previously had the LCD steam deck since launch. Used the Legion Go for about a week or so and I’m very impressed how it performs. Huge display is amazing. Plays everything in my Steam Library from EldenRing, HellDivers, to even Cyberpunk. Enjoyed every minute playing on the Legion Go. The RGB thumb sticks are a plus.

As a photographer, I needed something that was easy to take on the go, but powerful enough to handle multitasking. I had a 2021 MacBook Pro with an M1 Pro chip, and this thing performed it where it matters most. The screen quality is incredible, And I would say it’s only major flaw. Is it speakers. With a few tweaks in the settings, the speakers become somewhat enjoyable and it is a welcome experience to any sofa or office desktop.

I recently purchased the 1st Gen Legion Go on December 2025. If you are playing video games from a decade ago, this device will play most of them at the highest quality! Even modern games run very well at medium settings, sometimes at high settings! This unit is equipped with Windows. You can attach a keyboard and mouse and have a mobile computer experience. A great alternative to owning a Laptop or a Desktop. Be sure to pair this unit with an SD card, as you will want to load this device with lots of video games and apps!

This is a great divice, beautiful screen and has an over all good look and feel. I really appreciate that it comes with a very nice case, that's very rare a company incudes anything they can sell to you later so its a nice chage to that. The onlt difficulty i had with it is that I am a console gamer and it has a learning curve if you don't have experience with pc gaming. The battery is strong, but when your running powerful games it only lasts an hour and a half, compared to the switch, wich granted is alot weaker system, it just feels short.

I was debating on waiting for the Ally X or going with the Go. I am glad I went with the Go, the screen was the deciding factor. I was able to play with the OG Ally in store and the screen made me almost not get a handheld period. Ordered the Go, the bigger screen is great. On the Ally it felt cramped. I'm able to play No Man's Sky, Farming Sim and Dead By Daylight and Civ perfectly.

Legion Go with Bazzite

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I have to say. The windows version of this is really bad. So I just installed a Linux Distro called Bazzite, and it's just been amazing afterwards (It's like SteamOS, but for everything).
People say the Go has bad ergonomics, I have to disagree. It feels awesome in hand and not actually that heavy compared with what some say. All in all I would highly recommend the Legion Go.

Awesome product. Beautiful display, good performance and software compatibility. The economics are comfortable, especially considering the weight. I love the detachable controllers for gaming, but I do wish they stayed on longer when using it to watch shows while docked to the TV. I love that Lenovo made the 1tb model only $50 more than the 512gb model, and I hope other laptop manufacturers follow suit.
